PROUD SPONSOR OF

The Long-Awaited Summer And what to do with it

t’s Memorial Day weekend, long heralded as the kickoff to summer. This year it feels like we’ve been waiting longer than ever for summer to come— with the shadow of the pandemic cast over all of last summer, we saw relatively few friends or extended family, and we didn’t dare make major vacation plans or hold events. This summer brings the anticipation of many things. For me, it’s participating in a friend’s June wedding and traveling to see my in-laws in the Midwest for the first time in 18 months. And enjoying the summertime traditions of Chesapeake Country—as they come back slowly but surely. This week Annapolis came alive as the celebrations of the U.S. Naval Academy’s Commissioning Week returned. The Blue Angels flight demonstration squad went screaming through the city once again and the CBM Bay Weekly family

gathered in person to take in the air show. It was the first time we’d seen each other in real life in more than a year. The last time our staff was physically together, our newly-formed team under CBM ownership had only produced 11 Bay Weekly issues. The state’s stayat-home order quickly scattered our newspaper staff from Calvert County to Baltimore City and everywhere in between. Since then, we’ve proudly published 62 issues from our remote “newsroom”, relying heavily on videocalls and endless messages and emails. Our team had not laid eyes on one another until the famed Blue Angels took to the skies. We “oohed,” “aahed”, and got chills when the jets swooped low in formation. All the while we bantered back and forth like normal co-workers—the kind of banter that happens organically in the office, but almost never over

a videoconference call. Reconnecting away from our home offices was energizing, and we’re carrying that energy into this week’s paper. As we usher in the summer season, you’ll find practical advice to help you tackle some of the Chesapeake region’s most popular pandemic-era pastimes. Think family fishing trips, boat rides, outdoor movies at home and … mountain biking? Believe it or not, this sport is trending in Chesapeake Country where there’s a network of top-notch trails hiding right under our noses in Annapolis (as you’ll see in our feature page 10). Seasoned mountain bikers love the trail surfaces created by our unique watershed location. One time out on the Bay and you’ll see boating is enjoying the same level of popularity. That means plenty of new boaters and plenty of safety concerns. The pros tell us the most important

things you can do when boating—especially at night—to avoid a serious tragedy. (Yes, life jackets are part of it, but there’s a lot more to consider.) Whether on a boat or standing on shore, our Sporting Life angler gives a primer on what to fish for, where to go, and how to do it safely … follow his guidelines and you may even catch something. Don’t have a rod? Depending on where you live, you can check one out of an Anne Arundel County library. Whatever it is that you’re most looking forward to this summer, we hope this issue helps you get started. The best part: none of these activities involve a single videoconference call. p —MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM EDITORIAL DIRECTOR

Because night boating can be dangerous, it’s even more important to wear your life jacket, even as an experienced boater. Officer Brian Hunt with Maryland Natural Resources Police (NRP) says new boaters should be coming back to shore as the sun sets over Bay waterways. Photos by Cheryl Costello.

DANGER AFTER DARK Rescuers warn about hazards of night boating BY CHERYL COSTELLO

t’s the start of summer, and you’re having so much fun on the boat that you stay out just a little past sunset. But operating a boat at night is a whole different ball game than in the daylight, as serious recent collisions on the Bay have shown us. There are important things to consider whether you’re a seasoned skipper or you’ve embraced boating more since the pandemic. In time for this Memorial Day weekend, Bay Bulletin talked to experienced rescuers about where things can go wrong. Officer Brian Hunt with Maryland Natural Resources Police (NRP) says new boaters should be coming back to shore as the sun sets over Bay waterways. “Once you are 100 percent confident in your navigational skills in the day-

While the female spawning population bodes well for crab abundance, juvenile numbers were down in 2021.

WINTER CRAB SURVEY RESULTS MIXED: LOW JUVENILE CRAB COUNT, FEMALES PLENTIFUL BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

esults are in from the annual winter snapshot of the Chesapeake Bay’s crab population are in, and it’s a mixed bag. The 2021 Blue Crab Winter Dredge Survey, a cooperative estimate from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS),

time, you can graduate to nighttime operations,” he tells us from NRP’s post at Sandy Point. “Slow is pro. You need to slow down at nighttime.” We asked Officer Hunt to take us through some nighttime boating advice during National Safe Boating Week. After all, traffic on the water is expected to increase this season. TowBoatUS predicts a 20 percent increase in emergency calls in 2021. You might recognize his name: Officer Hunt put his own life on the line earlier this month to rescue a man stuck underneath a capsized boat on the Bay off Annapolis. He took his gun belt off and did a rescue dive in uniform, the result of a nighttime boat collision. “I dove underneath. I had to rip the captain’s chair out from over me over the pedestal. It was kind of freaky be-

cause the electronics were still on in the boat—lots of hanging wires, fishing lures, things like that. So, I had to make sure I didn’t get entangled myself.” Hunt’s oxygen tank was a literal lifesaver. “I did pull out my second gauge, I gave it to him. I could feel him take air from my tank. And I was holding his hand at that point with my left hand, and as I sunk down below him, I gave him a couple of squeezes, which are easy hand signals to let him know I was about to pull him out.” Good Samaritans brought three passengers onto their boat that night.

shows strong numbers for the female crab population in 2021, but total crab abundance was below average and the number of juvenile crabs was at an alltime low. Spawning-age female crab abundance increased from 141 million in 2020 to 158 million. That’s well above the long-term average of 126 million spawning-age females. It’s a good sign for future crab populations. “Protecting spawning age females is a critical component to maintaining a healthy and sustainable blue crab population,” Maryland Department of Natural Resources Secretary Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio said. “We are pleased to report that the cooperative management efforts of our Chesapeake Bay jurisdictions have continued to conserve female crabs within a healthy range.” But there are still gains to be made with the female population: a stock assessment analysis recently updated the target for spawning-age females to 196 million. And when it comes to juvenile crab abundance in the winter of 2021, the news is not good. The number of juve-

niles was estimated at 86 million, the lowest-recorded juvenile abundance in the 32 years since the survey began. DNR and VIMS say they can’t identify a specific cause, but do note that large variations in annual juvenile recruitment to the Chesapeake Bay are normal for blue crabs, because of their reliance on environmental factors such as wind and currents. The winter survey also shows a below-average adult male crab population, 39 million compared to the long-term average of 77 million. Overall blue crab abundance was a below-average 282 million. “Blue crab fishery managers will need to keep a close eye on juvenile and male abundance over the summer through our monitoring efforts and to exercise caution moving forward into next year, as these crabs recruit to the fishery,” said Mike Luisi, director of Maryland DNR’s Monitoring and Assessment Division of Fishing and Boating Services. What’s the impact of these numbers on commercial and recreational crabbers? The Chesapeake Bay Stock

“What you can learn from this is even if you do everything correctly, you can still get in trouble out on the Bay,” says Officer Hunt. He recommends checking your navigational lights before you leave the dock to make sure they’re working. The green light tells other boaters they’re approaching your starboard side; the red light means the port side. He also suggests turning down the backlight on your electronics so you’re not being night-blinded by them. “Things look further away; things can look closer. Not only do you see the lights of boats, but you see the lights of cars or the shoreline of people’s houses. And all those things can simply drown out the lights of other boats. It’s very easy to get disoriented. It’s happened to the best operators.” The U.S. Coast Guard is also pushing for life jackets to be worn—not just carried on the boat. “Eighty-six percent of people who die from downing after a boating accident were not wearing their life jackets,” PO Second Class Donald Abey tells Bay Bulletin. And when it comes to night boating, be sure to have flares on board, too. “You have to be ready to save other people, as well as yourself, on the water,” says Officer Hunt. Hunt was honored last week with a proclamation from Maryland Lieutenant Governor Boyd Rutherford for helping to save a life. “Ninety-nine percent of what we do as divers is more of a recovery mission, not really rescue. So, to have that rescue happen for our agency was just a real blessing,” he says. Assessment Committee will provide scientific advice for management this month, then DNR and the Blue Crab Industry Advisory Committee will provide guidance on a “course of action for 2021 that promotes the health of the Chesapeake Bay blue crab population and its fisheries.” The Chesapeake Bay Foundation cautions that the low numbers could be cause for tighter limits on crabs. In a statement, Senior Regional Ecosystem Scientist Chris Moore says, “The reduced abundance of juveniles and males could make crabs scarce later this summer into the fall for those who enjoy eating crabs, and indicates we should remain cautious in our approach to managing this valuable fishery.” To conduct the Winter Dredge Survey, biologists use dredge equipment to capture, measure, record and release blue crabs at 1,500 sites throughout the Chesapeake Bay from December through March. Detailed results are on the DNR website. https://dnr.maryland.gov/fisheries/ Pages/blue-crab/dredge.aspx

NEW ANNAPOLIS MURAL PAYS HOMAGE TO HISTORIC BLACK BEACH RESORT BY CHERYL COSTELLO

arr’s Beach was an entertainment mecca on the Annapolis Neck during racial segregation in the early- to mid20th century. The private beach club drew thousands of people to hear the likes of Chuck Berry, James Brown, and Billie Holliday perform. This past weekend, the City of Annapolis unveiled a vibrant mural paying tribute to the heyday of Carr’s Beach, along one of the roads that led to the beach resort. Today, the property is a waterfront condo community, but the city is pledging to create a physical reminder of the legendary pop-culture destination. Muralist Comacell Brown Jr. walked Bay Bulletin down the 150-foot wall he transformed with images of Carr’s Beach. Located at Stage One on the property of the Maryland Cultural and Conference Center (MC3), the new mural represents a key piece of African American history on the Chesapeake. “It was a staple for entertainment on the East Coast for beachgoers because this was one of the few beaches where Black people could come and freely just enjoy themselves,” Brown tells us. Brown grew up in Annapolis and always heard about Carr’s Beach. But he researched for a few months, leaning on Maryland State Archives for pictures and local historians to shape his vision. “They gave me full creative control with coming up with the design,” he says. And he enlisted other artists to collaborate on the project, including kids. “I wrote my signature down there on the sign, so just anybody can drive by and look at the art. I know I did that. It makes me feel really good. Everybody who looks would be like, ‘Wow, that’s really good.’ And I helped,” says student artist Imran Okedeyi. Brown points out the significance of the people painted on the mural: “Mary Florence Carr-Sparrow, she is the owner of Carr’s Beach. She inherited this property from her father … Her sister, Elizabeth Carr, was actually the owner of Sparrow’s Beach, right by Carr’s Beach but two totally differ-

ent venues. You can’t mention Carr’s Beach without mentioning Sparrow’s Beach.” The mural also depicts George Phelps Jr., the head patrol officer at the popular venue. “He would get on the mic and let it be known there’s no foolishness that’s going to go on in Carr’s Beach. And if it is, you’d be handled accordingly. And I heard he left a couple lumps on some heads.” The beach resort operated from 1926 to 1974, but one of its biggest days was an unforgettable performance by James Brown, depicted in the mural. “We have Hoppy Adams, who is with WNAV radio. He was the host of all the Sunday events they threw at Carr’s Beach. I have him next to James Brown … probably one of the biggest entertainers to visit Carr’s Beach. Word is that there were 70,000 people here to see James Brown, and only 10,000 made it in,” Brown says. In the mural you’ll also find popular activities like swimming and ferris wheel rides, and a shot of the Bay Bridge. At the ribbon-cutting, Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley made a big promise. “We are going to save the last piece of Carr’s Beach. I mean that. It’s 6 acres … kind of in the Sparrow’s Beach [area] but it’s part of that peninsula. We are going to work hard to save that and I think we should rename Edgewood Road to be Carr’s Beach Road,” Buckley announced. Maryland Lieutenant Governor Boyd Rutherford says he called his 91-yearold mother on the way to the event. “I knew and she was reiterating: it was the only place, only beach (that and Highland Beach) where African Americans could go,” he says. Annapolis Historian Janice Hayes-Williams says it was also an important employer. “All the Black teachers in Annapolis, they worked at Carr’s Beach. They didn’t get a check during the summer. You made your money at Carr’s Beach and it was an economic engine.” Today, Brown says his art is evidence of a community unified to honor its history. “I feel like Annapolis is making a really big push with spreading unity and everybody just getting on the same page. And doing that, it takes respecting your history,” Brown concludes.

SALTWATER TAFFY BEER? THE ICONIC BEACH TREAT IN DRINKABLE FORM BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

f you thought Old Bay beer was about as “Maryland” as it could get, think again. Flying Dog, the Frederick-based brewing company that brought us the popular Dead Rise Old Bay Gose, has now teamed up with Dolle’s Candyland, maker of saltwater taffy “down the ocean”, at Maryland and Delaware beaches. Flying Dog’s limited-release Saltwater Taffy IPA, the first of its kind, will be in stores starting the first week of June. The

brewery describes it as having “an unmistakable flavor that takes you back to days full of taffy at the beach, while not letting you forget you’re drinking an IPA.” The 7.6 percent ABV beer “perfectly blends the flavor of freshly squeezed lemons and citrus hops with rich notes of vanilla creaminess.” This beer (probably) tastes like summertime in Ocean City. The inspiration for the beer came from the brewery’s annual pitch program, in which employees come up with ideas for “Brewhouse Rarities”. “Our team loves coming up with surprising flavors to wow consumers and when we can do that while partnering with local legends like Dolle’s, it makes it that much sweeter,” said James Maravetz, VP of Marketing at Flying Dog Brewery. Saltwater Taffy IPA will be available in 6-packs of 12oz bottles. “Taste tests were enjoyed thoroughly between both Maryland businesses as we developed an IPA that invokes fun and summer with inspired flavors of Dolle’s lemon saltwater taffy,” says Anna Dolle Bushnell, President of Dolle’s Candyland, Inc.

Check out a Fishing Pole?

Edgewater Library loans rods thanks to gift BY KRISTA PFUNDER

ow about a little fishing with your summer reading? Fishing poles are now available at the Edgewater branch of the Anne Arundel County Public Library, thanks to a memorial gift from the family of Philip F. “Phil” Meyers Jr. The latest addition means that fishing poles can now be borrowed free of charge from three library branches. Eastport-Annapolis Neck and Mountain Road libraries have stocked fishing poles since 2017 through a partnership with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. “My family are watermen, through and through,” says Georgeanne Meyers-Montanari, longtime AACPL employee and sister of Phil Meyers. “We wanted to honor the loss of my brother and chose this program. My parents were thrilled to do this, plus the library is familiar with us since I’ve worked here since I was 15.” The fishing pole loan program began when a staff member at the Mountain Road branch was approached by DNR Education Specialist Stacy Epperson about lending out fishing poles.

Fishing poles must be returned from the location where they were borrowed and cannot be returned via the book drop or left outside the library.

A Shot at $400,000

State announces lottery for vaccinated citizens BY KATHY KNOTTS

n efforts to further entice us to get our vaccinations against COVID-19, Governor Larry Hogan announced last week a $2 million promotion that could make getting the shot just a little less painful. Hogan, along with the Maryland Lottery and the Maryland Department of Health (MDH) announced the launch of a statewide lottery that will award 40 vaccinated residents $40,000 each. A daily random drawing will be held now through July 3. On the Fourth of July officials will draw a name for a grand prize of $400,000. As part of an unprecedented partnership, the Lottery will work in close collaboration with MDH on the $2 Million VaxCash Promotion. Each Maryland resident age 18 or older who has been vaccinated in Maryland at any time will be randomly assigned a number in a secure system maintained by MDH, which serves as the custodian of Maryland’s vaccination records. Separately, the Lottery will use a random number generator to select a winning number each day from the total number of people who have been vaccinated. “Getting more people vaccinated is good for Maryland, and this is a promotion the Lottery is especially proud to be part of,” said Maryland Lottery and Gaming Director Gordon Medenica. “And most importantly, putting COVID19 in the rearview mirror is great for

We know everyone is eager for a fun-filled summer where the pandemic is a distant memory.” MDH will notify the winners, who must provide written consent of their willingness to accept the prize. Winners will be permitted to remain anonymous, but are encouraged to share their stories. “I am beyond proud of every single vaccinated Marylander who has stepped up to protect themselves and keep Maryland safe and healthy.” said MDH Secretary Dennis R. Schrader. “We need every eligible Marylander

vaccinated, and this lottery is a further incentive to get a life-saving vaccination to ensure we leave no arm behind in our fight to put this pandemic behind us.” Prizes will be paid directly from the Lottery’s marketing budget. “Go out and get vaccinated to protect yourself, your family, your friends, and your fellow Marylanders,” said Hogan. “And if you needed one more good reason, then go out and get vaccinated for your chance to win a share of this $2 million. So, remember Maryland—get your shot for a shot to win.”

Stream Expert: Stream Restoration Works, Sort Of

ration work of Chesapeake Bay watershed streams has proven to be effective in reducing the level of pollutants entering the Bay. She’s now investigating just how much benefit these heralded projects have. The scientist has been studying and regularly sampling water at 10 stream sites in the Severn, Magothy, Rock Creek, Anacostia and Patuxent watersheds, during both normal flow and stormwater conditions. Some of the waterways include Cabin Branch, Church Creek, Red Hill Branch and Park Drive. One thing Filoso and her colleagues have discovered is that over 50 percent of the discharge of water from these watersheds that goes into the Chesapeake Bay occurs during storm periods. Stormwater has a disproportionately high discharge impact on the Bay in in

tream restoration projects are funded, executed, and praised all over the Chesapeake watershed—but how big of an impact are they making, really, in restoring the health of the Bay? University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science associate research professor Solange Filoso has been keeping a close eye on the rivers and streams of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. She keeps an even closer eye on the restoration projects intended to improve the waterways and subsequently keep pollution out of the Bay and improve habitat for wildlife. Filoso says that the ongoing resto-

comparison to number of days of fair weather, normal-flow days. “For stormwater flow, we saw substantial decreases {of pollutants}, especially for suspended solids,” Filoso explained during a seminar for the Chesapeake Biological Labs’ Science for Citizens series last month, a topic she’s continuously been working on for decades. “Stream restoration is highly effective [during stormwater conditions],” she says. “All the channels reduced loads for nitrogen, some better than others, up to 60 percent.” But the same can’t be said of normal water flow periods. At those times concentrations of phosphorous and sediments either didn’t decrease, or actually increased, Filoso said. “The streams that performed well were all first-order channels [originating water bodies] in the top of the watershed,” Filoso said. “The location of the stream in the watershed seemed to be relevant to performance.” Research has also found that the more impervious the watershed, the less pollution reduction there was. “In some cases, there was actually an increase in pollutant loads,” Filoso noted. While pollution reduction is a main focus of stream restoration, the scientist said, until recently, research funding hasn’t been available to study how much impact restoration is having on the overall biological health of stream ecosystems. Scientists are still determining which methods and designs do benefit wildlife the most. “Are fish populations coming back with restoration?” Filoso questions. “Is the diversity of the fish population better?” From the research Filoso presented, one type of stream restoration method she has studied most intensively—regenerative stream conveyance, which involves an open-water channel flowing over a series of shallows pools—leads to lower dissolved oxygen levels in the water, generally not a sign of a healthy stream. But other restoration designs don’t suffer from this problem. Filoso noted that while pollution in the Bay has been reduced in recent years, the sources of that pollution remain problematic and may not be being adequately addressed. “It’s very important that we monitor changes for a long time, Filoso said. “I think a lot of governments do stream restoration in hopes they won’t have to do anything else. Stream restoration is helping the Bay, but not necessarily the streams. We need to pay more attention to streams and trade-offs.”

Region to Recognize Black Wall Street Day

935 West Street • 410-295-1234 AnnapolisHyundai.com Hyundai is Gill Sans Bold

BY KATHY KNOTTS

he City of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County will memorialize the 1921 Tulsa race riot as Black Wall Street Day, May 30. From noon to 5pm, an event will be held at the People’s Park in Annapolis to acknowledge the 100th anniversary of the Greenwood massacre in Tulsa, Okla. In the early 1900s, Tulsa’s Greenwood District was known as Black Wall Street, one of the most successful, established, and wealthiest Black business districts in the nation. The massacre, carried out by mobs of white residents on the ground and from private aircraft, destroyed more than 35 square blocks of the district. More than 800 people were admitted to hospitals. As many as 6,000 Black residents were interned for several days while more than three dozen were confirmed dead (26 Black and 13 white). Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley and Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman will speak at the event, as well as local community leaders about the importance of community healing and restorative justice. The event will feature several local Black-owned businesses in Annapolis and Anne Arundel County, as well as local artists and musicians. “The 100th anniversary of the Greenwood massacre is a moment for all of us to recognize the collective trauma caused by our nation’s history of racial violence,” said Pittman. “We must use this moment as a way to uplift the work of community healing and restorative justice, to address past trauma and build a more equitable future.” “I look forward to working with community leaders and groups to create a path forward to address the local and national history of racial violence and institutional racism,” said Mayor Gavin Buckley. “It is crucial that we show how restorative justice practices, like this event, not only raise awareness to national tragedies like the Tulsa race riot, but that they also create a space to heal.”

f, like others across the country, the pandemic kept you out of your usual gym, yoga studio, lap pool, or sports league, you probably had to get creative with your fitness routine.

Some folks ponied up thousands for Pelotons and others adapted to all-weather power walking, hiking or running in the great outdoors. One activity that has experienced a surprising surge in popularity throughout the country was mountain biking. Cycling market research company NDP Group reported that nationwide sales of front-suspension mountain bikes were up more than 150 percent in April 2020 compared to April 2019, proving early-pandemic growth.

The uptick was obvious in trail meccas like Denver, upstate New York, and California. But even here in the relatively flat Bay region, I saw a steady flow of bike-topped cars headed for the hills every weekend with my own eyes. Local bike shops experienced an unprecedented demand for bikes and had trouble keeping them stocked. And the boom hasn’t stopped. “Trail use overall increased greatly during the pandemic,” says Dave Magill, Maryland Advocacy Director

of Mid-Atlantic Off Road Enthusiasts (MORE). “National and regional numbers suggest increases of 30 percent or more, and this applies to mountain bikes as well. We’ve seen it in crowded trailhead parking lots, greater turnout for the beginner rides that we host, and increasing numbers of people becoming MORE members. And in many bicycle shops being sold out of bikes.” “The bike industry as a whole has experienced a huge increase in demand,” a manager at Bike Doctor Annapolis confirmed. “It started with kids bikes when the schools shut down, and demand for adult bikes quickly followed when parents decided they wanted to join them. Then, after ‘cabin fever’

seemed to set in, things really took off.” Many bike shops struggled to meet the demand. “We saw a huge increase in business due to COVID travel restrictions and the fact that trails were one of the few places where people could get out and enjoy themselves,” said TrailWerks Cyclery manager MK. “However, we’ve also experienced major supply chain disruptions, with sourcing products and parts often very difficult due to production and shipping delays, as well as shortages in raw materials.” Annapolis Velo’s Chris Adair sees the good and the bad. “The positive rests in the fact that the pandemic definitely increased

the interest in riding bikes, both road and mountain, with the most growth coming from first-time bike riders and amongst people looking for a new avenue for exercise. But it also introduced the setback of shortages ... Since the summer of 2020 our shop, as well as most in Annapolis and across the U.S., have not had a stable inventory even now, roughly a year later.”

MUCH MORE THAN EXERCISE “With the closure of gyms and the decrease of cars on the roads, biking became an attractive way to release pent-up quarantined energy, get outdoors, and get some exercise in a way that is fun, challenging, and healthy,” says Nick Wigston, general manager at custom mountain bike seller Zinn Cycles. “What makes mountain biking a unique form of exercise is that while it works every major muscle group, it’s low impact and easier on your joints. Also, since it involves some quick decision making and navigating of obstacles, you can increase your reflex skills, stamina, and brainpower, all while enjoying the natural endorphin boost, mood enhancing, and fitness benefits.” Taking a bike to the trails is not what you see on TV, says outdoor adventure guide Chris Emery. “You don’t have to careen down rocky trails or hit jumps, as most mountain bikers actually stay on tame trails that are less risky than riding on a city street, plus biking puts less wear and tear on your joints than running and walking. Mountain bikes were a great choice during the pandemic because many trails are off the beaten path, meaning you’ll encounter fewer people than, say, when riding along a beach boardwalk or some other paved bike lane, and when you’re in a nature reserve or open space park you have a lot more choices for places to stop where you’re away from other people.”

CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE Every rider likes something different when it comes to choosing a trail. Most, though, are looking for something different than the flat, paved straightaways of the roads. “It’s a spectrum, but I would say that there are two broad categories of trails: flowy and smooth, or rocky and technically challenging,” said Magill. “Although media focuses on the more challenging side of mountain biking, many people enjoy smooth trails like the ones that we can create in our area on the clay and sandy soils.” MORE Vice President David Beugelmans agreed, noting that “mountain biking has expanded from a hardcore niche activity to something that entire families enjoy due to the diversity in both the type and length of trails.” Indeed, local enthusiasts I spoke to embrace a variety of trails. Patrick Emerson says that for him “hills are a must, but I also prefer a smoother trail that I can get some speed on,” whereas Michelle Hornfeck reported that “sometimes I want fast and flowy, sometimes I want rocky and rooty and challenging.” You can find a bit of both at two spots in Anne Arundel County: Waterworks Park and Bacon Ridge Natural Area.

DESTINATION TRAILS “When I started looking for good places to go mountain biking in the area, Waterworks and Bacon Ridge were the clear hot spots,” said Damian DeVille, a rider from Severna Park who recently returned to the sport after several years. “At Waterworks, I really like the ‘flow’ of the trail. It follows the contours of the land and lets you go fast but also keeps you on your toes. Honestly, it makes me feel like I’m riding a speeder bike from Star Wars.” This contour-following flow was ex-

Michelle Hornfeck and Mike Hornfeck, her brother. actly what MORE and its partners, including TrailWerks, were going for when they first began building the park’s single-track trails many years ago. “What may be surprising is the sustainable trail techniques MORE uses to build trails also make for a fun mountain biking experience,” said Beugelmans. “When you walk or ride the trails at Bacon Ridge and Water-

works, you’ll notice that the trails are constantly changing directions and grades as they follow the natural contours of the hillside. There’s a science behind this, with the primary intent to control water flow and prevent erosion. At the same time, these design techniques also make for a challenging and fun riding experience because the trail is constantly changing directions and grades, so it’s a win-win.” “The trail design and build teams at Waterworks and Bacon Ridge got so many things right,” echoed Magill. “Due to the sandy soils the land has many ups and downs, as well as short steep turns and gullies, and the trails follow these features beautifully. The trails climb and descend hills at good angles, using sustainable design techniques that get water off the trails quickly to prevent erosion, and this makes the flow of the trails very interesting. There are virtually no straight lines throughout the entire trail system, meaning that you can have a very satisfying and fun outing regardless of how long you want it to be.” MORE designed Waterworks and Bacon Ridge as ‘stacked loop’ trail systems, meaning the trails are organized into smaller loops with connector trails between them. This allows beginners to only ride (or hike) a short distance CONTINUED O

TRAIL ACCESS POINTS The Waterworks trailhead is located on Housley Road, near Stone Point Apartments, where MORE recently installed a sign displaying realtime trail conditions as well as a complimentary maintenance kit and tire pump. Bacon Ridge has two trailheads: in the South, at 1801 Hawkins Road, Annapolis, and in the North, at 1399-1243 Bacon Ridge Road, Crownsville.

by using only one loop, while more advanced riders can combine multiple loops for a longer ride. “This has created a critical mass of trails that have made the region a true riding destination,” says Beugelmans. “In fact, if you combine all of Bacon Ridge and Waterworks into one ride it becomes an epic 33-mile adventure.” While you can expect a similar ride through heavily-wooded landscapes on trails next to steep ledges at either

park, they each offer some unique sights to see. Among them are three fresh water fishing ponds and a large field filled with 55,000 solar panels at Waterworks, which also has a few bridge crossings, and a graveyard of old cars at Bacon Ridge. In the future, Magill envisions a 40-mile-plus, fully interconnected trail system and an “annual epic ride event” that will allow hundreds of riders to ride the entire trail system and “experience the best of all Anne Arundel County trails in a single day.” MORE just awarded the City of Annapolis the Land Manger of the Year

award earlier this year for allowing volunteers at Waterworks Park to create miles of hiking and biking trails. And Beugelmans says MORE has many more miles planned. “After about a decade of advocacy we’ve been able to create roughly 14 miles of trails at Bacon Ridge and, after the City of Annapolis offered us the opportunity to recreate our success at Waterworks three years ago, about 13 miles were all designed and built by volunteers from the local community at no cost to the city or county,” said Beugelmans. “We are planning to build additional trails at Bacon Ridge,

explore possibilities to remediate and reroute severely eroded trails in Truxton Park, and ramp up efforts for better connectivity of trails both with each other and population centers by creating off-road connections between trail systems. There’s no reason why county residents should be required to travel to neighboring counties or states for a quality riding (or hiking) experience.” The riders I spoke to, each with varying amounts of experience, have embraced this pandemic sport in their own backyards. “Like many people I first got into biking during the lockdowns,” said Emerson, who began both road biking and mountain biking early in the pandemic. “It’s a great outdoor workout, as I found that the speed and distance covered on a bike made it far more enjoyable than jogging. Plus, mountain biking provides an entirely different type of workout than road biking thanks to the hills and turns, so it really gets my adrenaline running.” Hornfeck enjoys seeing the growing ranks of female riders. “I’ve always been drawn to the woods, challenges, and being active, so my love for mountain biking just clicked naturally,” she said. “I’ve biked more than ever during the last year, though, and I feel like the biking community is now bigger than ever—and I love that I’ve been seeing more and more women out there, too.” Beugelmans says local mountain bikers are an inclusive community who appreciate and enjoy nature. And now, there are more miles of trail than ever for them to enjoy. “We may not have big mountains in Anne Arundel County, but we do have interesting topography, natural beauty, and an amazing community of volunteers. We are very excited for the future of natural surface, sustainable, multi-use trails in Anne Arundel County and Annapolis.” p

CREATURE FEATURE

STORY AND PHOTOS BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

A Really Strange Woodpecker

recently met a very bizarre bird from the opposite coast. Both my wife and I have been vaccinated for COVID-19 and felt it was safe enough to see our two far-flung children. We wore our masks, glasses and were very careful around others, but still the jet felt like a sardine can. Everyone on the jet complied with masking and no one appeared ill. I was still anxious. The places we stayed in were very cautious. My daughter, Kate, is in Colorado and my son, Matt, is in central California. In visiting California, we stayed near Mill Valley and from there visited Mount Tamalpais State Park. The state park had several habitats, from redwoods at its base to thick poison oak hillsides. About halfway up the mountain was an area with large live oak trees. The area is notable for the 1933 Civilian Conservation Corps-built Cushing Memorial Amphitheatre. While walking around near the amphitheater, I heard obvious woodpecker calls and sounds. My son called out and pointed up to a bare oak branch. There was an unusual-

ly marked colorful woodpecker. Four more of the birds later showed and were loudly complaining around two trees that were riddled with dimesized holes. In looking closely at the holes, most were plugged with a shiny acorn. I opened my Merlin Bird ID app and verified that these were acorn woodpeckers. They are described as having a clownish face but the birds are also known by their strange behavior. They live in large groups that collectively perform food collection and storage, rearing of young, territory defense, and even breeding. Yes, they have collective mating. These woodpeckers actively maintain and move their stash of acorns to smaller holes when the acorns dry out and shrink, making them loose in their holes. The birds are actually omnivores and will eat a variety of seeds, insects, arachnids, small reptiles, eggs, nectar, sap, and flowers. Like typical woodpeckers, they use tree cavities to rest in and to nest. Unlike other woodpeckers, multiple female acorn woodpeckers will lay eggs in one cavi-

ty and cooperatively tend to them. All the adults in the group will raise the little ones together. Acorn woodpeckers live on the West Coast from Oregon to Central America and are tolerant of living near people. Because of their cooperative living, they have been extensively studied. Too bad I had to go all the way to California to see them.

CICADA REPORT: I recently heard an interview on NPR with an entomologist and found out that only the male cicadas sing and they have three songs. The first is a group droning song to attract females into the cluster. Next, a rhythmic beat begins when a female is nearby. Finally, the males switch to a slower beat and change pitches with mating.

GARDENING FOR HEALTH

Create a fairy house for your garden this summer.

STORY AND PHOTO BY MARIA PRICE

Summer Fun with Fairies

n our tech-filled society, combining nature and imagination is needed by all of us. Why nature is now even being referred to as “vitamin N”! In my 40 years in the nursery business, I sadly have frequently found people that don’t know how a seed is formed. So, it’s important to take time to explore nature. If you have young children or you are just young-at-heart, use your summer outdoors to construct a fairy house or village. You can buy all sorts of premade fairy things these days but it’s more fun to go into your garden or woods and find things that you can fashion into a fairy house to please the pickiest fairy. Children readily believe in fairies and even as careworn adults, a part of us still enjoys imagining that maybe, just maybe, the woods and the fields may harbor these earth spirits. Woods and meadows are alive, teaming with scampering, jumping, flying creatures, that shy away or hide when a human approaches. It almost seems like there is truly a secret world separate from our own out in the meadows or deep in the woods. The concept of fairies must have sprung from the experience of sensing all these little

beings who dance and flutter and dart just past our range of vision. Fairies naturally became the folk tale embodiment of all the buzzing, fluttering, and winging goings-on in nature. When we walk in the woods and meadows, it sometimes seems that myriad little beings are hiding in lairs, nests, and burrows, watching us as we pass by. Why else would fairy stories and folklore be common to all continents and people? Almost every part of the world has stories about magical and whimsical creatures. For Europeans, fairy stories seem most associated with Ireland, Britain, and Germany. Fairies, like humans, create shelters and gather food for themselves.

You can entice them into your garden by building them a fairy house. You can find hollowed-out stumps where

pieces of bark can be glued together with outdoor caulking. Sticks can be fashioned into furniture with waterproof glue. Moss makes a nice carpet. Acorn caps make great bowls. Dollhouse accessories, such as windows and doors make a fairy house extra enticing. Pinecone petals can be used as roof shingles and tiny stones make for a good foundation. Fairies are known for their love of making merry, singing, and dancing by the light of the moon or fairy bonfires. Some fairies live in flowers, trees, woodlands, and waysides. It’s said that they dress in the petals of the plants they represent, which makes them harder to see. Did you hear a “whoosh” by your ear? Could it have been a fairy? Once you get a child’s imagination going, you will both enjoy creating a fairy world together this summer. p

SPORTING LIFE

The rockfish bite was on fire last week until it wasn’t. The last few days were dead, dead, dead for most anglers. The FISHFINDER culprit is rumored to be the dreaded May worm. A small cousin to the bloodworm, the little devils live down in the shell-strewn floor of the Bay, swell and metamorphose into a multi-legged red beastie and rise this time of year, wriggling en masse in a dance of reproduction. All fish love them and swim through the entranced clouds of worms, engorging themselves to the point of bursting. There’s no need for them to even look at an angler’s offering—and they don’t. It will, however, be over soon and our rockfish and white perch, spot and croaker will go back to being seduced by anglers. Hang in there as crabbing is starting up and the males are finally digging out of the mud and looking for sustenance. Summertime is the best.

The Set Up Summer is a great time to take your moviegoing outside. All you really need is a sheet or white wall and a cheap projector from Amazon and you’ve got yourself an al fresco theater. Gather a few lawn chairs or some picnic blankets, set out your favorite speakers, and don’t forget the bug spray. Feeling really adventurous? Watch a summer blockbuster like Jaws while lounging in a pool. Don’t have a pool? A kiddie pool is plenty large enough so that you can splash your fellow moviegoers during the scary parts. If you’re not the type that enjoys humidity and cicadas, consider moving the party inside, settling on some comfy chairs and making snacks. The Snacks Thematically, the best snack to have if you’re screening Cruella would have to be s’mores. Roast your marshmallows while Cruella roasts Emma Thompson’s evil Baroness character. You’ll end up with a gooey treat that matches Cruella’s aesthetic. If you want to be a little more punk rock about your snack food of choice,

consider trying The Washington Post’s recipe for spicy cicada popcorn. It’s environmentally friendly and a sustainable treat that’s enjoyed in many cultures. Not a fan of insects or marshmallows? A bag of microwave popcorn is a classic for a reason. Put some chocolate chips in there for a sweet treat that creates Dalmatian spots! The Movie One of the better live action films produced by Disney (let’s try to forget about Dumbo), Cruella is a punk rock caper film that’s hampered by its source material. The film follows Estella (Emma Stone: The Croods: A New Age), who tries to break into the fashion industry in 1970s London. After losing her mother at a tender age, Estella finds herself alone in London with nothing but dreams. She hooks up with a few other orphan children to create a pint-sized crime syndicate. Though she’s happy, when she has a chance to make her fashion dreams come true, she leaps at the opportunity. Working for the cruel Baroness (Thompson), Estella learns that the real criminals of the world might not be the petty thieves, but the rich and powerful. To triumph over the Baroness, Estella will have to make a new name for herself and break a few rules. Cruella has a killer soundtrack and a lot of style. Director Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya) fills the movie with lots of flash, loud music, and sepia-toned antics. The film is extremely reminiscent of early Guy Ritchie—think Snatch and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels with Mickey ears glued on it. It’s ironic that Gillespie made a Ritchie film, since Ritchie himself was such a poor fit for the

live-action Aladdin. The film itself stumbles trying to make Cruella a prequel to 101 Dalmatians. It works best when it’s using a great deal of its plot and characterization from The Devil Wears Prada. Stone and Thompson are clearly having a ball camping it up in this fashion satire. And there are some genuinely cool looks with nods to Vivienne Westwood and the London street fashion at the time. But by bringing in characters like Roger and Anita (the protagonists of the original animated film), Cruella reminds us of the fact that eventually Stone’s girl boss character is going to attempt to skin puppies for a coat. Considering the film does everything it can to make Cruella a punky proto-feminist, including making Dalmatians attack dogs in a wildly misjudged scene, this adherence to the original film is a terrible idea. This is also a film for older kids; snarling Dalmatians and lots of loud, dark imagery might be too much for little ones. Still, when Cruella isn’t being bogged down with Disney film history, it’s a funny, fresh film. Stone gives a great performance as a girl who embraces her bad side to get ahead. While Disney storytelling does mandate that she learn a lesson about family and being nice, it’s interesting to note that her character basically gets away with all her bad behavior with only a perfunctory apology. Though the film is certainly more style than substance, winning performances and a soundtrack that can’t be beat make this a worthy investment in summer fun. It may not teach kids to be nice, but Cruella will teach them how to make a splash and be fiercely original. Just don’t leave them alone with the dogs after seeing this movie. Good Dramedy * PG-13 * 134 mins.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

BY THE EDITORS AT ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION The Entrepreneurial Spirit

When Damien Desrocher, 28, decided to “return to nature” in December, it meant leaving his job as an air force computer technician and moving to the northern French town of Wahagnies, where he started raising snails. But they’re not for eating, Reuters reported. Desrocher harvests “slime” from the snails and uses it to make bars of soap. A single snail will yield about 2 grams of slime. Desrocher needs about 80 grams of slime to make 15 100-gram soap bars. “It’s all in the dexterity of how you tickle,” he said as he demonstrated the harvesting technique. “I only touch it with my finger, you see it’s not violent, it’s simple.” Desrocher said snail mucus contains molecules of collagen and elastin, which have anti-aging and skin-healing properties.

Silent But Deadly

In North Carolina, large stands of wetland forests along the coast have died, giving the areas an apocalyptic appearance, CNET reported. Salt water from rising seas and storm surges is causing the destruction of tens of thousands of acres. Researchers at North Carolina State University are studying the “ghost forests” to measure their environmental impact, which includes emitting greenhouse gases—carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide— that they call “tree farts.” Graduate student Melinda Martinez acknowledged that the trees don’t emit as much as the soils, but, she said, “Even the smallest fart counts.”

Put a Ring on It

Avid snorkeler Susan Prior of Norfolk Island, Australia, often sees small mullet fish with rings around their middles—usually plastic rings from juice and milk bottles, she said, according to the New York Post. “Mullet snuffle through the sand looking for food, making it so easy for a ring or a hair tie to flip over their noses and get stuck,” she wrote in a blog post. But in early May, Prior, who also takes underwater photos, captured a snap of a mullet fish sporting a gold wedding band. Prior remembered that she had seen a social media post about a lost wedding ring in the bay, but she couldn’t catch up to the fish to retrieve the item. She did, however, remind others to snip any plastic rings before putting them in the trash so that the fish aren’t “slowly strangled.”

No Good Deed

After Bryan Thayer, 34, finished up at his bar and grill in Metairie, Louisiana, on May 8, he stopped off at the City Bar, where he and a friend bought a drink for another patron, Andrew Nierman, 32. The first drink they bought spilled on Nierman, so they furnished him with a replacement. But Nierman evidently wasn’t satisfied with that. “He grabbed my head and (bit) a chunk out of my nose,” Thayer told The Times-Picayune, then ran out and jumped in a car. Thayer, who was holding his nose together, and other witnesses ran outside and flagged down a deputy, who stopped Nierman. He admitted to biting Thayer but said he’d been “accosted” by him. Doctors patched up Thayer’s nose, but he said his injuries will preclude him from working at his own bar for a time.

Oops

Three neighbors of Cara Louise, 28, of Bedfordshire, England, became alarmed on May 12 when they noticed what appeared to be a corpse wrapped in trash bags and duct tape lying in Louise’s yard. While Louise was picking up her 5-year-old from school, seven police officers descended on her home. When she returned, she provided an explanation: “The prop in the garden was part of our theme” for Halloween, she said, but she had neglected to dispose of the fake corpse after the autumn holiday. “He” was kept behind her trash bins, but she moved him as she worked in the yard and forgot to put him away. “I have a tip for all parents who go allout at Halloween like myself—dispose of props or put them away safely,” Louise told the Daily Mail. Laughing with officers, she wondered who might have such short legs, and an officer responded, “You might have cut them.” “I was so embarrassed I couldn’t believe people thought I was capable of it,” she said.

Bright Idea

Ever stepped off a curb unexpectedly or run into a pole while looking down at your phone? Minwook Paeng, an industrial design student at London’s Royal College of Art and Imperial College, has invented a device that will alert you to obstacles in your path: the Third Eye. A small translucent case shaped something like an eye affixes to the forehead with a thin gel pad, DeZeen reported, and “the black component that looks like a pupil is an ultrasonic sensor for sensing distance,” Paeng explained. When the gyroscope senses the head angled downward, the plastic “eyelid” opens and warns the wearer of obstacles in their path with a buzzer. Paeng believes humans are evolving into “phono sapiens,” developing “turtle neck syndrome” and a curved pinky finger from holding our phones. “I hope that the act of ironically pointing out what we are doing with our smartphones can help people take time for self-reflection,” Paeng mused.

the body was laying exactly where my fan is underneath,” Cardenas said. “He had carpet but the blood seeped through to my ceiling.” Police said the man had died of natural causes and had been deceased for five to six days. Cardenas stayed at a hotel for a few nights but now has to replace her damaged belongings. She said she was traumatized by the incident: “It was awful, an awful impact.”

Awesome!

On May 11, police in South Euclid, Ohio, responded to the Walmart store there after a confrontation between Maneka Garner, 25, and Precious Jackson, 36. The two women, who once lived in the same duplex, apparently have been feuding for some time, as Jackson had previously taken out a protection order against Garner. When they met in the potato chip aisle of the Walmart, The Smoking Gun reported, Garner pulled down Jackson’s mask and tried to spit on her, then reached into Jackson’s cart and picked up a 10-pound log of ground beef, which she used to strike Jackson “a couple of times in the face,” police said. In their report, they identified the meat as a “blunt object.” Police said Garner has a history of violent behavior; she pleaded not guilty to assault and violating a temporary protective order. p Send your weird news items with subject line WEIRD NEWS to WeirdNewsTips@amuniversal.com.

Sorry, Josh, but you’ve missed your chance to become the ultimate Josh— that distinction has gone to 4-yearold Josh Vinson Jr., who won a paper Burger King crown, a champion’s belt and a tiny trophy at the #JoshFight in Lincoln, Nebraska, on April 24. Josh Swain, 22, a student from Tucson, Arizona, conceived the viral event, which started with an epic Rock Paper Scissors battle and included pool noodles. Swain was apparently unprepared for the turnout: “I did not expect people to be as adamant about this as they are right now,” he told KLKN-TV. Participants and spectators brought food items to donate to the Lincoln Food Bank.

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.
