These Are the People in Your Neighborhood

I

was a Sesame Street kid. Like so many toddlers over the past 51 years (yes, 51!) I was put in front of the TV daily with my blankie and a sippy cup of milk to watch Sesame Street. I learned my ABCs and 123s from brightly-colored Muppets who sing and dance.

Over its five decades, the longest-running children’s TV show has produced dozens of renditions of one particular musical number: the song “The People in Your Neighborhood.” It asks, Who are the people in your neighborhood/ The people that you meet each day? and introduces kids to community workers ranging from the aspirational (firefighter, doctor, pilot) to the sometimes overlooked (crossing guard, window washer, exterminator).

As we put together this issue of CBM Bay Weekly, I found that catchy tune

running through my head. (If you’d like to reminisce, the original performance from 1969 and several more versions are posted on YouTube.) This week’s paper spotlights many of the “people in your neighborhood” of Chesapeake Country—from outright life-saving heroes to folks who quietly do the jobs that afford us a good quality of life.

Recently a reader reached out to us to tell us about his community’s plan to celebrate National Garbage Man Appreciation Day. Never heard of it? The concept is simple, but rarely executed.

How often do you see a neighborhood invite their trash collectors to a pizza party? When did you last engage your own trash collector in conversation, or ask about his or her job? We’re proud to report from Edgewater on a group

problems that should have been solved long ago like the constant arrests of out of state anglers caught with hundreds of illegal striped bass. They’ve been doing this easily for the last decade and it hasn’t abated, even with regular apprehensions. Really? No ideas on how to stop this constant theft of public resources?

he jaw-dropping story spread quickly through the Bay region: a large alligator reportedly caught between two beaches along the Chesapeake in Calvert County on Sunday.

Now, hunter William Adams is revealing to Bay Bulletin how he caught and killed the gator with his 14-year-old son by his side. Williams and his son Jake had spotted an alligator a couple of weeks earlier, while kayak fishing for snakeheads between Seahorse Beach and Driftwood Beach in Lusby, just north of Drum Point.

In a Facebook post, William’s wife Jessica Adams writes, “His first reaction was to kayak away as fast as possible all while yelling to my son, ‘It’s an alligator! Go!’” Adams and his friends had gone back to look for the gator without success. Then, she recounts, “My son and him went out on Father’s Day, prepared this time, and they got him.”

“Prepared” is right: Adams says he researched trapping alligators, even getting tips from the History Channel. He de-

scribes using heavy-duty rope tied to a tree, with a chicken on a hook attached to the other end. He set the chicken about a foot from the water. The trap is designed to hook a gator as soon as it tried to swallow the chicken, and when the reptile tries to swim away, it’s secured to the tree.

Apparently, the strategy worked on Saturday.

“I got my line set and all that stuff and then I went back there Saturday afternoon, like right at the edge of dark and put the lines out, because alligators eat at nighttime.,” says Adams. “So I set lines in the tree and everything. And then Sunday morning first thing when I got up I went right there to get it and it was on one of those chicken lines.”

Adams says the gator snapped at him a few times before he was able to get a clear shot with his crossbow, killing the American alligator, which he measured with his tape measure at 7'6". The species is not native to the Chesapeake Bay region, and according to the National Wildlife Federation, its range goes no further north than North Carolina.

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is not directly confirming the catch. In a statement to Bay Bulletin, DNR spokesman Gregg Bortz says, “Maryland Natural Resources Police are still consulting with allied agencies, local and federal, on this matter.”

Adams tells Bay Bulletin he called DNR after capturing and killing the gator, asking if he was “in trouble”. He claims the

agency was more concerned about how the nearly 8-foot animal got there.

The American alligator is protected under federal law, but individual states have regulated hunting seasons with specific guidelines and required permits, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Brenden Bosmans, Director of the Maryland Reptile Conservation Cen-

William Adams tells us the alligator is in their freezer, and they cooked gator bites for dinner, tossed in flour and Old Bay. And yes, he says they do taste like chicken. ter, says he looks forward to hearing the results of any investigation by Natural Resources Police and their partner agencies.

Bosmans tells Bay Bulletin, “This situation absolutely could have been handled in a way that would not have resulted in the death of the animal.”

But Adams feels he did what he had to do. “If I knew the alligator was in there and I find out some little kid got

hurt by it, then that would bother me for the rest of my life.”

Responding to criticism over her husband’s killing of the alligator, Jessica Adams says, “He did what he thought was best and he has no regrets.” Adams says children and pets frequently play on the beaches where the alligator was found. “My husband is not just a mean animal-hating man, he hunts, he fishes and he eats everything that he hunts for.”

William Adams tells us the alligator is in their freezer, and they cooked gator bites for dinner, tossed in flour and Old Bay. And yes, he says they do taste like chicken.

Bortz says it’s not the first time residents have reported alligator sightings nearby. “There have been occasional rumors of alligators in the Calvert County area previously but none could be confirmed by DNR.” Have alligators ever turned up on the Chesapeake Bay before? The most notable precedent for this case was in 2015, when a five-foot-long alligator was found dead on protected land. The Susquehannock Wildlife Society said at the time that it was likely an exotic pet released when its owners could no longer care for it.

“We have had alligators or other non-native crocodilians show up in the wild in Maryland in the past. Occasionally people who have illegally kept pet alligators release them into the wild,” Bortz says.

Bay Bulletin will stay on this case and report any updates when they’re available.

RIVER BACTERIA LEVELS PROMPT RECENT SWIM WARNINGS Here’s how to check before you swim

t’s officially summer, and in the Chesapeake region that means swimming off the boat, water sports, and even splashing at a community beach. But do you ever stop to check the water quality of the waterway you’re jumping into? Time it wrong, and you could be exposing yourself and your family to harmful bacteria.

But environmentalists up and down the Bay are making it easier than ever to get frequent water quality updates—through apps, social media, and interactive web maps. It pays to check before diving in.

On a recent Friday at the Lindamoor Community Pier near the Severn River Bridge, the weather was beautiful.

And though it was tempting, it wasn’t safe for pets or people to take a dip.

The Severn River Association recently flagged Lindamoor as a problem spot for high fecal bacteria.

Douglas Kearney, a Lindamoor resident, has been tracking the numbers for years. “2016 and 2017 the numbers were fairly bad, specifically at the community pier, not so much at my pier. Actually, the numbers have gotten progressively worse.”

Dr. Tammy Domanski, director of the Environmental Center at Anne Arundel Community College and Operation Clearwater, and her team do weekly tests of our local waterways. They test on Wednesdays and make the information available on Thursdays, ahead of the weekend.

As to why Lindamoor’s numbers have been so high, Kearney says, “All we have really is anecdotal evidence that there is a correlation between stormwater runoff and increasing numbers as it relates to that.”

When it rains, the advice among several water monitoring organizations on the Bay is to avoid direct contact with the water for at least a day.

“You want to avoid or limit water contact for at least 24–48 hours after we receive an inch of rainfall or more because bacteria levels are going to rise,” says Zack Kelleher, the Sassafras Riverkeeper with the ShoreRivers organization.

A new ShoreRivers program recruits volunteers to collect the samples that are

“Avoid or limit water contact for at least 24–48 hours after an inch of rainfall or more because bacteria levels are going to rise.”

—ZACK KELLEHER, SASSAFRAS RIVERKEEPER WITH THE SHORERIVERS ORGANIZATION used to monitor bacteria in the water.

Kelleher showed Bay Bulletin how they mix the sample water and pour it into trays to incubate for 24 hours, then place them under a black light.

“When the bacteria is feeding on the powder that I put into it, it gives off an ultraviolet signature,” he explains.

“It really boils down to the question, is there fecal matter in the water?”

Domanski says you have to make a decision about your own risk tolerance.

“There’s a difference between going kayaking and having some contact with the water vs. going swimming for the whole day and spending a lot of time in the water or having your pets spend a lot of time in the water.”

She wants everyone to keep in mind, it’s not raw sewage, exactly—it dissolves and spreads out.

You can check the bacteria samples at beaches near you, every week through the summer from Memorial Day to Labor Day: https://sites.google.com/ view/aaccecoperationclearwater.

OC BRIDGE RESCUE HERO FLIES WITH THUNDERBIRDS

BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

T

he good Samaritan who rescued a toddler from Assawoman Bay last month has received the honor of a lifetime for his bravery: he was invited to fly with the Air Force Thunderbirds flight demonstration squad.

In early May, a five-car pileup on the Route 90 bridge in Ocean City left a pickup truck dangling over the guardrail. An 18-month-old child, who was in her car seat, plunged into the water below. Jonathan Bauer, a bystander, jumped 25 feet off the bridge without hesitation to save the toddler.

After Bauer pulled the little girl from the water, a nearby boat steered to the scene and took both of them aboard. The toddler was flown by Maryland State Police helicopter to Johns Hopkin’s Children’s Hospital in Baltimore in stable condition and was later released. When Bay Bulletin first reported the story, Bauer wished to remain anonymous.

Now, Bauer is getting recognition from the Air Force, chosen as the Thunderbirds’ Hometown Hero ahead of the OC Air Show this past weekend. On Friday Bauer took a 45-minute flight in an F-16C Fighting Falcon, taking off from NASA Wallops Island.

In a Facebook post showing Bauer’s special flight (complete with his name

in script on the fighter jet), the Air Force Thunderbirds wrote, “His selfless act shows the best America has to offer, and we’re proud to have honored him with a flight today.”

The Thunderbirds would go on to perform over the beach in Ocean City on Saturday and Sunday, serving as the main attraction at the OC Air Show. The show featured the Geico Skytypers, vintage and stunt planes, and rescue demonstrations by a U.S. Coast Guard aircrew for a packed beach and boat crowd.

Environmental Internships Help Underserved Students

Cleaning Up for Chesapeake Country

BY MATT LIPTAK

A

n essential job that sometimes goes unappreciated was recognized last week on the Mayo peninsula. What was previously known as National Garbage Man Appreciation Day, now called Waste & Recycling Workers Week, is a time for American communities to stop and recognize some of the unsung heroes of their neighborhoods—waste collection workers. The residents of Mayo showed their appreciation by providing Pizza Bolis pizza, paid for by two anonymous donors, to some of the Gunther Refuse Service crews that work the area.

“It’s these guys,” said Bob Hay, who drives Truck 75. “These guys on the trucks—how they do it all day long I have no idea. They knock it out. That’s what gets it done—those guys.”

Working through the pandemic was especially challenging this past year for the company’s employees. Their days got about two hours longer on average because of a surplus of trash, perhaps from people staying at home. And there has been a manpower shortage in the industry, Hay said.

“This last year it’s been really heavy,” says driver Rebekah Chandler of Laurel. “We have a lot of hard workers.”

Gunther employs about 90 workers on 30 trucks with three-member crews. They start at 6 a.m. and finish between 1 and 3 p.m. Over the course of four days, Hay’s crew collects trash for about 11,000 homes, in Mayo, Edgewater and Riva.

Waste collection is a community effort, but often a quiet relationship between residents and those who serve them. Getting the job done as seamlessly as possible requires effort from both parties.

Chandler said many residents on her route are appreciative of Gunther’s workers. “I like the driving, and I like a lot of the patrons we serve,” she said.

“We have a lot of good patrons down here and they take care of us. When I’m missing, they ask where I am.”

The day the pizzas were handed out had been a particularly hot one. Much of this season has already been sweltering for workers. “It was hot and heavy,” collector Wesley Hill said. “Usually down here it’s always heavy. It’s pretty steady. We get a lot of trash—couches, furniture.”

His fellow collector, Paris Ford, added that there are physical challenges to the job. “It’s not easy,” he said. “They overflow the trash cans.”

Hay stressed that it makes the job of waste collection easier on employees when residents tie up their garbage bags and secure the lids of garbage cans and bins.

Some residents will give workers drinks or snacks during their routes.

It’s a welcome gesture since collectors like Hill and Ford use up a lot of calories just in their first hours of the day.

They often fill the 16-ton trucks to capacity—all through hard labor.

What’s their secret? Hill, a former high school athlete explained. “I just built my stamina up and my endurance,” he said. “It’s more mental than strength.”

Waste collection is a fundamental service necessary for all communities, says Hay. Folks like Paris, Wesley, Hay and Chandler are essential, not just during pandemics, but every day, every year.

Mayo residents wanted to make show these men and women are appreciated every time they haul away their weekly waste.

“The community down here wanted to reach out and recognize that day,” Hay said. “With the heavy volume increase from COVID-19 we saw a lot of people with signs thanking us for what we do.”

nderrepresented college students are getting help landing leadership positions in environmental research and management through an innovative program this summer.

The C-StREAM program at the Chesapeake Research Consortium in Edgewater focuses on recruiting, advising and mentoring college students from populations who have been historically excluded from the fields of environmental protection and restoration.

C-StREAM—which stands for Chesapeake Student Recruitment, Early Advisement and Mentoring—works closely with academic institutions and government agencies to place selected students into summer internships and to support them in their academic work.

The primary goal of the consortium is to ensure support for research of coastal issues, from rigorous investigation of water quality on land to the living resources in its aquatic ecosystems.

“To support that goal, the consortium seeks to fill the pipeline of environmental professionals,” says Randy Rowel, C-StREAM program coordinator.

The program focuses on helping students who identify as people of color and/or who are first-generation college students, including students at historically Black colleges and universities.

“The program is open to all underserved students even if they do not attend an HBCU,” Rowel says. “HBCUs play such a critical role within the communities this program is targeting, and we have a lot to learn from them about what makes them so successful in supporting students as they navigate their educational pathways. We hope to continue our relationship building and learning with HBCUs and other minority serving institutions programs so we can apply those lessons learned to our program.”

Interns work on creating databases,

Applications for C-StREAM 2021 are now closed, and intern Abril Hunter — who attends Florida State University—is hard at work, supporting the Chesapeake Bay Program’s diversity workgroup.

“The group works to incorporate equity, inclusion and justice in addition to diversity into the implementation of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement,” Rowel says. “She is tasked with conducting an inventory of the current job market to establish opportunities for careers in the environmental field and their potential growth and salaries. Abril will present findings to the partnership, funders and others involved in decision-making.”

The consortium is finding that environmental protection and restoration is popular with students—and that reaching the underserved populations is essential to resolving global issues.

“The popularity of these fields is heightened as our nation seeks to collectively address climate change and other global challenges by utilizing science and storytelling to create real behavioral change,” Rowel says. “We will not be able to achieve our goals without directly outreaching and engaging with other ethnicities and communities that generally would not be represented at the table … to solve environmental issues.”

A Class of Their Own EIGHT EAGLE SCOUTS FROM ONE TROOP GRADUATE IN A CHALLENGING YEAR B Y K AT H Y K N O T T S P H O T O S C O U R T E S Y T R O O P 8 5 3 A N D D AW N S I E B E R T

COUTS BSA TROOP 853 of West River doesn’t know if it’s a record or not, but they don’t really care.

They are proud just the same.

Eight young men in the troop, all 2021 graduates at Southern High School, earned the rank of Eagle Scout this year.

A remarkable achievement any time is made even more remarkable considering these Scouts did it during a global pandemic and at a time when even meeting with their Scout troop came with significant challenges.

Seniors Justin and Cody Tice, JP Cullember, Colby Pokorski, Caden Marshall, Nathan Sumpter, Hugh Donnelly and Kenny Ferguson reached the highest rank available to Scouts, an achievement that only 8 percent of Scouts ever accomplish. The Scouts must earn 21 merit badges, demonstrating a variety of skills, serve in a troop position and complete a service project that benefits the community somehow.

It is the culmination of a journey that began in elementary school as Cub Scouts for most of the Eagles. Three even attended daycare together.

Twins Cody and Justin Tice began as Cubs, with older brother Josh leading the charge. Josh earned his Eagle in 2019, the last time an in-person

ceremony was held by the troop. “I’m pretty proud,” Cody Tice says. “Especially since all three of us were able to complete. I’m just glad that I started something and got all the way finished with it.”

Scouting is a family affair for the Tices. Mom Deana and dad Joey were leaders within the troop while running the family farm, and staying involved with 4-H, the Future Farmers of America and the Anne Arundel County Fair.

So, it comes as little surprise that each Tice sibling spent time working on the fairgrounds as part of their service projects.

Cody constructed animal holding pens for the fair and Justin rebuilt a deck and entryway. “Our older brother, Josh, had done his project at the fair and still had things he needed help with, so I figured I’d help with that,” said Cody. “I wanted to give back to the fair ... previously people had to borrow pens so I thought it would be nice for them to have their own.”

A remarkable achievement any time is made even more remarkable considering these Scouts did it during a global pandemic and at a time when even meeting with their Scout troop came with significant challenges.

“I rebuilt the deck at the fair office,” said Justin. “I chose to do that because it needed to be replaced—a lot of fair members are older volunteers, over the age of 60 and a lot of them were having trouble getting on the deck. It was a safety hazard and I wanted to give them something nice.”

The Tice brothers admit a little sibling competition helped them cross the finish line. “It was a given,” says

Justin. “You don’t want to be the one (brother) that didn’t get an Eagle.”

Working at the same location meant being able to help each other out, too, says Cody. “I’m glad we weren’t working on projects at the same time, diverting resources. Once mine and Josh’s (projects) were finished, we could help Justin with the porch.”

support. Other Scouts are expected to lend a helping hand.

“My project, which was building wood duck nesting boxes for Patuxent River State Park, could not have been completed without the help of the entire troop,” says Colby Pokorski, “which I feel best exemplifies the bonds between Scouts and what they can do together.”

Pokorski says that while becoming an Eagle was “an arduous journey and definitely difficult,” he didn’t find it as challenging as he expected. “My feelings about becoming an Eagle Scout are mainly relief that it’s finally over, pride in my accomplishment, and gratefulness for those who helped me along the way. The members of Troop 853 have been my friends for nigh on six years, a whole one-third of my life.

I have made unforgettable memories.”

JP Cullember created swallow nesting boxes for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to install on Poplar Island. “I didn’t even know how to build one at first, so we did two prototypes in my garage and had to change them a little bit,” he says. “The hardest part was deciphering the schematics on how to build them.”

Service projects range from helping animals to helping other young people in their community. Nathan Sumpter built benches and racks for day packs at the climbing wall at West River Center. Hugh Donnelly rebuilt bridges in the Cedarhurst community of Shady Side. Kenny Ferguson built two “buddy benches” for Shady Side Elementary School.

“The benches are meant to promote inclusion” said Ferguson. “The idea is that they are long enough for multiple people, so multiple children can sit on them at one time. I thought it would be a cool idea and the school wanted benches so I thought it would make it something positive for the kids.”

For a small troop—currently 22 members—graduating a large number of Eagle Scouts is especially meaningful for Scoutmaster Ron Thompson.

“We are a small troop now, so the sucess ratio is even a greater story.

[It’s a] great cohort of boys and what an amazing story.”

For a small troop—currently 22 members—graduating a large number of Eagle Scouts is especially meaningful for Scoutmaster Ron Thompson. “This is the first time in my tenure, well over a decade now, that we have had such a high number in a short time,” he said. “We are a small troop now, so the sucess ratio is even a greater story.

[It’s a] great cohort of boys and what an amazing story.”

Annually, The Baltimore Area Council (serving Baltimore City and the five surrounding counties) sees roughly 500 young people earn the rank of Eagle Scout, says field director Brendan Canale. “These Scouts have overcome not only the difficulty of the rank advancement but all of the additional barriers to success caused by the pandemic. In 2020 our Eagle Scout Service Projects averaged 118 hours per project. These projects provide great benefit to the communities in which our Scouts live,” said Canale.

Eagle ranks must be completed by each Scout’s 18th birthday. For Donnelly, the pandemic presented a major obstacle in his timeline. “I was on track until COVID happened.”

Donnelly, like many of his classmates, was relying on finishing merit badges at summer camp. “And then the pandemic closed camp, so I had to do them all on my own.”

Troop 853 regularly meets at the West River Center, its chartering organization. Caden Marshall, who lives on the property with his family who manage the camp, picked a service project within walking distance of his home. “My project is called Eagles Rest, it is a pergola structure with an over 500-square-feet paver patio, six custom built porch swings, a campfire pit, custom concrete countertop, and a solar string light fixture.”

Marshall, who will attend St. John’s College in the fall, says he is honored

to join the ranks of Eagle Scouts. “The value of Scouting isn’t able to be determined, it changes boys into men and allows for the molding of character.”

“I don’t know that being an Eagle has changed much for me,” says Cullember. “It’s not the badge that ‘made’ me. It’s more the experiences I’ve had that did that.”

The Eagle Scout rank can be an advantage on college applications, says Pokorksi. “I plan on going to Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York. I also received a large scholarship ... There’s not definitive proof, but I believe that I got accepted and received the scholarship in large part due to the fact that I am an Eagle Scout.” Donnelly is heading to the University of New Orleans.

Even for those not going to a university, they find value in the process.

“I plan on getting an apprenticeship in electricity and I hope to take the skills I learned from constructing my Eagle project, such as carpentry and leadership, with me, along my road to eventually becoming a journeyman electrician,” says Cody Tice. Ferguson will head to North Carolina for the NASCAR Training Program. Cullember expects to enter community college in the fall.

Justin Tice plans on going to college to study IT or networking but wants to stay in touch with his troop. “I want to be an example and tell the boys who are about to Eagle or getting close in the next few years, just to give them an extra push they need ... I don’t want others to miss out on it, it’s a good accomplishment and makes you feel very proud.”

Next month, the group of eight (plus two members who earned Eagle rank in 2020, Chris Kyle and Tyler Sumpter, when ceremonies were canceled), will be honored at a group celebration in July. p

CREATURE FEATURE

STORY AND PHOTO BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

A Jewel That is More Curse Than Treasure

M

any years ago, around 1987, I bought a small wooden jewel box for my wife. I remember that it was an unusual wood but I don’t remember where it was made.

A few days after presenting it to her, my wife noticed that the box “clicked”. After several days, a tiny bit of sawdust showed up on the dresser.

I presumed that a boring beetle larva was chewing through the well-made box. The clicking stopped after the box was put in a 325-degree oven for 15 minutes.

Maybe, my wife and I stopped some foreign invading bug? Considering the emerald ash borer was discovered in the United States in 2002, I might be right.

What reminded me of “the jewel box incident” was the presence of a species of jewel beetle I found on a sidewalk

recently. Jewel beetles are shiny colorful bugs whose larvae chew tunnels through wood and the adult typically lives under loose bark.

The beetle I found was a Buprestis rufipes or the red-legged buprestis.

They are uncommon but are present throughout the eastern U.S. The larvae, called flat-head borers, eat through maple, oak, elm, beech, and blackgum. Their tunnels damage the wood and reduces the hardwood’s value. It takes the larvae several years to become adults. They are larger than most jewel beetles. The one I found was almost an inch long. The adults do not sting or bite and are impressively metallic appearing.

The beetle reminded me of the emerald ash borer and the destruction it has brought to forests throughout North America. In ten short years, the Patuxent River watershed has lost most of the swamp ash. Bare, dead trees are visible all along the river.

The emerald ash borer attacks the transport layers under the bark of trees which causes leaf die-back and

Jewel Beetle. then death of the tree. The next year, adults emerge from the dying trees and fly off to lay eggs by the thousands in the bark of the next victim.

The adult beetles are a half inch long and metallic green. Their shape is about the same as the buprestis beetle. When the tree is dying or dead,

the tracks of the beetle borers can be seen just under the bark.

To help prevent their spread, collected firewood should not be transported to other areas and if you see a beetle or their damage report it to the Maryland Department of Agriculture at (410) 841-5920. p

GARDENING FOR HEALTH

STORY AND PHOTO BY MARIA PRICE

Make the Most of Summer Container Plantings

I

t’s not too late to plant some summer containers. They are easy and fun to make since there are so many great plants to choose from at local nurseries. Brighten up a sunny or shady or an in-between space with a container of flowers or attractive foliage. Groups of containers can make a spectacular entry way or define the patio area or line a desired pathway.

Think “recycling or repurposed” for your containers. Old baskets, kettles, wash basins, tea pots, and cracked pottery can all be used as containers for the garden, just make sure there are some drainage holes in whatever you use.

Of course, the variety of new pots is incredible along with prices to match your budget. Light weight plastic pots are great because they’re inexpensive and come in a multitude of sizes and colors. Always remember to check for drainage holes as many plastic pots had indentations to be punched for holes but have not been punched. For more of an investment, beautiful pottery is available to accent your home colors or to make a beautiful statement anywhere you place them.

I like to put a few pieces of gravel at the bottom of a pot to keep the soil from clogging the holes. Use a soil-less potting mix for good drainage and aeration.

A slow-release fertilizer like Osmocote

16 • BAY WEEKLY • June 24 - July 1, 2021

can be mixed in, about half of the depth of the pot. Make sure to pre-moisten the potting mix as you fill your container.

Fertilize your containers weekly with a water- soluble fertilizer at one fourth the recommended dose. When the weather is very hot, try to water the containers late in the day so they are well hydrated in the heat of the next day. Always water a dry container before fertilizing to prevent fertilizer burn.

A classic formula for most container plantings is threefold. Choose a filler, thriller and a spiller. Your thriller can be something that is tall, upright and colorful. Your filler can be several types of plants that coordinate and fill the top of the pot. Your spiller can be something that cascades out of the pot.

The fun part is choosing your plants.

It’s a little like painting a picture or coordinating your wardrobe. Keep in mind the location of your pot for when you choose your plants. Will it be sunny or shady?

Three plants you can’t go wrong with are lantana for sun, impatiens for shade and hostas for a shady filler.

Some of the best eye-catching flowers for sun are calibrachoas, which come in a multitude of colors and striking combinations. Others sun lovers are petunias, geraniums, violas, pentas, bacopas, Angelonia, coreopsis, mini roses and marigolds. Shady lovers include; astilbe, fuchsia, begonias, torenia and mini hydrangeas. Great foliage additions are ferns, coleus, coral bells, creeping jenny, Hakonechloa grass, caladiums and sweet potato vine.

The pictured container contains the hot tropical colors of red lilies, orange calibrachoas, and yellow marigolds accented with blue corn flowers. p

The summertime rockfish bite is developing nicely but is also frustrating. It’s still well to the north of the bridge FISHFINDER with the stripers feeding voraciously for an hour or so then turning off the rest of the tide. And there’s not a lot of consistency to the timing. Sometimes it’s an hour at the beginning of the tidal change, sometimes near the end, though there has remained a consistent but short dawn bite as well. Trolling is finding better sized fish, generally because of the larger lures and jigging anglers working seven inch and larger tails are getting similar results. perch have moved in and there are some nice sized fish of that species available, 10 inchers are not uncommon and the spot are secondand third-year fish, something that’s a bit frustrating for live liners but welcome for anglers favoring their flavors. croaker are mostly still missing but crabs are running fairly well. It’s a typical summer so far.

SPORTING LIFE

STORY AND PHOTO BY DENNIS DOYLE

“Montauk Mike” ties a Doodlebug Rig. Photo: Sensible Angler on Youtube.

Doodlebuggin’ into July T he special baitfishing rod setups for my chumming expeditions were easy to keep track of over the last few weeks especially since the two rigs I was mostly interested in were producing all the fish. Plus, the rockfish themselves were also remarkable, so far all at least 25 inches and fat till bursting, though I knew the waters held plenty of smaller fish.

Full disclosure demands that I’m certainly aware that only four fishing trips hardly makes for a valid population to base any analytical study. However, in my own defense an initial 100

MOON & TIDES

percent success rate with the targeted setups makes for an overwhelming temptation to share the early information. Trying out a different baitfishing setup for stripers when chumming and chunking ended up with some striking results and in more ways than one.

Doodlebugs are a terminal tackle setup commonly used by surf anglers along the coasts but are rarely seen up in the Tidewater. It’s composed of a monofilament high-lo rig with small multi-colored floats attached to the leaders about four inches or so above the fish hook. They’re meant to lift T HURS D AY

S ATU RD AY

baits off of the bottom, bouncing them in the current and thus away from any hungry crabs patrolling the surf lines.

They’re rarely seen up in the Chesapeake, undoubtedly because a Bay blue crab would hardly be deterred by such an obvious ploy and probably would be more apt to be attracted to the morsel than hindered from eating it. Furthermore, placing an obvious, unnatural and manmade element close to a bait could well result in scaring off any fish considering it.

Since I’m a confirmed contrarian, upon seeing a few of these rigs some time ago in the store I work at part time, I immediately began to wonder if some of those assumptions might possibly prove invalid. Perhaps, since the fishing pressure in the mid-Bay is characteristically frequent and relentless, just maybe it could have the opposite effect in our waters.

impulse that reputedly killed the cat.

So far that seems to be the case.

Though I’m still fishing both the doodlebug and my old standby fluorocarbon, fish finder setups, the doodlebug setups have continued to outperform for rockfish and blue cats. This may well be an anomaly with a one fish per person limit and the fact that I really haven’t got out on the water as much as I’d like.

However, it has definitely made my days recently much more interesting.

Undoubtedly Lady Luck could be tampering with my results, getting ready to smack me with a numbers reversal or a stretch of mystifying skunks, but so far, it’s been smooth sailing and some high-quality fish. A friend also warned me about the risk of publishing my possibly ephemeral experiences to the public. “Won’t you create expectations that quite possibly won’t be realized?”

“Naw,” I replied. “Not a chance. No one believes fishermen’s tales on the Tidewater, especially if they’re true.” p

n a Hollywood biopic, Rita Moreno’s life is the perfect example of the American Dream. A little girl moves from Puerto Rico to New York, finds fame as a dancer, and moves to Hollywood. Over a seven-decade career, Moreno earned the coveted EGOT (that’s an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) and inspired generations of Latinix people with her talents.

But life isn’t a movie, and Moreno is here to tell you becoming a legend is a lot harder than Hollywood would have you believe.

Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go for It is a frank look at Moreno’s life and career. While many biographical documentaries gloss over the less desirable aspects of a subject’s life (especially if the subject is being interviewed for the film), this documentary leans into a lot of the uglier aspects of Moreno’s career.

She speaks candidly of her race, and how MGM studio executives refused to cast her as anything but what she called “the dusky maiden”. She spent decades pretending to be everything from Thai to Native American to Russian, and every Latin race in the book.

The roles were all overly sexualized, hysterical women that Moreno found

insulting and boring. She was constantly asked to be “more spicy” playing to ethnic stereotypes that littered cinema.

She found the work demoralizing, but it was the only work she could find.

When Moreno won an Oscar for her role in West Side Story, she thought she’d finally moved past her race and would have the chance to take starring roles. But studios only wanted her to play stereotypes, leading to a seven-year gap in her filmography. Ever the survivor, Moreno decided to take her talents to TV and the stage, finding a successful career doing work that made her proud.

Moreno also discusses the horrific sexism she and fellow actresses faced.

The documentary pairs her experiences with her current activism – Moreno has been a longtime supporter of Planned Parenthood and was an active part of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. Even when she’s on set, we see her keeping politically active, running to her dressing room to watch the Kavanaugh hearings or making time to visit with her congresswoman.

She’s still making headlines. Recently, she got some flack for an opinion on colorism in Lin Manuel-Miranda’s In the Heights. But she’s never been afraid

of making waves and growing. The film frames Moreno’s coming into her own as part of her activism. Though the studio system would only let her play cliches, she finally found a voice by speaking out for women’s rights and injustices she saw around her.

While the documentary gives an interesting and often candid look at Moreno’s life, there are many unanswered questions. For every story about her affair with Marlon Brando and her marriage, there are others that are glossed over. The film also relies on academics, actors, and producers to speak of Moreno’s influence and experiences. It’s a great look at how she became an icon for the Latinix community and an example of career longevity for all.

Moreno’s road to icon status has been a bumpy one, but her star power is undeniable. The best parts of the documentary are her interviews to camera. She’s funny, frank, and incredibly charismatic. Once called “a Spanish Liz Taylor” by Louis B. Mayer, it’s easy to see how her star quality kept her a vital and fascinating presence over her long career. Even without makeup and getting breakfast at a craft services table, she’s the most interesting person in the room.

If you’re already a fan of Moreno, this film will surely cement her as a legend in your mind. If you’ve never heard of Moreno, this documentary is a stirring look at a tough, talented woman who grabbed success from an industry that often consumes and discards hopefuls with dreams of stardom. Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go for It will make you curious to find out more—a good place to start is with her brilliant work in Oz, The Muppet Show, or One Day at a Time, which are available to stream on HBOMax, Disney+, and Netflix respectively.

Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go for It is in theaters and will be available on demand in a few weeks.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

BY THE EDITORS AT ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION If You Can’t Beat ‘Em ... Eat ‘Em

What to do with all those 17-year cicadas blanketing the eastern half of the country? Sarah Dwyer of Chouquette Chocolates in Bethesda, Maryland, is coating them in chocolate and selling them as exotic treats, Reuters reported.

She calls them delicious. “When you combine the chocolate, the cinnamon and the nuttiness of the bugs, it really gives you that holiday feeling of when you’re walking around a big city and they’re roasting nuts on the sidewalk, that cinnamon smell, it’s really what it tastes like,” Dwyer said. She and her employees gather the bugs from trees behind the business and put them in paper bags, which they place in the freezer. Then the cicadas are boiled and crisped in an air fryer. “I did go to pastry school in Paris to learn my dipping technique,” Dwyer said. “I’m pretty sure no one thought I’d be using it on cicadas.”

Florida

An entrepreneurial real estate buyer got more than he bargained for in Brooksville, Florida, when he bought a municipal building for $55,000 in April.

The building sits underneath the town’s water tower, and when Bobby Read went to the county to get an address for his new building, he discovered he had also bought the large structure.

The Associated Press reported that the community-minded Read transferred the tower back to Brooksville through a warranty deed in May. City Manager Mark Kutney said a bad legal description of the property was to blame for the snafu: “We’re human. Sometimes we make a mistake.”

Crime Report

Aron Jermaine Major, 47, of Atlanta is accused of 17 counts of burglary after a crime spree that gave him the moniker “the crawling burglar,” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Starting last September, Major slithered through windows at metro Atlanta restaurants and across the floor, avoiding motion detectors, to rob the businesses of cash and liquor. He was finally apprehended in a traffic stop, where his signature clothing—a “black jacket with a distinct, gray, angular pattern on both shoulders and sleeves,” according to police—and the tag number on his car gave him away. Major has several burglary convictions on his record; he was held in the Cobb County jail without bond.

Bright Idea

When an unnamed 18-year-old found herself locked out of her home in Henderson, Nevada, on June 15, she followed the example of a certain right jolly old elf and tried to enter the home through the chimney, United Press International reported. Henderson fire-

fighters posted on Facebook that the woman became stuck “just above the flue,” and they used a rope system to pull her to safety. She was uninjured (except maybe for her pride).

Up for auction in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is a painting that was purchased in a South River thrift store for $4.09 by an unnamed buyer. After buying the painting, NPR reported, the purchaser noticed the artist’s signature on the back, with a date of 1997.

Canadian auction house Cowley Abbott has identified the painting as “DHead XLVI” by rock superstar David Bowie, who died in 2016. It’s part of a series of 47 pieces of art Bowie made between 1995 and 1997. As of press time, bids were up to $38,100.

with a conservative activist before he became a candidate, Politico reported on June 17. Braddock, vying to represent the Tampa Bay, Florida, area, told Erin Olszewski that fellow candidate Anna Paulina Luna wouldn’t be a problem because he would send “a Russian and Ukrainian hit squad” to make her “disappear.” “I really don’t want to have to end anybody’s life for the good of the people of the United States of America,” Braddock said, adding “... if the poll says Luna’s gonna win, she’s gonna be gone. For the good of our country, we have to sacrifice the few.” Braddock described his hit squad as “No snipers.

Up close and personal. So they know that the target is gone.” Olszewski turned the recordings over to police, saying, “Normal people don’t say those things.”

Sweet Revenge

Least Competent Criminal

Awesome!

Kristen Bishop, 33, and Sophie Miller, 26, were strangers from Texas until late March, when Miller called Bishop to reveal that both women were dating the same man, “Adam.” At first, Bishop didn’t believe Miller’s tale, but soon the facts came to light, and the two women cooked up a plot for revenge.

The Scottish Sun reported that Bishop and Adam had planned a vacation to Turkey for early April, which was just a few days after the revealing phone call.

When they landed in Istanbul, Bishop told him that she knew what had been going on; Miller met them at the airport, and the two women abandoned Adam, whom both had met on the dating app Hinge. Bishop had changed all the reservations in his name to Miller’s. “His jaw dropped when he saw (Sophie),” Bishop said. “We became friends quite quickly after we met up,” Bishop said of herself and Miller. “We really bonded over the eight-day trip, and it’s by far the happiest thing out of this unfortunate situation, that I found a great friend.”

New York State police arrested Austin O. Weismore, 25, of Blossvale, New York, on June 16 after he allegedly stole a U-Haul van. Weismore drove the van from Florida to New York in March, WKTV reported, but he never returned the rental. Instead, he used black spray paint to try to disguise the signature color palette and logo. Police found the van while investigating a burglary and noted that the U-Haul logo was still visible on the front windshield.

Weismore also removed the catalytic converter; he was charged with felony grand larceny, among other crimes.

Suspicions Confirmed

Update

The Dutch owners of a 61-year-old Noah’s Ark replica and the British Maritime and Coastguard Agency are locked in an “impossible stalemate” over the huge vessel, which has been docked at Ipswich, England, since November 2019. The MCA declared the 230-footlong ark not to be seaworthy, so it cannot sail, the Ipswich Star reported, and the owners have been fined 500 pounds each day. For their part, the owners say the boat, home to a biblical museum, was always categorized as a “non-certified floating object.” British Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has been called in to intervene.

You Talk Too Much

Long-shot candidate for U.S. Congress William Braddock perhaps overshared on a 30-minute phone call

For the Birds

A nature camera disguised as a piece of bark in the Nizhne-Svirsky Nature Reserve in Russia fell victim to a persistent woodpecker, United Press International reported. A black woodpecker named Zhelna, looking for insects in the wood, pecked at the camera for several days until it broke, reserve workers posted on Facebook. The device has been removed for repairs.

News of the Weird reported on March 12 that Alexandr Kudlay, 33, and Viktoria Pustovitova, 28, from Kharkiv, Ukraine, had handcuffed themselves together for three months to test their fraught relationship. On June 18, Reuters reported that the experiment was a failure. Kudlay and Pustovitova had their shackles cut off on national television, with Kudlay admitting that “We are not on the same wavelength, we are totally different.” Pustovitova tearfully admitted, “I think it will be a good lesson for us, for other Ukrainian couples and couples abroad not to repeat what we have done.” p Send your weird news items with subject line WEIRD NEWS to WeirdNewsTips@amuniversal.com.

1. What was Alice’s boyfriend’s occupation?

Lewis Carroll didn’t invent this idiom when he wrote Alice in Wonderland in 1865, because hatters and hat wearers had already been going mad, and would continue to do so until safety reforms in 1940. Seems the hat-making industry used mercury-nitrate to transform the fur of small animals into felt. The mercury was absorbed by the workers and also into hat-wearers’ heads resulting in tremors, memory loss, speech problems, hallucinations, and well, madness. Carroll considered using ‘crazy as a loon,’ but loon heads are too small for hats.
