N FRIDAY AFTERNOON, we were anchored in Whitehall Bay—a slight breeze blowing, with sunshine and low humidity. Our only company was a couple of cownose rays “waving” at the surface, an unconfirmed turtle near the shoreline and a pair of ospreys, watching us with sharp eyes from their platform. Aboard our Albin 28 called Liberty, part of Chesapeake Boating Club’s fleet of cruising powerboats, eight CBM Bay Weekly colleagues gathered on the water with an unlikely mission: to decide which is the very best-testing crab chip available on the Bay. We set up a highly scientific blind taste test, with numbered plates of chips and no knowledge of which plate was which. We tested six different brands and varieties as a group, each person ranking their favorite. Tasting them back-to-back, I was surprised by how noticeable the differences were from chip to chip. Sure, they all sort of looked the same, but our testers picked out distinct flavors like sweet, smoky, vinegar-heavy, slightly chemical, or too plain—“It’s just a lunchbox chip.” While our crab chip experiment probably confused the ospreys (along with any other boaters that passed by), we conducted our taste test for good reason. We spent the last two weeks asking Chesapeake Country to vote on their favorite crab-seasoned snack, and we wanted to find out whether our strategic test would match the public’s favorite crab chip. (Spoiler alert: our favorite chips were totally different than yours!) With opinions formed, we each cast a vote for first place crab chip. And it was a tie for first! We won’t keep you in suspense any longer. With no further ado, here are

the CBM Bay Weekly team’s favorites, and the champion according to our Bay Weekly Facebook survey. READER FAVORITE: Utz Classic Crab Chips, with their Chesapeake Bay seasoning, dominated in our public poll, with 75 percent of the vote. READER RUNNER-UP: Utz Kettle Crab Chips, crunchier than their counterparts, took second place in the public poll. CBM BAY WEEKLY FAVORITE (TIE): Utz Smokin’ Sweet Crab Chips (for living up to their sweet name) and Route 11 Chesapeake Crab Chips (a thicker kettle chip and the only one of the bunch made with the family-owned J.O. Spice seasoning). CBM BAY WEEKLY RUNNER-UP: Herr’s Old Bay Chips, a zingier-seasoned chip that shouts Chesapeake Bay. And when all of our careful blind taste-testing was finished, we dumped all the chips onto one plate together and snacked hard. One crab-seasoned treat wasn’t included in the blind test, but kept making the rounds: Herr’s Old Bay Cheese Curls. Everyone should certainly try them, but keep the Wet Wipes handy. I’ll admit it: our Bay-seasoned snack study was a day of fun disguised as work. But we’d like to think we also carried out a public service, inspiring Chesapeake Country to branch out and try a new crab chip. After all, the taste of that salty-paprika dusting of crab seasoning can immediately transport you to summertime on the water, no matter where you are. But if you can, I highly recommend eating your crab chips aboard a boat, on a blue-sky day, with ospreys. p —MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM EDITORIAL DIRECTOR

BAY WATERSHED REPORT CARD IMPROVES SLIGHTLY TO BBY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

ords like “moderate” and even “good” are being used to describe the health of the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed in the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science’s (UMCES) 2020 report card, released Tuesday. UMCES gave the watershed a grade of B- for 2020, while the Bay itself improved from a C- to a C. While some individual factors had mixed results, the Baywide trend was overall positive, the center says. Among the success stories: dissolved oxygen and total nitrogren levels. Chlorophyll and total phosphorus scores, on the other hand, were worse in 2020. Water clarity, benthic community, and aquatic grass were also slightly worse than the previous year. UMCES notes that among the regions reported, the Elizabeth River held steady. The highest-ranked region was the Lower Bay, while the Patapsco and Back Rivers region was the lowest ranked. The watershed (versus the Chesapeake Bay itself) is generally considered in good health. Total nitrogen was the highest scoring factor. The West Branch Susquehanna had the best marks, with a rare A- grade. The York was the lowest scoring region, with a C. The Watershed Report Card has expanded to include new health indicators like protected lands, stewardship (volunteerism and civic action), walkability, and heat vulnerability. The watershed health analysis uses 23 reporting regions and factors both ecological and social indicators into its scores. Throughout the report, there a notable emphasis on environmental justice. “Improvements in our environment go hand-in-hand with improvements in our communities particularly those that are traditionally disadvantaged,” said UMCES President Dr. Peter Goodwin. UMCES says it will expand the indicators that measure environmental justice, especially those that address economic disparities. Right now, graduate students within the University

System of Maryland are developing an environmental justice index. One of the new indicators included in 2020, walkability, factors in how many people can walk to a park in 10 minutes. It was a more important indicator than ever before during the pandemic, when parks were among the few options for people to get exercise, fresh air, and a change of scenery. “During the nation’s worst public health crisis in 100 years, people sought out and found comfort and joy in green spaces, like parks, beaches, historic landmarks, and local ball fields,” said Wendy O’Sullivan, Superintendent of the National Park Service’s Chesapeake Bay Office. “There is no doubt that our parks and recreational spaces are more important than ever. Conserving and protecting lands and ensuring equitable public access are key priorities for the overall health of the Chesapeake watershed and its communities.” Support from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation allowed UMCES to expand the assessment to include social and economic indicators across the watershed. It should be noted that due to the pandemic, there was a gap in monitoring from March to May 2020, while most of the Bay states were under a stay-at-home order. On the other hand, the center notes a reduction in atmospheric nitrogen on the region thanks to reduced travel in 2020. “Although we have lots of work ahead of us, I am confident that our shared commitments will help ensure that the Chesapeake Bay remains one of America’s great environmental treasures for generations to come,” said Congressman John Sarbanes, co-chair of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Task Force.

Visitors can now parasail on the Chesapeake Bay right from Annapolis. Photo: Cheryl Costello.

PARASAILING COMES HOME TO ANNAPOLIS BY CHERYL COSTELLO

arasailing is an activity usually reserved for tropical tourist destinations like Florida or the Caribbean. But you can now soar high above the Chesapeake Bay behind a boat that leaves from Annapolis. We wanted to find out first-hand what makes parasailing on the Chesapeake so special. Feet above the Bay, visitors Marisa Tamari and her daughter Anna O’Connor took a chance on parasailing in Annapolis. “I was afraid that I was going to be afraid once they started taking off. But once you’re up there, it’s just beautiful to look over the Bay Bridge,” Tamari says. The mother-daughter duo from Kensington, in Montgomery County, booked an overnight stay in Annapolis so that Anna could try crabs for the first time. But it turns out that experience couldn’t compete with parasailing. “It was really better than the crabs, frankly,” Tamari says. “It was a lot more peaceful up there. I was worried about my glasses before I came up, but honestly it wasn’t really that bad.” Z Flight Watersports just opened this month after relocating from Marathon, Fla., to be closer to family. General manager Audra Emrich tells Bay Bulletin it’s the first time in decades for a company to parasail near the Bay Bridge. “We thought, why not try it in Annapolis and let’s see? And it has just taken off like wildfire,” Emrich says. “It’s something different. If you don’t have a boat … this gives everybody the opportunity to be on the Chesapeake Bay.” The business is properly inspected. “We have to get signed off with the FAA to fly. We have Coast Guard inspections. You know you’re on a drug test consortium. It’s really regulated.” The boat is specially equipped for parasailing with a winch and more. Captain Howard Baldwin has been running parasailing trips for seven years. “You’re just taking and doing a 360-degree turn all the time with your head. You’re checking the chute and making sure … you want to have a level chute when you’re flying. You’re checking for boats, you’re checking for crab pots,” Baldwin explains. But all you have to do as a passenger is take in the view—from as high as 800 feet. The captain can work with different wind speeds. “If there’s not a lot of wind, you would use a bigger parachute and obviously the boat works harder,” Emrich tells us. We think this just might be the best way to get across the Bay Bridge during peak summer hours. You can parasail with Z Flight weekly from Thursday through Sunday.

n a blistering hot June morning, hundreds gathered to witness the unveiling of the Guardians of the First Amendment Memorial in downtown Annapolis. The solemn occasion marked the third anniversary of the murders of five Capital Gazette staffers June 28, 2018. It was the largest killing of journalists in American history and came during a period when negativity toward the press was at an all-time high. The memorial sits on a plaza at the corner of Compromise and Newman Streets with an oak tree at its center. A brick wall contains the words of the First Amendment along with a replica of the June 28 front page of the Capital Gazette. Five pillars surround the memorial, honoring the lives of Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiaasen, John McNamara, Rebecca Smith, and Wendi Winters. The project was supported by the Caucus of African American Leaders and was initiated by the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Committee and is a collaboration between state and local governments as well as community organizations, nonprofits, and individual donors. The Caucus selected the concept, hired the design and construction firm, and secured project funding. The State of Maryland and Anne Arundel County provided grants. The City of Annapolis also provided funding as well as the location on City property. “Today, it feels right to be together in remembrance of our loss and in our continuing and shared grief,” said Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley. “We are gathered to dedicate this memorial, which I hope you’ll return to and use as a place of reflection to honor the Guardians of the First Amendment: Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiaasen, John McNamara, Rebecca Smith and Wendi Winters.”

“Mayor Buckley and County Executive Pittman are to be commended for creating a memorial that will remind future generations of the importance of the First Amendment,” said Carl Snowden, convener of the Caucus of African American Leaders and emcee of the event. “The journalists who died three years ago were guardians of this precious right and this memorial will stand the test of time and their lives were not in vain.” Authors and former Baltimore Sun journalists David Simon (best known as creator of HBO’s “The Wire”) and Laura Lippman delivered remarks. Survivors of the shooting, journalists and family members of the victims spoke as did elected officials including Maryland House Speaker Adrienne Jones, County Executive Steuart Pittman and Mayor Buckley. “This memorial will inspire future generations of Annapolis visitors to pause and ponder the sacrifices made by five brave Americans in defense of a newspaper, in defense of a free press, and in defense of the foundation of our democracy,” said Pittman. Speakers also included journalist Phil Davis, who survived the attack and livetweeted reports from the newsroom, and former Capital editor Rick Hutzell, who said he continues to mourn the loss of his friends but reminded those gathered that the memories aren’t there “in these bricks... but in the hearts of those who loved them.” Tribune Publishing, which owns The Capital, was bought by Alden Global Capital, a hedge fund company last month. Hutzell, editor Chase Cook and reporter Danielle Ohl have all left the newspaper after accepting voluntary buyouts. The sanity trial for the accused gunman, Jarrod Ramos, began this week.

Destination:

ANNAPOLIS BY JODY ARGO SCHROATH

WHY YOU SHOULD GO

o matter the size or shape of your boat, you’ll discover that Annapolis is the practically perfect weekend destination for you. Where else can you find such a felicitous combination of history, charm, good food, happy music, pirate ships and ice cream? We’ll explain how to negotiate busy Annapolis Harbor without hassle to find your slip with ease and enjoy a weekend to remember (and how to get onto the water just as easily if you don’t own a boat). For most people anywhere near the Chesapeake Bay, a visit to Annapolis is a given. All those boats! All those restaurants! All those shops! All that history! What’s not to love? Yet many boaters leave their vessels at home, opting instead to pile the family and Fido into the old reliable land-yacht and trundle off to wrestle the weekend traffic so they can hunt for a good parking space before trooping into the center city to start the fun. Then a few hours later, it’s time to head back home. Why? Simply because the thought of navigating the busy waters of Annapolis harbor fills them with fear and confusion. Where should they go? Where should they tie up? Should they take a mooring ball or a marina slip? Which marina? Which mooring ball? What if they’d rather spend the night ashore? Well, you can relax now, because we have the answers.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO FIND

ven if you’ve made the road trip to Annapolis a dozen times before, you’ll want to understand how the city is laid out, whether you are arriving by water or towing your boat behind you. The Eastport part of the city lies snugged between Back Creek and Spa Creek, just inside the mouth of the Severn River. West Annapolis stretches farther up the Severn. Historic downtown Annapolis and the Naval Academy lie on the north side of Spa Creek. The city’s largest and some of its fanciest marinas, as well as most of its service and repair yards, lie along both sides of Back Creek. All of this is connected by water taxis or can be accessed with your dinghy, which you can tie up on any number of dinghy landings throughout the two creeks.

HOW TO GET THERE IF YOU ARRIVE BY BOAT

nnapolis Harbor lies just south of the Bay Bridge. As you make the turn off the Bay and look toward the city, you should be able to make out the dome of the state capitol and to its right, the dome of the Naval Academy Chapel— no skyscrapers here. You’ll want to head into the harbor and aim for the domes. If you are coming from the south, be sure to honor the Tolly Point Shoal buoy (green “1AH”). If you are coming from the north, do the same for the Greenbury Point Shoal (red “4”). Other than that, just watch out for crab pots and cross-traffic. Oh yes and sailboat

races—it’s not polite to power through the fleet. Anyway, you’ll be fine. Now it’s time to choose a creek.

BACK CREEK

he entrance to Back Creek is marked by two green markers, which absolutely must be obeyed, and a useful red. Once you’re well into the mouth of the river, head for the red roof of Horn Point Harbor Marina until the markers sort themselves out. You’ll be entering between Annapolis Sailing School to port and Horn Point and the self-styled Maritime Republic of Eastport to starboard. Once inside, you’ll find four of the city’s largest marinas, fuel, repairs and the Annapolis Maritime Museum. On the west side, you can get a quiet slip at a resort-style marina like Port Annapolis Marina or Annapolis Landing; arrange for any conceivable kind of work for your boat at Bert Jabin Yacht Yard; or drop the anchor or pick up a city mooring ball. On the Eastport side, you can choose either a resort marina (Safe Harbor Annapolis, formerly known as Mears), a working marina (Eastport Yacht Center) or the previously-mentioned Horn Point Harbor Marina.

SPA CREEK The entrance to Spa Creek is straightforward, except for the coming and going of a few tour boats, water taxis, and dozens of recreational boats of every possible description. It’s exciting and, if you take it slow, no problem at all.

If you head generally for the Naval Academy Bridge over the Severn River until you’ve cleared Horn Point Light “HP”, you can then turn to port, entering Spa Creek with the Naval Academy bulkhead to starboard and Eastport Yacht Club, Severn Sailing Association, and the neighborhood of Eastport on your port side. Don’t even think about cutting inside the “HP” marker unless you are in a kayak or on a paddleboard. On the Eastport side, before the Spa Creek Bridge, you’ll find several marinas, most importantly Annapolis City Marina, which has fuel. You may also want to check out transient slips at the new South Annapolis Yacht Center offers on the upstream side of the bridge. On the downtown side, you’ll pass a long line of city mooring balls, Annapolis Yacht Basin Marina (since 1937), and the grand Annapolis Yacht Club. Here too you’ll find the city’s famous “Ego Alley,” once dockage for local watermen, but now a place to see and be seen. It’s like cruising through the local drive-in with your cherry 1965 Chevy for the benefit of the admiring crowds. But you can also park your boat here by the hour or overnight. It’s tight and it’s not cheap, but everyone should probably do it at least once. You’ll feel as if you are now one of the tourist attractions, and you’ll be in the middle of everything, a few steps away from Main Street and the Naval Academy. Annapolis City Dock operates both the Ego Alley slips and all of the city’s mooring balls. More dockage is available at Annapolis Town Dock, at the former Fawcett’s location. There are a few more city mooring balls on the far side of the bridge, as well as a few places to drop the anchor farther up Spa Creek. To get ashore, call a water taxi or use one of the city’s many dinghy docks.

IF YOU ARE TRAILERING IN

rriving by car with a trailer in tow? Put in at Annapolis’s Truxton Park near the headwaters of Spa Creek and you won’t go wrong. The ramps are paved and there are good launch docks ($10 round trip via annapolisparking.com). Now head out Spa Creek, and you’ll pass through some of the city’s most pleasant neighborhoods along the way. CONTINUED O

WEEKENDS ON THE WATER IF YOU ARE BRINGING YOUR PADDLECRAFT This is a paddler’s paradise, with dinghy docks at the end of nearly every street and parks, such as Truxton, where you can put in and easily leave your car. There is great paddling from the top of Spa Creek to the bottom, with plenty of places to stop on both sides and visit, eat, and shop. Then head out of Spa Creek into the harbor and hug the Eastport Shore around Horn Point to enter Back Creek. Use a dinghy dock to visit the maritime museum and try out a few restaurants. Kayak and paddle board rentals are offered by Paddle Annapolis, Annapolis Canoe & Kayak, Kayak Annapolis, and Capital SUP.

ful that people get married here. Bert Jabin Yacht Yard Lying along the south side of the upstream Back Creek, Jabin’s is Annapolis’s largest marina and its most complete working yard, with dozens of marine contractors on site—riggers, painters, fiberglass repair, marine electricians and mechanics. Safe Harbor Annapolis Formerly known as Mears Marina, Safe Harbor is located on the Eastport side of Back Creek, which makes it an easy walk to restaurants, the maritime museum and downtown Annapolis. Like Annapolis Landing and Port Annapolis across the creek, Safe Harbor Annapolis is lovely to look at and easy to enjoy. In addition to the usual amenities, it offers a pool, as well as tennis and pickleball courts. Horn Point Harbor Marina Without a doubt, Horn Point Harbor has the best view of all the Back Creek marinas since it overlooks the Bay from its position at the mouth of the creek. That location, however, also makes it more susceptible to winds and chop, depending on the direction, though its breakwater takes care of most of the rough water. Like Safe Harbor Annapolis, Horn Point Harbor is an easy walk to Eastport’s restaurants and points of interest.

SPA CREEK

Annapolis City Marina This is one of two marinas with fuel docks on Spa Creek. Slips are a little tight, but the location is terrific. Eastport restaurants, including Carrol’s Creek and the world-famous Boatyard Bar & Grill (voted best crab cake in the area) are only a few steps away. Downtown Annapolis is just across the Spa Creek Bridge. Annapolis Yacht Basin This is the other marina on Spa Creek with a fuel dock. This is also the marina where you’ll find the mega-yachts in port at any time. But there is room for boats of all sizes. The location is lovely, on the downtown side, next to the Annapolis Yacht Club. Annapolis City Dock Depths are good, the fairway (Ego Alley) is narrow, but the location for visiting historic downtown Annapolis couldn’t be better. Annapolis City Dock also operates the city mooring fields, located in front of City Dock, just beyond the Spa Creek Bridge, further up Spa Creek and on Back Creek between Port Annapolis and Bert Jabin.

WEEKENDS ON THE WATER on Ego Alley are slightly better during non-weekend, non-holiday periods. Annapolis Town Dock Managed by Oasis Marinas in the former Fawcett’s location, this 228-foot strip of dockage puts you right next to Pusser’s and the Fleet Reserve water taxi on the infamous Ego Alley. It’s an easy walk to Main Street, USNA and other historic sites. Use Snag-a-Slip for reservations.

HOTELS AND BED & BREAKFASTS

ere are just a few of our favorites for both downtown and Eastport. Annapolis Waterfront Hotel Annapolis Waterfront is the only hotel and the only restaurant (Pusser’s Caribbean Grille) directly on Ego Alley, which makes it ideal for sightseeing trips and for watching the passing scene while sipping a refreshing Painkiller rum drink. Not surprisingly, the hotel comes alive during the fall boat shows. Inn at Horn Point The Inn at Horn Point is a boutique bed and breakfast set in the eclectic neighborhood of Eastport. It has recently moved around the corner to a new location, still in Eastport, at 534 Burnside St., where they serve regionally-famous breakfasts. Historic Inns of Annapolis

Here’s a chance to stay in the midst of famously historic Annapolis in one of three period inns, all close to State Circle, restaurants, shopping and the city’s famous and narrow, 18th century streets. Flag House Inn This delightful bed & breakfast is in a restored Victorian, just across the street from the pedestrian entrance to the Naval Academy and an easy walk to the water, shopping and everything else. Gibson’s Lodgings of Annapolis Gibson’s Lodgings is a 21-room, completely charming historic inn located between the Naval Academy and City Dock. It is actually made up of three houses from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The homes feature a central courtyard.

HOW TO GET AROUND WATER TAXI

ou have several options for getting around Annapolis, from Back Creek marinas to Eastport restaurants and City Dock shops and sites. One of the easiest is to make use of the Annapolis Water Taxi service ($4-$9 one way depending on destination). If you are anchored or on a mooring ball, simply call them on channel 68 or give them a call at 410-263-0033. Dinghy Docks In some distant past, the city planners had the foresight to put dinghy landings at the end of many of the streets ending on both Spa and Back creeks—about 22 in all. Unfortunately, a number of these have fallen into disrepair, but happily a

everal decades ago—a drop in the bucket Annapolis-history-wise—the Spa Creek Bridge was closed for a while. This effectively separated Eastport from the old downtown, so Eastporters/Eastportericans decided to form their own republic, complete with flag and coat of arms, which, among other things, featured a Chesapeake Bay Retriever with a tennis ball. The bridge re-opened, but the spirit of revelry and revolution continued, with a tug of war battle against Annapolis proper and a 0.5-K charity race across the bridge held annually. Originally a farming community and a watermen’s settlement, Eastport retains its own spirit. With that in mind, here is a short tour that we feel will give you the spirit of the place. Don’t worry, that spirit includes plenty of spirits, lots of food, and a bit of history. If you are here on a weekend, we suggest you start the morning with coffee and homemade pastries at Bakers & Co. on Chesapeake Avenue (they have scrumptious soups, too), or on any day of the week at Leeward Market Café

WEEKENDS ON THE WATER at an outdoor table as you watch Back Creek lap up against the tiny museum beach. Heaven! After lunch, grab a water taxi back to your boat or lodging or simply find a bench at the end of nearly any street in Eastport and sit and enjoy the water. When you are ready for a special meal out, walk over to Severn Avenue, where you’ll find the finest hunk of meat in town at Lewnes Steakhouse, or make it a seafood excursion at O’Leary’s Seafood, or at Eastport favorite Blackwall Hitch, which opened in 2014 by James King, restaurateur and CEO of Titan Hospitality. King wanted the restaurant to feature a nautical-inspired dining theme that would blend the area’s finest in tastes and talents. Seasonally driven and locally sourced food and spirits, local music and friendly staff greet you upon arrival. Reservations are recommended for these popular outings. On Wednesday summer nights, walk another block or two up Severn to Carrol’s Creek Restaurant and watch the races finish at the foot of Spa Creek Bridge. For lunch, dinner or Sunday brunch, be sure to visit the local sailor and angler gathering place voted the area’s best crab cake, best raw bar, and most family friendly—the Boatyard Bar & Grill. That’s where Jimmy Buffet goes when he’s in town. It’s on Severn Avenue, too.

here is so much to do in downtown Annapolis, it will be hard to choose. So, instead of a simple list of things to do and places to eat, here too we’ve put together a proposed itinerary for downtown that includes shopping, historic sites, and enough food and ice cream to keep you going. Oh, and don’t forget to pack your favorite walking shoes. You’re going to thank us later. After breakfast at someplace like the remarkable Iron Rooster, walk up Main Street to Church Circle, just to get a feel of things. Meander in and out of the shops. Try on some hats at Hats in the Belfry or sunglasses at Shades of the Bay. If art makes your heart soar, be sure to stop in McBride Gallery, the largest gallery in historic Annapolis. When you reach Church Circle, admire the lovely and historic St. Anne’s Parish and its graveyard before turning left to explore West Street’s shops, galleries and restaurants. West Street is where you’ll find some of the city’s hottest venues, from the Ram’s Head on Stage to 49 West Coffeehouse and Wine Bar. On West Street, you also find the Annapolis Visitor Center, where many of the city tours begin and you can pick up more brochures than you can possibly juggle.

Music and outdoor dining at Galway Bay on Maryland Ave. Photo: Betsy Kehne. Now turn around and head over to State Circle for a tour of the hyper-historic State Capital building, the very place where George Washington gave his Farewell Address when Annapolis was briefly the nation’s capital. On the circle, you’ll also find more restaurants and shops, with even more down Maryland Avenue. Browse through Old Fox Books where you can enjoy a cup of java from Brown Mustache coffee, or sample a pint at Galway Bay Irish Restaurant and Pub before gathering up the final burst of energy necessary to wend your way back to the water through the town’s maze of narrow brick streets. Don’t forget to admire the city’s world-class collection of 18th-century architecture as you go. Watch your step, though, the 18th century wasn’t famous for smooth pavement. Now treat yourself to lunch at Annapolis Market House or historic Middleton Tavern. Or Sofi’s Crepes. Or Mission BBQ. Or Pip’s Dock Street Dogs—the best cheesesteak south of Philly… so many choices! Feeling revived? Then this is the time to stroll over to the U.S. Naval Academy (which reopens to the public this weekend, from sunrise to 7pm, photo ID req’d, visitors will be screened and bags checked) and take in its fine museum and exquisite ship’s models. On your way to the visitor’s entrance, be sure to pop into the award-winning Annapolis Marine Art Gallery on the corner of Dock and Craig streets. You’ll have just enough time for a quick refresher at one of Annapolis’s great ice cream shops. Our CBM Ice Cream Editor particularly recommends the Annapolis Ice Cream Company before you set sail on a sunset cruise aboard a beautiful schooner with Schooner Woodwind, which runs sailing cruises from the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel. (Storm Bros Ice Cream Factory on Dock Street is another excellent choice.) You could also choose to do a Watermark tour or cruise to catch the spots you didn’t see the first time around. Finish the evening with an elegant dinner at Harry Browne’s on State Circle or local seafood bouillabaisse at Café Normandie. After dinner, take a stroll up to the Drummer’s Lot Pub in the historic Maryland Inn for a nightcap before tucking in for a good night’s sleep. You’ve earned it! The next morning, head back up Main Street for breakfast and the traditional Pledge of Allegiance at Chick and Ruth’s Delly. Now take a final stroll through town, enjoy a coffee from Bitty and Beau’s or Rise Up (inside Market House), before climbing aboard, or loading up the trailer, and heading back to your home port. Whew. Sure, you’re exhausted, but you’ll have had a weekend on the water very well spent.

CREATURE FEATURE

STORY AND PHOTO BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

A Foreign Lady (Bug)

everal times a week, I walk around my yard and do a survey of bugs. It is not a formal count but I am interested in how many beneficial insects are in residence. This week, I found five small Chinese praying mantis, but no native Carolina mantis, and a dozen ladybugs. Strangely enough, none of the ladybugs had spots. Initially, I thought that the ladybugs were just young and would grow up and develop spots. It turns out that, like the praying mantis, an Asian species of ladybug has been introduced by well-meaning entomologists. At the turn of the 20th century, aphids were damaging pecan trees. Our native seven-spotted ladybug was not inclined to live so high above the ground but the tree-loving multicolored Asian ladybug did, so they were studied and introduced to the U.S. It was a somewhat successful exper-

iment, and from 1916 to 1985 it was introduced at various locations in the U.S. for control of aphid infestations in an assortment of crops. It wasn’t until 1988 that a population was found to have established itself in Louisiana. By 1993, the ladybugs were found in Virginia. It is now the most common ladybug species in Maryland and quite common throughout the Midwest and East Coast. The Asian ladybug is also known as the Harlequin ladybug because it can be found in many colors, with or without spots. The shell can range from black to light yellow with zero to 15 spots. It is larger than the native species and more resistant to pesticides and fungal disease. The Asian ladybug also commonly has a fungus living in it that is deadly to the native species. They are also known to eat native ladybug eggs and larvae. Their life cycle involves a wingless larval stage that is black with yellow spots and described as alligator-shaped. The larvae are very hungry and probably eat more aphids than an adult beetle. After it eats enough, usually within three weeks,

the larvae molt into adults, and continue to consume aphids and are able to fly to other areas to feed. When fall comes, the Asian ladybug will look for a place to spend the winter. When they find a likely location, they will release a pheromone that attracts more and more bugs. They are known to invade buildings by the thousands. The adult beetles are actually known to have bitten people. It is said that they are trying to get salt but they really seem to be taking a quick taste—a

sharp nip. So having them invade your home could end up with you getting a few bites. The best way to prevent them from invading is to make sure all cracks are sealed with caulking. The native seven-spotted ladybug is still around and the hope is that it can somehow live in harmony with the multicolored Asian ladybug. I went back to look at all the ladybug photos I have taken over the past five years and only one out of 10 were of a native seven-spotted ladybug. p

leaving the aphids carcass behind. Another study examined Colorado potato beetles on eggplant fields. Dill was planted in alternating strips to attract beneficial insects that prey on the beetles. Predatory insects like hover flies and parasitic wasps are

drawn to the nectar and pollen of dill flowers, but ended up feeding on the Colorado potato beetles and their larvae on the eggplants. Take advantage of companion planting in your own gardens with some sweet alyssum and dill. p

GARDENING FOR HEALTH

STORY AND PHOTO BY MARIA PRICE

Companion Planting

ature tends to mix things up. Instead of all our trees, plants and flowers growing in big blocks of just one kind, they are intermingled in a natural system. If nature does it, why don’t we? Most people plant their vegetables in rows but planting a variety of plants in a bed takes advantage of what is known as companion planting. It’s closer to the way things occur in the natural world. Some plants have a synergistic relationship with certain other plants. One or both of them will grow better, yield more, and sometimes even taste better when they grow near one another. Understanding plant relationships is an important part of planning any garden. In some cases, plant partnerships can have negative effects. One plant can inhibit another’s growth; some plants exude substances from their roots that inhibit certain plants near them. Sometimes essential oils that volatilize from plants will confuse insects. Some plants will attract beneficial insects that will help to parasitize insect pests on another plant. It’s not an exact science, so experimentation and observation are keys to good gardening.

Our gardens are artificially created environments, but they are still ecosystems where many layers of organisms interact with each other in all kinds of ways. The more organisms you have in that ecosystem, the more stable it becomes. A great example is lettuce and sweet alyssum. Sweet alyssum is one of my favorite little annuals for containers. It has a myriad of tiny white, pink or purple flowers that can spill over a container with a sweet vanilla-like scent. Several studies have examined the usefulness of the annual sweet alyssum as a biological control for aphids. Since lettuce and grapes are particularly vulnerable to aphid infestations, farmers have been planting their fields and vineyards with rows of sweet alyssum to control the pests. You can achieve similar results in your home garden by planting sweet alyssum along the edges of your vegetable beds. Sweet alyssum has been found to be an excellent food source for hover flies and parasitic wasps that help manage aphids. The beneficial flies and wasps feed on its pollen and nectar. The hover flies lay their eggs on nearby aphid-infested plants and their larvae feed on the aphids. The wasps insert eggs into the aphids that hatch inside and eventually pupate and emerge,

SPORTING LIFE

The rockfish bite is continuing well to the north of the Bay Bridge again this year. There is some action at Love Point FISHFINDER and the mouth of the Chester but low oxygen deep around Podickery and south to Hacketts is pushing the schools out. The mouth of the eastern Bay is producing, as is around Poplar Island but you may have to look a little for the fish. The most mobile choice of tactics is to troll medium to small bucktails tipped with Sassy Shad but if you can mark a collection of fish deep, chumming will be effective. Remember to set up in the current above the fish so your slick gets carried to them. Jigging can be effective in these conditions as well. The white perch are well situated up in the tribs now and taking small spinnerbaits such as Capt. Berts and Beetlespins. catfish are gathering in the deeper parts of tributary mouths and the snakeheads are running up into the lily pads and holding on laydowns and submerged brush along the shores. It’s the summertime bite. Beware of the sun.

That Sinking Feeling Can Get Complicated

ome casual anglers may regard fishing sinkers as merely a weighted device to get their baits down on the bottom where the fish live and feed. Other than the weight of the item, they pay little attention to the style they are using. However, there are many designs available these days from bell, bass and bank sinkers to bullet heads, egg sinkers, disc sinkers, rubber cores, split shot, walking sinkers, pencil weights, drop shots, deep drops, pear bombs and a particularly unique design called a sputnik among other current creations. It can sometimes be a distinct advantage to be aware of them. The most popular type for general

Named (I’m told) for its most common use—fishing off of convenient banks—it casts well with an aerodynamic shape, and generally holds it place on the bottom in mild currents. A two-ounce size is the most commonly used in Bay waters up to 40 feet or so. The bell (or dipsey) sinker is the next most used type and available in sizes up to 16 ounces or more. Tear drop-shaped with a copper wire eyelet and shaft T HURS D AY

running through the center, they cast well and are not intended to hold bottom securely but will roll easily, actually an advantage if you want to present your bait drifting with the current across an area. Its shape minimizes snagging on bottom obstructions and will bounce and bound easily across the bottom. This design along with the in-line sinker are also commonly used in trolling applications to keep lures at desired depths. When one desires to present a bait holding bottom against a current, the pyramid sinker is a better choice. A three- or four-sided, pointed, pyramid shape with a copper wire eyelet set into a flat top, it is designed to dig into and hold the bottom. The pyramid is also the top choice for surf anglers and an advantage for boat anglers fishing multiple rigs, some rigged with bank sinkers and other with pyramids, to keep them separated in moving currents. Though a two-ounce bank weight is the most common type and size generally used for chumming and presenting baits in up to 40 feet, as well as for bottom bouncing, drifting and simple bottom fishing the real rule of thumb in deciding how heavy a weight S U ND AY

M OND AY

TU ES D A Y

to use is just this: the lightest weight possible that will hold your bait or to present it where you want it. Fish, particularly a larger, older fish, soon learn that anything attached to the morsel of food they are considering is dangerous to their safety. The less the sinker weighs the less noticeable it is. There are other exceptions and features to these types including sinkers made of tin, brass, steel, bismuth, tungsten, recycled glass and even granite to conform to local environmental efforts but lead sinkers remain the most common and economical form in the angler’s tool box. As an angler’s pursuits get more focused on specific and newly desirable species that dwell or travel in special or unique marine environments and water depths, baits or lures that tempt those fish are also soon developed. The unique sinker or device that allows the baits or lures to be presented in those specific places are also eventually designed by clever individuals to assist in doing just that. The fisherman’s world can get mighty weird and complicated, especially when they put their mind to it. Enjoy! p

Werewolves Within Wolves aren’t the only monsters in this horror comedy

orest ranger Finn (Sam Richardson: Housebroken) is banished to the tiny hamlet of Beaverfield after making a mistake at his previous position. He’s hoping that a new start in a small town is just what he needs to get his life back on track. Kind to a fault and rather timid, Finn lives his life by the doctrine of Mr. Rogers. But the residents of Beaverfield aren’t interested in being good neighbors. Finn finds the town in the midst of upheaval, a proposed oil pipeline dividing the residents. Some, like the conservative Andertons, welcome the pipeline and the money, but others, like the owner of the local inn, are hoping to stop the pipeline and preserve the beauty of the woods around them. Finn’s only ally is the mail carrier, Cecily (Milana Vayntrub: Dad), who at least finds the collection of oddballs around her amusing. It seems the residents are literally at each other’s throats after Finn finds a body under the porch of the inn. Before he can call for help, the power goes out and a blizzard closes all the roads.

When Finn discovers every generator in town is damaged, he realizes he’s in trouble. Finn worries that there’s a murderer among the residents, but is it that simple? Is a werewolf stalking the town? The general rule of moviemaking is that any film adapted from a videogame is nearly unwatchable. Luckily for Werewolves Within, the source material seems to be obscure enough that this movie has escaped the curse. Though the roots of the film are based on a Ubisoft Virtual Reality game, director Josh Ruben (Scare Me) and writer Mishna Wolff wisely lean into the talents of their cast, crafting a comedy that’s a fusion of Knives Out and The Thing. Werewolves Within relies more heavily on comedy than the horror and mystery elements of the story. This is helped by two compelling lead performances from Richardson and Vayntrub. Richardson’s Finn is so doggedly nice, you’re naturally rooting for him. His manages to humanize the bumbling hero routine, making his Finn a sweet, if bewildered, lead. As Cecily, Vayntrub adds a fun tart counterpoint to Richardson’s sweetness. Cecily is a little more world weary, but enchanted by Finn’s commitment to being a force of good. While Werewolves Within is a funny whodunit with charismatic performances, there’s one problem: it’s pret-

ty clear whodunit. If you’ve ever seen a movie before, chances are you’ll know exactly who’s howling at the moon pretty quickly. It’s a testament to the performances that the failure of the central mystery isn’t a massive problem. The film’s comedic chops are also its biggest drawback. Wolff draws broad comedy characters. The Andertons are such ridiculous stereotypes of conservative people, with their Make The Pipeline Great signs, they’d be more at home in an SNL skit. The gay couple who run the yoga studio in town don’t fare any better, swanning around town in furry hats and wraps, squealing every time something bad happens. The caricatures are funny to a point, but it eliminates the tension when bodies start to drop. It’s hard to care about the bodies piling up when the whole universe seems to be set inside a comedy sketch. If you’re interested in a goofy comedy with some winning performances, Werewolves Within is an excellent option for a trip to the theater. This is the type of film that’s best seen in a crowd, since laughing and yelling at the screen is a key part of the enjoyment. If you’d rather stay in and check out a film with some cool horror elements as well as comedy, check out the magnificent Wolf of Snow Hollow, on streaming and demand.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

BY THE EDITORS AT ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION Creepy

A TikTok user in New Jersey shared the unsettling scene that unfolded on June 10 as she pulled up carpet in her new home, the New York Post reported. “Ashley” showed followers the floorboards underneath the carpet, which appeared to show a bloodstained imprint of a human being and a chalk outline of a body, along with a 2018 date and a case number. “I wasn’t bothered knowing someone died in my new house,” Ashley said. Responding to comments on her video, Ashley tested the bloodstain by spraying hydrogen peroxide on it, which caused bubbling—a sure sign that the substance was blood, some said. Still, Ashley isn’t fazed: It “seems chill here. It’s all good.”

Inexplicable

The latest trend in plastic surgery in China, according to Gulf Today, is the pointy ear. The modified ears resemble those of animated characters or fairy tale creatures, and they give the face “a slender shape,” the site reported on June 17. Doctors first insert cartilage or an implant in the back of the ear, then fill it in with hyaluronic acid. Plastic surgery clinics in China are experiencing such great demand that patients have to get on waiting lists.

Fine Points of the Law

In December 2016, Cletus Snay hit a patch of black ice while driving in Bellevue, Ohio, and slammed into Matthew Burr’s mailbox. Doesn’t seem all that dramatic, but postal service guidelines specify that mailbox poles be able to break away, which Burr’s clearly did not do. Burr had installed an 8-inch metal pole, buried 3 feet in the ground and fortified with rocks and dry cement poured on top, News5Cleveland reported. This immoveable fixture caused Snay’s truck to roll and left him a quadriplegic. Attorney Kathleen St. John argued on June 16 to the Ohio Supreme Court that a property owner “is not justified in inflicting, without warning, bodily harm upon the person of a trespasser,” but Burr’s attorney, Doug Leak, calls the USPS recommendations “just guidelines” and said Burr was justified in reinforcing his mailbox after years of accidents and vandalism. The court is expected to rule soon.

Awesome!

Julia Yonkowski of Largo, Florida, only needed a $20 bill when she visited the ATM at Chase Bank on June 19, but she decided to check her balance while she was there. What she saw on the paper slip surprised her: a balance of $995,985,856. “I was horrified,” she told WFLA-TV. “I know most people would think they won the lottery, but I was horrified.” She’s tried several times to contact Chase, but she can’t get through to anyone. “I get tied up with their automated system and I can’t get a person,” she said. “I don’t know what to think.”

Crime Report

As 34-year-old Paul Kiyan let himself into the home of Mat and Monica Sabz in Bel Air, California, on June 20, Monica watched on Ring video and alerted her husband, who was at home. Kiyan was naked, KTLA-TV reported, and as he wandered around the house, he

helped himself to a shower and a pair of shorts. When Mat Sabz confronted him, Kiyan said the house was his. While he was there, Kiyan killed the couple’s two pet birds with his hands; police arrested him on several felony charges.

ing the world’s supply of natural vanilla beans. “Using microbes to turn waste plastics ... into an important commodity is a beautiful demonstration of green chemistry,” said Ellis Crawford of the U.K.’s Royal Society of Chemistry.

Unclear on the Concept

Overreaction

• Richard Turpin apparently just needed to borrow a truck, but he ended up with charges filed against him in Bratenhal, Ohio, on June 18. WJW-TV reported that a mail carrier parked his USPS van at the end of a driveway and walked up to the house to deliver the mail, giving Turpin a chance to jump in and take off. A witness saw the theft and called police, who caught up with Turpin a few miles away. When they asked him why he took the truck, he cryptically answered: “A U-Haul.” The police officer responded, “I don’t think that’s a U-Haul”—but surprise! Inside, they found a big-screen TV that hadn’t been in the truck earlier, according to the mailman. And no mail was missing. The mail carrier admitted he’d left the keys in the ignition. • A 35-year-old man from Emmaus, Pennsylvania, was presumably having a good time on June 20, sitting in his Dodge Ram truck and lighting fireworks, then throwing them out the window ... until he was critically injured by one that didn’t make it outside the cab. The exploding firework also did significant damage to the interior of the truck, lehighvalleylive.com reported, but didn’t cause a fire, Emmaus Police Chief Troy Schantz said.

What’s in a Name?

The Smoking Gun reported that on June 18, a woman in St. Petersburg, Florida, was arrested after allegedly drunkenly slamming her car into a tree, a Taco Bell sign and the store’s water meter, and then leaving the scene. The appropriately named Kanisha Booze, 34, is an employee at the Taco Bell. Police said Booze had “bloodshot, watery eyes, a dazed and blank expression on her face and an odor of an alcoholic beverage on her breath.”

Ewwwww

The Wellington Correctional Center in New South Wales, Australia, is being evacuated so that crews can clear the prison of dead and decaying mice and repair chewed electrical wiring, the Associated Press reported. Australia has been overrun with mice for months, which scientists say happens when rain follows several years of drought. Corrective Services Commissioner Peter Severin explained that “the mice have got into wall cavities, into roof spaces. They’re dead, but then they start obviously decaying and then the next problem is mites.”

Yeah, Science!

In a study published June 10 in the journal Green Chemistry, scientists at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland announced a breakthrough. They had genetically engineered bacteria to convert terephthalic acid—a compound left over when plastic-eating bugs (discovered in Japan in 2016) do their thing— to vanillin, the primary component of extracted vanilla beans that produces the taste and smell of vanilla. Global demand for the chemical is far outpac-

Thomas McCann, 49, of Stockport, England, was sentenced to prison for life on March 30 for the brutal murder of his wife, Yvonne, 46, in May 2020, following an argument over a bag of french fries left out of the freezer, according to court documents. The Guardian reported McCann strangled his wife in the bathroom, then dismembered her body and disposed of some of the parts in Reddish Vale Country Park, where dog walkers discovered her remains; other parts were taken to a recycling center. During this time, McCann texted their children, saying Yvonne had walked out on him. He was later spotted on video footage carrying trash bags to his car and while walking toward the park, and confessed the killing to police.

Sign of the Times

During the pandemic, demand for port-a-potties in Maine increased. Customers were renting them for longer periods, and factories that make them ran into manufacturing issues, WGMETV reported. As a result, South Portland is experiencing a critical deficit of the outdoor toilets. Supplier Royal Flush said they’re waiting for another shipment that was supposed to arrive in April, and new customers will have to take a back seat to returning customers until the backlog is resolved, probably in late June.

Deja Vu

It started as a joke on April 2, 2020, but after a month of Zoom meetings during which “Jackie,” a resident of Washington, D.C., wore the same Hawaiian shirt and received nary a comment from her oblivious co-workers, the prank became a social experiment with a momentum all its own. Jackie told the Daily Mail that on June 16, 2021, she celebrated her last day of work by confessing to having worn the shirt to 264 consecutive Zoom meetings during the pandemic. The reaction? “When I told my team that I had been wearing the same shirt, they didn’t know what I was talking about. They hadn’t noticed,” she said. “The intern literally said, ‘On purpose?’ So, there’s that.”

Lost and Found

When a painting fell off the wall at their country home in Rome in 2016, the owners sent it to an art restorer for repairs. But during the cleaning and restoration process, it became clear that this wasn’t just any painting: It was “The Adoration of the Magi” by Rembrandt, painted around 16321633 and long considered lost. Guido Talarico, president of the Italian Heritage Foundation, said the family that owns the painting has not expressed an interest in selling it, but that the work will eventually be made available to museums and galleries.

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