The Sweetest Treats

W

hat is it about Chesapeake Bay towns and … ice cream? An ice cream shop seems a requirement for any quaint town with a scenic waterfront to walk around. Annapolis? Check. St. Michaels? Check.

North Beach and Prince Frederick? Check, check.

It must be the versatility of ice cream. It’s a dessert, it’s a treat between meals, it’s an excellent food to carry around while window-shopping up and down the street. In some small towns, boutiques have had to put up signs asking folks to finish their ice cream before coming into the store. Mint-chocolate chip drippings and beautiful blouses don’t mix, I guess.

I had my first-ever ice cream cone in Annapolis (naturally) at age 3. At home, my mother was a 1980s health nut and only fed me organic foods. But just one time, we stopped for ice cream near City Dock.

Needless to say, that first chocolate ice cream cone was a shock to my sugar-deprived system and things didn’t end well. My mother recalls carrying me, kicking and screaming in a sugar-induced tantrum, when it was time to go home. As we passed an Annapolis

police officer, I shouted to him, “HELP MEEEE!” The officer must have had kids of his own, and simply gave my mother a knowing look.

Today, my ice cream experiences are much happier, and the flavors out there are much more fun than plain ol’ chocolate. They’re multi-scoop rainbows just begging to be photographed and posted in food selfies. They’re eyebrow-raising flavor combinations that work together surprisingly well. Some aren’t ice cream cones at all, they’re milkshakes, floats, or fro-yo.

In honor of National Ice Cream Day (mark your calendars—it’s this Sunday, July 18!) we’re picking some of the most popular and inventive frozen treats for sale in Chesapeake Country’s shops (page 12). In the depths of these 90-degree days, do yourself a favor and sample some!

And lest we forget what ice cream is really about, you can read the inspiring story of Mr. Solo’s ice cream truck—a community fixture in Crofton. His story (page 10) centers around the kindness of strangers— and shows how much the families in the community

At CBM Bay Weekly we make a point to tell the stories of such institutions—places that make a community stand apart from the rest. In Deale, one of those is Good Old Days Auto Service, which turned out to be more than just a place to get your car fixed (page 8). Now that it’s changing hands, the full impact of the family who ran it is being felt.

Speaking of community institutions, I’m planning to get my National Ice Cream Day treat at one of the best (and oldest) around.

WORLD WAR II CRASH RESCUE BOAT TO BE TRAVELING MUSEUM Passengers to board in Annapolis, Cambridge later this summer

BY CHERYL COSTELLO

A

n 85-foot wooden boat with a grim past will soon teach future generations on the Bay about the realities of World War II. The nation’s last operational, historically-correct crash rescue boat is in Cambridge, at the same yard that first built these boats.

CBM Bay Bulletin had a chance to see the U.S. Army crash boat come out of the water and take a tour before the public does.

At Yacht Maintenance Company in Cambridge, the P-520 was hauled out using one of the Bay’s last railways.

Yacht Maintenance Co. was formerly Cambridge Shipbuilders—where about 500 people worked in the 1940s to build wooden crash rescue boats. They’d rescue airmen from the water when their aircraft were shot down.

“This is an 85-foot crash boat. We built 14 of them here, and we built 13 of the

83-footers,” explains George Robinson, president of Yacht Maintenance Co. The P-520 recently arrived from California under her own power but suffered some damage that needed fixing when she got to Cambridge. Once repaired, the boat will serve as a traveling museum and visit other destinations on the Bay, like Annapolis.

CBM Bay Bulletin took a tour on board with volunteer consultant Ted Yadlowsky, who was instrumental in making Cambridge this boat’s homeport.

“We’re on the last fully operational and basically period-correct 85-foot crash boat. There are no more. She is the last,” Yadlowsky says.

He showed us the infirmary, where the crew would attempt to do surgery, in light of a harsh reality. “These boats were necessary to go out and rescue downed pilots. But in most cases, they were recovering bodies, so it was sort of a torment for the crew.”

“We’re on the last fully operational and basically period-correct 85-foot crash boat.”

—TED YADLOWSKY, VOLUNTEER CONSULTANT Alarms on board would alert the crew to danger on the water: one for taking fire, one for collision, one for chemical attack. The bunks slept a crew of 14 to 15 men. The P-520 could travel up to 45 knots.

The public will be able to get a look inside before the end of the summer, if Yadlowsky’s plans hold. He wants to offer ticketed rides in both Cambridge and Annapolis once the boat is fixed up and has proper inspections.

ASSATEAGUE PONY KILLED, FOAL INJURED BY HIT & RUN DRIVER

Photo: Lynn Fisher/ Assateague Island Alliance shore park employee found the 4-yearold mare named Moonshadow dead in the Oceanside Campground, from injuries apparently caused by a low-speed car crash the previous week along Bayberry Drive.

Park staff are monitoring her condition, but will allow her to stay in the wild.

Their names will be chosen by the public through a combination of auctions, raffles, and with input from the Assateague community. The annual naming of the foals is a key fundraiser organized by the Assateague Island Alliance, which advocates for the National Seashore’s Wild Horse Management Program.

In a social media post, the National Park Service wrote, “The NPS is committed to protecting the Assateague horses, now and forever. They are a treasured part of the Assateague experience.”

NPS is responsible for “maintaining a sustainable population” of the free-roaming herd of horses, while also allowing visitor recreation and access to the National Seashore. They ask everyone to slow down and drive with caution on Assateague’s roads, looking out for horses and other wildlife, and reporting any accidents to officers at the ranger station.

Unfortunately, vehicle strikes are one of the most common and deadly dangers for wildlife in parks. Since 1982, 53 horses have been hit by cars and of those, 35 have been killed. Five of them were hit and run accidents, never solved.

“Ultimately,” NPS says, “staying safe and keeping wildlife wild is up to you!”

fter sitting on the market for nearly a year, one of the Bay’s most pristine—and priciest—properties is hitting the auction block, with no base bidding price, on August 12.

Located at 1604 Winchester Road in Annapolis, the 23-acre estate overlooking the Severn was most recently listed by owners Steve Phillips, president and CEO of Phillips Seafood Restaurants and founder of Phillips Foods, and his wife, Maxine, for $24.9 million in August 2020.

Now it could belong to anyone— yes, even you!—who’s able to put a $100,000 deposit in escrow and pay up to 12 percent in premium costs following the six-day auction, which will be hosted by Concierge Auction.

“The pandemic was the major factor that created headwind for the sale of this listing,” Brad Kappel, who along with partner David DeSantis holds the listing for TTR Sotheby’s International Realty–Annapolis Brokerage, told CBM Bay Bulletin. “Property tours were severely limited and overseas buyer interest, which is a key segment of the affluent audience that this property would appeal to, was minimal due to quarantine restrictions. The auction platform, however, is designed to create wide-ranging interest, in essence ‘bringing’ the market to the listing, and has successfully procured numerous record-breaking sales.”

With that in mind, Kappel believes the property could very well become the most expensive home sold in Maryland.

“When you take into consideration the level of investment that the current owners have made, in terms of

Tony Spencer & The Sunset Band both time and money, this turn-key waterfront estate truly offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to own one of the finest properties on the East coast,” says Kappel. “The most expensive home ever sold in Maryland was $20 million, so this sale has the potential to break that record.”

Whether it takes the title or not, the property will provide its next owners with the same unique features that first led the Phillips, who are avid sailors, to purchase what was then an abandoned friary for $2.5 million in 2002. Among them: 270-degree views of the Severn River, over 1,500 feet of water frontage, and a six-slip deep-water pier.

“This is the perfect location for the boating enthusiast,” Kappel concludes.

But Kappel adds that, boater or not, anyone who wants to celebrate the Annapolis waterfront lifestyle will be impressed by the sheer size of the 26,000-square-foot Georgian home.

It comprises seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and 11 fireplaces, plus $32 million in unique features that the Phillipses added in a five-and-a-halfyear renovation their agent describes as “mammoth and complex.”

Some of the most eye-catching outdoor highlights include a restored chapel, 60-foot infinity edge pool, full outdoor kitchen, large teak pavilion in the forest, tennis court, roof garden, and small funicular (cable rail) running to and from the dock.

Inside, there’s every possible element for entertaining, from a commercial-grade gourmet kitchen, catering kitchen, and wine cellar to an oversized ballroom, conservatory, library, music room, paneled billiards room, and indoor pool and spa.

Beyond the eye candy, the home’s next inhabitants will have no shortage of discussion topics while hosting and hobnobbing thanks to the property’s

—BRAD KAPPEL, SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY– ANNAPOLIS BROKERAGE

you-can’t-make-this-stuff-up history.

Said to be a stopping point on the Underground Railroad due to its Severnside location, the property was bought in 1911 by E. Bartlett Hayward, a man who’d made his fortune casting shell casings for French field guns during World War I. Hayward built the mansion with a clear eye for fun, reportedly hosting epic cookoffs and poker games, and perhaps engaging in some bootlegging through the secret tunnel to the water that the Phillipses found shortly after buying the home.

Hayward sold in 1945, and in 1950 the home took on quite a different personality under the ownership of a group of Franciscan friars, though they introduced their own elements for fun: a bowling alley under the chapel, a waterside tennis court, and multiple massive outdoor pizza ovens. The property even had a short stint in 1989 as Yokahama Academy, a boarding school for Japanese boys, before community opposition forced it to close.

Whatever the future holds for 1604 Winchester, one thing’s for certain: it will have a new owner by August 19.

The only question is: who will the winning bidder be?!

Good Old Days closes shop in Deale

BY JILLIAN AMODIO

G

ood Old Days Auto Service in Deale has been more than just an auto repair shop. It has been a staple in the community, a hangout spot, and a beloved presence. After being at the shop for over 20 years, Daniel Helmly is selling the business and moving on to a slower pace of life with his wife Jennifer and their family.

Good Old Days has actually been around since 1985, and after coming on as an auto technician in 2000, Helmly quickly moved his way up to ownership. He says the reason behind the name isn’t that they work on old cars, but rather it pays homage to the type of service their customers can expect to receive. “We give you the type of attention and service you would have gotten back in the good old days.” Over the last two decades Helmly says the thing he has enjoyed most about the business is the ability to help people even beyond taking care of their car maintenance needs.

Jennifer Helmly has worked for the business full time for the last seven years at the front desk. “I have loved the social interaction and I always joke that it was like hosting a talk show

with all of the neighborhood talk,” she said. “Some neighbors would just come talk and hang out just because, even if they didn’t have a car being worked on.

It’s going to be sad to leave but it’s a good time for a transition.”

The decision to sell the business was not an easy one to come to, but after being told by his surgeon that he could not continue this type of work, he began to plan for the future. Helmly is scheduled for back surgery which will provide him with much-needed pain relief.

Staff and community came together last week for a goodbye party in Helmly’s honor. “Everybody came over with balloons, champagne, and presents and well wishes. They talked about all of the cleaning up and remodeling of the place that I had done over the years and how great I have built it up and expanded,” Helmly says.

Customers say he poured his heart into building and expanding—creating a top-notch auto repair shop, beautifully remodeled, and expanded from the original two auto bays to four.

The Helmlys say they will miss the hustle and bustle of the auto shop and recall fondly how they were known for being able to fix issues that other shops seem to have had trouble diagnosing or remedying.

Chesapeake Beach Receives $250,000 for Channel Dredging

BY KRISTA PFUNDER

T

he town of Chesapeake Beach will receive a grant for $250,000 from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Waterway Improvement Fund to dredge Fishing Creek.

Considered vital to the town’s economic development and local charter fishing, the Fishing Creek channel provides key access for town, Calvert County and Maryland residents.

“The Fishing Creek channel provides access to commercial fishermen and approximately 6,000 Maryland recreational boaters a year,” says Holly Wahl, town administrator for Chesapeake Beach. The funding enables that the town can use its location for dredge material placement and more of the federal funds can be used for dredging activities and jetty wall rehabilitation to keep the channel accessible.

The$250,000 will come as a reimbursement for the costs the town incurs from the work.

Chesapeake Beach has partnered with the Army Corps of Engineers and DNR to prepare for the federal dredging. The Corps of Engineers expects to

Helmly says AJ Neely of Neely Automotive is buying the building. He says that there is a sense of relief that comes with the sale, but also a sense of sadness. “Even though I am leaving behind the business, I still have the support of the community and that feels great.”

Jennifer shares the sentiment, saying that while they may not see their customers anymore in the shop, they are looking forward to more time spent

The expected cost to the federal government for this project, to include the jetty wall rehabilitation and the dredging, is $3 million. The town will shoulder 12 percent of the total project cost.

The access that the town provides to the Bay is a key element to the vitality of local businesses and improved property values for residents, Wahl says. “There are at least 20 charter boats docked in the town of Chesapeake Beach. The town was recently named a top fishing by spot nationally

The biggest thing the Helmlys say they want to leave with is a sense of gratitude to the community for their ongoing support and kindness.

Helmly is looking forward to starting a new job after recovering from surgery where he will be calibrating cameras in self-driving vehicles. “I won’t be doing any of the heavy lifting anymore, but I like the technical stuff too,” he says. “I am turning 60 in November and I still need something to keep me busy.”

“I’m just a dad with an ice cream truck”

This is not the first time the community has shown its support for Covington. About three years ago, his truck was robbed while he was in the bathroom at a local pool.

Barbaran launched a GoFundMe that raised $1,640 to recoup Covington’s losses and repair his truck at that time, too.

“The community rallied,” Covington says. “But at the same time, I had the opportunity to give back to the community [because] Berliner Distributors, where I buy my ice cream and park my truck, donated a whole bunch of ice cream so I could go down and give ice cream to a community where a little girl had been shot at while she was at an ice cream truck.”

Covington says he is “so humbled” that this same community is now raising money for his new truck.

“Before they even started the GoFundMe, they started a CashApp fundraiser that raised $500,” Covington says.

“And then on top of that, people have been walking up to my truck, not buying anything, just giving me money. I mean, I can’t put words to that.”

According to Barbaran, local moms in the Crofton Area Mommies Playgroup Facebook group speak of Covington

BY KERI LUISE often and “always jump to help when they hear his truck broke down again. It’s worth noting how willing the community of Crofton has been to help him.”

Covington is committed to regularly visit two pools, residentially requested at another two, and recently has picked up a fifth pool in the Crofton area.

“Five years ago I started something that I call Ice Cream Direct, and because it’s 2021 and everybody lives off their phones, everybody has my phone number,” Covington says. “I basically don’t have a route per se but at the same time I do stay dedicated to my pools because I am obligated there. And outside of that, I pretty much just follow my phone.”

Covington is hoping to put the money raised from the community GoFundMe fundraiser toward a Ford Transit 250 Tall. At press time, over $7,000 had been raised.

“USS Charlie will be retired, we will have a ceremony for it, I will throw a block party and introduce Mr. Solo Ice Cream as its very own entity,” Covington says. “I want something that I can take into the future.”

Covington takes his role in the lives of children seriously. Although he is the most active during summer, he made himself available for after-school treats for kids doing virtual learning during the pandemic. On his Mr. Solo website, he requests that all customers to the truck greet him and “in this small way, Mr. Solo reinforces the values of dignity, respect, and generosity.”

“The kids understand that in order to get anything off my truck, you have to say ‘Hi Mr. Solo,’ it’s just how we start a conversation,” Covington says. “I taught my kids that you start a conversation by saying ‘Hi,’ and then you go into whatever else you are gonna talk about.”

“If they say ‘Hi Mr. Solo,’ I give them some candy, even if they’re not buying anything. That way parents don’t always have to open their wallets when they hear the music. It gives the parents a break because then they can still bring the kids out to the truck to say hi and get something and they walk away and they’re not embarrassed in front of their friends or anyPhotos courtesy thing because everybody walks away AMILIES sit by the pool on E100 popsicle/ice cream truck that has Trayton Covington. with something.” been on the streets of Crofton for 30 years. a hot summer day and sudCovington’s values and life lessons “I’m not really an ice cream man, I’m denly crave a refreshing ice more of just a dad with an ice cream truck, and that’s how do not go unnoticed in the community.

STORY AND PHOTO BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

Cicada Aftermath

L

ast weekend, while driving through the Maryland countryside, I could see areas where trees had browning twigs—evidence of where cicada eggs were laid. Only the ends of the branches were affected and I did not see any trees that looked severely damaged. I would guess that the loss of these twigs could stimulate the tree to branch more which could be a good thing.

I was told of several unusual episodes involving the cicada brood this year. Several people who live in the county saw black rat snakes so full of cicadas that they could barely move. I did not find out if the snakes survived.

There also were discoveries of owl pellets loaded with cicada parts instead of the usual hair and bones from small mammals. Fox, raccoons and possum scat were also found to contain large amounts of cicadas. I personally saw squirrels, foxes, northern cardinals, blackbirds, grackles, crows and hawks eating cicadas.

I earlier wrote about how unusual bird species would come to our area while following the Brood X. On May 27, I saw three Mississippi kites at once make low passes over trees in Owensville. Kites reportedly made a nest in Rockville and apparently the eggs have hatched.

I also saw a common nighthawk flying around over the South River catching and eating cicadas. The most unusual

thing about that sighting was that it happened in the middle of the day.

The recent bird illness CBM Bay Weekly reported on seems to have occurred at the same time of the cicada emergence. The illness appears to be receding, which corresponds to the end of the Brood X adult lifespan. Since the illness does not completely match the regions of cicada emergence and was first recognized in April— before the emergence— the illness does not completely match Brood X. Researchers so far have not been able to find any infectious disease as the cause.

The illness causes a neurological illness and crusty eyes with apparent blindness. It seems to affect young birds more than adults. It has been noted that the cicadas lived for 17 years underground with potential exposure to pesticides and other toxins as well as unique infectious diseases from fungus.

If you see an ill or dead bird, call the hotline for reporting the sighting: DNR/ USDA Wildlife hotline at 877463-6497.

Beauty of Bee Balm

W

ith terminal clusters of crimson, scarlet or purple flowers that look like fireworks, one of our most beautiful native plants has to be Monarda didyma or bee balm.

Monardas are members of the mint family. Butterflies and hummingbirds flock to its nectar-rich flowers, which bloom mid-summer. Cultivars have been selected with a range of pink, red, and purple flowers. Some cultivars are hybrids with another native species, Monarda fistulosa, which has clusters of violet flowers and sweetly aromatic foliage. Monarda fistulosa is better known as wild bergamot and it prefers open, drier settings.

Bee balm prefers moist soil, partial sun to partial shade, is easily grown from seed and can grow to about 3 or 4 feet tall. It’s also very easy to divide.

It is important to note that it can take over less robust plants in moist soils.

Their natural range is Maine to Michigan, south to New Jersey, West Virginia and Ohio, and along the mountains of Northern Georgia.

Monarda was used by Native Americans in Oswego, New York, to flavor their beverages, leading to it also being called Oswego tea. Other common names include horse mint and bergamot, the latter inspired by the

scent of the leaves which smell like bergamot orange. Bergamot orange is used to flavor Earl Grey tea.

Several species of bee balm are used medicinally with the crushed leaves exuding a fragrant essential oil. The flowers can be plucked from the stem and put into salad as an edible flower with an oregano taste. The stems with flowers can be cut and dried and made into tea.

In aromatherapy, the essential oil is used as a calmative, anti-depressant and anxiety reducer. Native Americans used bee balm extensively as a medicinal plant.

The essential oil of Oswego tea consists of linalool, 1,8-cineole, limonene, gamma-terpinene and para-cymene providing a medicinal lavender-eucalyptus odor.

Monarda fistulosa contains geraniol and a great deal of thymol, an antiseptic that is the active ingredient in Listerine, the popular mouthwash.

Monarda didyma is a hardy perennial. Downy mildew on the leaves can be unsightly but does not seem to damage the plant. “Cambridge Scarlet” and “Raspberry Wine” are two beautiful cultivars to try. Monarda x media or hybrid bee balm represents a large portion of the monardas available in garden centers. It includes some cultivars such as “Blue Stocking”, “Mahogany” and “Petite Delight” which is a dwarf hybridization of Monarda didyma and Monarda fistulosa p

Better Perch Baits A s we drifted near the drop offs, bouncing hi-lo rigs with a fat grass shrimp on the bottom hook and a bloodworm on the top hook, we could pick up heavy, black-backed perch up to 11 inches, decently large Norfolk spot and an occasional keeper hardhead. They kept our light rods bent over and our reels singing.

Unfortunately, more fish moved in and we soon began to hook up much

smaller fish of those species and they seemed determined to suicide on our rigs. We were eventually spending more time re-baiting our lines than fishing and in danger of running out of shrimp and worms.

It may be wise to remember when you’re cleaning up your last batch of fresh perch, spot or croaker, to hesitate before you throw the offal into the garbage. Those shiny silver bellies you T HURS D AY

The rockfish season, including catch and release, is closed from July 16 through the end of the month. When water FISHFINDER temps and air temps get in their summer ranges the mortality rate of rockfish released back in the water can reach 90 percent. After the season resumes August 1 anglers are advised to avoid fishing for rockfish after 10a.m. if DNR Red Advisories (air temps forecast in the mid-90s) are in effect. white perch are schooling well in the mouths of the tribs and holding at 15 to 20 feet and there are a fair number of big norfolk spot as well as a few hardheads. They’ll all take worms, shrimp, clams and crab. crabbing is still very inconsistent and not near the DNR prediction for this season but half baskets are possible with some effort. The resource managers never seem to figure out that a robust female population is the key to everything. Maybe next year. trimmed off the meaty fillets or thick bodies of your pan fish will make excellent baits if you prepare them correctly.

When cut into 4-inch long, narrow, flexible triangles, those tough cuts will outproduce anything for keeper-sized fish, even including soft crab. A 3- to 4-inch belly strip from perch, spot or croaker is a deadly bait to drift over the bottom.

When you’re bottom or drift fishing for Bay pan fish these days, it’s important to remember the little guys will often far outnumber reasonably keeper-sized swimmers. This means having to constantly unhook the more eager rascals to throw them back, and then having to re-bait your hooks or lures. When using softer and more delicate baits like razor clams, grass shrimp, bait shrimp and soft crab, it becomes quite irritating and even expensive.

A homemade strip bait made from fish belly, trailed behind a spinner or small spoon and weighted to stay near the bottom can often result in more keeper-sized fish. The longer strip bait cannot be engulfed to the hook by the smaller fish and the baits are far tougher and immune to bite-offs.

You can feel the smaller fellows hitting the strips over and over but they won’t often hookup until a bigger fish takes over. And the strips will easily last for multiple fish before they need changing to renew their scent and taste. This maximizes the time your baits stay in the sweet zone.

You can also dose these baits with popular enhancers and attractants such as Pro-Cure, Berkley’s many scent products, as well as handy and effective kitchen supplies such as garlic, anise oil or anything your grandad used to sweeten the bite.

The baits will also last longer if you’ve fortified them with salt and while it’s a bit messy it also toughens them and holds in scent in much longer. Also keep in mind that many fresh and saltwater species including the perch and croakers are shameless and savage consumers of the young of their own kind and this can take advantage of that ugly tendency.

But just a simple belly strip bait on its own can save the day just as it has for me on multiple occasions. It’s the only solution I’ve come up with when the bottom is teeming with teenies but there’s still lunkers lurking about. p

THE MOVIEGOER

BY DIANA BEECHENER

Director Steven Soderbergh has a long history of making caper films, so No Sudden Move is clearly familiar territory for the filmmaker. But while most of Soderbergh’s other crime thrillers have been comedic romps driven more by charisma than story, this film is a little more complex.

Don Cheadle and Benicio Del Toro in No Sudden Move.

No Sudden Move

A simple job goes spectacularly wrong in this thriller AVAIL ABLE ON HBOMAX

F

resh out of jail and in need of some quick cash, Curt Goynes (Don Cheadle: Black Monday) takes what seems to be a pretty easy job. Mysterious money man Doug Jones (Brendan Fraser: Doom Patrol) is putting together a crew: He needs three guys for a simple caper. Curt and his compatriots are to break into the home of Matt Wertz (David Harbour: Black Widow), a banker with access to a secret safe. One man will follow Matt to work while he empties said safe of the McGuffin, while the others wait at home with Matt’s family to ensure the

banker behaves. It’s a half day’s work total, for a whole lot of scratch.

It’s also way too good to be true.

Curt starts to have misgivings when he meets the rest of the crew. Ronald Russo (Benicio Del Toro: Dora and the Lost City of Gold) is a washed-up mobster whose racist attitudes are an immediate source of friction. Charley (Kieran Culkin: Succession) is a hood with no past, who knows the backgrounds of Curt and Ronald, but won’t offer up any information on his own.

Though he can’t trust his co-criminals, Curt needs the money. He’s got two crime bosses looking for him and a limited amount of time to get out of town with his head on his shoulders.

So, Curt takes the job and hopes for the best.

When the job goes pear-shaped, the trio must improvise to keep themselves alive and get their payday. Is there a happy ending to be found or is there truly no honor among thieves?

Director Steven Soderbergh has a long history of making caper films— his biggest box office successes have arguably been the Oceans 11 franchise and the classic Out of Sight—so No Sudden Move is clearly familiar territory for the filmmaker. But while most of Soderbergh’s other crime thrillers have been comedic romps driven more by charisma than story, this film is a little more complex. Think of No Sudden Move as a mashup of Chinatown’s fatalistic worldview with the irreverence of The Italian Job. The world Soderbergh creates is completely out of the control of our lead characters. They don’t have the means to make changes, they can only react and try to survive. Curt is wildly swinging for the fences, trying to improve his situation—so far, those attempts have just landed him in jail. Ronald is cautious to a fault, but hasn’t fared much better than Curt in the game of life. Soderbergh emphasizes their plight by using a fisheye lens that distorts the frame and warps the edges like you’re looking at the world through a peephole in a door. This makes the frame swim, showing just how constantly changing

and uncertain the character’s lives are. When Soderbergh films someone with real power (like an executive banker), he plays it straight, and suddenly the frame slots into place and all the world seems right again. No Sudden Move isn’t a world that’s kind to people struggling, only those who’ve succeeded.

While the film may have a bit of a nihilistic point of view, Soderbergh keeps things light. Both Cheadle and Del Toro offer spry, funny performances that never cross into parody.

Cheadle’s Charley is a deft operator.

He can quickly read a situation and react accordingly. Del Toro’s Ronald, on the other hand, is a bit of a brooder.

He can’t seem to decide when to make a move or how far he can go. Together, the two balance each other out, if they can only stop arguing long enough to realize it.

Like any good caper, there’s a twist or 12. Soderbergh loves a good reveal, so he throws a handful in along the way. None of the reveals upend the story, it’s more like a nod to the genre he’s playing in. You need a twist?

Soderberg has six, enjoy. But the real fun of No Sudden Move is the craft, in writing, acting, and directing. These are people at the top of their game playing in a genre they love. It’s intoxicating to watch, even if you don’t keep track of the McGuffin.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

BY THE EDITORS AT ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Chris Langston, 48, a metal detectorist in Oswestry, England, stumbled upon a creepy find as he was exploring the woods near his home on June 30. Langston first saw a pile of broken dishes, but upon further digging, he unearthed a clear bottle that appeared to contain urine, along with hair and a human tooth.

According to Metro News, archaeologists say such bottles were used to keep spells and curses from entering homes as long ago as the 1600s. “I had my camera in my hand and in the video you can see me shaking as I just wanted to put it down,” Langston said. “I did a bit of research online and discovered it was a witch bottle. I went back the following day and placed it in an undisturbed part near the area where I found it and buried it slightly just to avoid any bad juju. I did get a bit creeped out by it all.”

Unclear on the Concept

• The Bloomington (Minnesota) Police Department is having the books thrown at it after calling people who take volumes from Little Free Libraries “thieves.”

In early July, the department posted on Twitter: “After some thefts from little libraries in our city, officers and staff came together to donate a bunch of books to the libraries. Now people can use and enjoy them again.” But Fox News reported that people weren’t buying it: “How can you steal something free, officers?” one responder wrote. The BPD also tweeted that someone had been taking the books to sell for profit, which also invited scorn. Finally, the department admitted that using the word “theft” was “a human error,” and apologized.

• A woman from West Yorkshire, England, called in sick to work so that she could attend the Euro semifinal soccer game in London on July 7, Metro News reported. Nina Farooqi, 37, thought her

Latest Religious Message?

In Los Angeles on July 7, an unidentified man climbed atop the St. Mary’s Catholic Church bell tower and set fire to a cross, then eluded police as he jumped from roof to roof and rappelled down buildings, Fox News reported. The man, who was shirtless and missing one sock, also used wires above the area to climb up buildings.

Finally, police caught up with him and he was transferred to a local hospital.

Awesome!

About 400 couples gathered over the first weekend in July in Lincolnshire, England, for activities and entertainment including an adult bouncy castle, a cigar lounge, clay pigeon shooting and an outdoor theater—oh, and a Mr. and Mrs. Swingathon contest, wet T-shirt competition and fetish demonstrations. The festival was promoted to swinging couples through FabSwingers, an app that brings together interested parties, Metro News reported. Guests enjoyed four-person luxury yurts with hot tubs, billed to the local council as a “private camping club.”

Neighbors were mostly unfazed: “I would be the first to call the police if it was disturbing me, but if it floats their boat, then let them get on with it,” one said.

Hand-Tossed

On May 23, when the 20-year-old daughter of Vero Beach, Florida, resident Tyler Worden, 41, declined her father’s invitation to eat the pizza he had brought to her home, the elder Worden became angry and “turned around and threw a slice of pizza at her, striking her in the face,” according to the arrest affidavit filed by the Indian River Sheriff ’s Office. After Worden refused to leave, his daughter called the police, who noted the pizza toppings strewn across the entryway, the tomato sauce on the left side of the woman’s face and the strong scent of alcohol on Worden’s breath. The pizza hurler was placed under arrest on charges of battery.

Drunk Buffalo

The RTE reported on July 7 that three farmers in the Gujarat state of India were arrested for selling alcohol, and their buffalo gave them away. Police official Dilipsinh Baldev said the animals were acting “strangely and their mouths started frothing,” so one of the men called the veterinarian. The vet took a look at the water trough where the buffalo had been drinking and

Chutzpah

During the Scottish Open on July 9, a spectator “entered the 10th tee area” and removed a golf club from Rory McIlroy’s bag, then took a few swings with it, the Associated Press reported. McIlroy reportedly watched, bemused, before the man was escorted from the course by security officers. Golfers Jon Rahm and Justin Thomas were also on the tee. One witness told The Scotsman newspaper, “The players laughed it off, saying they knew he wasn’t a golfer when they saw his grip.”

noticed the water was colored and had a “strange smell.” Turns out the farmers had hidden their moonshine bottles at the bottom of the trough, but some had broken. The buffalo were drunk. The vet informed police, who raided the farm and confiscated 100 bottles of alcohol.

Bad Juju?

company would be short-staffed that day, and therefore probably wouldn’t let her have the day off. But when her photos popped up on the BBC, her employer called her and said not to bother coming in the next day. “I didn’t get any sympathy at all and they said ‘That’s it.’ We’re through to the final, I’m still on that high, but I’ve also lost my job,” Farooqi said. “I’d do it all over again. Football is my life.”

T

On July 3, Andover Township (New Jersey) police received a call about a dead body found under a deck in the town. “The detective and officers began to check the area under the deck when they did indeed confirm a deceased (human) body was contained within the doghouse,” police said, according to Law & Crime. Two days later, Brian Cheda-Hackembruch, 25, and Matthew R. Thomas, 27, were arrested for disturbing or desecrating human remains—but not with murder. It appears the deceased was a resident of Hopatcong, New Jersey, who died from a “medical emergency.”

Cheda-Hackembruch and Thomas placed the body in the trunk of a car belonging to the victim, then called a towing company to have the car moved to Andover.

Then, the two allegedly moved the body to the doghouse belonging to an unsuspecting family. Police didn’t clarify the relationship of the victim to the suspects or any motive for their elaborate plan.

New World Order

Ailurophobia sufferers, beware! In Tokyo, just in time for the 2021 Olympics, an enormous 3D calico cat is towering over the street, CBS News reported. Every few minutes, the cat appears, seemingly in a box on the side of a building, flicking its tail, meowing and licking its lips. The feline, created by digital marketing firm Cross Space, has gained 17,000 followers on its Twitter account and can be seen in a livestream on YouTube.

The Way the World Works

Workers at a McDonald’s restaurant in California made a splash on social media on June 27 with their extreme and unusual resignation. They left a blunt handwritten note behind: “Everyone quit. We are closed,” then posted a video of the empty restaurant on TikTok. The Daily News reported that TikTok user @ zoey.isback clarified: “Y’all, we didn’t quit from our pay. The store was ran by teenagers and it was a terrible workspace.”

Wait, What?

William Ben Darby, a former Huntsville, Alabama, police officer, was convicted two months ago of murder for fatally shooting a man who was threatening suicide. But, AL.com reported, the city is still paying his salary as he awaits sentencing on Aug. 20, as he is technically on family and medical leave. In fact, the city has allegedly asked other police officers to donate their accrued sick leave to Darby, identifying him as an unnamed employee with a medical condition. “We have an employee who would like to receive donated leave but has elected to leave their name and medical condition off the request,” read an email from Chief Mark McMurray. McMurray denies sending the email and said his assistant might have forwarded it from human resources.
