Let’s Hear it for the Bay: Celebrating the Nation’s Largest Estuary

I

t’s the first week in June, known in these parts as Chesapeake Bay Awareness Week.

Designated by the Environmental Protection Agency’s Chesapeake Bay Program, it’s a week’s worth of events (find them at chesapeakebay.net/ action/attend) held annually to “celebrate the culture, history and natural beauty” of this unique body of water.

It’s fitting, then, that we would stop to take a closer look at the waterways that entwine the places where we live, work, and play.

The marsh that flashes through the trees as you drive by on the highway, the small stream seen on your neighborhood walk, the bridge you cross everyday to get to work: it’s all connected to our big, beautiful Bay. The CBM Bay Weekly/Chesapeake Bay Media team had the good fortune to take a cruise through Kent Narrows last Friday on a “tiki barge”—a floating tiki hut with barstools created by the clever entrepreneurs at Sip Ahoy. (Forget golf outings— this is what we call office bonding!)

There we were, a bunch of Chesapeake Bay media professionals, floating around on the very body of water we cover day in and day out. No matter

how familiar the subject matter, we couldn’t help but take in the Bay’s beauty and significance.

“Ooh, cormorant!” we squealed, when a shiny dark bird alit on a piling.

Duck blinds dotted the shorelines of creeks, reminding us of the Eastern Shore waterfowl tradition.

What will this year’s Bernie Fowler “sneaker index” water clarity test find?

Chesapeake Bay Magazine editor Jeff Holland pointed out a spit of land in the distance: “And there’s the site of the first (permanent) English settlement in Maryland,” he recalled, established in 1631 by fur trader William Claiborne.

The rich history, the wildlife, the scenery … all of this is why Chesapeake Bay Awareness Week exists, and why we should care about it.

One person who cared about it a great

deal was former Maryland Senator Bernie Fowler—famous for measuring the health of the Patuxent River with his “sneaker index”. With all sorts of modern data available, Fowler still used the simple water clarity measure of how far he could wade into the water and still see his white sneakers on the bottom.

The Bay lost Bernie Fowler last December at age 97, and this weekend will be the first time in 35 years that he won’t lead the annual Wade-In at Jefferson Patterson Park. In this issue of Bay Weekly, editor emeritus Sandra Olivetti Martin recalls Fowler’s impact—forcing leaders to pay attention to Bay health.

What will this year’s “sneaker index” water clarity test find? Will it bring good news, like the historic high of 47 inches of visibility in 2019 … or disappointment, like 2021’s meager 34 inches?

We’ll report on the results this weekend, but in the meantime, we’ll draw inspiration from Bernie Fowler, who vowed never to give up on the health of his river and Bay. p —MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM EDITORIAL DIRECTOR

POWERBOAT CRASH CLAIMS LIFE OF COLLEGE STUDENT

boating accident sent six people into the water on the West River on Saturday evening, and a 21-year-old man lost his life in the crash.

Maryland Natural Resources Police (NRP) say a white center-console struck the piling of a channel marker in the river near Parish Creek around

6 p.m. The impact caused all six people on board to fall into the water. But one failed to resurface, NRP says.

Emergency responders, officers, and divers all searched the area for the missing boater, including the Coast Guard, Anne Arundel County Fire Department, and Maryland State Police.

Officers recovered his body from the water later that evening. He has been

BEACH WARNING: RAYS ON THE MOVE

ownose rays are back in the Chesapeake Bay. Their movements are beautiful, but they can cause some discomfort if you encounter them in the water. A little girl swimming in the Chesapeake Bay learned that the hard way, as her mother tells Bay Bulletin.

A drone operator shared video with us from the Bay in St. Leonard over Memorial Day weekend—dozens of rays visible from above, just off the beach where swimmers were splashing around.

That’s where Elena Amaya, 7, was playing with her friends before she ended up in the emergency room from a brush with a stingray.

“It felt like I kicked a rock,” Elena tells us. Her mom, Janae Amaya, says she also believed Elena had brushed See RAYS on next page

identified as Nick Barton, 21, of Crofton in Anne Arundel County.

Word traveled quickly on social media among those who knew Barton, a lacrosse player who played midfield at Anne Arundel Community College.

According to the player roster, he was a Dean’s List student who contributed 39 goals and nine assists in 29 career games over three seasons.

A Gofundme page raising money for a scholarship fund in Barton’s name had more than $19,000 in donations

by Wednesday morning. Family friend Catherine Conway Castro writes, in part, “There are some kids that are just magnetic and happy souls that everyone really likes—that was Nick.”

NRP says the investigation into the crash and Barton’s death is ongoing.

RAYS from page 4

“There was like a little scrape on her toe and then above her toe was where the puncture wound was,” Janae explains.

The family showed us a picture of what was removed from Elena’s foot: the barb from a cownose ray, about the same size and shape as the thorn from a rose. It was right on the knuckle of her foot.

Janae called poison control after the foot started to swell from the venomous barb. “They route you to someone in your area when you call poison control.

She said that was her third stingray sting call of the day and she had never gotten one before in her entire career.”

Elena was prescribed antibiotics for a week and was all smiles by the time we spoke with her. But her family now knows to be on the lookout for rays.

Perry Hampton, curator of estuarine biology at Calvert Marine Museum, says it’s prime time for cownose rays to be found in the Bay. We’ll be seeing them from now through October, when the water gets too cold for them.

Cownose rays prefer saltier water and it’s not uncommon to find a bunch of them together.

Janae Amaya says when fellow beachgoer Carlos Gautier flew his drone above the beach in St. Leonard, the sea floor was covered with stingrays.

“They do tend to be found often in very large numbers like this, schools if you will,” Hampton says.

He explains that rays are bottom feeders, going after clams and oysters—which is how Elena’s foot tangled with one.

“The ray is just acting defensively.

It doesn’t like having a foot pushing down on its head, so it rears back with a barb.”

Hampton says there are things we can do to minimize our chances of being stung, like doing the “stingray shuffle.”

You keep your feet on the bottom and you’re less likely to be stung. “As you shuffle your feet, they’re more likely to sense that you’re nearby. And they’ll get up and they’ll move away. They’ll feel the pressure wave from your foot moving,” he says.

Seven-year-old Elena has her own advice for swimming in the Bay this summer: “Stay away from the ‘rocks’,” she says with a giggle.

ANNAPOLIS TO BERMUDA OCEAN RACE UNDERWAY AFTER TROPICAL STORM DELAY

BY DUFFY PERKINS

T

he Atlantic hurricane season’s very first named storm, Tropical Storm Alex, shaped up just in time for the Annapolis to Bermuda Ocean Race—and the storm’s track was headed right towards Bermuda. But after a one-day delay, the racers were off.

A bucket list experience for many Chesapeake Bay sailors, the Mustang Survival Annapolis to Bermuda Ocean Race kicked off on Saturday, June 4, sending a fleet of 25 on a mad dash to the Onion Patch.

The Annapolis to Bermuda is a special race for East Coast sailors due to the unique nature of the event. The course includes both an inshore and an offshore portion, necessitating a greater skillset than many offshore races. As such, the 753-mile race is popular with sailors who aren’t necessarily your regatta regulars. Cruisers and amateurs are encouraged to take on the challenge.

The Annapolis to Bermuda has been co-sponsored by Eastport Yacht Club in Annapolis and the Royal Hamilton See RACE on next page

However, a quick on-the-water repair was possible and the schooner is motoring down the Bay to catch the fleet for the offshore portion.

Accessible Boating Center Breaks Ground

BY NOAH HALE

O

n Tuesday morning, the nonprofit Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating (CRAB) celebrated the start of construction on their new facility with the help of water-access advocates.

The sod-turning ceremony marks the latest step in CRAB’s mission to provide anyone with a disability, wounded warriors, and underserved communities the chance to experience the joy of sailing. Since its founding in 1991 by Don Backe, CRAB has operated from the

public docks in Sandy Point State Park.

While it currently provides instruction to more than 1,000 visitors every year, the new facility on Back Creek will enable the volunteer staff to serve even more people—almost double, in fact.

But that’s only one of the many features that the building will have to offer; in addition to the extra space and its outstanding view of the creek, the design calls for some eco-friendly amenities including solar panels and an electrical vehicle charging station.

“It’s a contemporary, modern, airy-type building,” said contractor Joseph Brown.

And it’s not just the building that will be so up-to-date. The newly-built floating See CRAB on next page

docks will have something of their own to show off: a 45-foot steel bridge, designed to be wide enough to enable two wheelchairs to pass each other, gently slopes down to the ipe-wooden docks. There’s enough space for 16 boats, including a Martin 16 that has a state-of-the-art “sip and puff” steering system that allows a quadrapeligic skipper to adjust the sails and move the tiller. There will also be equipment that will assist passengers

For many Annapolitans, the opportunity to go sailing has long been inaccessible to them, but CRAB recognizes the need for some way of getting them out on the water, and in their own inventive way, they do.

They’re part of the future of sailing.

Mayor Gavin Buckley gave his own thoughts on this in a short speech at the groundbreaking: “In Annapolis, getting on the water is a human right. This [the new facility] is something we should all be proud of—this is a symbol of who we are.”

After a few more short speeches, the mayor and eight others dug their shovels into the site of the innovative boating center in celebration of the project’s movement forward.

Situated next to the Eastport Yacht Center, the mural offers a refreshing splash of color in an otherwise dull spot.

Chesapeake Hero BERNIE FOWLER’s Last Will and Testament

Never Say

NEVER T

BY S A N D R A OL I V E T T I M A RT I N

HINGS WILL BE different on Sunday, June 12, when Bernie Fowler’s historic Wade-In tests the clarity of the Patuxent River for the 34th time. This year, Bernie won’t be in the center of the human chain that wades right in for an annual checkup on the health of his beloved river. The legendary champion of the river reached the end of his 97-year life on December 12, 2021.

The Wade-In continues this year, and Fowler’s example lives on. For it takes single-minded determination to knock, bang and ram against doors that stay closed.

Bernie Fowler had that kind of determination. He was a man who wouldn’t take no for an answer. Persistence made Fowler a hero of the five-decade-long effort to restore the Chesapeake watershed.

NEVER

SAY NEVER

Chesapeake bard Tom Wisner started him on his way with a song: “Bernie Fowler Day: A Guide to Wading in the Southern Maryland Waters.”

“It came ‘round to Bernie Fowler And he stood among the best.

He said, “folks, if you’ll bear with me, I think I got a test.”

10 • CBM BAY WEEKLY • June 9 - June 16, 2022

“I think I have a measure That can’t be beat You just wade out in the river And look down to see your feet.”

Chesapeake chronicler Tom Horton put Fowler’s Wade-In in National Geographic magazine. Wade-Ins caught on throughout the watershed.

Politicians—county commissioners,

Maryland legislators, a succession of Maryland governors, U.S. Congressman Steny Hoyer, U.S. Senator Barbara Mikulski, Environmental Protection Agency administrators; scientists, citizens, school children—all joined in getting their feet wet.

This year, organizers say they are unsure which officials might turn out.

With many allies, Fowler campaigned

for half a century to make the Patuxent River the Chesapeake’s—and the nation’s—model for restoration.

He was a man who wouldn’t take no for an answer.

The Measure of a Man Fowler’s stubborn streak started early and lasted long.

At 24, he was not long back from ser-

vice in the Pacific in World War II when love motored into his life. He’d left the grind of Washington, D.C. to return home to rural Calvert County. He’d worked at a boat rental operation as a kid, and that was the business he chose for his first entrepreneurial venture, with a $4,000 G.I. Bill loan for start-up money. Bernie’s Boats had a fleet of 28 rowboats, eight Johnson outboard mo-

tors and a snack shop where his mother served 35-cent crabcake sandwiches, from crab she’d picked herself.

Down to Bernie’s Boats for an excursion on the Patuxent River came a family with a 16-year-old daughter. Within hours, Bernie knew Betty was the girl for him. Within months, he’d convinced her and her family.

Thus began, Fowler said, “a romance

that never ended” and a Wade-In partner for decades.

Before romance, before the war, Bernie had already proved himself a fellow who could turn no into yes. He became the first member of his family to graduate from high school.

“Boys didn’t go to high school from Broomes Island,” he told me in one of our many interviews over three decades.

“You got old enough to see over the culling board, you tonged oysters. The philosophy was, ‘Send them up [to school] and you’re going to ruin them. They won’t know how to do anything.’ You worked the river, farmed or didn’t eat.”

Bernie proved the common wisdom wrong. From both school and service, he came back home, back to the river— with ideas.

For the Love of the Patuxent The Patuxent River was Fowler’s other lifelong romance, one Betty might have looked on jealously were she that kind of a woman.

“The Patuxent was one of the most productive rivers in the Chesapeake watershed,” Bernie told me. “People

called the river a breadbasket and meat house.” It fed his family—his whole county—during the Great Depression.

When banks closed their doors, locking people’s money inside, the Patuxent “in its goodness and kindness,” gave them fish, crab and oysters,” he said.

“You stood on the sand and could look in the river and see big jumbo crabs 20 feet away hidden in the grass or behind an old tin can.” Crabs were the family’s food and income.

Back in those days, Fowler’s “dear, generous river” ran clear, 115 miles from its source in the hills of Maryland’s Piedmont to its confluence with the Chesapeake.

Between 1946 and 1966, as the Patuxent degraded, Fowler became a successful, diversified businessman with a family. But he couldn’t forget “the affection I had for the kindness the river showed.” He became the river’s champion. “It was a project I really had my heart in,” he said.

Doing that brought him to a door on which he never imagined knocking.

“There were two things I didn’t want to do: be a politician and sell booze for a living,” he told me. “I never sold booze, but I did renege on the other.”

12 • CBM BAY WEEKLY • June 9 - June 16, 2022

Politics Beckons Fowler ran for county school board in 1962, and Calvert voters said yes. He stayed in politics from 1963 to 1994.

“I was almost forced to by issues going on in Calvert County,” he told me.

By 1970—after six years on the School Board—Fowler campaigned for a seat on the Calvert County Board of Commissioners on a promise to clean up the Patuxent, which, he often said, had become one of the most polluted rivers on the East Coast. A big part of the problem was upriver sewage treatment plants discharging what later came to be called point-source pollution.

Nitrogen and phosphorus from imperfect sewage treatment fed fast-spreading algal blooms, which used up oxygen.

Oysters, one of the indicators of healthy water, could not survive as sediment covered their beds and disease moved in.

“We’ve lost an important part of our culture,” Fowler said. “So in 1970, when I was elected into the County Commissioners, the river was one of my hot buttons.”

As a Calvert commissioner, Fowler had his platform.

“My first act, I went up to Annapolis, and I visited Gov. Marvin Mandel, “ he recalled.

“I spoke to the attorney general, then the

head of DNR. ‘If we lose the river, we lose the Bay,’ I said, ‘and Maryland loses its heart.’ All I got was a pat on the back.”

Even turned back from the doors of power, Fowler was determined not to take no for an answer. At the Tri-County Council, representing Calvert, Charles and St. Mary’s, regional planners listened.

“I made a passionate speech. ‘The river is dying, oysters and fish are going to leave,’ I said. ‘We can build a monument: Here lies the Patuxent River.

Or we can flex our muscles, put some money together, hire an environmental attorney and see if we have any recourse in court.’” Three or four people took their handkerchiefs out.

“One of them jumped up and said, ‘Right! We’ll get nowhere ‘til you sue the bastards.’” They did, starting in 1977.

“We won two suits. We forced Howard County to do an environmental impact statement on its water treatment plant.

In the bigger suit, against the state and the federal EPA, the judge said they had to make a plan to fix up the river, not assist growth.”

With political and scientific persuasion, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency acknowledged nitrogen, compounded by phosphorus, was messing

Sue Kullen w. Betty and Bernie in 2010. Photo: Bill Lambrecht. up the river’s ecosystem.

Money flowed into taking the nitrogen out of the effluent of a major sewage treatment plants along the river. The strategy was to see whether one plant made a difference. Along the river were nine more major plants for a total of 35 all together.

Sewage treatment plant upgrades, combined with a host of new pollution-reduction programs, showed success. Between 1985 and 2005, nitrogen in the Patuxent decreased by 26 percent, phosphorus by 46 and sediment by 35 percent—despite ever-increasing residential and commercial development.

Finally, a decade into the fight, Fowler had heard a “yes” on behalf of his beloved river.

He was also gaining traction in the political realm: In 1982, he was elected to the Maryland State Senate. He should have been happy. But a primary goal was elusive: He wanted Maryland to put many of its environmental eggs— its state and federal resources—into one pot: the Patuxent River.

The Patuxent would become the laboratory for Baywide restoration—even as the river’s health continued to decline.

So Fowler and his musician friend Tom

Wisner came up with a new strategy, the Wade-In. Wisner wrote a song to go with it.

“You just wade out in the river, give it all you got Right up to your chest.

And then you pick your spot.”

“Next you take your peepers And cast them slowly down On the day we see our feet again There’ll be celebration in this town.”

In 1988, in a human chain that linked Fowler, Wisner and an increasing number of allies, Fowler began the stunt that would become known far and wide: the Wade-In. The unscientific method involves walking from the shore into the Patuxent until Fowler’s white sneakers are no longer visible. A yardstick is fetched, and for many years Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer has measured how many inches up Bernie’s pants legs the river rose before his sneakers disappeared. The result is graphed in highs and lows in the-now famous Bernie Fowler Sneaker Index.

Fowler’s children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren all have been links in the human chain. This year, a member of his family will lead the procession.

The brilliance of the strategy generated a public relations bonanza unequaled in the campaign to clean up Chesapeake Bay. It’s no puzzle why Bernie’s sneaker test caught on. What Bernie did, everybody can understand.

“The scientists had told them Everything they knew, Still—the folks were puzzled And they didn’t know what to do.”

“It’s Bernie’s measure!

It’s simple—yet profound.

We got a treasure!

You can’t buy it by the pound.”

By the early years of the 21st century, wade-ins had spread from the Patuxent River throughout Maryland up to Howard County and Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, which preferred a Dip-In as a water-clarity measurement tool.

But as Fowler climbed into his 90s, still wading and advocating, his faith was tested. Hard as he’d pushed, his great plan had never come to fruition. As 2020 approached, momentum had slid back down hill. Some politicians were less interested in Bay health; the population

continued to grow, counterbalancing gains in the river’s health; newcomers had only a passing connection with the river earlier generations knew so well; sediment, nitrogen, and toxins assaulted the watershed and river by land, water and air; and restoration deadlines continued to pass unmet.

With his wife Betty’s death in November of 2018, after 69 “glorious years of marriage,” Fowler looked to the future with determined pessimism. At 95, he knew he would not live to see his river’s recovery.

Thus, in his last years, Fowler developed a new slogan: “We will never, never, never, never give up.”

Those were the last words in our last interview.

The word farewell has two different meanings.

In one sense, it’s the salutation Fowler’s followers will offer to Bernie and Betty in this year’s Wade-In. In another sense, it’s a message of hope once again offered to Bernie Fowler’s beloved Patuxent River. p Patuxent River Wade-In: June 12, 1pm, Jefferson Patterson Park, St. Leonard: jefpat.maryland.gov.

Fire Island

Jane Austen gets a fun twist in this smart rom-com AVAIL ABLE TO STREAM ON HULU

I

t is a truth universally acknowledged that every decade needs a Pride and Prejudice adaptation. This time, Jane Austen’s tale of false assumptions, class strife, and romantic entanglements is given a modern varnish with a winning LGBTQ+ theme.

Instead of sisters, Fire Island tells the story of five best friends who travel together to an island every year for a week of debauchery and bonding.

Noah (Joel Kim Booster: Unplugging) is the fiercely independent leader of the group, who thinks he knows what’s best for everyone. This summer’s “project” is finding love for his best friend Howie (Bowen Yang: The Lost City), who has never had a meaningful relationship. Noah doesn’t believe in relationships, but makes it his mission to find Howie a summer romance.

At first, Noah’s quest seems pretty easy. Howie meets dreamy Charlie (James Sully: You), and the pair are immediately smitten. But while Howie and Charlie are happy to flirt, their friend groups aren’t compatible. Charlie runs with a pack of snobs who view Noah and his friends as “trash”. Noah is especially annoyed by Charlie’s best friend Will (Conrad Ricamora: The Resident), who seems to find Noah perversely fascinating.

Can the two groups learn to get along? Or will there be friction whenever they get together?

Hulu kicks off Pride month with this witty adaptation of Pride and Prejudice that brings lots of laughs and a few touching moments. Booster, who wrote the script, manages to update Austen’s look at class and love with subjects that reflect on struggles in the gay community. Booster tackles rainbow capitalism, racial disparities, and monogamy all in one film without

ever making it feel like a lecture.

Director Andrew Ahn (Driveways) deftly navigates through several harsh tonal shifts. The movie easy transitions from raunchy comedy to social study to romance without ever dragging. Ahn also hits the romantic comedy beats beautifully, keeping the tension and the laughs consistent throughout.

This witty adaptation of Pride and Prejudice brings lots of laughs and a few touching moments.

and Booster have excellent comedic chemistry and their antics are easily the most enjoyable part of the movie. They’re both devoted to each other’s happiness, but don’t want to acknowledge the differences between them. Still, even after a fight or a heartbreak, they are steadfast in their affection.

Though Fire Island could delve more deeply into its themes, especially with one character who plays fast and loose with consent, the light approach makes the film more accessible for those who might not be as familiar with the modern issues facing the LGBTQ+ community. Like Austen herself, Ahn and Booster choose to touch lightly on heavy topics while keeping the plot moving along. It’s a smart move, and one that makes Fire Island welcoming to all.

If you’re in the market for a fun adaptation of an Austen classic, or just want a good rom-com from a promising new voice, consider giving Fire Island a try.

Part of the strength of Fire Island is how frank it is with topics that might make general audiences uncomfortable. Noah can see that Charlie’s rich white friends are looking down at him, and bristles at the fact that they’re buying up the island, turning what used to be a safe haven for persecuted people into a luxury vacation destination. By pricing out people like Noah and his friends, they gentrify the island and take away a space that used to be safe and sacred to the community.

But Fire Island isn’t all class and race commentary, at the heart of the story are several beautiful relationships. While the romances are nice, the real meat of the story is the friendship between Howie and Noah. Yang June 9 - June 16, 2022 • CBM BAY WEEKLY • 17

CREATURE FEATURE

STORY AND PHOTO BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

The Ancient Isopods

W

hen walking along the shoreline, I frequently see small dark creatures scurrying along around the edge of rocks. They are pretty fast and easily escape under the rocks, their multiple legs seem to roll them along. These dark creatures are from an ancient order of crustaceans called isopods (from the Greek words for “equal feet”). Their common name is rock lice and they date back 300 million years ago to the shallow seas of the Carboniferous Period.

Earlier forms of isopods still exist in Tasmania.

I know of three common local isopods.

The first is the rock lice which feeds on the algae and detritus along the edge of a marine shoreline. Rock lice are actually terrestrial animals but cannot tolerate becoming dried out. They grab onto rocks as waves wash over and can swim but will drown if submersed for too long.

The second type found locally are pill bugs or roly polies. I see them frequently as I pull up weeds along a fence line.

They rush away to find a dark hiding spot. If I try to pick one up it will roll into a ball. They are nocturnal and usually eat decaying plants. They are considered a beneficial terrestrial crus-

tacean.

The last of the three common isopods is one that anglers talk about. When striped bass have freshly entered into the Chesapeake Bay from the ocean, they carry parasitic isopods called sea lice on their gills.

After the striped bass have been in the lower salinity of the Bay for more than a couple of weeks, the gill lice slowly drop off. When a striper is caught and pulled out of the water, the isopods will fall off the fish’s gills and onto the boat deck. The presence of sea lice indicates how recently the bass left the ocean.

Isopods have a hardshelled exoskeleton that is a series of seven jointed plates with seven pairs of jointed legs. There have two antennae and two weak eyes. The female isopods have a unique structure for taking care of their young. They have a pouch where the young are hatched and taken care of until molting.

GARDENING FOR HEALTH

STORY AND PHOTO BY MARIA PRICE

Peas and Health From the Garden

P

eas are a wonderful treat for this time of year. I am harvesting snap peas and shelling peas. Peas are a cool weather crop, so as the heat increases, our pea harvests will start to decline.

Peas can be planted as soon as the soil can be worked. I planted my peas in March for best yields. Sow in welldrained soil and ensure adequate fertility and a pH of 6.5 to 6.8. You can adjust the pH with ground limestone or wood ashes, ideally in the fall prior to spring planting. It’s good to treat peas with inoculant to encourage the formation of nitrogen-producing nodules on the plant roots. This enriches the soil and results in larger plants and increased yields.

Sugar snap peas have an edible pod.

Sugar snap peas germinate well in cold, wet soils. The vines can grow 72 inches tall and will need trellising.

They yield well over both hot and cold weather.

Fresh shelling peas are rarely available in grocery stores, so try growing your own. I am growing a variety of shelling peas called Bistro, from Johnny’s Selected Seeds. The 24-inch vines are easy to harvest and are very compact, disease resistant-plants. They produce 2¾-inch to 3-inch pods filled with seven to eight sweet peas.

Researchers have found that peas contain a compound called chlorophyllin, which is the pigment responsible for giving them their shiny green hue.

A 2012 Oregon State University study found that chlorophyll in green vegetables offers protection against cancer and the antioxidants and saponins in peas may help the body reduce inflammation, lower cholesterol and ease the symptoms of the common cold. Chlorophyllin has a special molecular shape that allows it to grab cancer-causing chemicals in the body. The fiber in peas binds with bile from the liver and helps to remove cholesterol.

It’s best to steam peas rather than boil them to retain their nutrients.

A great way to have both snap peas and shelled peas is over a dish of cheese ravioli in a brown butter sauce.

Melt 1/3 cup butter until the butter turns brown and aromatic. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice and two tablespoons water. Remove from heat.

Add cooked cheese ravioli. Garnish with pea tendrils, sugar snap peas, green peas, mint and some shaved parmesan. Delicious. p Have a gardening question?

Isopods include 10,000 species that range from the small roly poly to giant 20-inch benthic isopods that help clean up the ocean floor. Isopod lifespans are uncertain—roly polies have been measured to live up to seven years old but

some of the deep water species may live to over 100.

These interesting and ancient creatures are not really “bugs” but are an order of crustaceans, making them closer to crabs than ladybugs. p

New Tackle Terms Coming to the Chesapeake

T

he somewhat recent incursion of catfish into the Bay has resulted in some new and frequently heavy action for Maryland anglers. Nowadays you never know just how big the critter is at the end of your line.

Fish, particularly blue catfish, in the 50-pound class are a definite possibility. Plus, depending on what species you’ve encountered, the limits on how many you can harvest is up to you.

ASOS PRESENTS

MOON & TIDES

There are still quantities of our favorite rockfish to be had but in the last few years catfish have entered the mix in substantial numbers. And the traditional freshwater rigs popular throughout the U.S. for catching them are making their way into the Tidewater as well and their use is producing striped bass equally well.

Nationally, catfish have long been an overwhelmingly popular fish. Originat-

ing from the Missouri River, they are now found in every state and second only to the largemouth bass in the number of sweetwater aficionados pursuing them. Catfish have also become the official state species in at least five states.

Bait-fishing on the bottom is the traditional tactic for catching the four most popular species in the Bay: the blue, channel, flathead and white catfish. The doodlebug rig, once a mainstay of our surf anglers along the Atlantic as a means to float their baits just off of the bottom to elude crabs, also has evolved as a reliable rig for attracting whisker fish.

All of the cats are large-mouthed, small-toothed, tough-skinned but scaleless and usually found feeding and cruising close to the bottom at various depths. The catfish’s sense of smell is accurate at surprisingly long distances and sensed through their barbels (whiskers) located near the sides of their mouths.

The Santee rig, used by the catfish anglers of Santee Cooper Lake in South Carolina, is quite reminiscent of the Maryland surfer’s doodlebug setup.

Using a stout three way swivel with a short leader and sinker off of one swivel and at least a 6/0, circle hook with a brightly colored float fixed some four to five inches along a 30 to 80 pound, 16 inch leader on the other swivel. The mainline is usually composed of monofilament or braided lines from 20 to 60 pound test.

Another similar setup, the Carolina rig, uses the common Bay fish-finder

sliding sinker of about 2 to 3 ounces, above a stout swivel, then to a 19- to 24-inch leader, preferably fluorocarbon of 30 to 50 pounds and at least a 6/0 circle hook. A colored float of about 3 to 4 inches is placed about 6 inches above the bait to keep it just off the bottom. I used this rig for the first time last year and found it equally as effective for rock as catfish.

A Demon Dragon is another recent innovation becoming popular for all types of catfishing that simply involves using a spook type, hookless, surface plug (or Demon Dragon) in a baitfish pattern, tied in as the float above the baited hook. Allegedly intended to emulate a baitfish trying to steal the cut bait, it is claimed to induce more aggressive and frequent bites from targeted prey.

To make all of these rigs effective, use an old school, dead stick technique to insure a firm corner mouth hookup.

Dead sticking means that, after casting out your bait, you place your rod in a bank or boat rod holder in gear so that it can resist some substantial pressure from the fish. When the fish bites, the angler must wait and allow the fish to actually set the hook by pulling strongly.

I’ve found that interfering in that process is inevitably detrimental to success, so just sit back and wait for that drag to start humming. p The Sensible Angler talks with “Montauk Mike” Matulonis about the Doodlebug Rig: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=sceWMUp7pw4

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

BY THE EDITORS AT ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION There Are Rules At the Rio condo building a few blocks from Central Park in New York City, building management has filed a lawsuit against resident Helen Hirsh, 83, alleging she “defecated in the fitness center’s pool and then again in the fitness center shower,” according to the New York Post. The lawsuit also alleges that Hirsh “screams and makes loud noises while using the gym and the pool” and doesn’t always wear appropriate attire in the gym. Hirsh was banned from the facilities but apparently has snuck back in by following a real estate agent touring prospective buyers or catching an open door when other residents were leaving. Management has had to take both the pool and the fitness center out of use so both could be cleaned and sanitized. But Hirsh thinks the suit is payback because she doesn’t tip. “I’m an old lady. Why should I tip you all the time? I don’t want to live here anymore,” she said.

Police were called to a home in Trenton, South Carolina, on May 7, where two bodies were found in the backyard, WJBF-TV reported. The first was Joseph Anthony McKinnon, 60, who apparently died of a “cardiac event,” according to the coroner. The second body was Patricia Ruth Dent, 65, who was McKinnon’s live-in girlfriend, and who clearly did not die of natural causes. An autopsy revealed that Dent had been strangled; police believe a struggle took place inside the home, and McKinnon wrapped her in trash bags and placed her in a pit he had dug in the yard. They concluded that McKinnon had suffered a heart attack during that process.

Brazilian defender Marcelo, 34, was dismissed from the Lyon squad of the Ligue 1 Uber Eats French Football League last August after reportedly laughing during captain Leo Dubois’ speech following the team’s losing match against Angers. But on May 10, ESPN reported there was more to the explosive story. Marcelo, who was considered one of the leaders of the team, apparently had an ongoing issue with passing gas and laughing inappropriately in the locker room among his teammates. He had signed a contract with Lyon before the start of the season, but it was terminated in January and he signed with Bordeaux, which is having a stinky season of its own, now at the bottom of the Ligue 1 table and seven points from safety.

Bright Idea Eighty-two-year-old actor James Cromwell, known most recently for his role on “Succession,” glued his palm to a midtown Manhattan Starbucks store

counter on May 10 to protest the extra charge the coffee company assesses for plant-based milk in their drinks. He later used a knife to scrape his hand off the counter. The Associated Press reported that Cromwell, who starred in “Babe: Pig in the City,” is a longtime animal rights protester. For its part, Starbucks seemed nonplussed by the protest, which was organized by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, characterizing the nondairy milk customizations as similar to any other, “such as an additional espresso shot or syrup.”

It’s a Mystery In Schleiden, Germany, on May 11, high school students laid to rest a classmate who had been with them for generations: Anh Bian, the human female skeleton that had dwelt in the school’s biology classroom since the 1950s, and whom they had given the Vietnamese name for “mysterious peace.” Students, teachers and town officials buried the anonymous woman in the town’s Protestant cemetery in a coffin marked with symbols of all the world’s major religions, but before doing so, they collected DNA so that they might later learn her identity. The Associated Press reported that they had hoped to bury her earlier, but the pandemic had slowed plans to put her to rest. Future biology studies will be undertaken using a plastic skeleton.

DUI “DUI” has a new meaning for drivers and hikers in the Normandy region of France, The Connexion reported on May 11: deer under the influence. The 30 Million Friends Organization, an animal rescue group, said at this time of year, deer gorge on spring flowers that are loaded with sugar, which ferments in their stomachs and makes them “drunk.” For example, they may become disoriented and sometimes panicked, wandering into dangerous situations. Experts remind anyone who comes across a bombed Bambi to stay calm and not upset the animal.

Family Values The BBC reported on an unusual lawsuit filed in the north Indian state of Uttarakhand by Sanjeev and Sadhana Prasad, parents of Shrey Sagar, 35, against their son “because of mental cruelty.” The elders are demanding compensation equal to about $650,000 if Shrey and his wife do not produce a child within a year. Sanjeev said they spent all their savings on their son, sending him to the United States for pilot training, and that he returned to India but lost his job and required their support for two more years. They arranged a lavish wedding and reception for him, but after six years, the couple “are still not planning a baby,” Sanjeev said. “At least if we have a

grandchild to spend time with, our pain will become bearable.”

Can’t Possibly Be True Edward Draper and his son, Rowan, have set a Guinness World Record for hanging up 10 items of clothing, according to SWLondoner. The pair achieved the amazing feat at Turk’s Head pub in Twickenham, London, England, in March. They hung up 10 items of clothing on wooden hangers in 56.87 seconds. Seriously? Good on them for raising money for the British Heart Foundation, but geez, men. Might want to visit the laundry room more often.

Florida • At the Palm Haven Mobile Home Park in St. Petersburg, Florida, feathers were flying on May 8, The Smoking Gun reported. Christine Terman, 57, became angry that a chicken belonging to her neighbor, Lawrence Stenzel, had been defecating on the patio. So, according to the arrest report, Terman “retrieved a bucket of pee from her bathroom” and threw it at Stenzel. The bucket struck him in the face, “causing him pain,” but worse, the police report went on, “the victim was wet when we arrived and smelled of urine.” Terman fessed up to the dousing and was booked into the county jail on a misdemeanor battery charge; her boyfriend, Kevin Avery, 59, was also arrested for threatening Stenzel in the presence of the officers.

• Janiya Shaimiracle Douglas, 19, was arrested on May 12 in the Florida Keys for reckless driving and fleeing from a Monroe County Sheriff ’s deputy, ClickOrlando.com reported. When the officer finally caught up to her, Douglas told him that getting arrested had been on her bucket list since high school. So, congratulations, Janiya! You can tick that one off!

Great Art When Laura Young picked up a marble bust from the floor of a Goodwill store in Austin, Texas, in 2018, she couldn’t have imagined the saga that was about to unfold. As it turns out, the Associated Press reported on May 6, her $35 bust is believed to be a centuries-old sculpture of Pompey the Great, missing from the collection of King Ludwig I of Bavaria since World War II. Experts suspect an American soldier brought the bust to the United States after the war. The piece will visit the San Antonio Museum of Art until next year, when it will be returned to Germany. “I’m glad I got to be a small part of its long and complicated history, and he looked great in the house while p I had him,” Young said.

The name Abacus comes from the Greek abax, meaning tablet for writing or ciphering. The frame with beads, which moved along posts, was invented in China during the Ming Dynasty of the 13th-16th century AD. It was called Suan Pan, with Pan meaning calculating and Suan meaning tablet. Fast-calculating physicist, Richard Feynman, was challenged by a Japanese abacus expert, and learned the abacus was much faster at addition, slightly faster at multiplication, slower at division, and much less adept at cube roots. Feynman, however, was not very colorful, failed to make any rattling noises, nor did children enjoy playing with him when other toys were not around.
