Dads and the Reasons We Love Them

F

ather’s Day is a hard holiday for me and anyone else who lost their dad way too soon. Dads embody a different part of our hearts as children. They are our protectors, our champions, our wrestling partners.

They tell terrible jokes. “Want to hear a joke about construction? I’m still working on it.” (My husband is steadily building up his own repertoire of Dad Jokes and we love him all the more for it.)

They are masters of the grill and the remote. They are our coaches and our biggest sideline cheerleaders (and armchair quarterbacks).

And yet, we often stumble trying to express our love, appreciation and gratitude for the men in our lives. The men who take their role as father pretty seriously.

Science has been interested in figuring out “fatherly feelings” for a while now. Dads don’t experience the same biochemical bond between parent and child in the same way a woman does.

Yet research shows that the father-child

bond makes a major contribution to a child’s life.

A series of experiments by two neuroscientists at the University of Calgary in Alberta found that mouse dads’ brains sprout additional neurons following the birth of their pups. They developed neurons that responded specifically to the smell of their offspring and another set of new neurons grew in the hippocampus, possibly helping to cement the smell of the offspring into long-term memory. Physical contact with the pups, coupled with the smell, is what researchers think the key is to this development.

So Dad’s brain may remember how you smell, but only if he is physically present with you. Hopefully, Dad forgets what you smelled like when you entered those stinky tween-teen years.

I only had 13 years with my dad.

But they were very important years.

He taught me to fish, play softball, pitch a tent, paddle a canoe. He loved

me, my mom and my sisters fiercely. He believed that family and faith were the most important things in our lives. And that he wouldn’t let you back in the boat until you got up on those water skis.

While I will never know what my life would have been like had he lived beyond age 42, I know my life is better for him being in it for as long as I had him.

So on that note—go give your Dad a hug or a slap on the back. Let him know how much he means to you. Buy him something special. This Father’s Day Gift Guide is full of unique ideas sure to impress, most from local businesses.

MEET MISS MISTY

W

e have a confession: Although all of our cats have our hearts, some just pull at our heartstrings a little more.

Meet the beautiful, silky Miss Misty.

After 11 years with the same owner, this sweet girl was surrendered to our rescue through absolutely no fault of her own. The end of May marked three weeks with us, and she’s still so sad, scared, and confused.

Some of us make special visits to hold her and pet her. She lets people pick her up, and she lays on our laps and purrs quietly. Misty sports a beautiful deep charcoal coat and captivating emerald green eyes. She makes intense eye contact, searching for some answers, reassurance that she’s gonna be okay, and most of all, love.

So far, we’re letting her have her own space to gain her confidence and spirit back, so we don’t know just yet how she may be with other cats or animals. With the right patient owner, she very likely can be assimilated into a loving household with other pets, although probably with companions on the quieter, laidback side of life.

She’s a healthy girl who needs consistency back in her life so that she can resume the comfy cat life she should be enjoying—we can’t wait to see her eating full meals and playing, but for now she’s still cautious and reserved.

This baby deserves a good home, and we’re dedicated to finding it for her. Please consider this lovely lady as the missing piece of your home’s heart!

You can meet Misty at Calvert Animal Welfare League, 1040 Prince Frederick. Call 410-535-9300 or visit cawlrescue.org.

WINNERS! CONGRATS to Cherie Novicky Kasch, Dana Gosewisch Smith and their guests who won tickets to see Old Dominion in concert last Friday at Calvert Marine Museum in Solomons courtesy of CBM Bay Weekly.

MULTIPLE BOATS CATCH FIRE AT ANNAPOLIS MARINA

BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

A

major boat fire broke out at a marina just north of Sandy Point State Park in Annapolis. Luckily, no one was injured, but unluckily, the fire destroyed two boats and damaged three more, plus their surrounding finger piers.

The Annapolis Police Department received multiple 911 calls just before 8:30 p.m. Thursday at the Podickory Point Yacht Club marina.

When firefighters arrived, a 40-foot boat was fully involved with flames and no one was on board.

The fire then spread to the other boats, says Anne Arundel County Fire Department spokesperson Lt. Sheldon Neal. All three burning boats were docked at the time.

Lt. Neal says no one was injured. Naval Support Activity (NSA), Calvert County Fire & Rescue, Baltimore City Fire Department, and the Queen Anne’s County Fire & EMS Commission all helped by responding to the fire.

It ultimately took 69 firefighters approximately three hours to extinguish the fire.

The fire caused an estimated $305,000 in damage.

Annapolis Police say, “The initial cause of the fire is accidental, most likely an electrical malfunction.”

ith a preliminary study on a possible new Chesapeake Bay crossing complete, Maryland transportation officials recommend building a new span alongside the existing two between Anne Arundel and Queen Anne’s counties. The Federal Highway Administration has given preliminary approval to the plan, too.

Now, Governor Larry Hogan has announced a second Bay Crossing Tier 2 Study to the tune of $28 million. It will “not only study the new crossing, but also look at solutions for the entire 22-mile corridor from the Severn River Bridge to the 50/301 split,” says Hogan.

He says it’s a critical next step in establishing a new Bay crossing, as traffic worsens on US Route 50 and in the communities leading up to the bridge.

Last Sunday, for example, westbound delays on 50 stretched 12.6 miles back from the bridge around 5 p.m., as many people returned home from the Eastern Shore.

The Bay Crossing Tier 1 National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) looked at several locations for possible crossings, along with a no-build alternative.

It concluded that Corridor 7, the one containing the existing Bay Bridge, was most feasible. You can read the results at baycrossingstudy.com.

Tier 2 will build upon those findings, the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) says, “and identify specific

Photo: baybridgecrossingstudy.com. alignment alternatives within Corridor 7, which is two miles wide and 22 miles long, from the Severn River Bridge in Anne Arundel County to the US 50/US 301 split in Queen Anne’s County.”

MDTA Chairman and Transportation Secretary Jim Ports explains, “The Tier 2 study will identify and evaluate a NoBuild Alternative as well as various crossing alignments and types—such as a new bridge, a bridge/tunnel or replacement of existing spans.”

MDTA and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) says it will engage with residents, communities, officials, and the general public on the Tier 2 study. “As we learned from the Tier 1 Study, the public’s contributions in this

process are invaluable,” says Ports.

The MDTA Board is expected to vote on funding for the Tier 2 NEPA later this month. The study would take four to five years to complete. If one of the build routes is selected, there would be another step before final design, rightof-way acquisition, and construction.

Building the bridge itself would cost up to $9 billion.

If the Tier 2 study results in choosing a No-Build Alternative, no further action of any kind would be taken, according to MDTA. The Tier 1 study concluded that no-build options like ferry service, rail, bus and transportation system manage-

ment wouldn’t solve the bridge crossing traffic problem as a stand-alone option.

Tier 2 will look at how these no-build options could be used in conjunction with other alternatives, however.

Additional information and public

Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman issued a statement in support of the Tier 2 study, despite his previous opposition of all three Tier 1 Corridor possibilities that were located in Anne Arundel. participation opportunities for the Tier 2 NEPA Study will be posted to baycrossingstudy.com.

Hogan has prioritized Bay Bridge fixes in recent years, completing a westbound re-decking project and removing toll booths at the bridge in favor of all-elec-

tric tolling to keep traffic moving.

The bridge is also getting a new Automated Lane Closure System. It will replace the barrel-and-cone system, making it more efficient to convert to two-way operations and keep workers safer.

Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman issued a statement in support of the Tier 2 study, despite his previous opposition of all three Tier 1 Corridor possibilities that were located in Anne Arundel.

Back in 2020, Pittman said, “Any of the three options will be severely disruptive to existing communities and sensitive environmental areas. All three options could destroy parks along the Chesapeake Bay, at a time when we are trying to expand public water access.”

But last week, Pittman responded to Hogan’s Tier 2 announcement, saying, “I want to thank Governor Hogan for not only moving forward with the Bay Crossing Phase 2 Study, but also supporting our request to include the westbound approach to the bridge, so that the crippling traffic in the heart of our county can be addressed in a comprehensive way.”

In his statement Pittman said he expects to “have a seat at the table” throughout the process, with input on environmental impacts and traffic bottleneck reduction.

NEW BLUE CRAB LIMITS PROPOSED AMID DISMAL WINTER DREDGE SURVEY

BY CHERYL COSTELLO

W

hen the Chesapeake Bay’s winter dredge survey results came in a month ago, it revealed the worst overall blue crab abundance in the survey’s history. Fishery managers in Maryland, Virginia, and the Potomac River hinted at possible season changes in response

to the crab decline.

Maryland is now considering a firstever bushel limit for commercial and recreational crabbers. And now’s the time to weigh in on the proposal.

With these potential changes looming, Bay Bulletin recently joined a crabber for his morning’s work just over the Bay Bridge in Grasonville. Start time was 3:30 a.m.

With a full moon still shining, we traveled about a mile from Kent Island Yacht Club onto Prospect Bay with third-generation waterman Bobby Washington. He has more than 50 years on the water, so he knows where his line See BLUE CRAB on next page

is despite the dark sky.

He spent at least a few hours attaching bait bags to the 4,800-foot line the night before our Monday morning run. While his line is weighed down, his mind is, too.

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is floating potential blue crab management plans after crab

“Now each year is different because of the water quality. It’s the lack of oxygen.”

—WATERMAN BOBBY WASHINGTON

numbers came in at a 32-year low.

“Years ago, you could crab in the area for two or three months,” remembers Washington. “But now each year is different because of the water quality. It’s the lack of oxygen.”

Michael Luisi, acting DNR Fishing and Boating Services Director, says unprecedented changes are likely. “Up until now, we never had limits on the amount of males a commercial crabber can catch … We are at the point now where we are considering—and we are

likely to implement—bushel limits.

Once you achieve a certain amount of male crabs, you have to stop for the day no matter how much time you have left.”

There had been talk about an in-season closure (similar to the rockfish closure in August) but that option is off the table. “We have no anticipated absolute closure of the crab fishery for the commercial fisherman, for males or females,” Luisi says.

But Washington says bushel limits will reduce their earning ability on top of the major challenge gas prices are already bringing. A full tank of gas on the boat costs him $95.

“With the price of the fuel now, it’s going to hurt. It’s going to impact us all … Last year I could have crabbed three or four days off that $95. This year, it’s every two days. That’s a big hurt.”

Washington’s crabs are sold to Harris Crab House. But the proposal also addresses the recreational catch. Bushel limits for recreational crabbers could be cut from two to one per day.

DNR is working closely with partners in Virginia and all parties have agreed to take certain approaches to reduce the harvest of crabs this year.

You can complete a survey through June 19 to specify your preferred conservation measure.

Meanwhile, Bobby Washington will be back out six days a week, hoping to feel the pinch from his crabs—not his livelihood.

Sailor Oyster Bar Won’t Give Up the Ship

BY DUFFY PERKINS

A

n Annapolis restaurant known for their oysters was significantly damaged in a two-alarm fire last Wednesday night.

Sailor Oyster Bar, owned and operated since 2016 by Scott and Gabrielle Herbst, suffered catastrophic damage when a fire broke out around 8 p.m.

June 8 in the rear of the two-story building. Heavy flames engulfed the row building, burning inward and down into the establishment.

Scott Herbst was at his home nearby in President’s Hill when the fire broke out. “I got a phone call from Bryce, one of our staff, who very calmly said, ‘Scott, I need you to come to the restaurant right now. The back of the building is on fire.’”

Herbst found sneakers and ran the block to the restaurant before he had time to consider what he had just heard, but when he arrived, it was all too real.

“I was trying to be cool, but the fire was well on its way. It happened incredibly fast.”

Inside the building, calm heads prevailed. Chef Lorenza Aznar was upstairs in Sailor’s top prep room when she smelled something strange. At the same time, a server downstairs was ringing

in an order when the whole computer system went down. Guests seated at tables noticed smoke out the back windows, and smelled burning. Aznar went downstairs to get help and met with a dining guest who was already working to bring everyone outside.

Annapolis Fire department spokesperson Lieutenant Tony Williams Jr. says 56 firefighters worked for almost an hour to put out the blaze. “The second alarm ended up pulling five extra engines, a truck, a medic unit, and a requested rehab unit,” he said.

Both the Anne Arundel Fire Department and the Naval Support Activity Fire Department assisted the Annapolis firefighting crew. Sailor Oyster Bar had working fire detectors, which helped result in zero injuries. The Annapolis Fire Department Fire Explosive Services Unit conducted the investigation and determined the cause to be accidental due to improperly discarded smoking materials.

The next day, when Herbst was able to witness the interior’s aftermath, he was both heartbroken and grateful. “Every table had plates and glasses on it,” he says. “It was the middle of service.

There were things on the walls that my wife and I spent our lives collecting, things that were sentimental and irreplaceable. But it’s still just stuff. It could have been so much worse.”

While it was “just stuff,” it was the See OYSTER BAR on next page

June 16 - June 23, 2022 • CBM BAY WEEKLY • 5

BAY BULLETIN OYSTER BAR from page 5

stuff that had been an entirely original restaurant, unique to Annapolis.

Herbst was a longtime restaurant industry professional and a main figure at Tsunami when he took a look at a row building on West Street that needed some creative vision. Sailor was a full-on concept restaurant, serving high-end seafood without many of the traditional utensils of a seafood restaurant. Being a row building, a grill with a hood was out of the question. Herbst came armed with a blow torch, a sous vide stick, and a toaster.

His creative mission caught the attention of the region. Sailor Oyster Bar has been named a Best of the Bay winner in 2021, 2020, and 2017 for Best Oyster Bar. Excellent food and drink is enough to get your name on a “Best Of” list, but it’s the servers who get you the regulars. And considering how busy Sailor could be during happy hour, the regulars were there to stay.

“From day one, I told everyone that it’s not a restaurant; it’s our house,” says Herbst. “When people come in, we treat them like they’re guests in our house. We’re here to help people escape all of life’s BS and enjoy themselves, even if it’s just for a minute.”

Sailor is also committed to helping oyster recovery efforts, consistently coming in among Oyster Recovery Partnership’s Top Ten Shell Recycling contributors.

Repairs to get the business back up and running are currently estimated to take at least 12-15 months by conservative standards. Because of this, fundraising efforts began within 24 hours of the fire to support Sailor’s staff, many of whom have been with the restaurant since its inception.

One of these fundraisers is managed

by Samantha Ford, owner and artist at Love Struck Tattoo Parlor on Maryland Avenue. Ford and her husband are Sailor regulars, sipping Jay’s Old Fashioneds (a spicy mezcal tequila spin on the traditional cocktail) and eating shrimp nigiri at the bar. Ford is originally from Mystic, Conn., and fell in love with the Sailor culture “because it’s like an oyster bar you’d find there, with that old school New England charm.”

“From day one, I told everyone that it’s not a restaurant; it’s our house. When people come in, we treat them like they’re guests in our house.

We’re here to help people escape all of life’s BS and enjoy themselves, even if it’s just for a minute.”

Heroes Pub: On Monday June 20 from 5-9pm Heroes Pub will host a fundraiser to benefit the staff of Sailor Oyster Bar. BlkAnkr: Buy a SOB Stronger Together t-shirt online ($15) or at Heroes Pub.

Ford immediately wanted to help, so she put together a flash sheet with tattoo designs based on Sailor’s culture. A lighthouse, an anchor, a piece of shrimp nigiri, an oyster shell, and several other items fill a page. On Saturday, June 18, Ford will be tattooing anyone who wants to help Sailor recover and put a stamp of their appreciation on their body. “It was the first thing I turned to – what can I offer these people?” she says. “I can tattoo people, and then donate the money.”

One of Ford’s items is of a ghost. “Oh, that’s Steve,” she says. It turns out Sailor has its own resident ghost named Steve (is this really surprising?). He shows up after hours and is a friendly family member. “I’ve done about 200 ghost tattoos, and they’re all named Steve.”

When asked about how Steve’s holding up through all of this, Herbst says, “He’s lonely at night, but he’s handling it well, considering.”

Even the ghosts don’t give up this ship.

Garden Centers Face Legal Action

BY PAT PIPER

T

here’s a “growing” concern about commercial gardens in Anne Arundel County.

As of now, the county says any plant sold to customers at a garden center has to have been grown on site. Selling a Knockout Rose grown in another state or another region and trucked here in a plastic container to a county garden center for sale is illegal.

On June 21, county council members Amanda Fielder and Jessica Haire will introduce Bill 57-22 to change this.

“It updates the definition of any nursery with landscaping and plant sales,” says Fiedler, “specifically how the plants are cultivated and grown, to reflect current industry practices.”

Co-sponsor Haire, who is running for the county executive position, adds, “Our code is outdated, and it is obvious we are regulating something that does not need to be regulated.”

Anne Arundel County agrees.

County Deputy Administrator for Land Use, Lori Rhodes, tells Bay Weekly, “We need flexibility to allow nurseries to sell plants grown at the nursery or in containers. The existing rule is very restrictive.”

Danny Summers of Georgia-based The Garden Center Group, assisting

more than 170 retail nurseries across the country, says the current zoning requirement outlawing the sale of container plants “sounds like something from 1965. Container plants make up 90 percent of sales,” he says. Summers says that nurseries need space for providing sustainable soil and other “nonplant” products for use in landscapes and gardens.

But while there’s consensus to make this change, Rhodes wants to see more from the proposal.

“Bill 57-22 doesn’t go far enough. We are going to make recommendations to increase the amount of area on the lot that can be used to sell the plant material and some of the accessory products that go along with the plants.”

Two garden centers face legal action from the county and Rhodes hopes to fix part of that with the proposed changes.

Neither business would comment on the pending litigation.

Notices were sent to both Riva Gardens & Farm Market and Bay Ridge Nursery regarding zoning concerns.

Because business has been good, the properties have expanded but still operate in residential areas zoned R-1 with a conditional use permit. The problem is those permits allow no more than 1 percent of the land to be used for retail.

Both are being questioned about exceeding that limit.

Celebrating Juneteenth in Chesapeake Country

Calvert County/ St. Mary’s County June 18, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Talent Show

BY STEVE ADAMS AND MICHAILA SHAHAN

In Calvert County, you can celebrate Juneteenth at a talent show hosted by the Calvert branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Their annual Juneteenth celebration is at Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum in St. Leonard and also includes a classic car show, petting zoo, a tribute to veterans, food and merchandise vendors, and live entertainment (free).

L

ast year, Governor Larry Hogan and Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman announced that the state and county would recognize June 19 as a county and state holiday. Juneteenth marks the date in 1865 when a Union Army general announced to troops in Texas that slavery had been outlawed, well over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It was also declared a federal holiday after President Joe Biden signed similar legislation.

This year’s commemorations are expected to be larger and more widespread across the region.

Annapolis hosted its first official Juneteenth celebration in Maryland last year. This year’s celebration includes a VIP gala honoring local and national trailblazers for their contributions to their community, followed by a parade and all-day music festival at the Bates Athletic Complex.

Building upon last year’s momentum, here are some of the activities and events to celebrate this year.

See Bay Planner on page 14 for more events.

June 17, 5-10 p.m., Annapolis Juneteenth VIP Gala Taking place at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Annapolis, this year’s gala will again kick off the Juneteenth weekend with an evening that includes the awarding of several unsung heroes within the community, raffling prizes, cocktails and dinner, and dancing to music provided by The 4 The Road Band and DJ K-Rock. African attire is suggested, but not required, and tickets are $100.

June 18, noon-2 p.m., Annapolis Juneteenth Parade

GARDEN CENTER from page 7

Bay Ridge Nursery is in such an area.

“Because businesses grow over time, we need an updated site plan from them showing how their conditional-use certificate meets the guidelines.

An amended Bill 57-22 would fix this, but we need to see their updated plan,” notes Rhodes.

Bill 57-22 will be introduced June 21

In contrast to most parades in Annapolis, the Juneteenth Parade begins in downtown Annapolis at City Dock—a site that is not only home to the Alex Haley Memorial but has also been designated as a UNESCO Middle Passage Site of Remembrance, indicating the role of the Annapolis port as a destination for the trade of human cargo. The parade features civic organizations, marching bands, dance squads, and floats moving up Main Street to West Street before ending at Bates Athletic Complex, where there will be a closing ceremony highlighted by a reading of the Emancipation Proclamation.

Visit the City of Annapolis website for information on the route, road closures, and parking: annapolis.gov/1927/Annapolis-Juneteenth-Celebration-2022.

Catch performances by Avery Sunshine, Koryn Hawthorne, Pastor Mike Jr., Beverly Crawford, and the Chuck

at 7pm at the Anne Arundel County Council located at 44 Calvert Street.

Once amendments are approved, a vote could be taken no later than August/ September.

For Riva Gardens, Rhodes says she received a complaint about their retail operations. “They were selling food without a food service license which has gotten the health department involved.

Councilmember Haire hopes there will be action for Anne Arundel County garden centers soon. “I’m glad the

county agrees a change is needed—it’s unfortunate that it took my introducing legislation for them to realize that.”

Riva Gardens’ first notice was sent in 2019, with a follow-up in 2020 and 2021.

The combination of the pandemic lockdowns, enforcement schedules, the business operator’s schedule and extensions were given as reasons the situation has taken longer than the usual 36 days.

Wade-In Reports 39-inch Sneaker Index

BY MICHAILA SHAHAN

S

unday, June 12, members of the community, elected officials, friends and family of the late Sen. Bernie Fowler gathered at Jefferson Patterson Park for the 35th annual Patuxent River Wade-In. Without its founder present for the first

time since 1988, they waded into the Patuxent River to check the water quality against Fowler’s Sneaker Index.

Ann Swanson, executive director of the Chesapeake Bay Commission, noted that amongst all the other indicators of pollutants, lack of clarity was a special one to the Chesapeake area. “The magic of the Chesapeake Bay is it is shallow. Light penetrates. If you can’t see your sneakers, you don’t have clarity,” she explained.

The “sneaker index,” a special measure Fowler created to estimate the water clarity of the Patuxent River each year, measures the depth Fowler could wade into the river until he could no longer see his shoes.

In 2020, the index came in at 43 inches, and last year at 34 inches, according to Maryland’s Department of Planning. This year the index marked 39 inches.

Teary-eyed, Swanson told the gathered crowd of the importance of Fowler’s advocacy efforts. “We are part of one of the greatest restoration projects on Earth,” she said.

The Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, American Chestnut Land Trust, Morgan State University’s Patuxent Environmental and Aquatic Research Laboratory, and the late senator’s friends and family hosted this year’s wade-in in his honor.

Before heading down to the river, longtime friends and coworkers of Fowler’s gathered in the grass to both acknowledge the purpose of the event and honor his legacy. Congressman Steny Hoyer,

Youth, Police Team Up For Art

BY NOAH HALE

O

n Monday, local youth and police officers met at City Hall in Annapolis, not for a confrontation, but for an art reception.

The reception, sponsored by the Annapolis Police Foundation, celebrated an exhibit by an Annapolis-based nonprofit called VisionWorkshops. This specific photography project aimed to build trust and positive relationships between youth and law enforcement in Annapolis and bring them closer together through art.”

Over the course of multiple sessions in this pilot program, APD officers and youth were given cameras and were instructed on how to operate them with the goal of getting the perfect photo. But perhaps more importantly, these were opportunities for the two to learn about each other.

“I think that we really succeeded in starting a conversation,” said Kirsten

Making a Splash: The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson in Calvert County

wimming lessons save lives. However, in a survey conducted in 2020, the American Red Cross discovered that 56 percent of Americans can’t swim at a basic level. That’s a statistic that the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson is trying to change.

An annual event launched by the World Waterpark Association in 2010, the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson (WLSL) was created with the goal of building awareness about the importance of swim safety and education.

Since the event’s creation in 2010, more than 332,000 children and adults on six continents have participated.

But I said, ‘What’s the alternative?’” The project was funded by the Governor’s Office of Crime Prevention, Youth and Victim Services and in part by the Charles Crane Family ation staff have coordinated community participation in the WLSL since 2018, hosting an average of 100 participants each year.

“WLSL is so important because it brings awareness to the issue of water safety for all individuals, but especially today’s youth,” says Heather Skyrm, CCPR communications program specialist. “According to research released by the American Academy of Pediatrics last year, drowning has become the single leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 4—number one, ahead of car accidents, birth defects and cancer. Swim lessons provide individuals with the skills necessary to save their own lives when found in or around a body of water.”

This year’s free lesson takes place Thursday, June 23 at Cove Point Park Pool in Lusby (10-10:30 a.m.) and Edward Hall Aquatic Center in Prince Frederick (6-6:30 p.m.). Participants can register in advance or in person 30 min-

Calvert County commissioner Earl “Buddy” Hance, and Charles County commissioner Reuben Collins, among many others who knew Fowler during his lifetime, were present.

Fowler’s son, Bernie Fowler Jr., asked the crowd to “put together your best self and clean this river up.” He urged individuals in the community to each do their part in preventing pollution from reaching the river. He added that Bernie Fowler “was not a perfect man, but every day he was his best self.”

Fowler Jr. acknowledged that, with his own involvement as president in the non-profit organization Farming4Hunger, he wanted to pass on the Wade-In legacy to another. “My father gave me a heartbeat, I gave my son a heartbeat,” he said as he placed a straw hat, complete with a red, white and blue flag, atop Cody Fowler’s head.

After this, all that was left to do was walk down to the beach at Jefferson Patterson, link hands, and wade in to the Patuxent River. displaying sympathy for each other and an understanding of each other. Some duos bonded over tattoos while others bonded over similar upbringings and difficulties in life.

“Every conversation Meko and I have, I feel that we’re bonding. We both have opened up to each other. We continue to share some meaningful events in our lives that have shaped us into who we are,” writes Lt. Kevin Krauss.

Despite the display of sensitive subjects, the reception was filled with positivity.

“When communities and police work together, our communities become stronger and safer,” said Kunle Adeyemo, executive director of the Governor’s Office of Crime Prevention, Youth and Victim Services. “The Hogan administration is proud to support this important program and we will continue to fund initiatives like it around Maryland.”

The exhibit will be on display at City Hall until July 31 and is free and open to the public.

“It is never too late to learn how to swim and stay safe around the water,” stresses Skyrm. “CCPR offers swim lessons to all ages from 6 months old to

seniors. The adult swim lessons have actually become very popular lately, with 20 individuals enrolled in the 2022 spring adult swim lessons ranging in age from their 30s to 60s.” p World’s Largest Swimming Lesson: wlsl.org.

POP Father’s Day Gift Guide B Y K AT H Y K N O T T S , N O A H H A L E , A N D M I C H A I L A S H A H A N

A

S A COUNTRY, we have only marked Father’s Day since 1910. On July 5, 1908, a West Virginia church sponsored the nation’s first event explicitly in honor of fathers, a Sunday sermon in memory of the 362 men who had died in the previous December’s explosions at the Fairmont Coal Company mines in Monongah, but it was a one-time commemoration and not an annual holiday (thank you for the lesson, History.com).

It took a few years for the idea of Father’s Day to catch on. And our struggle with how to shower our male role models with gifts began.

The National Retail Federation estimates we will spend close to $20 billion for Father’s Day this year. Approximately 76 percent of American adults are expected to celebrate in some fashion.

“Despite growing concerns about inflation, consumers plan to spend approximately the same amount as last year in celebration of Father’s Day,” NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said. “Spending patterns also reflect the sentimental nature of the holiday as consumers are prioritizing unique and meaningful gifts.”

Consumers plan to spend an average of $171.79 to honor their fathers and other important men in their lives, nearly mirroring last year’s expected average spending of $174.10.

The most important factors influencing Father’s Day purchases are “finding a gift that is unique or different” (44 percent) and “finding a gift that creates a special memory” (37 percent).

It’s not too late if you haven’t already bagged a gift for Pops for this Father’s Day (it’s Sunday, by the way!). We found a great assortment of gift-worthy gear for Dad, Granddad or whomever you are gifting this weekend.

Long gone are the days of giving Dad something he doesn’t want to wear. Go above and beyond and gift him a t-shirt or hoodie or sweatshirt from his favorite Bay establishments, or is the way to Dad’s heart his stomach? Treat him to a special meal or buy his favorite beverage for him. He does so much for you—it’s time to show some appreciation.

Good Luck to You, Leo Grande

A sex comedy that looks to the mind, rather than the body ON HULU BEGINNING JUNE 17

U

sually, when Leo Grande (Daryl McCormack: Peaky Blinders) shows up to a hotel room, he knows what’s going to happen when the door opens. A sex worker by trade, Leo deals with all genders, ages, and quirks pretty easily. He likes his job and he’s good at it.

But new client Nancy Stokes (Emma Thompson: Cruella) might prove to be a challenge for Leo. A control freak who spent the better part of her life as a religious studies teacher, Nancy is a bit uptight when it comes to sex. A widow who’s only ever slept with her husband, Nancy is obsessed with the idea that at 55 she’s missed out on a great many physical pleasures. Though Leo lays on the charm, Nancy can’t seem to get out of her head. She has a list of things she’d like to do with Leo, but flinches every time he comes near.

Soon, Leo decides that the only way to crack Nancy isn’t through the physical—it’s with a mental connection.

The two begin a complicated relationship that chips away at the walls Nancy has spent decades building.

But as Leo makes progress, he must also open himself up to scrutiny. Can these two help each other embrace

themselves? Or are some relationships better left behind closed hotel room doors?

Good Luck to You, Leo Grande is an intricate character study masquerading as something lascivious. Director Sophie Hyde (The Hunting) knows that the sexy premise will get people to tune in, and she smartly uses it to lead the audience into a carefully nuanced look at two people who need something from each other. Hyde allows the interactions to be funny, but never lets them veer into slapstick or ridiculous. Nancy and Leo are people first and foremost, though they may act silly at times.

Though McCormack is a charming, sometimes mercurial figure, the film is a showcase for Thompson. Her Nancy is a product of her upbringing, prudish and uptight because she was told that to act otherwise was to “ask for” bad things to happen. But her pathology was not limited to herself. Hyde and Thompson make it clear that Nancy wielded her repression to make herself feel better—using it to call her pupils’ names and make them feel the shame that churned within her. Now that she’s

retired and has no husband and children to keep her busy, Nancy must face the idea that she’s been conditioned to hate herself and her desires. It’s an ugly thing to wrestle with, even with a handsome man willing to help her.

The sessions themselves are probably closer to therapy than anything lurid. Nancy throws up a wall and Leo carefully picks his way over or around it, so they can progress in their physical relationship. Hyde brings up the idea that sex workers are essentially providing a necessary service—something that can help people come to terms with their bodies and ideas about intimacy. Leo indeed is more of a therapist than a romantic partner to Nancy. Watching as he helps her come to terms with how she’s lived her life is fascinating.

Like therapy, there is some transference, and that may be the one misstep Hyde makes with her dramedy. Nancy’s gender comes into play

a great deal, when she violates Leo’s boundaries. I doubt her transgressions would be as forgivable if she were a male client of a female sex worker.

Hyde doesn’t seem to want to examine this breech of trust, instead sweeping it aside to further Nancy’s character growth. This reviewer isn’t sure it was the right choice, but it doesn’t hurt the overall flow of the movie.

As you may have guessed, Good Luck to You, Leo Grande isn’t a family film. First of all, kids will likely be bored to tears listening to adults discuss social constructs around purity, respectability, and desirability. Secondly, and possibly more importantly, there’s full-frontal nudity. But if you’re preparing to give “the talk” to a young member of your family, or just re-evaluating “the talk” you got from your parents or teachers, this is a funny, touching film that can help you challenge and refine some of those ideas.

Twin Beach Players’ The Alibis

T

erri McKinstry was looking for a lighthearted script. What she found was an absurd murder mystery. “After all we have been through these past few years, I knew I wanted to find something fun,” says the director of the Twin Beach Players’ 2022 Teen Show.

“This is our first live teen show since COVID and The Alibis is a great play with a fun, ridiculous plot.”

Set to open on Friday, June 17 at the North Beach Boys and Girls Club, The Alibis follows Detective Casey Neptune (Lacey Schreiner) as she tries to solve the murder of millionaire J. Leslie Arlington (Braeden Tiralla).

Neptune has eight suspects, all of whom are reluctant to share their alibis because they were busy committing other crimes when the murder took place.

While a large cast of teens might seem difficult to direct (and wrangle), McKinstry knows what she is doing.

As a seasoned stage actor and director, she has been working with the Twin Beach Players Youth Troupe since 2015. She describes The Alibis’ cast and crew as “hard-working,” and says they have been rehearsing almost

nightly since April.

In addition to a twisted plot, The Alibis also offers a large cast of zany characters, including aspiring teen detectives, a grande dame of the theater, and a pretentious chef. “I prefer shows with ensemble casts over shows that rely heavily on just one or two leading roles,” McKinstry says. “I have 18 actors playing 55 roles.” The actors range in age from 11 to 19.

Caleb Graves-Reher, a rising sophomore at Northern High School in Owings, has been acting since he was 8. In addition to performing with his school theater, he has been in five Twin Beach Theater productions. In The Alibis, he plays three roles—a toddler, a boy selling homework, and Edmund Ridinghorn, the self-proclaimed nemesis of the murder victim.

“I like Ridinghorn the most,” he says.

“Playing a villain is always fun and I think the audience will relate to him.”

Two of Graves-Reher’s co-stars are 2022 graduates of Northern High School: Riley Nikolaus and Julia Mozingo. Nikolaus has been acting with the Twin Beach Players since she was 6 and now serves on their board

In The Alibis, she plays Franc, a disgruntled chef employed by Arlington, and Bonnie, a thief “who wants to be normal.” Of the two roles, she says Franc is the more challenging because she has “to fake a French accent.”

Mozingo served as the stage manager for the Twin Beach Players’ December 2021 production of The Ghost Before Christmas. She is back on stage for The Alibis in two roles: an unprofessional intern, and Quinn, a stressed-

out young mother. The diverse characters give the plot added depth says Mozingo. “The Alibis is a comedy, but it also shows that we all have our struggles.”

The Alibis runs June 17-26 at the North Beach Boys and Girls Club, 9021 Dayton Avenue in North Beach.

Curtain times are Friday and Saturday evenings at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for seniors and military: showtix4u.com/event-details/65393. p

STORY AND PHOTO BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

Summer Tanagers: All Red for Summer

I

n 2007, I visited the Adkins Arboretum in Caroline County for the first time.

It was in the middle of spring and I was impressed with the size of the trees and the variety of native flowering plants.

While walking in the dark woods, I heard a unique bird call that was loud and close. It was a pretty song, like “BeeeRrrrBeeBeeRrrBeee.” I stopped walking and stood quietly next to a tree, waiting for the source of the sound to show itself. An all-red bird with an awkwardly large dark yellow-orange bill landed on a low branch about 40 feet from me. It was a summer tanager. I got a photo—not a great one, but a photo of a beautiful, uncommon bird. It got me

hooked on visiting different wildlife areas and getting a better camera system.

In the eastern U.S., summer tanagers are birds of old open forests. They tend to stay in the high canopy. In the western and northern parts of its range, especially in areas around coniferous forests, they tend to like the dense vegetation next to rivers and streams. They are birds that migrate long distances and spend their winters in South America.

They are generally solitary birds, except during breeding season, which is when males get very vocal, both chasing females and scaring off rivals.

The females weave a nest with leaves and grasses. Three or four eggs are laid

and both parents will defend the nest and later both feed the young. The eggs hatch in 10 days and the young leave the nest in another 10 days but they can’t fly well yet and will be fed by the parents for another three weeks. The young birds are a yellow-green color like their mother and are loud complainers when they are hungry. Males do not get their bright red color until they are about 18 months old.

Summer tanagers have an unusual diet, which likely explains their large bills. They specialize in eating wasps and bees and frequently can be seen catching the stinging insects in the air and then beating them against a tree limb. After

the prey subdued, the birds will rub the insect’s stinger off. They have been seen tearing apart wasp and hornet nests.

When not eating stinging insects, they will occasionally forage on berries.

Summer tanager males are brilliantly colored. But because they are usually at the top of tall trees, they are not easily spotted. The best way to locate one is by listening for them in the spring and early summer, as they are quite vocal.

In the early spring, late summer and fall, they are quieter.

I have found them at Jug Bay on both the Anne Arundel and Prince George’s sides, the Adkins Arboretum, and on the Patuxent National Wildlife Refuge’s North Tract. If you see a red bird flying, look twice, as it may be a tanager and not a cardinal. p

GARDENING FOR HEALTH

The Power of the Elderflower

W

ith all the recent rain events we’ve had, the elder bushes have responded with a glorious amount of beautiful white flowers. Elder has been called “the medicine chest for the common people”. In this era of COVID, it’s good to know about a native medicine tree that grows for free right in our backyards.

Sambucus canadensis, or elder, is a large shrub or small tree that can grow to 20 feet with coarse gray, furrowed bark. It features pinnate compound leaves arranged in opposite pairs with white star-shaped flowers that grow in clusters 4 to 10 inches wide in late spring. The drooping berries (elderberry) are produced in the fall. It likes to grow in moist woodlands, thickets, fence rows and wetlands. It can be cut to the ground in late winter to keep the

18 • CBM BAY WEEKLY • June 16 - June 23, 2022

shrub healthy and smaller. Grow elder in well-drained moist soil in full sun.

Elderberries are well known as the main ingredient in a syrup used to stimulate the immune system and prevent viruses from taking hold. According to The Herbal Apothecary, “The elder flowers are supportive to the respiratory system, with its ability to open the body, induce mild sweating, reduce fever” and dissolve phlegm.”

Elderflower is indicated for any catarrhal inflammation of the upper respiratory tract such as hay fever or sinusitis. Catarrhal deafness responds well to elderflower. Elderberry has properties similar to those of the flower, with the addition of effectiveness in rheumatism,” writes David Hoffman in Medical Herbalism.

Sambucus appears to strengthen cell

membranes to prevent virus penetration, possibly by inhibiting the viral enzyme that weakens the membrane.

To make an infusion or tea of elderflowers pour one cup of boiling water over 2 teaspoons of dried or fresh blossoms and infuse for 10 minutes. Drink hot three times a day. Throughout England, a common drink is elderflower and rose lemonade. Find it right next to sodas and other beverages in local natural food stores.

Another thing to do with elderflowers is to make elderflower fritters—a heavenly delight. First, identify your bush correctly. Collect about 20 elderflowers with the main stems removed. Mix 1 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and baking powder, 1/2 cup of sugar, one egg beaten and 1 1/2 cups milk. Beat until smooth. Dip each elder cluster into the batter. Drop into sizzling oil and cook until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with sugar. p

Prior Planning Precedes Proper Performance

lanning for a day of angling is a more pleasant task these days thanks to better technology and tools. It also helps that weather forecasting has become reliably more accurate. Before heading out, be sure to do some quick checks on what awaits you on the water.

The very first data to be reviewed is the National Weather Service’s Marine Forecast. This will detail weather warnings, winds and waves— all items critical to your trip. The next vital piece of information, of course, is what’s biting and where. The best source is undoubtedly a friend or acquaintance who has been fishing in recent days— even skunk stories can give you information on where or what not to do.

Fishing reports via local sports stores are timely and reliable as to the catch (but check dates) but locations are almost always generalized and for good reason. A hot spot can quickly be soured with too much attention, so look at these particular tips generically rather than specifically. If a certain river mouth is indicated as a “hotspot,” take that as a hint that there are probably more nearby rivers currently active. Be prepared to search a bit.

Use these reports also for tactical information on what is seducing the

better fish—jigging, plug casting, trolling—and what type of baits are working best—live lining, bait, chum, soft jigs, spoons, topwater plugs, crankbaits, swim baits, etc. This is usually reliable information as the stores commonly can supply the items you lack. Call and ask when in doubt and remember the clerk’s name—a reliable source is beyond value.

Once you’ve decided which techniques to emulate the next step is to review the tides. Tide table information (saltwatertides.com) is probably one of the more critical keys to success (find tide charts below and every week here in CBM Bay Weekly). As reported in Bay Bulletin last month, an awareness campaign has begun at some area docks with QR codes that will send you to tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov.

If you’re going to fish shallow water (less than 6 feet), you’ll want higher tide conditions and these can dictate which location you will fish and in what order.

Visiting the shorelines in the early hour or late hours at the beginning or end of your trip is when fish are much more likely to cruise the skinny waters.

Overcast days are also ideal times to target shorelines and thin water.

Most Bay gamefish are light-sensitive,

so when it gets brighter they go deeper.

Moon phase will always play some role in the bite; tides are higher and currents stronger during the full and new moons. Tide phase won’t be as important when targeting the lumps in deeper waters but the tidal currents will be stronger which can be a good thing. Fish don’t usually feed well in still water. And remember, when referring to the tables, that tidal current lags behind the predicted high and low times. Because of the water mass involved, incoming tides will continue to flow in for about two hours after the high tide mark and continue to go out for two hours after the noted low.

Wind forecasting (NOAA Tides and Currents) especially has become far more accurate in recent years and because of this it is more critical and useful. Shore anglers will know to

TUESDAY

head for lee shores when winds are to exceed 10 knots and to stay away from windward shores in anything higher.

Holding bottom and distance casting against stiff breezes will become ever more difficult. Anglers in skiffs and small boats will wisely avoid conditions predicted over 10 knots or remain in the rivers for protection. Always remember that when the winds are coming over open water their effect on wave size grows proportionally.

Chumming can become complicated or even impossible if the tidal currents don’t align with wind directions. When they oppose each other and winds are stiff, your chum stream will be going one way and the anchored boat and your baited lines will be trailing in the other direction. Not the best situation.

Planning for this can prevent last-minute surprises. p

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

BY THE EDITORS AT ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Wait, What?

During a preliminary hearing on May 16 in Saginaw County (Michigan) District Court, a 32-year-old unidentified woman testified that her “friend with benefits,” 29-year-old Cortez L. Gill, accidentally shot her once on Nov. 11— but then proceeded to shoot her eight more times as she and her child struggled to escape him. MLive.com reported that the victim explained that she and Gill “tussled” over some car keys and he pulled out a gun, which he lowered to the ground. “The gun goes off and the bullet hit me ... in my abdomen. ... I was like, ‘Cortez, I got hit. You have to call the police or get me in the car and take me to the hospital immediately.’”

Instead, she said, Gill replied, “You see what you made me do?” and fired again at her, hitting her in the chest. She and her daughter ran outside, where she collapsed in a neighbor’s yard. The next thing she remembers is waking up in a hospital on the day before Thanksgiving, where she learned that she had been shot nine times in total. Gill was bound over for trial.

Crotch Shot

Shocking

Kingsland, Arkansas, about 70 miles south of Little Rock, is the birthplace of Johnny Cash, and the town has honored him with a silhouette of the Man in Black on its water tower, The Wichita Eagle reported. But when Betty Graham, water office manager, arrived at her office early on May 11, she noticed what she first thought was a leak from the tower. Later she realized a sharpshooter had hit the tank right at Cash’s sweet spot, creating the illusion that the famous singer is relieving himself.

Graham said it could take at least a week to repair the damage; in the meantime, comments on a local Facebook page ranged from “would be a better tourist attraction than Old Faithful” to “Someone here knows who did this. I hope they’ll come forward and turn the vandal in.” “People think it’s funny, but a lot of hard work and effort went into getting the grant to get this painted,” Graham said.

During an electrical storm on May 16, 15-year-old Giana Scaramuzzo of North Huntingdon Township, Pennsylvania, was inside her home when she was struck by lightning, WTAE-TV reported. At least four other homes in the area were also hit during the storm.

“All of a sudden I feel like a shock in my pinkie, and then it goes up my body and out through my leg,” Scaramuzzo said about the strike. Paramedics checked her blood pressure and took an EKG, but, shockingly, she didn’t go to the hospital.

Skills Ayumi Takada, 37, of Tokyo, has been compared to Elastigirl from The Incredibles because of her incredibly elastic earlobes. Oddity Central reports that Ayumi can stretch her earlobes up to 4.5 centimeters, or about 1 1/2 inches—enough to, say, wrap them around a selfie stick, a calligraphy brush or the shaft of an umbrella. It’s practically like having another hand. “People always ask me if it’s painful,” she said.

“But there’s no pain at all when pulling them or holding an item. The earlobe naturally bounces right back into place straight away.”

Students at Johns Hopkins University are putting their expensive education to good use. Whiting School of Engineering students have invented Tastee Tape for their school’s Engineering Design Day, United Press International reported. The chemical and biomolecular engineering students hope their invention will help themselves and others make their favorite foods less messy by taping burritos, tacos and other dishes closed, keeping the fillings inside. “All its ingredients are safe to consume, are food-grade, and are common food and dietary additives,” said team member Tyler Guarino. They are in the process of obtaining a patent.

‘I’ll Have a Beer’ Olaf Brewing in Finland is launching a new brew to celebrate the country’s likely acceptance to NATO, the Associated Press reported. The “OTAN” lager’s blue label, with its cartoon medieval knight and NATO’s compass symbol, uses a play on the French abbreviation for the multinational organization, OTAN. In Finnish, “Otan olutta” means “I’ll have a beer.” CEO Petteri Vanttinen said the new lager has “a taste of security, with a hint of freedom.” Finland shares an 830-mile border with Russia, the longest of any European Union member.

On May 10, Fox11-TV reported, Sharp admitted that he had downloaded and distributed child pornography. After conducting a search of his digital devices, police also found a video of him urinating into a container of milkshake mix from Arby’s. He confessed that he had done so at least twice for sexual gratification. Sharp said it would have been added to another bag of mix and used during the next shift to make shakes for customers. Officers are seeking people who might have ordered a shake on Oct. 30 or 31, 2021, and still have a receipt; Sharp is facing multiple charges and eating institutional food at the Clark County jail.

For Alexander Leszczynski, 22, of North Redington Beach, Florida, it wasn’t enough to be charged with wire fraud, bank fraud and money laundering, the Tampa Bay Times reported. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Tampa claimed Leszczynski might face up to 30 years in prison for making up charitable entities to receive Payroll Protection Plan loans totaling almost $200,000 and trying to deposit fake checks to the tune of $2.7 million, among other schemes. But wait, there’s more! “When he discovered that the money had been frozen, he attempted to have it released by producing a fabricated pardon purportedly signed by former President Donald Trump,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a news release. One of Leszczynski’s fake charities was trying to seize control of two properties that belonged to Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier who died in prison while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. Leszczynski is being held without bail at the Pinellas County Jail.

Irvine, California, police were tipped off on May 17 by neighbors to a suspicious vehicle belonging to Yasmine Kambour, 37, and Chris Huynh, 44, of Garden Grove. The 2008 Mercedes-Benz C300 looked innocent enough, but, as NBC4-TV reported, it had some unusual features that James Bond might have appreciated. “The suspect vehicle was something out of a 007 movie,” police posted on Instagram. “Officers discovered a device that would flip the vehicle’s license plate with the push of a button and an elaborate gas siphoning device that transferred fuel directly into the vehicle’s gas tank.” They also found burglary tools, evidence of ID theft and stolen property. The pair were arrested on multiple charges and held for bail. Low bail.

Let Someone Else Eat Cake A birthday party for an employee at Gravity Diagnostics in Kentucky cost the company $450,000, but it wasn’t an expensive cake and decorations that ran up the bill, WLKY-TV reported.

The employee, whose birthday fell on Aug. 7, asked the office manager days before to forgo the usual celebration because such affairs trigger his anxiety disorder, and “being the center of attention” would cause him to suffer a panic attack. However, the manager went ahead with planning a lunchtime to-do in the break room, which caused the guest of honor to flee to his car to eat his lunch. The next day, the birthday boy was called into a meeting and scolded for his reaction and was later fired “because of the events of the previous week,” according to a lawsuit he filed against the company. In the suit, the former employee said the company didn’t accommodate his anxiety disorder and caused him to suffer a “loss of income and benefits and emotional distress and mental anxiety.” The Kenton County jury agreed and awarded him p the six-figure amount.
