Flags, Family and Freedom

ow will you spend your long holiday weekend? Will you be having friends and family over for a cookout and then heading to an area fireworks display? I hope so, as they are back and better than ever this year. I know I missed the lights and booms over the last couple of years—although my dog hates me admitting that. As a child I loved going down to the fireworks display in my hometown. We would line up along the levees of the Red River—the luckiest ones had truck beds to lay down in—and crane our necks to watch this miracle of gunpowder and chemistry. This was long before pyrotechnics got fancy with their musical theatrics and microchip timing. I think we just tuned into a local radio station that played patriotic music while the show unwound. Chesapeake Country is blessed to have so many opportunities to see these patriotic displays in the sky. If you can get on the water to watch, I hear it is a view unlike any other. (Just remember, there are those among us, pets and people, who hate the noise, so be mindful of the hour and your proximity to homes!) It’s the highlight of summer, when we head outdoors and join our neighbors in community parades and picnics, spending the day at the pool or the beach. Many of us will travel, thanks to the holiday falling on a Monday. I plan to

visit family I missed seeing at my son’s graduation because I fell victim to that nasty virus on the very same week. Independence Day is special. It’s a time for us to remember just how bless-

It’s a time for us to remember just how blessed we are to live in this land of the free and home of the brave. We need to continue to work to protect those freedoms. ed we are to live in this land of the free and home of the brave. We need to continue to work to protect those freedoms. Gov. Hogan proclaimed June 28 as Freedom of the Press Day in Maryland, in memory of the five Capital Gazette staffers who were murdered four years ago. Tuesday, Annapolis and Anne Arundel County officials, families and friends placed a wreath at the small

park dedicated to their memory, known as the Guardians of the First Amendment Memorial. The proclamation states, “Whereas, The Founding Fathers of the United States recognized the vital importance of a free press to uphold the nation’s democracy through the inclusion of the right to a free press in the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America; and Whereas, Other nations throughout the world do not enjoy this right...”, and it goes on to name Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiaasen, John McNamara, Rebecca Smith and Wendi Winters, the five people killed in the Annapolis newsroom. While we may not have been working in the same buildings under the same company name, the CBM Bay Weekly staff considers them our colleagues and mourns them, too. Thank you for supporting our local press, by picking up this paper or reading us online. We love hearing from you and I hope you will thank those local businesses that advertise in our pages or distribute our print version each week. p Kathy Knotts is managing editor of CBM Bay Weekly.

SOUTHERN MD SEAFOOD SELLERS FACE 100 CHARGES OF ILLEGAL OYSTER ACTIVITY BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

ANNAPOLIS MAYOR WINS FIGHT OVER PERSONAL VESSEL DOCKING PRIVILEGES BY KATHY KNOTTS

n a waterfront city where the mayor often arrives to work and events by boat, a resolution to deputize his personal vessel created a bit of a storm. In the end though, Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley got his wish. Late Monday evening a resolution brought before the city council to have the mayor’s rigid-hull inflatable boat deputized passed with just one vote against. After a contentious clash between neighbors and city officials, Buckley will be allowed to dock his boat at community docks when using it for city purposes. The issue arose after the mayor’s 17-foot Brig was ticketed by the Harbormaster for docking in a space reserved for smaller boats. The street-end dinghy docks are for vessels under 12 feet and with motors under 25 horsepower. On Ego Alley, near the Alex Haley statue, the free dinghy docks can accommodate 17-feet and under vessels. The passage of City Council Resolution R-39-22 means the mayor’s personal vessel may be used for “officially demonstrating that water transportation is a viable option in Annapolis that will reduce road congestion and greenhouse gas emissions.” “When I come down on a boat, it means one less car downtown,” said Buckley. “When I’m motoring around the city I’m doing 6 knots, I’m not burning a ton of fuel.” Buckley says that his role as an ambassador for the city means he should have the opportunity to take dignitaries and community members to waterways that are otherwise inaccessible, to show off living shorelines and access projects. The resolution also allows him to use his personal vessel as a means of transportation between his residence and loca-

tions for governmental activities. It also means the city may deploy him and his vessel for public service use as needed. “I apologize for any hardship I’ve made for people,” he added. “I use one cleat, I’m not displacing anyone.”

Passage of City Council Resolution R-39-22 means the mayor’s personal vessel may be used for “officially demonstrating that water transportation is a viable option in Annapolis that will reduce road congestion and greenhouse gas emissions.” Several members of the public came forward to challenge the resolution and what they call the mayor’s “entitlement.” “I object to changing the rule,” said Richard Montaner of Annapolis. “There’s an application that I have to sign, and the mayor has to sign, every year for a mooring with a slip that goes with it… The city code says dinghies up to 12 feet

in length at street endings, every street has the same sign that has been posted for years and years. I take exception to his three ‘Es’: exceptional, exempt, and entitled. I don’t object that you want to put it on the small streets, but follow the rules. It’s a matter of decency.” “I object to the hubris,” said resident Sandra Elwood. “That we would have our CEO, our mayor, exempt himself from the same rules that every other citizen must follow…there’s a code of ethics for all city employees to follow. It appears innocuous, but it is an overreach to let an elected official have privileges that no one else enjoys…He knew his boat was too big, it’s the essence of entitlement. Walk from Lafayette Park to your home, just like everybody else.” Under the resolution, the mayor will pay all expenses for the maintenance, insurance, fuel and storage for personal vessels used. “The mayor is the principal representative of the city,” said Alderwoman Elly Tierney. “I was fortunate to join the mayor to go out and meet the Maiden [the world-famous all-female round-theworld racing boat that visited Annapolis last month] and I saw that this is a good opportunity for using the boat in that capacity. We are the maritime capital, no matter what Newport [Rhode Island, where the National Sailing Hall of Fame recently relocated] thinks. It was legally vetted, and any ethics concerns residents have can submit that to our ethics commission. We have miles of shoreline and we have a major infrastructure project to prevent sea level rise that affects all of us and the mayor will be and has been instrumental in securing funding — he can’t do that on a paddleboard.” “Annapolis is a maritime community,” added John Martino, CEO of Chesapeake Bay Media and the Annapolis School of Seamanship located in Eastport. “It’s altogether appropriate and positive that our mayor commutes to work by boat and acts as our ambassador. How many cities can say that?”

Several employees of Nelson Seafood in St. Mary’s County were charged with illegal oyster practices. Facebook photo. gaged in illegal practices at Nelson Seafood in Hollywood. After a tip from the public, NRP began an investigation and conducted surveillance of Nelson Seafood throughout March 2022. During the investigation NRP says, “Officers observed three individuals participating in illegal commercial oystering-related activities, including selling and harvesting while on suspended and revoked licenses.” NRP also reports Nelson Seafood was engaging in false oyster reporting, false tagging, and storing oysters improperly, in an unlicensed cooler facility. The six employees charged were Caleb Hancock, 20; Andrew Nelson, 26; Robert Nelson Jr., 39; James Nelson, 45; Tyler Nelson, 19; and Melanie Wheeler, 43. Police issued a total of more than 100 charges against them in April 2022, including many health department violations for storage and facility licensing. Proper storage and refrigeration of oysters is essential because they are often eaten raw, and the risk of illness through bacteria can be high. If they are convicted, the seafood workers face fines from $350 to $25,000 and up to one year in jail.

LOCAL SEAFOOD ON DISPLAY IN COMPETITION BY CHERYL COSTELLO

estaurant chefs from all over the state are putting their best plate forward in hopes of being chosen as Maryland’s Best Chef. The Maryland Department of Agriculture and Maryland Restaurant Association are calling for original recipes using locally produced foods from Maryland watermen and farmers. The best recipes will be prepared for Governor Larry Hogan’s Buy Local Cookout in mid-July. And the best of the best will win a “Golden Ticket” to the World Food Championships in Dallas, Texas. Bay Bulletin joined chef Zack Trabbold of The Local in Fallston, Harford

County, to cook one of last year’s winning dishes. Trabbold, The Local’s owner and executive chef, cooked up some award-winning blue catfish (an invasive species that’s a growing fishery on the Bay). He’s not giving away all his secrets, but he showed us a recipe similar to the one he’ll be using in this year’s competition. “We have our local blue catfish, which we just breaded a little bit. We soaked in buttermilk, some seasoned buttermilk, and then just seasoned flour and then a little bit of panko with some other herbs and seasonings in it … We got our pan hot, smoking a little bit. We don’t want it to get too hot. And then

we’ll go ahead and shake off that excess and just lay the fish down into the pan.” Then he sautés some local vegetables and adds in white wine. “This is our rosemary, sweet onion, Old Bay hot sauce,” he says. And presentation is everything. Trabbold splatters the sauce on the plate, putting vegetables on next and topping it with the catfish. “You eat with your eyes first,” he says. Blue catfish is a must if you enter the state’s seafood category this year. “It actually helps the waters,” Trabbold says. “Everybody loves crabs. If we don’t start eating this catfish, we’re not going to have crabs to eat.” And it’s tasty, too. “In my opinion, the catfish is very mild in flavor,” he says. “It’s flaky. It reminds me a lot of the tex-

ture of rockfish, which everyone loves in Maryland. Maybe we can get them on the boat of the local blue catfish instead.” Trabbold is the reigning champion of the state’s Best Chef competition. His team from The Local went on to compete in Dallas at the World Food Championships last year and placed in the top 10. This year’s competition will be held July 21. Recipes should be submitted by July 6 and they must include products from a Maryland farmer, waterman or other producer. The Local team says by doing that, they’re able to tell diners where their food is coming from, that it was raised properly and isn’t harming the environment. Plus, it supports producers in the community. The Local takes pride in buying from

BAY BULLETIN local watermen. “You can get catfish at a sustainable price and if you prepare it right, it’s going to give you some of the same textures as other fish with the mild taste and flakiness,” says Chef Chris Yates. That’s the goal of the Maryland Department of Agriculture. “We’re just trying to increase public knowledge of the taste and quality you can find in blue catfish,” says agriculture department spokesperson Audrey Broomfield. “And the only way to curb the population of that invasive species

“We agree with the sponsors of the legislation that we need to simplify our code as it relates to these businesses. Our code is outdated.”

Blue catfish is a must if you enter the state’s seafood category this year. is through the public consuming it,” A team representing chefs, farmers, watermen and consumers will choose the winning recipes. Chefs selected to attend the governor’s cookout will be given a $200 stipend to help with the cost of participating. “I always tell a lot of my chefs who are new in the kitchen, ‘You’ve got to get comfortable with being uncomfortable and try new things. You’ve got to taste everything in the kitchen.’ So, I think it’s the same feel for people as well,” says Trabbold. Blue catfish may help us all get out of our comfort zone.

Talks Continue on Nurseries Bill BY PAT PIPER

here’s agreement between the Anne Arundel County council and county administrators that nurseries need some legislative help to stay in business. A bill designed to do just that is in the works but how it will be implemented continues to be a topic of discus-

sion and debate. Bill 57-22 was presented at the June 21 council meeting and had 17 residents appear in person supporting the measure with another 120 emailed submissions. Bill sponsor and 7th District board member Jessica Haire told the meeting, “The way our definition currently reads is nursery items must be gown onsite or established in the ground. These days, plants are grown in containers, either because they’re sourced from a spe-

cialty location or they’re not native to this area.” There’s no argument from County Director of Government Relations Peter Baron, “We agree with the sponsors of the legislation that we need to simplify our code as it relates to these businesses. Our code is outdated.” Two local businesses facing legal action by the county were present to urge the council to make change happen, saying their businesses are doing good and providing resources to the communities. Riva Gardens and Farm Market owner Dave Morehead told the panel, See NURSERIES on page 7

POW Presented with Medal BY SUSAN NOLAN

en. Chris Van Hollen called Ron Dolecki’s story “heroic” at a ceremony honoring the Huntingtown resident on June 23. Few would disagree. CBM Bay Weekly readers may remember we reported on Dolecki in April of this year. In 1965, he was a 20-yearold Army specialist serving in Ethiopia when he and two other men were taken prisoner by the Eritrean Liberation Front. At the time, the separationist group was at war with their national government. Dolecki, helicopter pilot Chief Warrant Officer Jack Kalmbach and their Ethiopian translator Habte “Sam” Mesme endured brutal treatment at the hands of their captors before he escaped and made the dangerous trek across enemy territory. Thanks to Dolecki’s courageous efforts, he and his fellow prisoners survived the ordeal. Now, 57 years later, Dolecki has finally received not only the recognition, but his Prisoner of War Medal, too. He began petitioning the Army for the award in 2004 after his wife secretly applied for it on his behalf. She received a rejection letter. That rejection began an 18-year fight to get Dolecki his medal. Over the years, he enlisted the help of Sens. Paul Sarbanes, Barbara Mikulski, Ben Cardin and most recently Chris Van

Hollen. Military historian and attorney Dr. Dwight Mears took up Dolecki’s cause pro bono. Van Hollen wrote the Secretary of the Army twice and included a clause in the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act directing the Army to correct its previous misapplication. On March 31, Van Hollen’s office announced Dolecki would receive the award. Almost three months later, Dolecki now has it in his hands. “I am relieved to have the ordeal behind me,” Dolecki says. He described the POW Medal ceremony as, “Fabulous. A truly fantastic occasion for my family and me.” Dolecki was joined by his wife Linda, daughter Lesley Keller and grandson Christian Dolecki. General Mark S. Bennett presented the POW Medal on behalf of the U.S. Army. In addition to Van Hollen, Sen. Ben Cardin was on hand. “We cannot overstate our gratitude for all the sacrifices made by Specialist Dolecki while serving this country. He is a hero who endured excruciating conditions while held captive,” Cardin said in his opening remarks. “It is a privilege to join in honoring Mr. Dolecki for his incredible spirit, patriotism, grit and bravery.” Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner of Virginia were also present to honor their constituent David Strickland, who was also awarded the POW Medal after being held captive by the Eritrean Liberation Front in 1975.

Restaurateurs to open Garten by Preserve BY CHELSEA HARRISON

ichelle and Jeremy Hoffman, the owners of Preserve in Annapolis, are bringing their innovative, farmto-table cuisine to Severna Park this summer. The couple have transformed the former Café Bretton space, at 849 Baltimore Annapolis Blvd., into a biergarten-inspired restaurant, called Garten by Preserve, that will feature classic German food, some French dishes, as well as some Preserve favorites. The Hoffmans lived in Brooklyn before they opened Preserve in 2015. They say they wanted to give Chesapeake Country the same atmosphere they had found at beer gardens in their old New York neighborhood. As the name implies, Preserve’s cuisine incorporates many ingredients that are fermented, pickled, or preserved, and Garten’s German-inspired dishes will lean on these methods as well. The

menu will feature cheese and charcuterie, sausage sandwiches, schnitzel, pickles, the fan favorite G Burger (bratwurst patties with smoked provolone, pickles, onions, lettuce, and curry ketchup aioli), as well as other unique creations from Chef Greg Anderson, Garten’s chef de cuisine, and his team. See GARTEN on next page

Ingredients 3 Tbsp. Jasmine Gold Dragon 4 oz. (8 Tbsp.) unsalted butter 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 6-3/4 oz. (1-1/2 cups) unbleached all-purpose flour 1 tsp. ground ginger 1/4 tsp. table salt 2 large eggs 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 tsp. finely grated orange zest 1 tsp. baking soda 1/3 cup (1-3/4 oz.) dried cranberries; for garnish 4 oz. (1 cup) confectioners’ sugar, sifted

“I’m pretty sure you saw how this little place brought the community together.” Bay Ridge Nursery owner Lori Alton testified about her first-hand experience with the current rules. “The county gave us a certificate 8 years ago and now they tell us we have the wrong one. We’re doing the same thing.” The board approved two of the three changes proposed by the county. Talks continue on finding common ground on the third. The county wants clarification on how nurseries use their land, both for zoning inspectors as well as nursery and garden center owners. At issue is what products fall under principal use, accessory use, storage use, accessory landscape, tree operations

and whether all are within established land use parameters. For example, if mulch or decorative stones are stored at the nursery and made available for retail sales to customers, can it also be considered part of landscaping services or is it considered separate? The county wants a 30 percent limit for storage out of concern trucks may move the mulch or stonework for landscaping jobs while in a residential neighborhood. Deputy Chief Administrator for Land Use Lori Rhodes says the amendment will resolve the enforcement and violation problem faced by inspectors. That will be part of the discussion prior to the next board meeting on July 5. One person attending the meeting sees it this way: “It’s the clash of regulation and common sense—two things that never really go well together.”

Directions Pre-heat oven with rack to 350°F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. Bring 1 cup water to 175°F, stir in tea, and steep for 3 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. In a 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Stir in brown sugar and honey, let cool. Combine flour, ginger, and salt, pulse to blend. Scrape in butter mixture and blend. Add eggs, vanilla, and orange zest and process until combined. Stir baking soda into 1/2 cup of tea. Add to batter along with cranberries, and pulse. Portion batter among the muffin cups, filling each about full. Bake, rotating halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out with moist crumbs, about 15 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack. Once cool, remove muffins from pan. Combine confectioners’ sugar with 1 Tbsp. of remaining tea. Whisk, adding more tea 1 tsp. at a time as necessary to make a thick, pourable icing. Drizzle over cooled muffins, sprinkle with a few dried cranberries, and let set about 15 minutes before serving.

The nearly 2-acre property includes large garden beds that the Hoffmans plan to put to use to help stock the kitchen and bar. Bee boxes left on the property will be rehabbed so the restaurant can begin sourcing its own honey. “Part of our culinary mission is sourcing local and sustainable products, using all the land gives us, getting back to the old way of cooking but still keeping it delicious and fun,” Michelle Hoffman explained. A “small-but-mighty” four-tap beer system will feature local brews and European imports. Garten has partnered with Pherm Brewing of Gambrills to create a house beer. Don’t let the “bier” in biergarten fool you; Garten will also feature a selection of natural wines, vermouth and amaro spritzers, crafted frosés, a tasting room, and full bar. If the cocktail menu at Preserve gives any hints as to what one can expect at Garten, look forward to a modest number of selections, but each packed with distinctive flavors. Delaney Pendry, who has been with Preserve for four years, is the leadership behind the bar at Garten and plans to use herbs, botanicals, and blooms from the garden in her cocktail creations. The restaurant will have indoor and outdoor seating options for 140 guests, with some traditional biergarten wooden picnic tables with pergolas for shade. Hoffman wants diners to feel like “they have a wonderful space that’s part of their community … an extension of their own backyard.” Perhaps the most notable change so far has been the addition of a Maryland-themed mural on the south-facing side of the exterior. The mural is “inspirational for our garden,” says Michelle, and offers “nods to the natural landscape.” The mural is the work of artist Jeff Huntington aka Jahru, who has also created many of Annapolis’ nowiconic murals. The Hoffmans appreciate that Café Bretton was a beloved place to many and they hope to honor the community’s memories and fondness for the space. Garten opens this summer. More at: garten-eats.com.

wound up in its very own genre called “hard-boiled” fiction, a special crime category that lumped detectives, corrupt politicians, sex, and violence all together. One of his biographers, David Madden, calls him “the 20-minute egg of the hard-boiled school.” That is to say, very, very hard. Cain didn’t see it that way. As a boy, Cain grew up in a faculty duplex at St. John’s College (now the Paca-Carroll dorm) where his father taught English and mathematics. The eldest of five children, Cain was often described as a klutz and a misfit. His parents

ever since. A novelist, journalist, and screenwriter, he’s best known for his masterpieces of noir fiction, including The Postman Always Rings Twice (1934), Double Indemnity (1936), and Mildred Pierce (1941). His fiction gained the reputation for being nitty-gritty and

were rigorously educated—his father had gone to Yale and his mother was an opera singer—and often drilled the young Cain in grammar until it became “impeccable.” As a result, he’d been encouraged by his parents to skip two grades, up from third to fifth, which Cain quickly regretted. He became self-conscious, particularly noting how his classmates were well ahead of him in puberty. When he turned 11, Cain and his family moved to Chestertown where he became a voracious reader. Still, he was bullied and felt as if he didn’t belong there. It was around this time, though, that he had developed an interest in the colloquial speech of working See CAIN on next page

class people—the “vulgate,” as he called it—which he had picked up from local bricklayers. It would later influence the way he penned his dialogue: simple, short, and true to life. Cain spent a while doing odd jobs after graduating from Washington College—he was a teacher, a road inspector, an insurance salesman, and even a Victrola dealer before entering journalism. In 1917 he was hired as a police reporter for the Baltimore American before a stint as a signalman for the military. After he returned, he went to work for the Baltimore Sun, then as a professor at St. John’s College for a year before he was fired for arguing with the college president. Maryland and the Eastern Shore always seemed to be the wrong place for Cain. He found better luck in California, the setting of his first and most successful novel, The Postman Always Rings Twice. In an interview, he said, “When I got to California I found the people there spoke my lingo. They use a little better grammar in California than they do in Maryland.” But even if he felt more at home on the West Coast, it still seemed like the Eastern Shore had a special place in Cain’s heart. In a 1933 cover story for the American Mercury magazine, Cain spoke about the relative comfort of Delmarva, comparing its predictable seasons with the alien ones of Los Angeles. “The citrus trees flower and bear all at the same time: you never get a riot of blossoms as you do in Western Maryland when the apple trees are in bloom, or a catharsis of stinking, primitive accomplishment as you do in Delaware when the tomatoes go to the cannery. Here [Los Angeles] the oil wells flow right along, so do the orange trees, so does everything. It is terrifying.” In 1947, Cain and his wife returned to Maryland and settled in Hyattsville, where he lived for the rest of his life, continuing to publish novels into his 80s. In honor of his birthday, let’s toast this father of the hard-boiled genre and master of noir, an accomplished yet under-celebrated figure in Maryland’s history that made an indelible mark on literature.

en Starkes sees teens as capable and full of potential. Both as club director for the Boys & Girls Club at Bates Middle School from 2015 to 2017 and now as outreach coordinator for Maryland Hall, he has let the young people he mentors lead the way. “I don’t tell them what to do,” he says. “They are full of ideas. They have great ideas.”

Hood2Good (H2G) is one of those great ideas. The youth organization was founded by Annapolis teens in response to 17-year-old Terry Bosley’s 2007 murder. In 2020, it became a part of Maryland Hall’s Artreach Program with youth continuing to be its driving force. Frequently collaborating with the City of Annapolis, the movement has grown into a three-prong organization focusing on community service events, community engagement and youth showcases.

Starkes knows Allen is up for the job. “It’s a lot of work,” he says, “But I know that when this show is over, she’ll know she can do anything.” Allen’s interest in the program stems from her desire to see more activities for Annapolis’ young people. “At first, I mainly kept my ideas to myself, but then, I really wanted to create something for people my age to do,” she says. Nineteen-year-old Jalen Lamkin is playing a crucial role in the H2G Youth Summer Bash, too. Until 2020, Lamkin, a student at the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music, stayed behind the scenes operating the video and sound equipment. Now, he raps under the name Room-41-More and is one of the show’s featured artists. He has invested in karaoke machines that allow him to take his performances outside to be more accessible. “My unique trait for artistry is that I go out and perform live,” he says. See the artists hone their skills at the Maryland Hall show July 6 (7pm), then catch them at City Dock on July 10 for what Starkes calls “the main event.

A GUIDE TO JULY 4TH IN CHESAPEAKE COUNTRY B Y M I C H A I L A S H A H A N A N D K AT H Y K N O T T S

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

T’S THE BIRTHDAY of our nation and summer’s biggest party. July 4 is the date the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, although it wasn’t actually signed until August. The 13 colonies had made their official break from Great Britain. Regular observance of the secular holiday didn’t really become common until after the War of 1812. Americans mark July 4th with loud

colorful pyrotechnics and cars pulling homemade dioramas on trailers. We fire up the grills for burgers and hot dogs then cool down with watermelon and popsicles. Then we watch the skies explode with light.

Minions: The Rise of Gru

Franchise finally learns to embrace the goofy madness ONLY IN THEATERS

n the mid-1970s, disco is king, the bottoms are belled, and a young Gru (Steve Carell: Space Force) is just getting into the villain game. Though he’s still in elementary school, he’s got big plans: He wants to join the Vicious Six, a villain supergroup started by Gru’s evil idol Wild Knuckles (Alan Arkin: The Kominsky Method). Backing him up are his steadfastly loyal and overwhelmingly incompetent Minions (voiced by Pierre Coffin). The tiny yellow creatures love Gru and are fully committed to helping him achieve super-villainy before he can drive. When Wild Knuckles suddenly dies, there’s an opening in the Vicious Six and Gru is invited to audition. At his tryout, Gru is immediately dismissed because he’s a kid. The Six’s new leader, Belle Bottom (Taraji P. Henson: Annie Live!), tells him to scram and Gru sees red. While the team is distracted with another candidate, Gru steals a sacred stone that offers the wearer special powers. It’s the heist of the century and Gru is sure stealing from his idols will make them accept him. There’s only one problem. Minion Otto has traded the sacred stone for a pet rock (it is the ‘70s, after all). Now Gru and the Minions must find the real stone before the Vicious Six find them. After five feature films, countless shorts and video games, audiences know who the Minions are (if you don’t, they’re the little yellow creatures in all the memes your aunt posts on Facebook), but filmmakers have had a hard time using them to their full potential. Partly because the Minions themselves work best as comic relief, and partly due to the character of Gru becoming a millstone around the franchise’s neck. Gru’s not that

Director Kyle Balda decides to side-step Gru’s problematic character development and focus on what both kids and adults enjoy: Minion antics. evil, he’s not that funny, and he seems to “find the true meaning of family” in every movie—he should really write that down somewhere. Director Kyle Balda (Despicable Me 3) decides to side-step Gru’s problematic character development and focus on what both kids and adults enjoy: Minion antics. The critters are essentially agents of chaos. They screw up everything until they accidentally stumble upon something that fixes all the problems they’ve caused. Think of them as a slightly more altruistic version of Bugs Bunny. This film is a breezy tribute to their antics without ever feeling mawkish or dragging. By leaning into Minions fun, the movie is lighter and overall pretty darn funny. There’s the usual silly slapstick, including a few Minion behinds, which is now a running gag. But watching a Minion choral group cover The Rolling Stones or go on an adventure with a biker voiced by RZA is infinitely more entertaining than watching Gru scheme to do something only to be foiled by his conscience. Balda also throws in some great gags for adults, my favorite being a crab-

clawed villain named Jean-Clawed, voiced by Jean-Claude Van Damme. The entire opening of the film is also an inspired spoof of Raiders of the Lost Ark that had older audience members hooting. The other great strength of the film is some truly game work from its cast. Henson is doing her best Pam Grier as a ‘70s baddie. Michelle Yeoh, who’s having an incredible year, is a hilarious kung-fu teacher tasked with getting a trio of Minions in fighting

shape. And the most heartfelt performance comes from Arkin as a lonely villain who might just need someone to mentor. Ironically, by embracing the chaos of the Minions and putting the “emotional growth” stories on the backburner, Minions: The Rise of Gru becomes a stronger movie. If you’re in the mood for something silly, or just want a film that will captivate the kids, The Rise of Gru is a safe bet. Good Animation * PG * 87 mins.

CREATURE FEATURE

STORY AND PHOTO BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

Visiting Rare Grasslands

efore the great western land rush of 1850, grasslands covered about one third of North America. In the Midwest, vast tall grass prairies grew on very rich soils. The prairie grass has 75 percent of its mass in its deep underground roots making those grasses both drought- and fire-resistant. Native Americans would routinely set fire to these grasslands, forcing animals toward hunters, removing scrubs and trees from the landscape and stimulating fresh renewed growth. Without these recurrent fires or cuttings, shrubs and trees would replace the tall grasses. Less than one percent of those grasslands are present today. There is a unique type of grassland here in Maryland. In the 1600s, there were thousands of acres of grasslands made up of several short grasses able to live in soils with a high concentration of magnesium silicate called serpentine. Serpentine soils are inhospitable to most plants. These serpentine grasslands extended from an area northwest of Baltimore and into southern Pennsylvania. The native people maintained them by routine burning. European settlers referred to the area as “barrens” since the landscape is treeless and their crops would not grow there. Now, because of development, mining and the lack of recurrent fires,

Along with the habitat, the animals of the grasslands have been disappearing, too. Since 1970, the population of grassland birds has dropped by 50 percent. only four small patches of those serpentine grasslands still exist. Rare and unique plants still live in those areas. The largest serpentine grassland is within the Soldiers Delight Natural Environment Area near Owings Mills. Along with the habitat, the animals of the grasslands have been disappearing, too. Since 1970, the population of grassland birds has dropped by 50 percent. From the 1600s to 1970, the loss of other animals, plus the birds, has been staggering but not easily quantifiable. There have been efforts to expand the

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), part of the USDA, offers technical and financial assistance to farmers to “restore and manage grassland bird habitat in Maryland” through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). Many bird species need undisturbed grasslands for nesting and feeding and NRCS outlines ways farmers and landowners can provide the needed native grasses for the right amount of time. Because of the lack of local grassland habitat, many birding enthusiasts that

I have recently talked to have never seen grassland birds like a grasshopper sparrow, a bobolink, dickcissel, upland sandpiper, Henslow’s sparrow or vesper sparrow. Programs like EQIP are helping to re-establish these formerly common birds. If you are a farmer or own large fields, I encourage you to look into this program. To see well-maintained grassland, visit the serpentine barrens at either Soldiers Delight State Park or Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area in Cecil County (Black Bridge Road access point). During summer, I recommend you visit in the early morning. p

Cilantro tends to bolt when it gets too hot. There are varieties that are slow to bolt, such as Santo and Slo-bolt, with Calypso the slowest. Slo-bolt cilantro withstands the heat the best. Cilantro is rich in antioxidants called polyphenolic flavonoids, and it contains the minerals iron, copper, manganese, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. It also contains significant amounts of vitamin A, C, K, folic acid, niacin, ribo-

flavin, and beta-carotene. Cilantro leaves do not dry well, but can be frozen in ice cubes. Cilantro is great in guacamole for summer dishes. Coarsely mash four ripe avocados. Then add the juice from two limes, one clove of garlic, ¼ cup chopped onion, ¼ teaspoon cumin, and one chopped jalapeno. Add ½ cup chopped cilantro and don’t over-blend. It’s best left chunky. Yum! p

Love It or Hate It, Cilantro is Easy to Grow

ilantro or Coriandrum sativum is a wonderful culinary herb, but people either love it or hate it. It’s one of the most used herbs throughout the world. It’s used in the cuisines of the Middle East, the Mediterranean, India, China, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa. The plant’s leaves are what we know as cilantro, and the brown seeds are known as coriander. The plant grows 1 to 2 feet tall and bears small, umbel flowers in white to pale pink. Cilantro is the Spanish word for the leaves of the coriander plant, which some people think smells like stink bugs. The green fruits smell and taste of the foliage as they transition to brown and acquire a nutty-like taste. It’s best to plant cilantro after a frost, but while the weather is still cool. You can use shade cloth or partial shade to extend the period of foliage harvest. I like to start cilantro in early spring by sowing it indoors in March and planting it outdoors by late April. You can also sow the seeds directly in the soil as

Germination can be enhanced if you rub the seeds to separate the halves and soak them for three to four days and let them dry before planting. Early fall cilantro planting will produce leaves for several weeks. Harvest the outer leaves first.

SPORTING LIFE

STORY AND PHOTO BY DENNIS DOYLE

Catfish Spawn Creating Angling Drama

ur newest Bay sport fish species, the blue, channel and flathead catfish, are definitely affecting the summer angling dynamic this year—namely by their spawn. While they’ve been widely available since early spring, these species have now started their reproduction routines and seem to prefer the Chesapeake Bay tributaries rather than the main stem in waters above 75 degrees. They individually select dark, submerged structures among large boulders and similar debris for the protection of their roe masses from tidal and river currents. There, the males prepare spawning beds to attract the females. Unfortunately none of these species will feed during this phase so expect them to be a bit more difficult to catch for the next few weeks. After depositing their yellow eggs in sticky masses, the females are then pushed off the beds by the males, who will fertilize the roe and guard the nesting sites (still fasting) for another six to 10 days until the eggs hatch. The hatchlings will remain nearby in a tight, compact group for up to two weeks, still guarded by the males, until they eventually disperse throughout the shallows to feed and grow, many to

reach prodigious sizes. Flatheads prefer the fresher waters of the tributaries for their spawn while blues and channels can tolerate just about anything saline in the Chesapeake, a detail that has totally surprised fisheries biologists who expected them to be contained in the fresher water areas. Virginia officials, who had continually stocked blue catfish in the James River beginning in the 1960s, estimated back in 2015 that the blue cat population in the Chesapeake had grown to about 100 million, according to an article in the Baltimore Sun (2019). In years past, I have occasionally caught rockfish with stomach contents of young catfish, 2 to 4 inches long. I suspect that the frequency of this discovery will increase dramatically as our stripers learn to key in on the increasing numbers of catfish reproducing in the Bay and the tendency of the newly hatched fingerlings to remain in small, densely packed schools. After spawning and protecting their offspring, all species of catfish will once again disperse throughout the tributaries and into the Bay main stem, feeding and moving to deeper waters for the rest of the summertime season.

The largest catfish (both blues and flatheads can exceed 100 pounds, the channel cats up to 50) will prefer the darker, deeper waters, especially those depths involving boulders, tree stumps, construction remains and similar debris. Now, and in the coming dog days, there is one period of time that is definitely better for catching the big, over 20-pound whiskerfish: nighttime. Since all catfish have poor eyesight but acute scent detection—thanks to their barbels and their skin—they do a lot of food foraging in the wee hours. Though they’ll eat almost everything

in the Bay—shellfish and crabs included—their favorite dish is generally a chunk of menhaden, mud shad, chicken breast, spot, white perch or even a night crawler. A bucket of frozen, ground menhaden in a chum net over the gunnel will definitely help them zero in on your baits. Although all hook types are legal for catfish, rockfish may well be drawn to your baits when chumming, so it’s a wise move to always use circle hooks and in a larger size than normal. You never know just how big your next fish will be. p

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

BY THE EDITORS AT ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION Creme de la Weird In an effort to better educate the world about the human reproductive system, the “intimate wellness brand” Intimina has introduced Period Crunch, a breakfast cereal with uterus-shaped, raspberry-flavored pieces that will color the milk red, Oddity Central reported. Alongside the startling cereal shape and red milk, the cereal box will feature a diagram of the female reproductive system so that people can learn about its location and function. The company surveyed 2,000 adults and discovered that 48% of women are embarrassed to talk about their menstrual periods and 77% have never brought it up in their households. “Periods are a natural part of who we are,” said Dr. Shree Datta, a gynecologist with Intimina, “so it’s deeply concerning to hear that so many people remain uncomfortable discussing them when they are just another part of our health.”

Hot Mail Things got heated in a Pasadena, Maryland, community on May 31: As residents waited for their mail, WBALTV reported, two letter carriers got into a fight in the street. One witness said that one of the mail carriers “punched the window on the other one’s mail truck,” and that “one backed up and slammed into the other one like bumper cars.” Another witness, Brenda Rippetoe, said, “There was mail all over the street. They kept going around the block, and at one point, they were frontto-front, hitting their bumpers together.” Residents called 911, and the postal service sent other carriers to pick up the mail, which was delivered by 7 p.m. People along the route said their regular carrier was on vacation, so the angry stand-ins were unfamiliar to them.

Police Report Orwell, Ohio, police called the Ashtabula County Sheriff’s Office to help them corral a drunk driving suspect on May 14—but it wasn’t your typical “reckless operator,” WOIO-TV reported. Twenty-one-year-old Nathan Miller was charged with OVI—operating a vehicle while intoxicated—for driving his horse-drawn Amish buggy on the wrong side of Hague Road. Officers were able to get in front of the horse and buggy, but the rig didn’t stop; it turned out Miller was passed out in the driver’s seat. While deputies tried

to get control of the horse, it crashed into a patrol car. Miller was treated for injuries at the scene.

Oops During a May 24 broadcast on the BBC of the French Open tennis championship, the news ticker at the bottom of the screen briefly read, “Manchester United are rubbish,” Reuters reported. Later, BBC anchor Annita McVeigh issued an on-air apology and said the headline had been written by someone who was learning how to operate the ticker. “Behind the scenes, someone was training to learn how to ... put text on the ticker. So they were just writing random things. It wasn’t meant to appear on screen. I hope that Manchester United fans weren’t offended by it,” she added.

Great Art In Parks, Louisiana, a rendering of the Last Supper in the St. Joseph Catholic Church has all the usual elements— plus one regionally iconic extra: a bottle of McIlhenny’s Tabasco hot sauce, conveniently placed in front of one of Jesus’ disciples. Pastor Nicholas DuPre said after he arrived in the parish in 2019, he heard from Shane Bernard, a curator and historian from McIlhenny, who wondered if the “urban myth” about the painting was true. When DuPre confirmed the product placement, Bernard sent a large commemorative collector’s bottle of Tabasco. Christie Hebert, the artist, told the Daily Advertiser that she was asked not to make the painting an exact replica of the DaVinci original; the priest at that time “wanted to make it unique to our area,” she said.

Bonus! • Vicky Umodu of Colton, California, was thrilled to find two free sofas and a matching chair on Craigslist for her new house. She was skeptical, but the owners explained that a family member had passed away, and they were liquidating the possessions, ABC7 News reported on June 2. When she got the furniture home, she felt some kind of item in one of the cushions and thought it might be a heating pad, but upon further inspection, she found several envelopes filled with cash. “I was just telling my son, ‘Come, come, come!’ I was screaming, ‘This is money! I need to call the guy!’” Umodu found a staggering $36,000 in total. She returned

the cash to the family, who told her they had found other hidden stashes in the deceased man’s home, but not such large amounts. As a gesture of thanks, they gave Umodu $2,200, money she needed for a refrigerator. “I was not expecting a dime from him, I was not,” she said. • WFIE-TV in Evansville, Indiana, reported on June 2 that Your Brother’s Bookstore has more to offer than just great reading material. As the new owners were preparing to open last year, they discovered a trap door that led to a room under the store. It was just a dusty opening with a hole in the wall, and they didn’t give it much thought until the Evansville African American Museum contacted them, thinking it might be related to the Underground Railroad. Museum officials investigated and learned the hole led to a tunnel that runs under the town’s Main Street. While there was no evidence of the abolitionist route, the owners did find artifacts related to Prohibition: a still, glass bottles, and tables and chairs that might have been part of a gambling den. The owners said they will make a small museum-quality exhibit in the store.

The Litigious Society GEICO General Insurance Co. must pay a woman identified only as M.O. a $5.2 million settlement, the Missouri Court of Appeals ruled on June 7, after she contracted the sexually transmitted disease HPV from an insured member during intimate relations in his automobile. The Kansas City Star reported that the Jackson County woman contacted GEICO in February 2021, and the company sent the case to arbitration. Four months later, the arbitrator found that the man was liable for not disclosing his infection status, and M.O. was awarded the large sum, to be paid by GEICO. The company appealed, but the three-judge panel upheld the decision.

Adventures in Real Estate Danielle Cruz and her husband purchased and renovated a home in Chicago, but after listing it for sale, they found out someone was already living there. ABC7-TV reported that a contractor showed up to make a repair to the presumably vacant house and reported to Cruz that someone was inside the home. He also told her all the

locks had been changed. “We honestly thought he was joking because we knew the house was vacant,” Cruz said. “So we show up with the cops, and there’s a young woman in there with all of her belongings.” The woman said she had signed a month-to-month lease with a “landlord,” and because she produced a lease, the police couldn’t ask her to vacate. Real estate attorney Mo Dadkhah said the case would probably be referred to the Cook County eviction courts—but they’re very backed up. “The process could take six, 12, 18 months,” he said. Cruz’s other option is “cash for key”—offering the renter money to leave. But so far, Cruz can’t get her to respond.

Particular Pinchers • New York City police are on the hunt for a serial shoe thief, NBC New York reported on June 3. On three different occasions, in January, February and, most recently, on May 24, a man has removed a shoe from a woman in Brooklyn or Queens. Twice it was a left shoe; one time it was the right. The incidents happen during the day in public areas. • The investigation is ongoing in Trout Run, Pennsylvania, to find the hungry thief who on May 20 broke into the apartment of Tyler Whyte, 26, but stole only one item: a 5-pound bag of Mrs. T’s pierogies, The Smoking Gun reported. The burglar caused minor damage to drywall in the kitchen, but left all of Whyte’s other belongings untouched. The pierogies were valued at $10.

That Rule Doesn’t Apply to Me After an unnamed 25-year-old woman from Gove City, Ohio, approached a bison on May 30 at Black Sand Basin in Yellowstone National Park, the National Park Service wasted no sympathy in its news release about the resulting incident: “Consequently, the bison gored the woman and tossed her 10 feet into the air.” People.com reported that she was transported to a nearby medical center with a puncture wound and other injuries. “Wildlife in Yellowstone National Park are wild and can be dangerous when approached,” the p NPS reminded visitors.
