A Sweet July Awaits

I

ce cream is one of the world’s oldest desserts. We humans have been enjoying frozen concoctions since ancient times. Depending on where you get your information, ice cream’s origins reach back as far as the second century B.C. (I’m leaning on info from the International Dairy Foods Association, here).

“Alexander the Great enjoyed snow and ice flavored with honey and nectar.

Biblical references also show that King Solomon was fond of iced drinks during harvesting. During the Roman Empire, Nero Claudius Caesar frequently sent runners into the mountains for snow, which was then flavored with fruits and juices.” Thus beginning the snowball vs. sno-cone debate that continues to haunt us all.

But ice cream, historians say, evolved sometime in the 16th century and by the 17th century “cream ice” and other frozen desserts were showing up at the table of royals. Common folk couldn’t afford things like milk, cream and eggs.

But by the 18th century, ice cream was all the rage in Europe and wealthy American colonists.

Thomas Jefferson is credited with the first known ice cream recipe recorded by

an American and he helped popularize it in this country when he served it at the President’s House (now known as the White House). Historians think his recipe originated with his French butler.

Our modern love affair with cold treats naturally ramps up in the heat of summer. A July scroll of social media sites will reward you with ice cream beauty shots—those now ubiquitous photos of a cone or a cup held up to the sun to show off its creamy goodness or mounds of sprinkles or over-the-top garnishes.

We sent writer Susan Nolan out to explore Maryland’s Best Ice Cream Trail this week, with some help from CBM intern Noah Hale. They report back what the top flavors are at these creameries as well as how to maybe burn off some of that sugar once you’re done with your cone. It’s a tasty way to see the state.

While we have no shortage of ice cream stores in the region, creameries are a bit of a drive to get to. You could always make your own. I remember fondly my parents loading up a handcranked ice cream maker when I was a kid. Eventually they upgraded to one with an electric motor. The idea was the same. A metal canister contain-

ing the ingredients is buried in a slurry of ice and rock salt (or ice cream salt) inside a larger container. Then the paddle is inserted and the cranking begins. As a kid, this seemed to take FOREVER. My mom reports that we usually made vanilla, but on occasion we had peach ice cream—that I would then pick all the pieces of fruit out of. Don’t judge, I was a very picky eater back then.

As my mom points out, Blue Bell wasn’t around back then, so you worked with what you had. (Maryland, why oh why don’t you carry Blue Bell??)

What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?

I’d love to know if anyone has tried some truly outrageous flavors. These days, I’m a cookies and cream kind of gal myself, but do love a good chocolate or cookie dough waffle cone here and there.

The Bands Played On (Sort Of) Since 1999, the Potomac Jazz & Seafood Festival has welcomed local and international jazz musicians and performers to St. Mary’s County. Festival organizers laid ambitious plans for 2022 including three days of events. A key event on Friday was a free concert by the Eric Byrd Trio in Leonardtown Square followed by a soiree at the Rex featuring the 4 The Road band.

Saturday’s concerts were to be held outdoors at the St. Clement’s Island Museum overlooking a gorgeous expanse of the Potomac River and St. Clement’s Island—but they never happened. The event was thwarted by record rainfall and road closures according to Mike Koppel of the 7th District Optimist Club.

But the sun was shining in Leonardtown on Sunday for jazz brunches in the Square, jazz cruises at the Wharf and at an event in the nearby Port of Leonardtown Winery.

“While it did rain and some events had to be postponed, we are proud to be a part of a town that rallied and had jazz performances in our various Leonardtown venues,” said Tory James of Antoinette’s Garden. “We give a huge shout-out to our local Arts and Entertainment District for always finding ways to incorporate the arts into Leonardtown.”

The Potomac Jazz & Seafood Festival is presented by the Friends of the St. Clement’s Island and Piney Point Museums. It is the signature event of the group and raises funds to 2 • CBM BAY WEEKLY • July 14 - July 21, 2022

Rain or shine, a trip to St. Clement’s Island Museum is well worth the drive any time of year. Colonists arrived at this site in 1634 on the Arc and the Dove, following a treacherous Atlantic crossing, braving storms and pirates. The location was as entertaining as the festival. We’re already planning to return next year.

The Coast Guard said cleanup is complete with nearly all the diesel removed.

Park on Spa Creek.

When they arrived MDE deployed 600 feet of sorbent sweep to contain the spill. The Annapolis Fire Department

also responded. The Coast Guard accessed the Oil Pollution Liability Trust Fund and a contractor came in around midnight Monday morning for recovery and cleanup operations. Once the spill was contained with booms, it was vacuumed into an awaiting environmental services truck.

MDE was onsite Monday morning with the Coast Guard and the contractor. At that time, no source of the spill had been identified. The booms were still in place. The smell of diesel fuel remained very strong and the Annapolis Fire Department advised boaters and swimmers to continue to avoid the area.

As of Tuesday, the Coast Guard said cleanup is complete with nearly all the diesel removed. “There is a small residual amount that should dissipate over the next day or so,” says Petty Officer First Class Cynthia Oldham, a USCG external affairs specialist. “To help alleviate the odor, which is not an environmental concern but may be a nuisance for people nearby, a crew is doing a low pressure f lush away from the cove into more open water to help the residual product naturally degrade and break down more quickly.”

The Coast Guard says a sample of the spilled material has been collected to later investigate a potential source.

Bay Bulletin will continue to update this ongoing operation as we learn more information.

One fact becoming almost routine in the shipping industry is the larger the ship, the lower the cost to transport products. Evergreen Marine Corporation owns the largest ships, all of which begin with the name “Ever.” Launched in June of this year, Ever Alot is the biggest of all, measing 1,309 feet from bow to stern. While the putting morecargo-on-one-ship approach is economical, there are problems when navigating passages that aren’t updated for these larger lengths. Last year, Evergreen’s Ever Given got stuck in the Panama Canal for six days, blocking more than 400 ships from traversing the key waterway connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. And last March, Ever Forward with a required 46-foot depth had problems when a wrong turn was taken leaving Seagirt, ending up in just 24 feet of water. After dredging and then removing 500 of the 5,000 containers aboard, the ship was able to, well, move forward. U.S. Coast Guard Baltimore says that incident is still under investigation.

Maritime Historian and Campbell University Professor of History Dr. Salvatore Mercogliano says groundings have always occurred but are more fre-

quent with larger ships. “There have not been any substantial improvements in ports or shipping channels and many of the same issues still exist. We saw a near similar situation happen last month in Savannah when Maersk Surabaya became grounded by her stern in the channel, but was able to be pulled free by a f leet of tugboats.” Citing the need for more powerful tugboats to handle larger ships he adds, “it’s an overlooked portion of our nation’s maritime infrastructure.”

Locally, there’s some positive movement on land and water.

Seeing the move to ever larger ships, the Port of Baltimore has added four supersized cranes to handle the increased capacity of container ships. Channels to Seagirt have been deepened to accommodate the increased draft of what are now called “supersized cargo ships.”

Baltimore ranks first among U.S. ports for the volume of autos, light trucks, farm and construction machinery that are delivered from container ships. Improved connection with rail services has also been a part of the port’s $166 million infrastructure plan.

It’s good news for Ever Forward and everyone else.

DIESEL SPILL IN ANNAPOLIS’S SPA CREEK

BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

A

large diesel fuel spill prompted multiple agencies to respond to an Annapolis waterfront park on Monday.

The Maryland Department of the En-

vironment (MDE) says about 200 gallons of “red dyed no. 2 fuel oil ” spilled into the water Sunday evening, June 10, around 5 p.m. at Acton Cove Waterfront

EVER FORWARD MAKES (UNEVENTFUL) RETURN TO PORT OF BALTIMORE

BY PAT PIPER

I

t was a better visit to Baltimore for the 1,095-foot container ship Ever Forward last week than it was the last time it came to town. After leaving the Port of Baltimore on March 13, the ship ran aground north of the Bay Bridge where it sat until April 17 before being ref loated. Bay Bulletin closely tracked

the month-long operation to dislodge the ship from the Bay’s silty bottom.

This time, Ever Forward arrived and departed Seagirt Terminal without incident.

The ship had traveled from Hong Kong on June 5, making a stop in Panama before arriving in Baltimore on July 7. After unloading and loading cargo, it departed on July 10 (and was in Savannah, Ga., as of Tuesday) and will cross the Panama Canal on August 6 with a return to Hong Kong a week before Labor Day. If you missed seeing it this time, the huge ship makes a return in October. The name Ever Forward is appropriate.

‘NO FISH DRY JULY’ AIMS TO CURB ANGLER FISH PICS

BY JOHN PAGE WILLIAMS

I

t seems innocent enough: an angler catches a fish, poses for a photo proudly holding up their prize, and carefully releases the fish to swim away.

But in hot July water temperatures, even posing for a photo can be enough to kill or weaken a fish.

Keep Fish Wet, a conservation organization that promotes proper fish handling and the science behind it, has announced the second annual No Fish Dry July, “an initiative to help anglers create better outcomes for each fish they release.” For the month of July, Keep Fish Wet and Ten And Two Co, an artistic outdoor clothing and apparel brand, challenge anglers to make a month-long commitment not to take a single photo of a fish.

All month long, Keep Fish Wet will share inspiration for fish-less photography and the science behind what happens to fish as water temperatures rise.

The organization concentrates on western trout and tropical saltwater f lats fishing, but the science behind their studies very much applies to the Chesapeake.

Rockfish especially are beyond their known comfort zone here in summer, but extra-warm water also stresses speckled trout and other Bay species.

Editor’s note: The Maryland Department of Natural Resources will close the recreational and charter rockfish fishery from July 16-31.

Even if a fish swims away after being brought aboard for a photograph and released, the accumulated physiological stress of fighting the angler’s line and rod, the abrupt temperature change from water to air, and the physical stress of being handled can cause serious problems. The stress can kill it later or weaken its resistance to a waterborne disease like mycobacteriosis.

“The way we handle Chesapeake fish during the hottest time of year is even

more crucial to their well-being than it is in the cooler water temperatures of spring and fall,” said David Sikorski, Executive Director of the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) Maryland.

“At a time when our rockfish population continues to waver, avoiding handling practices that cause undue harm to fish is a great way that Chesapeake anglers—in both Maryland and Virginia—can ‘tread lightly’ on our fish stocks and simply leave them in the water. Anglers should also take some time to brush up on what techniques are best throughout the year, and consider focusing on other fish stock when hot temperatures arrive,” says Sikorski.

Instead of publishing “Grip and Grin” photos this month, No Fish Dry July encourages anglers to post other artful shots of their summer angling experiences. For more information, visit keepfishwet.org.

Sikorski says there are plenty of resources for anglers to learn more about good release techniques for fish species.

“Visit ReleaSense, a joint program of CCA, Shimano, Texas A&M, as well as sites like Fish Smart, Save a Million Bass and Keep Fish Wet. You can also check out this series of Fish Reflex Tests to tell if a released fish is going to survive, which can help you better understand your potential impacts depending how you choose to fish. You can even tune in to a What’s on the Line Podcast on good Chesapeake release techniques with Shawn Kimbro and me.”

FORMER NAVY FOOTBALL PLAYER PENS TRIBUTE TO BAY DALE DRIVE

BY CHERYL COSTELLO

A

Memphis recording artist has penned a song featuring some familiar geography along the Annapolis waterfront.

Former Navy football player Chris Nurthen wrote “Bay Dale” about a special neighborhood that became a haven for him to get away from the rigors of Naval Academy life.

We talked with Nurthen about the local memories that inspired the song.

Bay Dale, won’t you let me in, Nurthen sings as his music video plays images of the Bay Dale Drive exit sign on Route 50, recognizable to anyone who has ever sat in Bay Bridge traffic.

When Nurthen returned each semester to the U.S. Naval Academy, he stayed with his aunt and uncle in the Bay Dale community. They served as his sponsor family, and their home off Bay Dale Drive was where he felt at home.

The 2015 USNA graduate, who was a defensive lineman on the football team, sings, There’s one thing I look forward to before I head back to school, it brings me back into my bones.

“It was like my sanctuary before going back to the academy,” Nurthen says. “It was a major cornerstone of really good family quality time we had growing up.”

Nurthen often had his guitar out

while spending time with family in Bay Dale. He started playing in high school and continued to write songs during the five years he was deployed on Navy warships.

He says the song gets right to the heart of what midshipmen feel: Back to the uniforms, wakeup calls…

“We kind of grew up fast at the academy. And it wasn’t like your typical college experience, so we were going back to work…No regrets at all about being there. It’s just hard.”

Nurthen came up with his recently released song while sitting around his aunt and uncle’s living room just after his aunt passed away.

“We had come back for her funeral a week or two later and I wrote that song with our family gathered around. At the end [of the music video] we have footage

of us being in the kitchen that day, singing the song as a family.”

Now living in Memphis, Nurthen is focusing on his music and runs a mobile catering company with his wife Keri called SweetNur’s—a play on his last name. To get his music in to the community, he performs house shows at gatherings where they cater meals.

“What I hope is, even if we can’t become a national act, I hope there’s enough proof that I can write a good song and can be in the room with people who want to write with me,” Nurthen says of his musical ambitions.

The songwriter is still active duty in the Navy Reserve.

ost boaters know that discharging raw sewage from a boat is illegal in Bay waterways. But now, boaters in more than a dozen Anne Arundel County waterways are also barred from releasing treated sewage as well.

A federally approved No Discharge Zone (NDZ) officially went into effect

July 1 for 13 bodies of water, including Annapolis Harbor. The Severn River Association, Anne Arundel County, and the City of Annapolis joined together to call for a No Discharge Zone. The Maryland departments of Natural Resources and the Environment applied to the feds for this protection back in May 2020.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reviewed the request and sought public comment, and the NDZ is now final. The reasoning for this protection was the high concentration of boats and popularity of water-contact activities in the area.

Songs of Ireland Fill Chesapeake Country

BY MATTHEW LIPTAK

C

hesapeake Country loves all things Irish. This weekend a beloved summer festival returns to Anne Arundel County for the first time since 2018.

And a local jewelry store is supporting a group of young musicians who aim to bring championship bragging rights back from Ireland next month.

The Annapolis Irish Festival returns to the Anne Arundel County Fairgrounds in Crownsville Saturday. The festivities are scheduled to include bands, beer, axe throwing, Irish wolfhounds, contests and even cricket lessons.

“We have a guy coming in who was a national cricket player,” said Jenn Williams, director of operations for ABC Events, the Annapolis firm who puts on the festival. “Not only is he going to be giving demonstrations, but he’s going to be teaching people how to play the game right there on site.”

Keeping sewage out of the water can reduce pollution-fueling nutrients. On the Eastern Shore, the Chester River is already designated as a No Discharge Zone.

“The NDZ designation will help the city and county close a gap in their efforts to attain their Chesapeake Bay pollution reduction goals, which focus on the reduction of nitrogen and phosphorus,” said Annapolis Deputy City Manager for Resilience and Sustainability Jacqueline Guild.

Before now, it was legal to discharge waste that is treated by certified onboard Type I or II marine sanitation devices.

But the City of Annapolis says that’s not enough to keep the water clean.

“Current on-board treatment systems do not reduce these nutrients that stimulate plant and algae growth, which in turn, leads to less oxygen in the water for aquatic life. The NDZ will also raise awareness among the general public that all vessels must use a pump-out station or pump-out boat to dispose of waste.”

From now on, boats will have to store sewage in their holding tanks (90 percent of recreational boats have them installed, according to DNR) and have them emptied at one of Maryland’s 350plus pumpout stations. As part of the NDZ approval process, EPA verified that there are adequate pumpout stations near each of the affected bodies of water.

“The No Discharge Zone is an important protection for some of our most important waterways,” Maryland DNR Secretary Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio said. “This is another great example of how Maryland is enhancing recreation while also protecting our natural resources, so we are pleased that this important policy is moving forward.”

The complete list of waters in the NDZ is available online.

If you need to report a non-working pumpout station, email pumpouts.dnr@ maryland.gov or call 410-260-8772. If you see an NDZ violation take place, call MDE at 410-537-3510 (weekdays) or 866-MDE-GOTO (evenings and weekends). greater Annapolis area has been looking forward to this Saturday’s event. “Feedback has been great,” she said. ”We started with a promotion during the Annapolis St. Patrick’s Day parade in March.”

That float carried members of the Irish music band Hold Fast of Pennsylvania, who will be performing at the festival.

Many other bands playing Irish tunes are on the lineup, which reaches its climax at 8 p.m., when the popular Celtic group Gaelic Storm takes the stage.

“Everybody is super excited,” says Williams. “It’s going to be a fantastic day.”

When it comes to traditional Celtic music, Annapolis shows its support all year long.

Zachary’s Jewelers on Main Street recently threw its support behind a trio of young singers that have been performing in front of the store. The three young girls have been busking outside the store to raise funds to attend a world championship competition in Mullingar, Ireland, in August.

To that, I am deeply thankful for the efforts of Ann’s Circle and the Calvert Garden Club.”

Strange Paradise is on exhibit in the Daugherty Gallery until Sept. 22, curated by juror Anne Hyland. “The artists exemplify this exciting exploration of the mind and creation found in classic surrealist works but breathe new life into the movement in their work,” writes Hyland.

creative ideas that are expressed with flowers,” says Andrea Kroll, the Calvert Garden Club corresponding secretary.

“Art affects each of us differently and I love to see all the different ideas and how the art spoke to the floral arranger.”

Kroll was one of this year’s f loral arrangers—her third time participating in Art Blooms. “My arrangement was for the painting entitled ‘Desire like a Storm’ and I thought about it quite a bit. I read the artist notes about love and seduction. I thought about how to design it, thinking whether it should be tall or f lat,” Kroll said.

Inspired by colorful hydrangeas in her yard, Kroll ultimately landed on the idea of creating a f loral gift box for her arrangement. Calvert Garden Club offers monthly floral workshops that have helped Kroll and many others to hone their skills. In addition to Art Blooms, the club also creates monthly arrangements for Calvert Nursing Home and partners annually with Calvert Library for its Books in Bloom series of literature-themed f loral displays.

Summer Santa Spreads Magic in Cape St. Claire

agic is alive and well, especially in the tightknit waterfront community of Cape St. Claire. For several months, tiny 3D printed toys in a variety of colors and themes have been appearing throughout the neighborhood. Children and adults alike have been delighted to find these treasures at various places in the neighborhood including the beaches, parks, the shopping center, the library, and even on doorsteps or in mailboxes.

The anonymous creator of these delightful designs has become a community treasure themselves. Cape residents have bestowed several monikers upon the secret gifter, including Summer Santa, Printer Claus, and the 3D Fairy.

In an anonymous interview, the creator behind the merrymaking said out

“I wanted to learn something new and I really enjoy being a maker,” said Summer Santa.

Right around Easter, Summer Santa came across a set of egg-shaped cats with various expressions while browsing online. Summer Santa decided to print 55 Easter cats to hide around the neighborhood for kids to find.

The joyous response to the little gifts was immediate. The neighborhood Facebook page was soon full of photos of smiling faces and endless gratitude for this random act of kindness.

“It was very easy to see that they really connected with the love that I was trying to express and share, so I decided that it might be kind of cool to continue hiding some toys and trinkets around the neighborhood from time to time, just as a way to spread some love and joy around,” says the anonymous creator.

than just an outlet for creative expression, it is about connecting with their community in a deep and meaningful way.

“I do read the comments on Facebook and there have been a few personal notes shared with me. What I’ve read tells me that it’s been a challenging couple of years for many people, especially families with small children,” they said.

“It’s very clear to me that people are connecting with this on a very deep level…people seem to be receiving and feeling the love and blessings that are infused in every piece I make.”

Resident Bridget Marie Dent says, “The day my girls (Kyla, age 6, and Lainey, age 4) found the items from the printer fairy had been horrible leading up to that point. My daughter was so upset and crying when she got off the bus, she was just having a horrible day.

We sat at the bus stop until everyone else had left and all of a sudden noticed a Ditto (Pokemon character) sitting on a log, right at the bus stop. Kyla’s tears immediately stopped and a little smile crept across her face. Then, when we were almost back to our house, we

found a lobster. At that point, Kyla’s day was completely turned around.”

Debra M., also a Cape St. Claire resident, says that her children’s spirits were rather low as the school year dragged on. Madison, 11, and Hayden, 8, set out to find the hidden treasures in their neighborhood after being alerted to their presence by their father. “They have proceeded to build cardboard box homes for their creatures, complete with wallpaper, beds, etc., and it has brought so much joy to my house,” says Debra.

“My kids—Grayson, age 6, and Elliana, age 3—were over the moon thrilled when they got their starfish. It made me tear up. I was so overwhelmed with joy and kindness,” said Amber O’Baker. “My kids have taken their starfish EVERYWHERE! Even in the bath tub and pool.”

Jennifer Martin and her daughter Ariana found an intricately detailed octopus.

“I was just as excited as my daughter to find the printer fairy had left a gift on our mailbox… I don’t know who you are, but you hit it out of the park.”

Morgan Bracken Van Arsdall says what she loves most about all of this is that the creator behind the creatures is inspiring a love of STEM in little girls like hers. “They are showing them that 3D printing isn’t just boring orange widgets, but fun, colorful animals! My 10-year-old girl decided she wanted to try to make her own 3D crab after finding one near the beach. That kind of genuine inspiration is so rare!”

The Broadneck Community Library is home to a starfish that was left at their book drop. It now sits at the information desk. When curious library-goers ask about its origin, staff tell the delightful tale of the anonymous gifter in Cape St. Claire who leaves these little surprises.

“It’s easy to forget just how connected we all are. Our community of Cape St. Claire is quite family oriented, and to me, living here feels like being a part of a big family,” says Summer Santa.

“Each piece is infused with love and blessings for whoever finds it. I really hope that’s the main takeaway. You are loved, you are blessed, you have worth and you are enough. Let that love ripple through you and out from you into the world and it will just keep going and f lowing on forever. Pay it forward. Make a difference in someone’s life. That’s what this is about.” •

m a e r C Ice l i a r T

By Susan Nolan

Rocky Point Creamery

W

E’VE ALL CHANTED “I scream. You scream. We all scream for ice cream,” especially on a hot summer day.

Perhaps Ronald Reagan heard us screaming for America’s favorite frozen treat back in 1984 when he issued a Presidential Proclamation declaring July as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of July National Ice Cream Day. The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) has kept up the momentum by hosting an annual ice cream party on Capitol Hill every July. According to the IDFA, the average American eats about 20 pounds of ice cream a year and ice cream companies contribute over $13 billion to our national economy annually.

Here in Maryland, we have a long history of making, selling and eating ice cream. Quakers first brought ice cream to the region in the colonial era.

By 1744, it was being served in the Annapolis home of Governor Thomas Bladen. In 1851, Baltimore milkman Jacob Fussell became the first to mass-produce ice cream for retail sales.

Today, the state Department of Agriculture coordinates and promotes Maryland’s Best Ice Cream Trail, a collection of 10 cow-to-cone creameries

Kilby Cream

across the state.

“The purpose of the trail is to create awareness for Maryland’s dairy farmers and promote interaction between the farmers and the public,” says Audrey Broomfield, Agricultural Marketing Specialist for the Maryland Department of Agriculture. To qualify for the program, these creameries must make their ice cream from milk produced by the cows on-site.

Broomfield recently toured the entire ice cream trail with her son, 11-monthold Alex. “It’s impossible to visit all 10 sites in one day, but from the Annapolis area, you can do it in three,” she says.

Five of the creameries are in central and western Maryland, four north of Baltimore, and one on the Eastern Shore. Even divided into a series of road trips, the 290-plus mile trek can seem daunting.

“The secret is to take advantage of all the activities at each stop. Most have an area for kids to play and opportunities to visit the farm animals,” says Broomfield.

Lisa VanBuskirk of Edgewater agrees that activity is the key to doing the ice cream trail with young children.

“Feeding the calves at South Mountain

Creamery is a memorable experience,” says the California-native.

For three years in a row, VanBuskirk used the Ice Cream Trail as a means of becoming more familiar with Maryland, but never visited every creamery on the list in just one summer. “I was a stay-at-home mom and my kids were little. I combined the ice cream trail with DNR’s Park Quest program.

We’d visit a state park and afterwards get ice cream from an Ice Cream Trail creamery. It was a great way to see other parts of Maryland and learn more about the history and culture.”

Just as you will want a variety of activities, Broomfield also recommends trying a variety of f lavors. While all the sites offer the traditional favorites, a trip to a creamery can be enhanced by trying f lavors not available elsewhere. “The sunf lower honey ice cream at Broom’s Bloom Dairy was a real stand-out for me,” she says.

If you are concerned that too much dairy will upset your stomach and ruin your road trip, opt for a kiddie-size portion. You may even consider asking for a spoon-sized sample. When you find a f lavor you like, no need to eat an entire scoop on the spot. You can buy a container—most sites carry a variety

of sizes—to take home.

In addition to ice cream, every stop on the trail sells cheese, butter, milk, and meats—all locally sourced. Some carry honey, jams, and baked goods.

“After the first year, I knew to bring a small cooler,” says VanBuskirk. “Something big enough for a gallon of milk or maybe some cream.”

While the creameries on the trail are open year-round, visiting during the warmer months has its perks. If you visit all 10 creameries between May 28 and September 30, you could be named a Maryland’s Best Ice Cream Trailblazer.

“It’s easy,” Broomfield explains, “Just take a selfie at each stop on the trail.”

Then send the pictures and your contact info to icecream.trail1@maryland. gov. Each photo should identify the creamery where it was taken. Signs in the background may be the best indicator. All submissions will be entered into a drawing. The winner will receive a $50 gift certificate from the creamery of their choice, a copy of the children’s book Tales of the Dairy Grandmother: Chuck’s Ice Cream Wish, a trophy and bragging rights.

Maryland’s Best Ice Cream Trail Keyes Creamery

Broom’s Bloom Dairy Broom’s Bloom Dairy is truly a foodie’s paradise. In addition to ice cream sold by the scoop and by the container, they offer a full-service café for a relaxing mid-day meal and a small grocery store well-stocked with artisan cheeses, farm fresh eggs, dairy products, bread, and meats. Kate Dallam, owner, is excited to be a part of the ice cream trail again this year. “Maryland has a wine trail and a beer trail, but the ice cream trail is for the entire family,” she says. “And our lemon ice cream is especially refreshing.”

1700 S. Fountain Green Rd., Bel Air, MD 21015, Bbdairy.com, 410-399-COWS (2697)

Deliteful Dairy is new to the Best Ice Cream Trail this year, but they aren’t new to dairy farming. In fact, the Long family has been farming in Williamsport for seven generations.

“If it’s ice cream, it has to be fun,” says employee Alicia Snow with a laugh.

“We make soft-serve ice cream that we use in our parfaits. We call our halfsize, ‘calf-size.’” Like many other sites on the trail, Deliteful Dairy sells a variety of dairy and meat products. They also host concerts. Visit their Facebook page for some of their upcoming events.

Chesapeake Bay Farms is the only dairy farm in Worchester County.

“We make our own butter, ice cream and cheese,” says owner Danny Holland, “and if you are at the beach, why wouldn’t you stop in to see us?”

In addition to their own products, Chesapeake Bay Farms has partnered with other local farmers and fishermen.

They sell crab cakes and rockfish in addition to locally sourced honey, meats, and baked goods. Looking for an ice-cold pick-me-up? Try a scoop of their Beans & Cream, dark chocolate-covered Kona coffee beans and chocolatey espresso chips blended with rich espresso ice cream. Holland credits his wife Laura with inventing this delicious flavor.

Located off the main road, Keyes Creamery is easy to miss, but their Graham Cracker ice cream makes the U-turn worth it. “We only have it in the summer,” explains assistant manager Autumn Hannas. “The Buttery Salted Caramel is a year-round favorite,” she adds.

Employee Amber Watson suggests checking out their Facebook and Instagram pages for updates on f lavors as they change regularly.

And don’t mind the construction! The shop is small, but they are adding an outdoor pavilion for additional seating.

“My favorite is also one of our best sellers,” explains Kilby Cream employee Konnor Halsey, “It’s called Cookie Monster: Blue vanilla ice cream with sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, and Oreos.” It’s hard to imagine a kid who wouldn’t love it—and perhaps that’s why you can buy it by the scoop, container or birthday cake. Maryland Madness, inspired by the state flag, is another top-selling flavor you won’t find elsewhere—lemon ice cream with raspKilby Cream

berry swirl and white chocolate chips.

The playground is inviting, and they have farm animals—a donkey, a pig, some goats and a rabbit named Oreo.

129 Strohmaier Lane, Rising Sun, MD 21911, kilbycream.com, 410-658-887

“Ask to mix the f lavors,” Broomfield suggests. “At Misty Meadows Farm Creamery, I combined Granny’s Crumb with White Chocolate Raspberry and it tasted like cheesecake.”

Along with great ice cream f lavors, Misty Meadows is known for its seasonal events and barnyard animals.

14325 Misty Meadow Rd., Smithsburg, MD 21783 , mistymeadowsfarmcreamery.com , 301-824-2112

The Prigels have been raising dairy cows on Bellevale Farm since 1895. In 2008, they received their organic certification and have continued the tradition of community commitment, the humane treatment of their animals, and stewardship of their land. The Prigel Family Creamery sells their

Flavors change weekly and are always listed on their Facebook page. Peanut Butter Oreo is the hot f lavor this week.

Next week? That’s anyone’s guess, but you know it will be good.

ice cream and The Market sells freshly made sandwiches and snacks.

According to employee Ben Ellis, the daily cow feedings are one of their most popular events and Banana Pudding is one of their more unusual f lavors. “But they are all really good,” he says. “The Key Lime Pie, the Mint Chocolate Chip, the Peach—they are all delicious.”

Bring your lawn chair and enjoy live music every Friday night throughout the summer.

Sunf lowers and summer go handin-hand. Every year, Rocky Point Creamery plants two acres of sunf lowers and sells them with the proceeds going to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. Annually, they raise about $4,000 for the charity. Sunf lowers, like all agricultural products, rely on weather and their peak can be difficult to predict. If you want to clip your own bouquet for only $1 per stem or have your picture taken in front of the field of f lowers, check out their Facebook page for updates on the sunflower blooms. Then, head inside the bright red building for a scoop of ice cream.

“Happy cows make great milk and great milk makes great ice cream,” says Lauren Harshman, marketing & destination manager of South Mountain Creamery. As to how happy the South Mountain cows are, she encourages you to see for yourself (and read Noah Hale’s story on PAGE 12). The 3,300 acre farm has over 500 dairy cows and is open for tours. “Calf feeding is one of our most popular activities, and it’s something families can do together,” Harshman says. She recommends booking your calf feeding online.

As for their ice cream f lavors, they take their inspiration from the area’s rich history and local lure. Try the Monocacy Mud, German chocolate ice cream with caramel swirls and pecans or Snallygaster named for the mythical monster of Frederick County—peanut butter ice cream blended with a caramel swirl, peanut butter cups and pretzels.

South Mountain Creamery is growing as an event venue, too. Goat yoga, trivia contests, and paint parties are just some of the programs scheduled for this summer.

bourne Creamery at Rock Hill Orchard, “but we are also known for our Ginger ice cream.” Made with organic Hawaiian ginger grown on-site, Fendrick admits it took some work to get the recipe just right. “The first time we made this ice cream we used too much ginger and it numbed your mouth, but we think we now have the perfect blend.”

Because the creamery is located at an orchard, you can pick your own peaches or cut yourself a bouquet of f lowers.

Visit the cows, too. “Our younger calves love visitors but be prepared to have your fingers sucked on. They also seem to like to chew on orange-colored shirts for some reason,” says Fendrick.

The Woodbourne Creamery is sensitive to food allergies; the facility offers two f lavors of sorbet as dairy-free and egg-free options.

A Visit to South Mountain Creamery N

By Noah Hale

OW THAT Maryland’s Best Ice Cream Trail has sugar-coated the highways with promises of frozen delights, I thought I’d drive my taste buds across the state to one of these sweet spots and learn a thing or two about what goes on at a creamery.

South Mountain Creamery in Middletown is a beautiful slice of the countryside. Founded over 40 years ago by Randy and Karen Sowers, the dairy farm is situated in a scenic valley. On my way there, I could see some of the dairy cows grazing the hills that I’d later see being herded into their barns.

I met with my tour guides, Morgan Medlin and Lauren Harshman, who showed me around the entire farm. Our first stop was at the milking parlor.

Daily at 1:30 p.m., visitors can see the cows line up to be milked. First, their udders are sprayed with iodine for sterilization and then are attached to vacuum milkers that will do the milking much faster than a pair of hands can.

“They’re on a schedule,” said Morgan. “They know it’s milking time.” But they also look forward to milking time.

The two primary types of cows, Holsteins and Jerseys, produce about 60 and 30 pounds of milk a day respectively— that means that each cow is losing 30 or 15 pounds during each milking. They’re eager to lose that extra weight.

Next, we walked over to a big metal reservoir—the milk tank—where the milk is brought after pumping.

Once there, it goes through a cooling plate that cools it down to 55 degrees before returning to the milk tank, where it will cool down to 35 degrees.

“Milk comes out of the cow at 110 degrees, so we have to cool it down super fast so that it doesn’t curdle,” said Lauren. “And then it’s going to rest in this tank until our bottling team comes in the morning.”

12 • CBM BAY WEEKLY • July 14 - July 21, 2022

Afterwards, all that’s left for the milk to do is to be pasteurized and homogenized, all of which is done in a nearby room. From there, the milk is used for icecream mix which is shipped to Chambersburg, Penn., where it gets turned into the final product.

While this was happening in the background, I was brought around the corner to see the two loafing barns where the cows can be lazy and enjoy the bovine comforts of air-conditioned back-scratching stations, rubberized mattresses, and all-you-can-eat hay. “It doesn’t smell the best, but it feels good,” said Lauren. She also told me they get to go out to pasture on the wide-open hillsides every evening.

It was quickly evident to me that the farmers take great care of all the cattle. They have an on-call veterinarian and a specialist who regularly inspects each pair of hooves. They even have a nutritionist who comes up with special diets for the cows depending on their needs.

“We’re doing everything we can to make sure they’re as safe and happy and healthy as possible,” said Morgan.

Our last stop was at the calf barn where about 30 calves were waiting to be fed. This part of the farm is also open to the public and one of the creamery’s main attractions: at 4:00 p.m., visitors can purchase a ticket that’ll let them bottle-feed one of the hungry calves.

I was assigned to one particularly cute Holstein calf that guzzled down every last drop of milk in under two minutes. When the bottle was empty she looked up at me as if to say, “Hey, where’s the rest?”

Like the heifers, the calves live a good life. They’re given warm blankets in the winter, a tarp that can be raised to keep out wind and rain or give them shade in the summer, and a dryer in their barn to dry them off in case they get wet. The farm is designed to be comfortable—for cows and people alike.

“We really like to educate people,” Lauren said. “Karen (Sowers) wanted to be able to have people come out to

After I fed this hungry baby Holstein, I fed myself some Lemon Crunch ice cream. the farm and educate them on farming so they can see where their food comes from and why it’s done that way.”

When my tour was over I stopped at Karen’s Kountry Store to try some ice cream, where I was not disappointed. If you’re an ice cream lover or a calf adorer, make the trip up to South Mountain Creamery. There’s something for the whole family—and where else are you going to get to feed a baby cow? •

Classic Theatre of Maryland’s As You Like It Shakespeare’s Rustic Revelry

O

ne of the more famous lines in Shakespeare’s As You Like It is “All the world’s a stage.” Classic Theatre of Maryland takes the phrase literally by setting the pastoral comedy outside, turning the lovely grounds of the historic Gresham Estate in Edgewater into The Bard’s Forest of Arden.

The setting is especially apt because the forest is not just background but another character in this story of exile, mistaken identity, love and freedom.

This Arden is alive with the sounds of nature, which accompany the 1930s bluegrass music adapted for the production and sung beautifully by CTM’s dozen cast members, accompanied by multi-instrumentalist and music director Nancy Krebs. A tall, rustic windmill looms over the proceedings, helping to place us in Depression-era Appalachia, along with the perfectly realized costumes.

The setting works because Shake-

speare is timeless, and because we’re outdoors where so much of the story takes place. And it works because the cast seems to revel in the location, freed from the confines of the usual brick and mortar theater building, and director Sally Boycott and her technical team have used lighting and sound to highlight rather than to temper the natural setting.

It’s a comedy, yes, but it’s Shakespeare, so sit up in the lawn chair you brought and pay attention. Because while it is funny, and the players wear microphones, several in the cast play more than one role, which is easily followed but you must pay heed.

The talented cast features Josh Lee as Orlando, who flees to the forest after learning of his brother’s plot to kill him, and Shayna Freedman as Rosalind, the banished duke’s daughter who falls in love with Orlando but also flees to the forest after being

It’s a comedy, yes, but it’s Shakespeare, so sit up in the lawn chair you brought and pay attention. exiled from the royal court. For protection she takes on the guise of a man, while her cousin Celia (Maggie Paul) pretends to be an old poor woman. Jeffrey Allen Sneed portrays their companion Touchstone as a ventriloquist, complete with a Charlie McCarthy dummy.

Touchstone (and the dummy) offer a running commentary on the goings-on around him, as does Jaques, Justino

Brokaw’s melancholy nobleman living in the forest with his banished duke.

Brokaw makes the famous “all the world’s a stage” speech sound like you’re hearing it for the first time.

Dexter Hamlett, Austin Rubinoski, Allison Meyer, Ryan Kirby, Kaitlin Harbin, and John Pruessner all play several roles effectively. As the exiled duke, Pruessner invites everyone to partake in a “rustic revelry” as the story wraps up with good news.

Rustic revelry. Shakespeare’s alliteration perfectly describes what you’ll experience if you drop a folding chair in the trunk, head out to Edgewater, and revel in this lovingly crafted outdoor production.

MOVIEGOER

BY DIANA BEECHENER

John Cho and Mia Isaac in Don’t Make Me Go.

Don’t Make Me Go

The real tragedy in this film is the lost potential ON AMAZON PRIME BEGINNING JULY 15

A

fter being diagnosed with a rare brain tumor, Max (John Cho: Cowboy BeeBop) goes into a bit of a tailspin. His odds aren’t good and he has to choose between a year to live and a risky surgery with a 20 percent survival rate.

Complicating matters is his daughter, Wally (Mia Isaac in her feature debut), who is about to turn 16. Max has been her only family since his wife abandoned them. Wally has hit a rebellious phase and Max is terrified what losing another parent will do to her.

So, like all movie fathers faced with bleak news, Max announces a road trip. He and Wally will drive from California to Louisiana to attend his college reunion. It’s a flimsy excuse, and Wally isn’t too thrilled with the idea, but Max has an ulterior motive. He’s hoping to find his long-gone ex-wife at the reunion and reunite her with Wally, so that his daughter has someone to rely upon when he dies.

Can Max’s harebrained scheme work? And just how many road movie cliches can we fit in one movie?

If you sign up for a movie like this,

you’re probably signing up to cry.

Movies like Beaches and The Fault in Our Stars offer a lovely emotional catharsis for viewers. Unfortunately, this is a weepy movie that leaves you feeling hollow and annoyed, but with a runny nose.

Don’t Make Me Go is one of those rare movies that will make you cry, and then make you feel annoyed about it, because it clearly isn’t worth your tears. As a member of the Dead Dad Club, I knew going into this movie that I needed a pack of tissues nearby.

What I didn’t expect was to feel so annoyed by the film that I wanted to recant my tears as wasted on such a hollow exercise.

Director Hannah Marks, who made a name for herself with the subversive After Everything, is spinning her wheels with this impotent film. For a movie about death, the stakes feel incredibly low because the characters are so flat. It’s an odd mixture of low-energy filmmaking with high drama writing.

While Don’t Make Me Go could have been a by-the-numbers road trip film, it decides to add a twist. Narratively

Dying Dad? Check.

Snarky teen? Check.

Driving lessons as metaphor for life?

Check. Insipid twist that’s meant to change everything?

You get the idea. the twist comes directly from Screenwriting 101, where writers learn that an idea out of left field can shake up an otherwise rote movie. But the twist here is so downright silly that it buries any good will it may have earned.

Writer Vera Herbert, who clearly honed her skills writing emotionally manipulative trash while working on This Is Us, takes every easy path she could manage, ticking off cliches like she’s packing for a particularly uninspired trip. Dying Dad? Check. Snarky teen? Check. Driving lessons as metaphor for life? Check. Insipid twist that’s meant to change everything?

You get the idea.

With a script cobbled together from

cliches and undercooked plot elements, it’s really up to the leads to sell a load of nonsense. Luckily for Don’t Make Me Go, John Cho is using every ounce of his considerable charm to make this flick tolerable. And really, it’s Cho’s charisma that makes Max seem like a person. He’s saddled with clunky dialogue and absolutely insane decision making at every turn.

Isaac, who is a lovely screen presence, fares slightly worse with her role. Wally is given nothing to do but act snide, scoff and pout—even when faced with devastating news.

Her reaction to finding out her father is dying is similar to her reaction to finding out her sort-of boyfriend is hanging out with his ex. It’s a baffling characterization that Isaac has to push through.

The true tragedy of this movie is that Isaac and Cho have great chemistry together. When they’re left alone by the writer and director, the duo have some sweet, genuine moments.

But a few smiles exchanged during a car ride are not a full movie, just as one big plot twist can’t save an already wasted effort. If you’re looking for a cathartic cry movie this weekend, I’d suggest streaming Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey—the pets have more complex interiority than any of the people in Don’t Make Me Go.

Crabs in Your Flowers?

A

ccording to Maryland’s Biodiversity Project, of the some 3,000 species of spiders that live in North America, 271 have been found in Maryland. Only two are dangerous to humans, the black widow and the brown recluse.

As I walk through my yard, I look carefully for spiders. I particularly like finding jumping spiders because they

look like they have intelligence and attitude. One in particular seems to recognize me and is curious about my movements without hiding. However, since summer flowers are here, I have spotted a real sneaky spider hiding in their petals: the flower crab spider.

Flower crab spiders are named because of their appearance. Their long front

GARDENING FOR HEALTH

four legs are curved in a forward manner, looking like crab pinchers. They are ambush predators and hide in the inner parts of plants, especially flowers, to grab flies, butterflies and other bugs.

Crab spiders come in multiple colors and seem to try to match the flowers they live on. The spiders can detect the color of the plant or flower it is on and add or subtract pigments to make a better match.

This process takes about three days.

They will also move to the part of the

plant that best matches their coloring. I have seen crab spiders that are reddish, white, yellow and multi-colored.

The crab spider does not use a web to catch or subdue prey but females will leave a silken trail for males to follow.

She will also make a webbed egg case and protect it and later, the newborn spiders.

However, like Charlotte in Charlotte’s Web, the females die soon after the young are born. In late fall, an egg case will be laid in a protected area and the young will not emerge until the following spring or early summer. In Maryland, none of the adult crab spiders survive the winter.

The most common flower crab spider we have in this area is the goldenrod crab spider (Misumena vatia). They are generally yellow or white and frequently have a maroon stripe on both sides of its abdomen. They are found on almost any plant but tend to prefer yellow or white flowers. They evidently have potent venom because their prey does not struggle long after it is grabbed and bitten. The spiders will attack bugs several times its size and weight and anchor itself to the plant as it hangs onto its prey. The spiders are themselves preyed upon by birds, lizards and other spiders. In my yard, I have a family of Carolina wrens that really seem to like the crab spiders.

Be on the lookout for these small devious arachnids. Unless you are spraying your plants with insecticides or spraying the yard for mosquitoes, there may be many of these ambush spiders acting like a crab around your flowers. They are harmless to humans and fun to find. •

Eat Your Greens

I

grow organic vegetables and participate in a few farmers markets. I’m proud of what we grow and enjoy meeting people throughout Anne Arundel County. We grow a lot of leafy greens because of their healthy attributes, but I find that most people gravitate towards corn, tomatoes and cantaloupe. I love all of those, too, but I want people to eat healthier. Eat all those tasty vegetables, but add greens to your weekly diet.

Cancer continues to be the second most common cause of death in the US, after heart disease. As a people, we are plagued with various types of cancer and now it’s so common that we see commercials on TV for various cancer treatment centers.

Shouldn’t we be the healthiest people in the world? It seems to be the exception, not the norm, to not be taking medications past the age of 50.

In the Blue Zones around the world, where people live into their 90s with reduced rates of dementia, heart disease, diabetes and obesity, all exist on plant-based diets. We need to promote good diets with an increase of cruciferous vegetables and reduce the use of chemicals in our food systems.

I have many reasons to eat dark leafy greens. First, they may help you lose excess weight, since they contain fewer calories.

They may help slash the risk of diabetes.

Greens can keep your brain young, build better bones and fend off cancer.

The American Institute of Cancer Research (AICR), recommends the New

American Plate: Fill at least 2/3 of your plate with fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains, and no more than 1/3 of your plate with poultry, fish, lean meat, and dairy foods.

The cruciferous vegetables, which include broccoli, arugula, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collard greens, horseradish, kale, mustard greens, radishes, rutabagas, turnips, and watercresses all stimulate cancer preventing enzymes, according to AICR. They contain phytochemicals, such as carotenoids, indoles and isothiocyanates, which inhibit enzymes that activate carcinogens and stimulate enzymes that deactivate carcinogens. They even turn on genes that suppress tumors.

I believe you just need some good recipes to make these greens enjoyable.

Try fettuccine with kale pesto. Chop eight cups of stemmed kale. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice cubes and cold water.

Plunge the kale into boiling water for three minutes. Transfer the kale to the ice water. Drain and squeeze out water.

Put the kale in a food processor with one cup parmesan, 3/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup pine nuts, four garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Puree. Pour over 1 pound of cooked fettuccine and mix and sprinkle another cup of parmesan on top. • Have a gardening question?

What to Target When Rockfish Season Closes

T

he 2022 striped bass season, including catch and release, is closed throughout the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries for the next two weeks, Saturday, July 16 until Sunday, July 31. This scheduled closure aims to protect our dwindling rockfish stocks from being subjected to the mortality of undersized fish caught and released during the peak of our summer heat.

These kill ratios can reach 90 percent under some conditions and as we know, our surviving striped bass population is currently in a very stressed condition.

This policy will prolong the recovery period of our rockfish stocks since most all striped bass in the Atlantic are born in the Chesapeake.

In the meantime, there are some Bay fish species that can handle a bit more angler attention, namely white perch, spot and catfish. And these guys appear to be all in fair numbers, especially the catfish, although there will never be enough big white perch around (in my opinion). The spot are scattered but of good size when you find them.

The most fun (and most delicious) would be the whites, and the best time to target these guys is a day when sunrise is predicted to occur during the better part of a flood tide along

There are some Bay fish species that can handle a bit more angler attention, namely white perch, spot and catfish. rocky Bay and tributary shorelines.

Target old piers, pilings or pier remnants, bridge abutments, fallen trees or any structures that have had time to acquire barnacles and aquatic growth.

The older and less accessible these structures are, the bigger and more numerous the perch should be. In the early morning hours any areas of shaded shoreline will usually hold perch. The shade, or even better, a general overcast, hides the fish from overhead predators such as osprey and the tasty devils will remain in the shallows longer.

The very best live bait for the biggest white perch and better size spot will be peeler crabs, second best would be a piece of soft crab, a bit past the soft

phase, sometimes called paper shells.

That’s simply because the small pieces you need will be tougher and harder for the perch to filch. Presented on a No. 4 hook or on a small shad dart suspended under a casting bobber, if you don’t immediately get a bite it’s because the perch are not there. Try another location until you find them, as they’re a schooling fish.

The next best offering will be pieces of raw table or bait shrimp, bloodworm, razor clam, garden worms or nightcrawlers. Fish along the shorelines under bobbers in three to 15 feet of water, or on main-stem Bay lumps or shoals or bridge supports in 15 to 40 feet usiing high-low rigs with one to two ounce sinkers.

the shallows will include Beetle Spins, Super Rooster Tails, Capt. Bert’s Perch Pounders, Mepps Spinners and small spoons. Any of these methods, using bait or lures, should result in enough of the pan-sized fish for a couple of good meals.

Recreational crabbers, sadly enough, are also experiencing a dearth of their favorite Bay species, the blue crab. With the lowest numbers in many years and severely reduced harvest limits, the outlook for Maryland’s favorite seafood looks grim indeed. Seafood markets again have to depend on Louisiana and even Texas for their supplies this year.

The Department of Natural Resources had better sharpen their pencils and revisit their management plans for this Bay species. •

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

BY THE EDITORS AT ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION Read Between the Lines “Forever in our hearts until we meet again, cherished memories, known as our son, brother, father, papa, uncle, friend, & cousin.” The message on Steven Paul Owens’ tombstone at the Warren-Powers Cemetery in Polk County, Iowa, reflects the sentiments of the family the 59-year-old left behind when he died in September of 2021, but the message within the message has the community in an uproar, WHO-13 reported.

That’s because if one reads the first letter of each line vertically, the phrase “F-• OFF” can be found. Owens’ daughter said not only was the message intentional, but her dad would have loved it: “It was a term of endearment. If he said that to you, it meant he liked you. If he didn’t like you, he didn’t talk to you.” A statement from the board of trustees that oversees the cemetery says community members are organizing a legal response and “will not stop until the headstone is removed.”

Let Me Off Here A bus driver from Boston learned the hard way that in areas where cannabis is legal, it pays to read every label. As AP News reported, on March 13, police found Jinhuan Chen, a 10-year veteran driver for Go Go Sun Tour with an exemplary record, unconscious at the wheel of a bus pulled over on the side of Interstate 95 in Stratford, Connecticut.

Chen, who, according to his manager, “doesn’t drink, he doesn’t smoke, but he has a sweet tooth and likes candy,” had been transporting 38 passengers and munching on a package of gummy candies when he blacked out. Turns out the gummies were Smokies Edibles Cannabis Infused Fruit Chews, and toxicology reports revealed a high level of THC, the active ingredient in cannabis, in Chen’s bloodstream. “This would never have happened a couple of years ago,” Go Go Sun Tour manager Victor Chen said, “but now there’s marijuana everywhere here.” Jinhuan Chen will face 38 counts of reckless endangerment at his court date in August.

• The Carter County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee has requested the public’s help in finding the owner of a pig at large—and when we say “at large,” we mean large. The animal weighs an estimated 300 pounds, and it has helped itself to homeowners’ plants and destroyed property during its wandering, reported WJHL-TV. “We have nowhere to put a 300-pound pig ... safely,” said Shannon Posada, director of the Elizabethton/Carter County Animal Shelter. “We have no way of transportation for that large of an animal.” Posada said local farmers may be called upon to help if the owner isn’t found.

One Person’s Trash The ‘80s ruled recently in a batch of auctions that may send folks into their attics on the hunt for forgotten treasure. The Houston Chronicle reported that a shrink-wrapped, near-mint condition 1986 Back to the Future VHS tape sold for an astounding $75,000 in a Heritage Auction on June 9, the highest price ever fetched at auction for a sealed and graded VHS cassette. It didn’t hurt that the item came from the personal collection of actor Tom Wilson, who portrayed Biff Tannen in the movie trilogy, and that Wilson added a handwritten note and offered to sign the container for the winner. Wilson also sold sealed and graded VHS copies of Back to the Future II ($16,250), Back to the Future III ($13,750) and a ‘90sera Back to the Future Trilogy boxed set ($10,000). Other highlights of the ‘80s-era VHS auctions included copies of blockbusters Goonies ($50,000), Jaws ($32,500), Ghostbusters ($23,750) and Top Gun ($17,500).

More Gas Prices on the Rise New Zealand’s Ministry for Environment recently proposed a plan to help curb the country’s greenhouse gas emissions, Reuters reported on June 8. The gist: charging farmers for cow burps. The country is home to 5 million people, but twice that many cattle— and 26 million sheep, to boot—and almost half of its greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture. Even so, agricultural gases have so far been exempted from the country’s emissions trading program. Well, your free ride

The proposal includes incentives for farmers to reduce gases through feed additives, and to use on-farm forestry to offset emissions.

They’re Taking Our Robo-jobs!

As much fun as it is to yell “REFILL PRESCRIPTION” at the pharmacy’s robo-receptionist (only for it to claim, “Sorry, I didn’t get that”), the Spanish government wants to put an end to the practice for its citizens: A proposed customer service bill would require companies to connect callers with an actual human upon request. The bill would also seek to force companies to answer calls within three minutes. “Far too many companies create bureaucratic labyrinths to stop you from exercising your right to service,” said Consumption Minister Alberto Garzon. If it passes Spain’s Parliament, the law would apply to all companies over a certain size, as well as all utility providers, regardless of size.

Brothers Frank and Patrik Riklin created a platform next to a gas station, upon which sit a bed and two bedside tables and lamps. There are no walls, ceiling or doors, and cars streak by on the road just feet away, Reuters reported. "In a nutshell, now is not the time to sleep, we have to react," Patrik said. "If we continue in the same direction we are today, there might be more anti-idyllic places than idyllic." The price for the no-sleep night: $337.

Oooohhhkkkayyyyy He's the perfect husband: "Married life with him is wonderful. He doesn't fight with me. He doesn't argue and he just understands me." "He" is Marcelo, a rag doll that was made for Meirivone Rocha Moraes, 37, by her mother after she complained about being single, the Daily Mail reported. And to pile on to the Brazilian woman's joy, just months later, she found herself delivering Marcelo's rag baby! ("It's true, Marcelo got me pregnant. He didn't use a condom.") Not wanting to have a child out of wedlock, Marcelo and Meirivone

were joined in holy matrimony before 250 guests and spent their honeymoon week in Rio de Janeiro, then returned to await the arrival of Marcelinho—an event that was livestreamed on May 21.

She says the birth, attended by a nurse and doctor, was pain-free. "He was here in 35 minutes."

Extra Value Meal When a customer at a Carl's Jr. location in Skiatook, Oklahoma, near Tulsa, sat down on June 20 to eat his burger, he discovered something extra in the bag: a baggie with a "crystalline substance," Inside Edition reported. The manager replaced the man's meal and called police, who field-tested the substance and found it was methamphetamine. Officers arrested Bryce Francis, an employee of the restaurant, who was allegedly dealing drugs from the drive-thru window and told police he had put the packet in the wrong bag.

He was held at the Osage County Jail in lieu of $25,000 bail.

Compelling Explanation When 35-year-old Gloria Harpel was confronted by police in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, on June 16, she was walking down the street wearing no clothing from the waist down, North Penn Now reported. Initially, Harpel told officers that she had thrown her pants down the storm drain, but later she said that snakes had eaten them. When taken into custody at 2:30 p.m., Harpel was making "nonsensical outbursts" and was sweating profusely; she was held at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility, where she presumably was issued a pair of trousers.

Babies on Board There's a baby boom coming to the NICU and Labor and Delivery department of St. Luke's East Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, Fox News reported on June 22—and it's an inside job. Thirteen neonatal nurses are pregnant, and one gave birth on June 3. "About every two weeks, someone else would announce, 'I'm pregnant,'" said Caitlin Hall, the new mother. The due dates are spread out through December. "To be able to experience this all together has been such a relief but also really exciting," said Ellie Kongs, one of the nurses. • Send your weird news items with subject line WEIRD NEWS to WeirdNewsTips@amuniversal.com.
