Baby, It’s Hot Out There

I

t’s not just hot, it’s downright steamy right now in the mid-Atlantic. We are in the middle of our first true heat wave, which is generally defined as more than five days in a row that exceeds our average max temps by nine degrees (F). After seeing record temps in Texas and Europe, it’s now our turn.

(Does anyone even remember those below-average temperatures last month or are they now a fever dream?)

The soaring temps taxed the power grid in Texas, which is still being affected by triple-digit heat and drought conditions.

My colleague, Meg Viviano, is heading to the Midwest this week and reports that the forecast is full of three-digit numbers. Across the pond, France has been in crisis due to the unprecedented heat there, with the press calling it a “brutal heat dome” that is now shifting into Central Europe. Many Europeans don’t have air conditioning, making it a dangerous situation.

While we have had no shortage of rain here in Chesapeake Country, we are still looking at temps in the 90s with a chance

to hit 100 over the next seven days.

Our timing for a Beat the Heat issue couldn’t have been better. We are all looking for ways to cool down and chill out. So we went on a hunt for the most obvious first option: swimming pools.

Unless you are a member of a neighborhood pool or marina, there are slim pickings here in Chesapeake Country. There are just a handful of public pools around and we expect them to be packed over the weekend. Judy Colbert gives us a small roundup of where to go and what to expect if you need a splash zone (page 9). In 2022, you can rent a pool just like you can rent a vacation home. How times have changed.

Growing up in the Deep South, I absolutely hated the heat of summer (and still do). When we weren’t being dropped off at the local Elks Club pool, we were begging to go to a friend’s house because they had a pool. In my eyes, anyone who had an in-ground pool lived at the height of luxury. Those kids didn’t know how good they had it! Those were also the days for laying in a lawn

chair with a sprinkler going round and round, watering kids rather than plants.

Climate scientists say we better get used to this weather pattern, as heat waves will become more common. It may be a good time to think about using solar energy to power our air conditioning? Just take a page out of Jared Littman’s book. Littman owns K&B True Value in Annapolis and just installed a new solar roof. He’s saving dollars and helping the planet keep its cool. Susan Nolan tells you more in her story (page 8).

Migrating north seems to be a smart option in times like this. Until then, I will have all my fans on high and continue on my mission to become besties with a pool owner, or at least a boat owner.

Let me know where you like to chill out?

Eating Locally Inspiration I saw the local food challenge in Bay Weekly (July 7). I am sharing a photo of our dinner last night. I made venison loin from my autumn bow season deer harvest; the coating on the loin is cracked black pepper and minced garlic.

We grew 80 bulbs of garlic this year so it was homegrown garlic. My sauce was a mushroom-onion-wine based sauce, the wine in my sauce came from Crow Vineyards on the Eastern Shore, and their 2019 Cabernet Franc Reserve was an outstanding complement to enjoy with the meal. Steamed yellow beans were locally sourced. The venison was served on a bed of caramelized onions with wild rice and sauteed mushroom side dishes. Garlic bread helped sop up

The latest oyster planting will put a population in an area of the Severn River that hasn’t had oysters for years.

30 MILLION MORE OYSTERS PLANTED IN SEVERN RIVER, BRINGING TOTAL TO 115 MILLION

BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

F

or the fourth year in a row, the Severn River has received an inf lux of millions of baby oysters on its reefs.

This week the Severn River Association and the Oyster Recovery Partnership (ORP) planted 30 million juvenile oysters, grown up from tiny larvae and attached to old oyster shells recycled by ORP and its partners.

Through the Operation Build-a-Reef program, ORP and the Severn River Association (SRA) have planted more than 115 million oysters on sanctuary reefs in the Severn since 2018.

Oyster restoration is an excellent stepping-stone to a healthy Chesapeake Bay because oysters serve not one, but two important purposes. They serve as filters, pulling harmful pollution out of the water. And their reefs provide habitat for other marine species like crabs and rockfish, both of whose populations have struggled recently.

“Restoring oyster populations in the river is a critical component of our restoration strategy, and this planting will install a considerable population of oysters to an area of the river that hasn’t had them for decades,” says Jesse Iliff, executive director of the Severn River Association. “With each planting like this, we come closer to realizing our vision of a thriving Severn River.”

Operation Build-a-Reef relies on community support for funding. Maryland jewelry company Smyth Jewelers sponsors Build-a-Reef efforts Baywide. At the company’s Annapolis, Timonium, and Ellicott City locations, 1,000 oysters will be planted for every engage-

ment ring sold this season.

“The Chesapeake watershed is an integral part of our beloved Maryland’s future, and we are honored to help with this cause,” says Bob Yanega, chief financial officer of Smyth Jewelers. “We hope to help ORP accomplish its mission of oyster restoration in the region again this year.”

Operation Build-a-Reef is just one of the programs contributing to a federal-state oyster recovery plan. In 2014, the Chesapeake Bay Program committed to restore oyster populations in 10 Bay tributaries by 2025—five in Virginia and five in Maryland. ORP is heading up those efforts in Maryland and are partway through that process.

Nearly 10 billion juvenile oysters have been planted on public and sanctuary reefs so far.

PATRIOT POINT CONNECTS INJURED VETERANS TO THE BAY

from the Military Bowl held at the Naval Academy and from a major Annapolis yacht dealer. This month Bay Bulletin joined Hugh Middleton, a retired Navy SEAL, for a tour of Patriot Point’s stunning beaches and shorelines. The views help our nation’s injured military members and their families heal.

“I’m a 100 percent disabled service veteran myself,” says Middleton. “A number of things I’ve seen and done have had their own effect on me. Not just mentally but physically. Two prosthetic shoulders—everything hurts all the time.”

Duck hunting is one of the favorite activities for veterans at the property.

“This is one of our two retaining ponds for the ducks we raise,” Middletown showed Bay Bulletin, where 2,000 ducks were just delivered. Staff will raise them before duck hunting begins this fall. Feeders will help to keep the ducks in the area when they start to f ly.

For some veterans, the beauty of nature at Patriot Point is what helps to bring them out of their own isolation.

“The most important part of this whole deal is talking, and being able to get out what’s in here,” Middleton says, pointing to his head. “I’ve had people [stay at Patriot Point] who haven’t been out of their homes in a year.”

The property, open since 2016, has more than two miles of shoreline and is uniquely situated with a sweeping view.

“We really are a convergence of several bodies of water: Slaughter Creek, Parsons Creek, the Little Choptank River.

You go straight up and hook a right and you’re in the Choptank River, or you go right out here and hook a left and now you’re in the Chesapeake Bay.” And further north up the Chesapeake Bay, an Annapolis boat dealer is generously supporting Patriot Point’s mission. Rob Taishoff, CEO and principal of Annapolis Yacht Sales, is a managing board member of the veterans retreat and a retired Navy captain. The Taishoff Family Foundation has given about $1.5 million to Patriot Point.

“I have funneled resources using Annapolis Yacht Sales to provide equipment, boats, that type of thing for the use of Hugh and the participants…I have the ability to buy the boat at cost.

So Annapolis Yacht Sales’ contribution is whatever margin we would have made,” Taishoff says.

Veterans go fishing and get on kayaks.

“I want to make sure there’s as many avenues as possible to access everything the Chesapeake Bay has to offer,” Taishoff adds.

Under Armour donated the gym with floor-to-ceiling windows where veterans can work out with a view. The other indoor spaces include a long table to enjoy meals, plenty of updated bedrooms, and a cozy lodge-like living space.

“Typically the same thing happens every time,” Middleton explains. “People get here, there’s some idle chit-chat.

Everybody’s a little guarded and uncomfortable. Within an hour, because this place is so relaxing and welcoming, people start laughing and talking and joking and discussing: ‘I have the same problem you have. What did you do, how did you get through it?’”

For military veterans, Middleton says there will always be a need for this place of refuge. “I’ve lost four friends in the last six months to suicide, guys I’ve served with.”

Patriot Point helps wounded veterans discover a life worth living.

t’s not the easiest place on the Bay to get to, but that’s part of its appeal. On a remote point in Dorchester County wounded veterans can experience the peace of the waterfront with fellow service members dealing with similar challenges.

It’s called Patriot Point, where duck hunting, fishing, and simply relaxing have become tools for healing. The veteran-founded organization gets support

CHESAPEAKE BAY COMMISSION DIRECTOR RETIRES AFTER 34 YEARS

PHOTOGRAPHER’S MALLOWS BAY IMAGE FEATURED ON NEW U.S. POSTAGE STAMP

nn Swanson, the longtime executive director of the Chesapeake Bay Commission, is retiring in November after more than 34 years managing the tristate legislative advisory body.

Swanson said in an email that she’s leaving “with mixed emotions,” looking forward to the freedom to spend more time gardening, traveling and visiting with friends and family but finding it tough to leave what she called a “dream job.”

Under her guidance, the commission has championed legislation and budget decisions in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia to help restore the Bay and its 64,000-square-mile watershed.

Just this month, Pennsylvania lawmakers acted after years of hesitation on a pair of commission priorities: passing legislation to regulate lawn fertilizer application and establishing a Clean Streams Fund with $220 million in federal COVID-relief money to help bolster Chesapeake pollution reduction efforts.

Yale University. She has been repeatedly honored for her work, including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Chesapeake Conservancy and an Honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Vermont.

Her last day will be Nov. 21. The commission said it would advertise for a new director.

eginning this August, you can mail your cards and letters with a nod to one of the Chesapeake Bay’s most unique historical sites: the “ghost fleet” of Mallows Bay, as photographed by a talented Annapolis-area environmental photographer.

Peter Turcik remembers the moment well. He had been kayaking and photographing Mallows Bay all day. It was August 2016—hot, muggy, and with plenty of bugs.

Peter Turcik’s once-in-a-lifetime 2016 Mallows Bay photo now graces a postage stamp.

But the light was perfect when he came across the shipwreck at low tide, its graceful, yet gnarled, wooden bow arching out of the water and the sun setting behind it. He grabbed his camera, laid on his belly hoping not to drift too far before snapping the perfect photo.

In 2020, the United States Post Office approached him. They wanted to use his photograph in a collection of 16 postal stamps celebrating the 50th anniversary See STAMP on next page

BAY BULLETIN STAMP from page 4

Peter Turcik’s photo of Mallows Bay is part of a sheet of postage stamps featuring National Marine Sanctuaries.

Managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Marine Sanctuary System consists of 15 underwater wildlife sanctuaries and two marine monuments found along the US coastlines, the Great Lakes, Hawaii and American Samoa. Mallows Bay-Potomac River, known for its ghost fleet of over 100 shipwrecks visible from the water’s surface, was designated as a National Marine Sanctuary in 2019.

“It is surreal,” says Turcik, an Edgewater resident who works as a writer, photographer, videographer and editor of Fisheries magazine. “I’ve always had a passion for the outdoors and I feel honored to have one of my photographs selected.” He began photographing Mallows Bay while working as a media specialist for Chesapeake Conservancy, an Annapolis-based non-profit dedicated to the conservation of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.

“I’ve followed Peter’s photography for a number of years,” says Jody Hedeman Couser, Senior Vice President of Communications for Chesapeake Conservancy. “He never ceases to astound me with his ability to capture a sense of place or a moment in time. He is extraordinarily talented.”

The new Forever stamp series showcases the diverse wildlife and underwater ecosystems found within the 63,000 square miles that make up the National Marine Sanctuary System. The collection is currently available for pre-order at usps.com/ stamps. It will be available for purchase at most post offices on and after August 5.

Turcik’s photography can be viewed on his website: peterturcik.com.

ore than a hundred people filled the auditorium of Anne Arundel Community College’s (AACC) Health and Life Sciences’ Building on Tuesday, July 12 to see the first images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope.

First proposed in 1996 as an upgraded follow-up to the Hubble Space Telescope, the Webb telescope was completed in 2016 and launched into space on Christmas Day 2021. As the biggest space telescope ever built—it’s as tall as a three-story building and as long as a tennis court—it marks a milestone in

the field of astronomy. The Webb will study planetary systems and exo-planets—planets that orbit stars outside our own solar system.

Meanwhile, back on Earth, AACC was just one of many locations across the country to host a public screening of an interactive event in which expert scientists explained the significance of the first images from Webb and answered questions. According to Dr. Deborah Levine, event moderator and professor of astronomy at AACC, it was the first time the college had ever hosted an event like this. “It was a very carefully well-planned effort,” she said. “The college offered great support.”

While many members of the college were in attendance, the audience was made up of all ages and backgrounds.

“It was a very nice diverse mix,” said Levine. “About 50 percent were people who had not come to an event like this before—and I think that’s almost as exciting as the images.”

To most, the images were simply curiosities, but they mean a lot more to scientists like Levine who have devoted a large part of their lives to studying the stars. “I’m really sort of impressed with the scale of it,” she said. “It’s almost a little emotional in that way.”

Levine explained how revolutionary the James Webb Space Telescope is turning out to be. “Every time you have a big leap in your equipment, you wind up with a big leap in your understanding because of all the things you don’t anticipate,” she said. “The irony is, in order to sell a project like that, you have to put down a lot of things that you are very confident it will be able to do.”

Levine adds that scientists are really hoping for “the stuff that makes you go ‘wow—I didn’t expect that. I’ve gotta figure out what that means.’”

As the gathered guests were celebrating the technical marvels of the new telescope, a thunderstorm caused some technical difficulties that temporarily interrupted the live online event, but it was quickly recovered by the staff. AACC hosts a student Astronomy Club as well as its own on-campus observatory.

Matthew Barzal is an AACC student who just recently changed his major from electrical engineering to astronomy. He was astounded by the Webb’s capabilities—essentially seeing millions of years into the past thanks to its ability to visualize infrared light. “It’s just incredible to see exactly how far back in time we can see these images of our galaxy from and the different things that we will potentially be able to learn from this,” he said. “It’s incredibly exciting.”

The new telescope will continue to take pictures for about ten years until it runs out of fuel. Until then armchair-astronauts should keep an eye out for new photos as they come.

Unique Artwork to Benefit Museum

or the past 30 years, Debbie Wood has been soliciting donations for the Chesapeake Children’s Museum in Annapolis. As the organization’s founder and director, she is always looking for supplies she and her team can use in the many hands-on educational programs they coordinate throughout the year.

When Nordstrom, a Seattle-based department store chain, announced the closing of its Westfield Annapolis Mall location in 2020, Wood heard they had items to give away. “I wanted tables and ribbons and that sort of thing,” she says.

What she got was so much more.

CEO Erik B. Nordstrom gave her the original Larry Yung painting commissioned especially for the Annapolis location. Yung is a Chinese-American artist with a worldwide following. His work can be found in the Alternative Museum in New York City, The Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, Berkeley Art Center, and

Southern Md Surfing Legend Selected for National Surfing Walk of Fame

T

he Chesapeake Bay is a slightly unexpected place to find a surfing legend.

But Chesapeake Beach’s Bruce Gabrielson, 75, is counted among the greats, and

the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, as well as private collections, including Bill Gates’ Microsoft Collection.

“I knew I couldn’t hang it in the museum, so I asked if I could sell it, and they said yes,” recalls Wood.

Wood reached out to Ruby Singleton Blakeney, owner of D’Art Gallery, for help. Blakeney has been housing the painting and is now coordinating its sale via auction. While the painting has not been appraised, Blakeney, a professional art buyer and consultant calls it “an impressive piece that has all the qualities that make it a good investment.”

Proceeds from the sale of the painting will go towards replacing the Chesapeake Children’s Museum parking lot.

“We have a $40,000 grant from the state, but we need matching funds,” says Wood.

The new parking lot will be eco-friendly and pedestrian friendly and construction could begin as early as September.

Blakeney describes the untitled 66” X 90” work as mixed media. The value of the painting has been placed at more than $25,000 based on what Nordstrom paid for the 1994 commission. Bidding opened on July 5 and will continue through July 28 at 6:30 p.m. The opening bid is $4,000 with $500 minimum bids. The easiest way to place a bid is to text “BID” along with your name to 443-336-1043.

On July 27, the painting will be on display at Westin Annapolis Hotel before bidding closes. Potential bidders who wish to see the painting before then are asked to contact Blakeney directly.

Blakeney urges those not interested in buying the painting to still consider a donation to Chesapeake Children’s Museum. “I have so much respect for what Dr. Wood is doing. Her creative, hands-on approach is exactly what our children need.” now he’s headed to the sport’s walk of fame in California.

Gabrielson will join the “immortals of surfing” by being inducted into the prestigious Surfing Walk of Fame in Huntington Beach, Calif., aka “Surf City”, on Aug. 4. A personalized granite stone will be placed in the sidewalk. The 29th annual induction will be held as part of the annual VANS US Open of Surfing.

“I was surprised when I got the news because I’m getting older and have been passed over by younger guys when nominated in recent years,” Gabrielson told Bay Bulletin.

Gabrielson happened to be in Huntington Beach for its Fourth of July parade when notified of his selection by Peter Townend, former world champ and current International Surfing Museum director. He was selected from 41 finalists and over 200 total applicants in 2022.

This time around he was nominated by Mike Downey, a member of the Huntington Beach High School surf team Gabrielson created and coached.

A lifelong advocate for surfing, Gabrielson first fell in love with the sport as a Huntington Beach native in 1960 after he and a friend borrowed the friend’s brother’s surfboard. They took to it like fish to water. He quickly came to be known as The Huntington Beach Snake thanks to his skill in competition, and helped grow the sport’s popularity, participation, and professionalism in an equally speedy manner.

Gabrielson co-founded the first collegiate surfing league in the U.S. and worked to get surfing recognized as a competitive high school sport in the state of California. He also taught surfing through the 1970s and wrote a book to train other coaches. After 20 years of growing the sport in California, Gabrielson moved to Maryland.

His day job was with Naval Research Labs working on DARPANET, a predecessor to the modern-day Internet devel-

oped for the U.S. military. On his own, he created what he believes to be the world’s first surfing website in 1991.

In addition to setting the standards for surfing instruction, he opened his own surfing museum and art gallery in Chesapeake Beach in 2000. Ranked among Maryland’s top 20 cultural museums by the Maryland Department of Tourism, it contains a wide array of paintings by surf artists and what is perhaps the largest collection of surf sculptures, including many made of driftwood by Gabrielson himself, in the country.

Ref lecting on why he’s put such an awe-inspiring amount of time and effort into supporting surfing around the Bay, Gabrielson says, “Few people in this area realize how big the surfing industry is (over $3 billion), and even fewer appreciate what it took to develop both the industry and the sport over the years. So, since I’ve lived the sport since its golden years and have been involved with every aspect of it, it’s been natural for me, a history buff at heart, to want to leave this legacy for newer generations.”

And as for why Gabrielson fell in love with surfing in the first place?

“I love many things about surfing,” says The Snake. “Although I had a long career in a very advanced technical field, surfing kept me grounded and happy appreciating the simple things. For example, when I meet my old surfing friends, we visit during our drive, sometimes stop for breakfast, and just enjoy socializing. We strive to leave our daily lives behind and focus on the simple pleasures that surfing—and being in nature—provides.”

BEAT THE HEAT Cool ideas for coping with soaring temps

J

ULY IS HISTORICALLY Maryland’s hottest month. While we have enjoyed a rather mild summer so far, it’s time to crank up the air because the heat is on.

The National Weather Service has already released its hazard outlook for the midAtlantic and two words are sure to catch the eye of anyone in Chesapeake Country this weekend into next week: excessive heat.

Don’t melt just yet, CBM Bay Weekly has some ideas and options for you to beat the heat.

First up, a look at swimming around the region and where to splash when the Bay hits that bathwater temperature that even the fish don’t like. (At last check the buoy data out of Annapolis said the water was 85 degrees.) And these hot late summer weeks also attract some of our least favorite visitors: jellyfish.

If you love nature but not the heat, consider visiting a park after dark. Many sites around the region offer nocturnal activities that are much more bearable and are sure to bring out the night owls. The Patuxent Research Refuge lured CBM Intern Noah Hale away for an after-dark adventure.

And finally, ice skating isn’t just for winter. Find out where to go so you can literally, chill on ice.

GET COOL IN A POOL

ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY

BY JUDY COLBERT

Arundel Olympic Swim Center

f you’re a local, you’re almost guaranteed to hear from a constant parade of friends and relatives who want to crash in your spare bedroom while they visit Annapolis, Washington, D.C. or Baltimore. No big problem. You just take them to the Metro or light rail station and pick them up after their exhausting day of sightseeing.

Until they decide they’re tired of walking 20,000 steps a day or you’re faced with one of our notoriously hot and humid days. Even if you don’t have visitors, you suddenly realize it’s time to find a deliciously cool place to just relax for a few hours. But if you don’t have a membership to your neighborhood pool—or live in a community that even has a pool—where can you go?

We found a few options for your summer swim break, some are county-operated pools, a couple of nearby beaches, and a resort with all the bells and whistles.

Like locations across the country, there is a shortage of trained lifeguards currently, so be sure to call or check websites before heading out.

Same goes for hours, restrictions regarding age, toilet training, food and beverages, towels, lap swimming, shallow-entrances, slides, location, cost, in-

door/outdoor, and other options.

Pools with competitive swim teams may have Saturday morning meets or other team events that may close the pool. Keep an eye out for those pools that accept online reservations which may offer a discount and allow you to enter the facility just by showing your reservation.

Our list is not definitive. Rather, it highlights facilities in a variety of geographic areas, with a range of admission fees, and an assortment of facilities. If you are a DOD employee, check for special admission to swimming pools at the Naval Academy or Fort Meade.

If you prefer to swim in a more private setting, look to Swimply.com. This site operates like the Airbnb of swimming pools. Homeowners rent their own pools by the hour on the site, you just select the location, the number of guests, and the time and Swimply points you to a nearby pool for rent.

Some of the pools feature amenities like outdoor restrooms, barbecue pits, hot tubs, playgrounds, heated pools, saltwater pools and more. Most pools range from $30 an hour to $100 or more, depending on size and amenities.

A 10 to 15 percent fee goes to Swimply.

BULLFROGS ON PARADE Walking the Patuxent at Night

BY NOAH HALE

I

’m a nature-lover at heart—my childhood was built upon walks on the beach and hikes in the woods; that’s what happens when you grow up in the middle of nowhere. You get used to the outdoors. For some people, maybe that’s why they don’t find themselves coming back to it all. How many more mosquito bites and muddy sneakers can one person live with before they shut themselves up indoors, safe and sound?

But every once in a while, if you’re like me, you hear the call of the wilderness, and you say to yourself, “How can I say no?” That’s how I found myself outdoors in the dark last month for a night hike in the Patuxent River Research Refuge in Laurel.

The concept is self-explanatory: hikers meet late in the evening to walk one of the park’s many trails. You can expect to encounter a unique set of wildlife that thrives in the dark, since most of the refuge’s residents are nocturnal.

Soon after I parked my car, a volunteer showed the group pictures of some of the animals that we might see: bats, beavers (the best time to see beavers, he told us, was at sundown), foxes, toads, frogs, and opossums, to name a few. Our group was just as miscellaneous as all of these animals—some were students; some were solo; some were families; and the rest were volunteers who were there to help guide us.

As soon as we left the parking lot, I could immediately feel something change. It was getting darker, and our arrival seemed to perfectly coincide with nature’s living light show, the firef lies. They were all around us, so I was surprised when the ranger said that there were usually a lot more of them on these hikes. But while we were lacking firef lies, we weren’t lacking amphibians. There were thousands and thousands of toads and frogs. Or so it seemed.

At first we heard them from a distance. I didn’t think their volume was any louder than what you’d normally hear in your own backyard, but even-

tually the footpath changed direction and the ranger had us stop next to a pitch-black swamp. We could hardly hear each other; the only thing we could hear were the throaty calls of the creatures that surrounded us—the baritone notes of common toads, the banjo-like notes of young green frogs ...

It was backwoods rock-and-roll, all the way through. If you listened for long enough you could even tap your foot to a rhythm. The biggest rockstar here, though, had to be the bullfrog who had followed us everywhere we went. Its characteristic jug-o-rum was the theme song of our hike, and no matter where I stopped to get a drink of water, I could find one sitting next to the trail or hear an army of them jug-o-rumming in the darkness of the woods. It was humbling to see this jumper sitting next to me in the moonlight, its big throat bulging, probably wondering why this weird ape was crouched down to look at it.

After the hike, Ranger Jeff Bolden said he began the night hikes ten years ago in order to show off more of the park. “We had an evening hike called an ‘owl prowl ’ where they would go and look for owls, but I didn’t want just birders, I wanted an overview of the whole place,” he said.

Now Bolden plans night hikes for different times of the year when the wildlife and the landscape change with the seasons. He is a passionate educator and took his time to answer questions and point out interesting plants and animals.

“For people who don’t understand nature, or who are afraid to go out, this is the best time to do it,” said Bolden. “It’s with a group of people, and I’ll supply anything like a f lashlight or bug spray ... my main goal is to try and get people out, and to try and get them interested in nature.”

The next night hike is scheduled for October, when the dead leaves will lay the foundation for yet another set of feet— animal and human alike. By that time I’m sure I’ll hear nature again. Of course I’ll go.

MOVIEGOER

BY DIANA BEECHENER

Lydia Rose Bewley, Richard E. Grant, Dakota Johnson, and Yolanda Kettle in Persuasion.

Persuasion

Finally, a Jane Austen movie for people who hate Jane Austen AVAIL ABLE ON NETFLIX

A

nne Elliot (Dakota Johnson: Cha Cha Real Smooth) is single and thriving—allegedly. After refusing the love of her life because he didn’t have money or titles, Anne has been stuck living with her narcissistic family and pining for the life she could have had. Her days are spent chugging wine from the bottle, rolling her eyes at her extravagant family, and petting a bunny.

But when Anne’s long-lost love returns after eight years, things have changed.

Frederick Wentworth (Cosmo Jarvis: It Is In Us All) is now a captain in the Royal Navy and has made a fortune pillaging ships. He’s also the most eligible bachelor in town and flooded with admirers.

Though they form a tentative friendship, both Anne and Frederick clearly still long for each other. But new flames complicate the renewal of their affections.

Can Anne and Frederick rekindle their love? Is it possible to hear the dialogue of this movie over the agonized screams of Jane Austen fans?

(Full Disclosure: Your reviewer has a minor in Victorian and Regency literature and had to resist the urge to run screaming into the editor’s office with a 19-page treatise on everything wrong with this film. You can all thank Kathy for stopping me.)

Setting aside the film’s utter failure to capture either the spirit of the novel or the essence of any character, this version of Persuasion is just a dull, tepid romance. Director Carrie Cracknell, who transitions from theater to film with this adaptation, is so self-conscious of her work that she breaks the fourth wall every five minutes to make sure the audience is following along. Johnson addresses the camera like Ferris Bueller in a gown after every joke, winking or rolling her eyes so we know to laugh. She explains every detail of the plot, even explaining that her father’s children are her siblings—just in case anyone suffered a head wound before turning on the movie. It’s an infuriating and distracting device, made more distracting by the fact that Cracknell abandons it halfway through the film.

It’s also jarring to modernize both the language and attitudes of all the characters while keeping the period setting.

Cracknell seems determined to make all the women in this film #girlbosses but gives no context for how hard that would be for women in the 1840s. Anne is blamed for not “following her heart,” but Cracknell doesn’t care to outline why that might be difficult for someone with no rights to money or property except through her spouse or male relations. Greta Gerwig’s excellent feminist adaptation of Little Women outlined how society forced women to view marriage as a monetary venture. Cracknell doesn’t care about any of this context. It’s both condescending and confounding. It’s fitting that Marie Antoinette is referenced frequently in this film because Cracknell takes a “let them eat cake” attitude to the plights facing women in this era.

But at the event horizon of this black hole of cinema is the chemistry-free relationship between Anne and Wentworth. Johnson is too busy playing Anne as a functioning alcoholic and flopping through pratfalls to bother generating any sort of connection with Jarvis. Her flat affectation and eye rolling make it hard to discern any emotion from her. But Jarvis comes out the worse for wear. He smothers any ounce of mystery or charisma surrounding Wentworth by making him the mopiest drip that ever donned a pair of breeches. There is not a moment in the film where he doesn’t behave like a kicked puppy and it’s frankly a little embarrassing to watch.

The only likeable performances in the film are that of the two antagonists.

Richard E. Grant was born to play Anne’s vainglorious father. He saunters through scenes with aristocratic cruelty that is cutting and hilarious. As the nefarious Mr. Elliot, Anne’s cousin and love interest, Henry Golding shines. He steals every scene he’s in with such a winning delivery that it’s hard to understand why Anne would bother with Wentworth at all. The only time Anne stops drinking long enough to engage with anyone is when Golding draws her out. It might have been interesting to cast him as the lead (either as Anne or Wentworth, I’m not particular and he’s better than both) and see what he could do to right this ship.

If you’re a devoted fan of Austen’s, Persuasion will seem like a slap in the face.

If you’ve never cared for Austen and just like period costumes and charming men, I recommend watching Bridgerton. As for this dreck, I remain half agony, half hope that other adaptations will learn from its numerous mistakes.

CREATURE FEATURE

so that the butterfly form will be distasteful to large predators. Their predators are mostly other insects and spiders.

The pupa form of the cloudless sulphur resides in a chrysalis that resembles a leaf. This mimicry is quite remarkable but the butterfly will give itself away by shaking if the chrysalis is touched.

The term “cloudless” refers to the fact that its top and edges of its wings have no markings. The cloudless sulphurs may have a few dark spots on the underside of the wings. They have a wingspan of about two inches.

The smaller “clouded” sulphurs have dark leading edges on the wings and dark spots on top of the wings. They have a wingspan of about one and a quarter inch. The clouded sulphurs have a two-week lifespan as a butterfly and the caterpillars prefer to live on clover.

The cloudless sulphur butterfly is one of our late summer garden visitors. Having late blooming flowers and avoiding the use of insecticides will attract them to your gardens. I like growing purple-stemmed aster for these late season pollinators. •

Late Summer Sulphurs

A

common summer butterf ly here in Maryland is the cloudless sulphur butterf ly (Phoebis sennae). The largest member of the Pieridae family of butterf lies, which includes cabbage whites and clouded yellows, cloudless sulphurs are very active and never seem to rest for long. Sulphur butterf lies get their name because they are yellow like the chemical compound sulfur.

The cloudless sulphur butterfly is particularly interesting in that it has a fall and spring migration pattern that, like the monarch, can take it over a thousand miles to complete. But unlike the monarch, some of these sulphur butterflies make a round trip.

Most butterfly species that live in the northern parts of North America spend winter as a pupa in a cocoon preparing to emerge in the spring. However, the

cloudless sulphur flies away from the cold temperatures. In the fall, they will fly all the way to the Gulf Coast from southern Canada and return in the spring.

They lay eggs on their trip to the north and some of those offspring will also head that direction. The ones that live in, say, North Carolina don’t have to fly as far. It turns out that the butterflies that fly the farthest are bigger than the ones that don’t fly as far.

The life span of the cloudless sulphur in the fall and winter is much longer than most other moths and butterflies.

The preferred host plants for the cloudless sulphur are members of the wild pea family called American or wild senna, which gives the butterfly its species name. Senna plants are widespread and toxic; caterpillars of the cloudless sulphur concentrate the toxin as they grow

GARDENING FOR HEALTH

Stay Cool as a Cucumber

C

ucumbers are a great summer treat that are also prolific right now, given the amount of rain we’ve been receiving this season. I like to refrigerate them before eating as it makes them extra crunchy.

Cucumbers are a warm season crop and relish the heat, but also like good hydration. Cucumbers like to vine on the ground, but you can save space by training them upwards on a fence or netting.

Put cucumber seeds in the ground after all danger of frost is over and make sure to put a lot of compost in the soil. Be on the lookout for the spotted cucumber beetle, a yellow pest

with black spots. They also like to eat flowers, and can spread a serious bacterial wilt disease. If you cover your plants with floating row covers when the plants start growing, you can exclude this pest at the stage when the plants are most vulnerable. Make sure to remove the row covers once the blossoms start to appear so that pollinators can do their work. Cucumbers also like an application of seaweed or green sand.

The two types of cucumbers that do well for me are General Lee and Diva. General Lee has been bred for the South. They have a superior flavor and high yield and are gynoecious.

18 • CBM BAY WEEKLY • July 21 - July 28, 2022

Gynoecious cucumbers produce only female flowers and are usually blended with 10 percent monecious cucumbers, which have male and female flowers.

Diva is parthenocarpic, which means it does not require pollination to set fruit. If isolated from other pollen producing cucumbers, they will be seedless.

Albert Lueng is a pharmacognosist— someone who studies plants as possible sources of medicine. Leung says cucumbers have a long folk history of use for soothing dermatitis burns and treating wrinkles.

Try filling a pitcher with sliced cucumbers and spearmint and cover with water and refrigerate for a day for a very refreshing drink.

Make the Greek dip tzatziki, a yogurtbased dish (also known by its Turkish name cacik) to accompany fried eggplant or zucchini or meatballs. Grate a large cucumber into a colander and sprinkle with salt and let stand 30 minutes. Squeeze the water out and add 3 large minced cloves of garlic, 2 cups Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and 1/4 cup each of fresh chopped parsley, dill

Fishing in the Dog Days of Summer

Y

ears ago, when my energy levels were at their peak, my angling days during these sweltering months began at 5 a.m., at the latest, and for good reason.

First of all, both the early air and water temps were still cool and the perch and rockfish remained active and hungry.

That was prime time to work tributary rock shorelines, shallows and wooden structures with lures such as Beetle Spins and Rooster Tails for perch and Rat-L-Traps and sometimes poppers for rockfish. There were few anglers on the water this early and the fish were numerous, big and plump. To a certain extent the situation is the same today.

As the years passed and my energies ebbed, I started out later and later, and the fish got fewer and smaller and the better spots more and more crowded.

It was not a difficult pattern to recognize and the solution obvious—but getting up earlier eventually became a non-starter. After all, I had a day of work ahead and I was still catching enough whities for our family fish fries, though the rockfish became ever more scarce.

But still the blazing sun and heat in mid-summer definitely slowed down my activities, my angling results, and that of everyone else as well. These periods are still commonly known as the dog days. You don’t have to be a sci-

Way before there were conventional calendars, the Dog Star or Sirius, a point in the Canis Majoris constellation and so named by the ancient Greeks, was the first and brightest star observable in the summer night sky. Folks everywhere knew when that point of light emerged they were at the start of what would be the hottest days of the year—at least those civilizations that adopted astronomical observations as part of their traditional knowledge base.

Practical weather knowledge became more commonl among civilizations at least a thousand years ago. A study of the stars was one of the earliest scientific disciplines. Curiously, the constellation Canis Major has always been known as the dog (or wolf constellation) around the globe, though it is doubtful that astronomers at that time had close enough contact with each other to share that designation.

Currently the dog days of summer are still called that, not because of the star, but because everyone that gets outside in mid-summer notices that actual dogs

(our longtime close companions) everywhere are laying about in the shade dozing all day and rarely become active before nighttime. Hence a continued reference to the period as the dog days persists to the present.

When rockfish season reopens August 1 it will be prudent to note that very early mornings will continue to be the solution for the dog day doldrums just as they’ve been for endless years prior.

The first anglers of the mornings will always catch the best and most fish during these hot summer months. Good luck to all out there and stay cool. •

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

BY THE EDITORS AT ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION What's in a Name?

Since 2013, when he was only 13 years old, Le'Genius Williams, now 22, of St. Petersburg, Florida, has spent a whole lotta time in the criminal justice system, The Smoking Gun reported.

After release from prison in 2020, he was arrested in 2021 and released on $12,000 bond in February. But his latest run-in with law enforcement was on June 13, when he allegedly struck his girlfriend in the face with a handgun, then drove off in a truck with another man. When police caught up with him, they found loaded firearms, cocaine and fentanyl in the vehicle. Le'Genius, once again not living up to his name, was held on $77,000 bond, and his earlier bond was revoked.

Smooth Reaction

A woman who was allegedly being held hostage in the Bronx, New York, used a food ordering app to plead for help on June 19, CNN reported.

The unnamed woman, 24, had met a man online and agreed to meet him, but, she said, he assaulted and raped her. He took away her phone, but she asked if she could use it to order food.

On her Grubhub order, she added a note: "please call the police ... please don't make it obvious." The restaurant, Chipper Truck Cafe in Yonkers, alerted police, who responded about an hour later and arrested Kemoy Royal, 32.

He was held on $25,000 cash bail and faces charges in another assault that took place four days earlier. Grubhub offered $5,000 to the restaurant owner to "invest in her business as our way of recognizing her and (her family) for their quick thinking." Alice Bermejo, one of the owners, said, "We're just grateful that the girl is OK. That is the most important thing."

Oops

KXLY-TV reported on June 21 that a family in Spirit Lake, Idaho, has been left without a roof for three weeks after a contractor mistakenly tore the roof off their home. Jessica Hotvedt, the homeowner, said the contractor covered the house with a tarp and left a letter saying there had been a miscommunication and the crew had been sent to the wrong address. But now, no one will take the blame. The roofing company said their insurance would handle it; that company has denied the family's claims. In the meantime, rainy weather has caused mold and mildew inside the home, along with damage to floors, drywall and carpeting. Bids to reinstall the metal roof are coming in at over $70,000. The family has contacted the state's attorney general and the Better Business Bureau and is seeking legal counsel. "It was a very costly mistake and it should have been fixed," Hotvedt said.

Compelling Explanation

When Thanh Ha, 54, allegedly set fire to his boss's house in early May, he had a perfectly understandable reason: "Spirits" told him to do so, he told deputies. According to WFLA-TV, Ha was arrested on June 29 in Pinellas County, Florida, on second-degree arson charges. Authorities say surveillance cameras caught him riding a bike to his boss's new St. Petersburg home, securing his bike to a nearby stop sign and approaching the home on foot while trying to cover his face with his shirt. Five minutes later, he can be seen running back to his bike and riding away. Ha also told deputies he was not upset with his (presumably former) employer.

Most Helpful Criminal

Jeremiah James Taylor, 33, broke into a Park County (Colorado) Sheriff's substation on June 20 near Lake George and took off in a marked patrol car, USA Today reported. But you can't really completely hold that against him, because at 3:27 a.m., when a call for domestic violence in progress was broadcast over the police radio system in nearby Teller County, Taylor was the first to arrive at the home in Florissant, siren blaring. The unfamiliar "Park County sheriff" appeared intoxicated and the car was damaged, and when Teller County deputies asked Taylor to turn off the car and step out, he sped away, later crashing into the woods after a high-speed chase and attempting to flee on foot. Finally, Taylor was arrested and charged with four felony counts, including impersonating a police officer.

Bright Idea

During a flight from Detroit to Denver on June 25, an unidentified passenger was reprimanded by a flight attendant and other passengers after he

AirDropped a sexually explicit photo of himself to all the other passengers, the New York Post reported. One passenger, @DaddyStrange333, posted a video to TikTok documenting the incident; in the video, the flight attendant asks the man, "Why are you doing that?" "Just having a little fun," he replies. His fun came to an abrupt end when the flight landed and FBI agents escorted him off the plane. A Southwest Airlines spokesperson confirmed that the "unfortunate incident" occurred and that the airline "maintains zero tolerance for this obscene and unacceptable behavior."

Someone's Sleeping on the Couch

Colombian cyclist Luis Carlos Chia won a stage of the Vuelta a Colombia race on June 5 and threw his arms out wide to celebrate after crossing the finish line, Canadian Cycling reported.

But he was immediately forced to grab the handlebars again in an attempt to avoid hitting a group of photographers—among whom was his wife, Claudia Roncancio. Chia struck his wife with his bike, knocking her to the ground, where she lay unconscious as medical staff attended to her. "I don't understand why she didn't get out of the way," Chia said after the accident.

Roncancio needed four stitches and was kept under observation in a local hospital, but she is reportedly recovering.

News That Sounds Like a Joke

Feel like you're forgetting something?

That must have been how tennis pro Ugo Humbert of France felt when he turned up at Number Two Court at Wimbledon on June 29 without a key piece of equipment for his match against Norway's Casper Ruud—his rackets. Reuters reported that Humbert, 24, had to tell the umpire, "I don't have any rackets—sorry for that."

Fortunately for him, someone turned up with three rackets in just a few minutes, and after losing his first set, Humbert won the match.

Have It Your Way

The Concord Mall in Wilmington, Delaware, is getting its 15 minutes of fame after a vendor there discovered a hidden treasure locked behind a wall: a fully intact Burger King from 2009, Newsweek reported. Thomas Dahlke, general manager of the mall, uploaded a video tour of the restaurant, including finding a bag containing grossly well-preserved french fries. Current and former employees posted that the space has been used for storage and for running a hose through to water plants in the mall. One poster quipped: "In Europe they've been finding remnants, artifacts and towns of the Roman Empire. Here they find Burger Kings."

Handicap was a Middle Ages social event called ‘Hand-in-Cap,’ which is a cross between a flea market and a casino. Two people have items they want to trade and another is the judge, who places a value on the trade items. All three ante-up forfeit-money.

The game begins as both traders place a hand inside the cap. If both remove an opened hand they accept the deal, but closed fists means they don’t. Either way, the judge gets the ante. If the players do not agree ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ the ‘yes’ gets the ante. Why all this?

No window shoppers; serious inquiries only, and it was a socially acceptable form of gambling, though odds are they mostly traded alcohol. “Hey Capt’n, let’s cap-off the hand-in-cap with a nightcap!”
