Sketch, Paint, Create—Arts on the Bay

Clay creations by Kimberly Knotts.

t’s going to be a busy weekend here in Chesapeake Country. Having so many events and activities to choose from is one of the pleasures of the summer season. I’m hoping you hung on to last week’s Summer Fun issue to help plan your outings. If you are around Annapolis this week, you will no doubt notice a different sort of canvas popping up around town—not the kind you catch a stiff breeze with. Art no longer resides solely in a gallery or museum. And it no longer remains the territory of the wealthy and privileged. That’s the underlying idea behind Annapolis Art Week, which begins this weekend. Writer Duffy Perkins sketches out the events and venues and the artists behind this community effort. Annapolis is an art-loving town. There are at least a dozen places you can find art on exhibit—be it a gallery, a restaurant, a park or even city hall. We are lucky to have an active Art in Public Places Commission, which works to make Annapolis “an art gallery without walls.”

We have outdoor sculptures, public murals, and art outreach programs bringing color and beauty and form and texture to all our neighborhoods. There are art clubs, groups, guilds and studios. This is a region inspired by the Bay but also by its people, its places, and its shapes. They pick up cameras, brushes, charcoal, pencils—a lump of clay. As Susan Nolan writes in her story about the SoCo Arts Lab in southern Anne Arundel County, clay is in the spotlight as a group of artists take lifeless lumps of earth and mold it with “endless opportunities.” Visit them for Clay on the Bay June 18 and watch them in action and maybe discover your own desire to sink your hands into this very different art form. I’ve never done it, but I called someone who has gone on her own journey into the world of pottery and ceramics. My sister Kimberly has been an adventurous artist as long as I’ve known her and her latest love affair is with wheel throwing.

“What’s really cool about,” she reports to me, “is that it’s very tactile. You’ve got wet muddy hands and its messy but you are also turning a ball of clay into something new.” A bit of an enthusiast, she exclaims to me, “it’s a magical sensation—with just a few movements of your fingers, there’s a bowl or there’s a cup where before it was just a lump of clay.” Clay work is meditative according to her. She says you can’t think about anything else while working with it; because every sensation, every bit of pressure or movement changes what you create. There’s a science to it apparently because you have to knead it or “wedge” the material—something about getting all the platelets aligned. Truthfully, this is where she lost me. If there are bubbles or holes in your creation when it goes to be fired in a kiln, it can create a disaster. Now there’s a metaphor for life. Work the bubbles out, my friends. Perhaps the best part of working with clay is that you don’t need to know the whys of it all. “There is so much to it, science, balance, creativity—but you don’t have to know any of that to do it,” Kimberly says. And that, perhaps, is what lies at the heart of true art. Making something with your hands that is maybe beautiful, maybe practical, but you don’t know what you have created until it is finished.

BOATER DIES IN WATER AT SANDY POINT STATE PARK BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

aryland Natural Resources Police (NRP) have released more information about how a 43-year-old man died in the water near Sandy Point State Park on Sunday. NRP responded to the beach around 12:30 p.m. after getting reports of an

unresponsive man being pulled from the water. Officers say a good Samaritan saw the man floating and was able to bring him back to the marina. According to police, the victim and his family had launched their boat from the ramp at Sandy Point. But the vessel began to “experience issues”, so the group docked their boat to go fishing instead.

While the family was fishing, police say the victim jumped into the Bay to cool off, but was swept away in the current. The family waved for help and a good Samaritan boat found him and pulled him from the water. They brought him to meet NRP at the marina, but sadly, it was too late. “Our officers did perform lifesaving

BRING BACK THE BROOK TROUT: DNR TO RESTORE UNIQUE SEVERN RIVER STREAM

BY CHERYL COSTELLO

he Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) needs a few good anglers—to help them track about 500 Northern snakeheads they’ve tagged for research. And they’re making it worth your while to fish for them. DNR’s scientists want to find out more about the snakeheads’ movement patterns and where they are fished. To give anglers some extra incentive, they’re offering $10-$200 to those who catch a tagged snakehead. The snakeheads are getting tags in the upper Bay. If you catch one and report it, the reward is yours. Matt Edwards reported the first tag, on a fish he caught while bow hunting in Gunpowder Falls on May 19. “I read it and it said there’s a $10 reward if you call the number and report the fish,” Edwards says. Dr. Joe Love, who leads the effort for DNR’s Freshwater Fisheries Program, says simply, “We’re paying them for good information.” Anglers can earn either $10 for a low-reward tag or $200 for a high-reward tag. “We’re dedicating the work in the upper Chesapeake Bay where we have a new kind of fishery developing and new people to reach out to. We were lucky enough to receive some funding to start this tagging program up there with the intent of encouraging people to harvest the animal and, hopefully, eat the animal because it’s a very tasty fish,” Love says. Snakeheads tend to be homebodies, but some do make long-distance moves,

rescue measures,” says NRP spokesperson Lauren Moses. “However, they were unsuccessful in resuscitating the male,” and he was pronounced dead. Moses says the victim was 43, from Prince George’s County, but police were not releasing his identity yet. Memorial Day weekend is typically one of the busiest of the year at Sandy Point State Park—both at the beach and the boat ramp—and this year was no different. Maryland State Parks notified the public at 11:30 a.m. Sunday that the park was full to capacity and not accepting anymore visitors. It reopened about four hours later.

“We do have to learn certain things about this species in order to support a larger preventative strategy.” —DR. JOE LOVE, DNR’S FRESHWATER FISHERIES PROGRAM Love says. “We just had a tag report come in and that snakehead had moved 4.7 kilometers per day. That’s the fastest we’ve got on record so far.” Snakeheads were first discovered in the Bay on the tidal Potomac River about 20 years ago. DNR says they are now firmly established in other fresh and low-salinity tidal waters in Maryland and Virginia. They’re invasive, so it’s illegal to move them and anglers are encouraged to kill them rather than release them. Love says the tagging program has

M gotten a bit of backlash from people who think the scientists should be removing snakeheads from the water altogether, rather than tagging and throwing them back. But, as he explains, “We do have to learn certain things about this species in order to support a larger preventative strategy.” Things like where the fish are going, how fast they’re growing, where they’re migrating, and how fast they migrate. “I guess they could come up with some pretty interesting results,” angler Edwards speculates. To tag hundreds of fish, DNR researchers create an electric field near their boat, stun the fish, and then measure their length and note where they were caught, before tagging and releasing them. The results of the tag-catch-reward program could inform how DNR manages the fishery. “If we learn that people are not harvesting many snakeheads in the upper Bay, then we might have to switch tactics on how we reach people,” says Love. The reward program continues through 2024.

aryland regulators have given a green light to a controversial restoration project in the state’s only Coastal Plain stream to have supported brook trout until recently. The Maryland Department of the Environment recently approved a proposal by the state’s Department of Natural Resources to restore a portion of Jabez Branch, a tributary of the Severn River in Anne Arundel County. Brook trout need cold, clear water to survive, which is typically found only in mountainous or hilly streams. For many years, though, Jabez Branch was an anomaly, with cool springs feeding it and trees lining its banks to shield the water from the hot sun. But the trout have been struggling to hold on there since the late 1980s, as warm stormwater runoff began pouring into the stream from new highways, homes and commercial development built nearby. Despite restoration and restocking efforts, the trout population dwindled as water quality declined. Three years ago, for the first time in 25 years, state biologists were unable to find any brook trout in the headwaters of the Jabez, their traditional habitat. DNR proposes to restore nearly a halfmile of one of the stream’s prongs where See TROUT on next page

storm flow has carved a deep channel into the land. State officials intend to raise the stream bed by filling it with sand, gravel and wood chips, as well as enhance and enlarge the 2.6 acres of wetlands bordering the stream. The plan also includes installing riffles and pools in the channel itself to slow the water’s flow and capture some of the stormwater surges. “We have to go fix this stream to make it better for everybody, including trout,” said Claudia Donegan, DNR’s habitat conservation and restoration director. The banks are eroding so badly, she said, that “right now it’s hemorrhaging fine sediment in every storm.” The plan has the enthusiastic support of the Severn River Association and Severn River Commission, which contend that sediment washed down Jabez Branch is also harming the larger river. But a local chapter of Trout Unlimited objected, contending that DNR’s proposed “regenerative stream channel” restoration technique was untried on trout streams and would not improve water quality enough to enable brook trout to survive there. The conservation group favors “natural channel design,” a streambank stabilization technique that has been successfully used to restore trout habitat elsewhere. But the group stressed that for any restoration to be effective, more needs to be done to prevent over-

While DNR’s preferred restoration technique has not been tried before on a trout stream, Donegan said officials believe it will be more resilient to the increasingly heavy storms and runoff expected from climate change. “We need a different approach,” she said. MDE approved DNR’s plan, which it said was modified to address objections and appears likely to reduce stream temperatures and meet other water quality goals. As a precaution, MDE imposed 19 special conditions on the project. Chief among them is a requirement that DNR monitor the restored stream stretch for 10 years and prepare an “adaptive management plan” spelling out other things to try

should the restoration not go as expected. Art Senkel, with the Mid-Atlantic Council of Trout Unlimited, called the MDE decision disappointing but not unexpected. He said he was glad MDE imposed conditions, but he contended that the plan still doesn’t address sediment and stormwater flowing into the stream from upland highways and development. The project, estimated to cost about $5 million, still needs final approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, but Donegan said she expected that shortly. Because more planning is needed to satisfy MDE’s conditions, she said construction would likely start in spring 2023. You can read this story in its entirety at bayjournal.com.

n Monday, May 23, elected officials representing Calvert and St. Mary’s counties converged in Solomons to discuss the future of the Thomas Johnson Bridge. Built in 1977, the two-lane bridge connects the two counties on each side of the Patuxent River and is traversed by over 30,000 drivers each day. According to the state of Maryland, it is also one of the state’s bridges to receive a “poor” rating. According to the 2020 Transportation Priorities report generated by the Calvert County government, traffic has increased exponentially. In 1990, it was used daily by 12,900 vehicles, a number that has more than doubled thanks to increases in industrial and residential areas on both sides of the river. “When this bridge was constructed, it was never intended to have that many vehicles go over it,” said state Sen. Jack Bailey. Congressman Steny Hoyer agreed, adding, “This is a wonderful spot and this is a wonderful bridge. It simply is not up to present day demands.” He estimated building a new four lane bridge will cost approximately $600-$700 million. All the elected officials present seemed

to be in agreement that a complete replacement is the best course of action. Bailey recalled his time working as a national resource officer in 1988, when the bridge had to be closed for significant foundational repairs. At that time, the bridge was only 11 years old when it was discovered that cracks had formed in many of the vertical piers. The bridge had to be closed to traffic for months to make repairs and add steel reinforcement, forcing commuters miles out of

their way and forcing the air base and power plant to create different evacuation routes and emergency plans. “It’s critical to our work force. It’s also critical to our safety,” said Del. Rachel Jones. “It’s too late for more patches or small fixes. We need a new bridge.” Three of the major employers straddling the two sides of the bridge also happen to be facilities requiring reliable means of transport and safe evacuation routes: Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, the Cove Point Liquid Natural Gas import terminal, and the Naval Air

Station Patuxent River in St. Mary’s. “All three of those are national security interests,” said Hoyer. “Not just Calvert, not just St. Mary’s—they are national interests and they require national attention.” Sen. Ben Cardin addressed the security issue as well. “It is critically important for our national security,” he said. “We need to make sure our infrastructure is up to the task.” He shared several sources of funding that have been earmarked for the task, including a bipartisan federal funding package that will allot $4.1 billion to the state of Maryland for roads and highways. An additional $408 million in funds for the maintenance and replacement of bridges has also been identified, with Sen. Van Hollen and Gov. Larry Hogan earmarking funds. “We’re using every available means that we have in order to assist and be a strong federal partner in getting this done,” said Cardin. “I hope to live to see this bridge be replaced,” said Calvert County Commissioner Earl “Buddy” Hance. “It’s a vital thing between Calvert and St. Mary’s County that we can’t live without.” St. Mary’s County Commissioner and Chairperson of the Tri-County Council Todd Morgan may have summed up everyone’s remarks the best. “The important thing to understand is that everyone has talked about safety, has talked about security, and has talked about infrastructure. At this point in time, it’s time to build the damn bridge.”

Christ Church Celebrates its 350th Year BY MOLLY WEEKS CRUMBLEY

“

uring our anniversary celebration, it is natural to look back on the years of our history. We have inherited a remarkable legacy,” shares the Rev. Christopher M. Garcia, rector of Christ Church. Known as Calvert’s first church, Christ Church was founded in Port Republic in 1672 and is about to celebrate a milestone anniversary: 350 continuous years of worship in Calvert County. “The men, women, and children who have gone before us have worshiped, served, taught, learned, shared, laughed, and cried through good years and lean years, floods and droughts, crop changes, pestilence and pandemics, war and peace,” said Garcia.

DARK CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES WITH EARL GREY TEA SACHETS

Ingredients 12 oz of good quality dark chocolate (we recommend Green & Blacks 85%) 1 tablespoon coconut oil 1 1/2 cups full-fat coconut milk 4 sachets of earl grey tea 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Directions Chop the chocolate into shards by cutting diagonally. Place in a bowl with the coconut oil. In a small sauce pan over high heat bring the coconut milk to a simmer with the earl grey tea bags. Once simmering reduce heat to medium and stir softly being careful not to break the tea bags. If you do break them simply use a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to strain the coconut milk. Once the tea has turned the coconut milk brown (about 5-6 minutes) pour milk over chopped chocolate and coconut oil. Stir until creamy and melted. Stir in the salt. Place a piece of plastic wrap on the top of the chocolate to prevent a film from forming. Allow to come to room temperature. Once it has cooled to room temperature place in the refrigerator for two hours or the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour. When ready to scoop allow the chocolate to come back to room temperature for a few minutes. This will make it easier to scoop. Using a spoon or a melon baller scoop out little balls of chocolate and using your hands to shape them into a ball. Dust with cacao powder. Keep going until you're out of chocolate about 30 truffles later. Store in the refrigerator up to 1 week.

“Loved ones are buried in our church yard. The common thread through it all has been gathering together every Sunday, to worship God, as Jesus makes himself known in word and sacrament, bread and wine, body and blood, and then fed and strengthened for service, going out to serve others in Jesus’s name.” Even during the challenges brought upon the world during the pandemic, Christ Church parishioners continued to pull together as a community. When it was clear that the coronavirus would make gathering indoors for worship inadvisable, the church pivoted and found new ways to stay connected. A “drive-in church” was established on the jousting tournament field, featuring a sound system that could transmit the liturgy over car radios. Garcia says his flock made a point of reaching out to one another, keeping in touch through phone, emails, texts, social media, and Zoom. In fact, says Garcia, “Parishioners so enjoyed outdoor worship that we continued to meet outdoors from time to time until November 2021 and occasionally since then.” Most services have since reverted to indoor, but one service is still broadcast on Zoom each Sunday for those unable to attend. As a sense of normalcy returns to the church, parishioners have a celebration to look forward to Saturday, June 4. “Our Anniversary Festival offers something for everyone,” says Garcia, “and lots of the activities have been designed with children in mind.” In addition to an ever-popular ring jousting exhibition, attendees will be able to tour the church grounds, attend worship service, play outdoor games, learn to dance the traditional Virginia Reel, compete in a cornhole tournament, listen to local music, enjoy kid-friendly comedy and magic, and purchase food and crafts from an array of vendors. One particular highlight will be the History Alive! portrayal of famous Marylander Mistress Margaret Brent. Brent was a 17th century colonist from St. Mary’s County; the first woman in America to own land, the first female lawyer, and a suffragist who was the first on record to demand the right to vote. Award-winning Smithsonian scholar Mary Ann Jung will portray Brent. Guests can hear even more of Maryland’s history on a tour of the cemetery, which will feature first-person interpretations by the church’s youth group who will represent some of the people buried in the historic churchyard. “Although we treasure our history, the ongoing mission of church is more important: Christ Church exists to worship God and share the Good News of Jesus Christ with Calvert County. That is as important and timely today as it was in 1672,” says Garcia. The 350th Anniversary Festival is free and open to the public on June 4 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. A schedule of events and map of the venue are available at christchurchcalvert.org.

Calvert Library Breaks Ground on New Branch BY MOLLY WEEKS CRUMBLEY

“

ibraries are a focal point of every community,” says Calvert County Commissioner Earl “Buddy” Hance. For the towns of North Beach and Chesapeake Beach, a beautiful new focal point is on its way in the form of the brand-new Calvert Library Twin Beaches Branch. After years of work to secure funding and a new location, officials broke ground for a new building May 24 at the North Beach Town Hall. Calvert Library Executive Director Carrie Willson kicked off the remarks, welcoming a large group of attendees and sharing her thoughts about the history and future of the Twin Beaches Branch. For 31 years, the Twin Beaches Branch has been housed in the Captains Quarter’s shopping center in Chesapeake Beach. Though a well-visited and loved location, the needs of the library eventually outgrew the limited physical space available. Jeffrey Lewis, president of the Board of Library Trustees, explained to the gathered crowd, “The Twin Beaches Branch has been bursting at the seams for many, many, years. Thanks to a very creative staff, the community has had access to a very cozy but usable 4,800-square foot facility.” The new facility, he said, will be a 21st century library that will be ADA accessible and nearly quadruple the size at almost 16,000-square feet. The plans for the branch will allow ample space for the collection, public meeting room and study areas, public computers, dedicated areas for children and teens, and a makerspace. “There will even be a break room for staff who have been washing their lunch dishes in the staff bathroom for the past 30 years,” Lewis added. The Twin Beaches Branch has been housed in both North Beach and Chesapeake Beach over the years. The first Twin Beaches library opened in 1981 in North Beach, where it spent ten years before shifting to its current location in Chesapeake Beach. The new building will be located once again in North Beach at the corner of 5th Street and Chesapeake Avenue. “Both towns have been excellent hosts to Calvert Library,” said Willson. “Both towns offered their hospitality for this new facility and it was a very competitive but collegial process with the Board of Library Trustees.” Ultimately, North Beach had an ideal location for the new construction, and the town donated the land parcel and a $250,000 Community Legacy Grant to assist in the design process. The design of the new branch is being led by HBM Architects under the guidance of the Colimore architectural firm. The construction bid was awarded in April to Huntingtown-based Scheibel Construction. As Hance told the attendees, “It’s especially exciting when a good local com-

pany gets the job so that that the money stays local.” Additional funding for the project was secured through matching capital grants and local funding efforts. Willson acknowledged the work of the county government. “I am sincerely grateful for the support of the commissioners. I’ve heard multiple times, especially during this year’s budget process, that each of you believe that government exists to provide service to the community and I thank you for your commitment to making sure that a strong public library system is one of those valued services” she said. “They might not give me every dollar I ask for at budget time, but they consistently understand that the public library is accessible community education and a vital resource for personal growth.” Present at the groundbreaking was Del. Rachel Jones, who is also a member of the Board of Library Trustees. “I know what it looks like to grow up to have access to the resources, to education, to knowledge, to the tools, to the programs that libraries offer, that this library system in particular offers,” she said.

Annapolis Rotary Awards Over $24,000 BY MICHAILA SHAHAN

arlier this month, the Annapolis Rotary club announced the distribution of $14,500 to seven community organizations and $10,000 of grants to local highschool students with notable achievement in academics and community service. The Rotary Club of Annapolis is the “largest and most active service club in Maryland’s state capital” claims their website. The club is composed of business, civic and professional leaders dedicated to fundraising and awarding funds to local charitable organizations that will better the community. Service work is integral to the Rotarians’ mission. Like volunteering to clean up trash between College Creek and Weems Creek, offering college scholarships to local high school students, and hosting large events, like its annual crab

State Librarian Irene M. Padilla agreed, reminding attendees, “I think we can all agree that library facilities are very crucial. That was proven during the pandemic when we couldn’t get into our libraries.” She went on to address the myriad ways in which Calvert County’s library system was able to pivot and continue to provide their customers with access to materials and technology while the buildings closed. Now, all four Calvert Library locations are open for in-person use, as well as the newly added bookmobile that makes stops throughout the county each week. Ariane Swann Odom, a registered member of the Piscataway Conoy tribe provided a blessing on behalf of Chief Jesse Swann, who was unable to attend. “I ask the Creator, bless this new library going into Calvert County today,” she began. “Bring much joy to all the young and old alike. May it not only bring joy to their lives but much knowledge...” Construction is projected to be complete by the winter of 2024.

feast, which raised $35,000 last year despite pivoting to a drive-thru model. The in-person feast returns this August to Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Through the efforts of members, the club has been able to support seven Annapolis-area organizations this year. The organizations selected for the grant money are the Banneker-Douglass Museum, Chesapeake Children’s Museum, Children’s Theatre of Annapolis, the Foundation for Community Betterment, Kunta Kinte Celebrations, Live Water Foundation, and Sail Beyond Cancer. The Foundation for Community Betterment has held a chapter in Annapolis for seven years. Their mission is about helping individuals with “immediate and tangible needs” through fundraising events. Part of a national organization, it boasts around 100 volunteers in total, 20 of which help out in the Annapolis area. With funding, the foundation is able to recognize individual people in the community who have needs but cannot afford to meet them. See ROTARY on next page

“We’ve helped over 400 recipients over 20 years—over $1.8 million in 20 years has gone out,” says Daryl Cooke of Arnold, the foundation’s manager. Recipients, Cooke explains, are people who are “down on their luck.” “We’re helping out a family right now whose 5-year-old daughter has a brain tumor. We’re paying for a month of mortgage so they can focus on radiation treatment,” said Cooke. Cooke says she is “hoping we can get the word out that we’re here” so that members of the foundation can better identify individual needs in the community. The grant money, she adds, “will help us work with other organizations to identify needs. (It) will help us reach more recipients and continue the ripple effect of goodness in our community.”

Yoga Barn Breathes New Life Into Historic Space BY CHELSEA HARRISON

f you’ve ever driven through Severna Park down the Earleigh Heights Connector, you have likely noticed a unique building sitting astride the B&A Trail. At 44 W. Earleigh Heights Road, on a large lot surrounded by suburban communities, there stands a barn with red sides and a burned wood plank face with two wide welcoming barn doors. While the barn used to look like just a misplaced rural structure, local residents have noticed some attractive changes in the last 6 months. The Yoga Barn, a co-op of yoga and wellness instructors, opened in this space in November 2021, and has been breathing new life in the property ever since. Cindy and Doug Shafer purchased the barn and some surrounding property, including the Listman market property across the street from Nelly and Conrad Listman. The Listman market buildings date back to 1929 and housed a general store and butcher shop into the early 2000s. The barn was built in the 1960s and served many functions over the years such as an art studio, storage space for the store, and even antique car storage.

The Shafers have big plans for this property in the heart of Severna Park, says Cindy. “Our dream is to have a place where we’ll have family gatherings, a stage where local musicians can play, a firepit area, hopefully there will be a market over there [in the location of the Listman buildings]. A sense of community is what we’re looking for, a gathering spot for everyone.” Carleen Birnes and Cindy Schafer collaborated on the idea to open a yoga studio in the barn space. Birnes, who has many fitness connections from her involvement in Howl Health and ChesSUPpeake, was approached with the idea of leasing the space for her own businesses. Instead, Birnes had the idea of a co-op structure, in which instructors could share rent costs and be paid directly by clients. Yoga Barn opened with a group of ten instructors, with the idea to try out the co-op model for a few months to see how it would work. The community has embraced Yoga Barn and offerings have been growing ever since. Birnes says the model has been successful because “when people pay you direct, you can set your own prices and have a sustainable living teaching and helping elevate people’s health and wellness.” The system benefits clients, as well, since different styles and modes of yoga are offered by a variety of teachers. Some of the courses offered include Vinyasa Flow, Power Yoga, Slow Flow, Therapeutic Yoga, Dharma Yoga, and

Turn Up Dance Fitness. Yoga Barn hosts wellness events for all ages, including Stress Buster workshops for teens & tweens, a kids yoga series, and events with local musician and storyteller, Frolic the Fox. They also plan to host food trucks on the property in coming months. The Barn is also available to rent for private events, offering a centrally-located, blank canvas space. When I attended a community yoga class with teacher Heather Gwaltney on a Wednesday evening in May, the class was well attended by yogis of all ages and abilities. The white walls inside are adorned with handmade tapestries and art, much of which is for sale from local artisans. Yoga mats and props are available to borrow. Gwaltney was very welcoming, offering each student to draw an intention card before starting class. The pace of the course was solidly intermediate, though modifications were mentioned throughout class to help students increase or decrease the difficulty level depending on their goals. Since I had only attended online yoga classes since the beginning of the pandemic, my Yoga Barn experience reminded me what is so nice about practicing in community with a live teacher: personal feedback, social interaction, getting out of one’s own space (and head), and a sense of communal encouragement and achievement. p No reservations or memberships are required to attend a class: yogabarnsp.com.

ARTS WEEK Getting Things Going

Image: ArtFarm Studios.

UST AS THE WEATHER takes a turn for the better, Annapolis Arts Week kicks off this

weekend with events planned around the city to encourage everyone to get out and experience the incredible talent of local artists. Dozens of events are scheduled to showcase the creativity brimming around the city, and encourage conversations and community. Arts Week is the brainchild of Darin Gilliam, who originally envisioned the week as an opportunity to create connection between the public and the arts community through in-person events, demonstrations, installations, and gatherings. In 2021, Gilliam found her ideal business partner in Alison Harbaugh of ArtFarm Studios, and the two women set to expand the festival through greater marketing and outreach. “We consider ourselves the glue that brings everyone together,” says Harbaugh. “The arts are so spread out over our city, and a lot of people don’t pay attention to what’s going on. We work hard to put a spotlight on the arts and get the public engaged more, light a fire, and get a big energy boost for the arts right at the beginning of the summer.” Last year, the coronavirus pandemic allowed Gilliam and Harbaugh an opportunity to “soft open” their concept, with 2021’s Arts Week offering a more truncated list of events due to closures and restrictions. “We had smaller events and fewer people participating, and indoor events were challenging. But this year, we’re coming at this headfirst, trying to get everyone in town who is related to the arts—performing, fine arts, galleries, etc.—to submit their events and participate in some way.” The outcome of this effort is a calendar full of artistic excitement from creators with local renown to those with international appeal. Many of the cultural mainstays are pulling out installations, art walks, and special exhibits, while takeovers are happening in unsuspecting backyards and corners. Street closures will allow for larger events such as First Sunday Arts Festival and Dinner Under the Stars, while opening nights allow for hobnobbing of the Who’s Who on the Annapolis arts scene. With dozens of events planned throughout the city, Arts Week is set to be the creative firework that sets off a fantastic summer. 10 • CBM BAY WEEKLY • June 2 - June 9, 2022

ne of the hallmarks of Arts Week is Paint Annapolis, the plein air festival that has brought easels to street corners for the last 20 years. Only 30 artists are selected for this year’s group of juried artists, although everyone is welcome to come and participate throughout the week of June 5-10. Paint Annapolis’s kickoff event is Dueling Brushes on Sunday, June 5, a quick draw event where artists are given boundary maps and a time limit of just three hours. Artists arrive at City Dock with a blank canvas and return at noon for judging. The work of creating an entire painting from scratch demonstrates artists’ ability to remove limiting factors of convention and just paint. “We’re hoping to spread art around town,” says Laura Carty, director of exhibitions at the Maryland Federation of Arts (MFA). “We use Paint Annapolis to get the public more involved and bring art to the community. It’s our way of bringing awareness to the creative process, and ultimately showcase the final product.” Public artists will have the ability to show two pieces of art at MFA’s popup gallery June 11-15 at 4 Church Circle, while juried artists will have their work on display at Circle Gallery, located at 18 State Circle, through June 25. For more information, visit https://mdfedart.com/paintannapolis/. At Maryland Hall, special events have been planned for the celebration. On Friday, June 10, kinetic artist Larry Fransen will install his piece Let’s Roll, an acrylic rolling ball sculpture built with engineer Tim Geis. The piece is a unique structure of half-inch steel ball bearings propelled around an acrylic frame with the help of two stepper motors, 17 acrylic gears, 24 magnets, 34 ball bearings, countless fasteners and electronics. The result is a mesmerizing study in chaos theory that invites intrigue at every angle. The rotating wheels on one side of the sculpture add an element of randomness to the design, so that the actions are consistently inconsistent. “What intrigued us about Larry’s exhibit is that it’s hands-on,” says Katie Redmiles-Barron, director of communications at Maryland Hall. “This is the first opportunity for the public to see a piece that’s been worked on at home due

to COVID, and we can now invite patrons to meet him and experience something new and unique.” Fransen got his start not in a plastics factory, but in a woodshop, where he became fascinated with skeleton clocks. “I wanted to show the inside workings of a clock,” he says. “And from there, I started experimenting with bicycle clocks made out of chains, gears, and so on.” When his son suggested he move away from wood as an artistic medium, Fransen started experimenting with acrylics. “When light hits acrylic, the entire reflection of the outside is within it,” he says, from his home studio. “Light bounces around, hits the edges, and the whole thing becomes alive.”

Art on Another Level

ne thing that isn’t immediately obvious about the Annapolis arts community is the amount of work being done to bring art to under-represented communities. In a city with diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, it’s imperative that art finds the viewer where he or she stands, and not the other way around, say organizers. “It’s one thing to have a commercial business,” says Harbaugh, who is also a professional photographer and offers classes through Fearless Girls Photography Camps. “But when it comes to education and preservation, there are a lot of uphill battles. That’s not how it should be.” At Maryland Hall, Redmiles-Barron recognizes their outreach program as having a significant impact on young artists. “We have a new initiative where we bring high school students to East-

port Elementary School once a week to work on projects,” she says. “This gives them the opportunity to provide mentorship, engage them within their communities, and develop their own artistic skills.” A Saturday community class brings in parents as well as students for music lessons and art projects. “A big part of our history, a part of who we are, is taking the art where it needs to be,” she says. “We want to see more diversity and opportunity for people of all socioeconomic backgrounds, and different art interests.” One of Art Week’s most anticipated events is doing exactly this: Jeff Huntington, the mural artist responsible for roughly 30 murals around Annapolis, will begin the installation of a mural of Eva Cassidy, the local singer-songwriter whose early death ended an incredible career. Cassidy has many ties to Annapolis, and her mural on the wall of Stan and Joe’s, between two prominent music venues, is appropriate. Huntington’s Cassidy mural is part of a larger project orchestrated along with his wife, Julia Gibb, both co-founders of the non-profit Future History Now. Future History Now brings together youth and underserved communities to create murals around town, providing an authentic studio art experience and getting new artists involved in creating monumental street art. Huntington and Gibb are now working on what is called the Kids Making History Mural Tour, a walking tour with QR codes installed near each of the murals to provide viewers with a “virtual docent,” a child artist describing the mural and the work involved. Videos provide contextual history for the mural and showcase its creation. Huntington and Gibb have been working together artistically for over a decade, but it was only in 2016, at a time of crisis, when they began to realize

Within Maryland Hall’s galleries, Yumi Hogan and Mina Papatheodorou Valyrakis’s “Dialogue Between Nature and Environment” showcases the female perspective on the natural world from both an Eastern and a Western lens. The exhibition of Maryland’s First Lady’s work is only open through June 24, so don’t sleep on seeing it.

To experience art-in-the-making, Reflex Improv creates a storytelling experience that is one part combustible conversation and one part relevant hilarity. These actors tell the jokes everyone is thinking, but not saying. They’re putting on shows Monday, June 6, and Saturday, June 11, at ArtFarm.

Dinner Under the Stars returns on June 8 with Noche Latina, or Latin Night. Street closures allow restaurants to pull tables out into West Street to enjoy a special form of ambience and allure. Night owls will see Karnival Bounce Crew, the energetic street performers who can turn West Street into Buenos Aires with a hop, step, and a jump. CONTINUED

the direction needed to change. At the time, one of Huntington’s projects came under fire from those concerned with the historic preservation of Annapolis’s colonial façade. One mural, a Mayanthemed scene painted by local artist Jason Liggett, fought for its survival in court but ultimately lost. To celebrate its life, Huntington planned a “mural funeral,” and invited residents to celebrate its life by painting over it. “More kids showed up for that event than we ever would have anticipated,” says Gibb, who worked with the advocacy group Process Preservation Coalition to mitigate the mural’s demise. The couple saw that young artists were the gateway to a vibrant future. “You have to understand that the underbelly of this town holds a wealth of talented artists who span a huge range,” says Huntington. “We provide these

n Eastport, the celebrated art fete Art Between the Creeks is back for its 20th showing over the weekend of June 10-12. Art Between the Creeks is a beloved pop-up experience where local artists transform a public warehouse into a gallery. The Friday night opening reception allows guests to see the artwork and rub elbows with the artists themselves, who are often neighbors and colleagues. It’s a fun night full of funky art and cool people. This year’s event happens at Backyard Boats, located at 222 Severn Avenue. And truly, who’s to say that you even need a gallery to showcase a masterpiece? A 2021 collaboration between the Annapolis Arts District, the Inner West Street Association, the mayor’s office, and the David Hayes Art Foundation brought the work of contemporary artist David Hayes to some of Annapolis’s most frequented public spaces. The David Hayes Outdoor Museum showcases some of the artist’s provocative sculptures outside Annapolis libraries, Maryland Hall, the Banneker-Douglass Museum, the Eastport Democratic Center, and many more places. Hayes was a contemporary sculptural artist whose catalog of work spans six decades and has been exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim. Appealing to the viewer’s imagination, Hayes worked with steel to change shape and texture, arriving at a place that defies a literal interpretation and instead asks the viewer to interpret it. Putting the sculptures along some of Annapolis’s busiest corridors allows fine art to be accessible and intriguing. On Monday, June 6, ArtFarm is hosting the artist’s son, David M. Hayes, in a discussion of the artist’s life and work. The free talk will be at ArtFarm Studios, 111 Chinquapin Round Road. The discussion begins at 4:30 but arrive early to check out ArtFarm’s incredible galleries and gift shop. Whatever your preferred artistic medium, Annapolis Arts Week offers a showcase of all that the excitement happening around the area. Be sure to come out, connect with artists and vendors, and help strengthen this city’s vibrant community one brushstroke at a time.

Clay on the Bay Comes to South County BY SUSAN NOLAN

hile Annapolis revels in its arts week of paint and performance, artists of a different type are setting up in southern Anne Arundel County. “Clay and glass arts in particular require a unique combination of science, creativity and teamwork,” says multi-media artist and SoCo ArtsLab board member Lissa Rosenthal-Yoffe. Of the three, the creativity may be the most obvious. Any art media holds endless opportunities to explore forms, colors, techniques and textures. As for the science, it’s all about learning the gravitational force on the clay on the wheel and how the materials respond to the heat firing. As for the teamwork, Rosenthal-Yoffe explains, “Learning these techniques through teamwork and mentorship benefits artists and their work.” SoCo Arts Lab works to foster all three. The Tracys Landing-based arts nonprofit occupies two levels of a recently renovated 4000-square foot house leased from local businessman Hamilton Chaney. In addition to studios, a gallery and a common room space, the arts center has pottery wheels and kilns in the basement. Currently, 33 artists are members. Eleven of those members use the SoCo Art Lab as their regular studio space. California-native Rosenthal-Yoffe made a name for herself in New York and New Jersey before relocating to Washington, D.C. Her desire to be on the Bay brought her to Deale, where she was excited to discover an active arts community. “I knew I wanted to be involved with SoCo Arts Lab as soon as I found out about it,” she says. In 2020, she joined the board. Jeannie Egan is one of five local artists who came together in 2019 to form the organization. Egan now serves as a board member and a resident artist. “The SoCo Arts Lab started with the five of us just looking for affordable studio space…but once we had this space, we knew it could be something much bigger. A community,” she says. Egan, Rosenthal-Yoffe and the other board members have big plans for SoCo Arts Lab. The building is located on enough acreage to support a sculpture garden, trails, classrooms, and perhaps even performance space. The design work is in place and they are fundrais-

ing for the construction of a woodburning kiln to be built in May 2023. “We see this as a potential arts destination that could have a real impact regionally. A cultural hub. We like to call the Arts Lab our ‘little dream Marfa on the East Coast,’” Egan says, referring to the famed arts community in Marfa, Texas. The organization has been offering classes since its inception. The pandemic created challenges that the group was able to overcome via technology and virtual learning. Now, however, they are eager for more in-person programing. Clay on the Bay, their largest initiative to date, is set to launch with a day-long open-house on Saturday, June 18. The event will feature exhibitions and hands-on demonstrations led by some of the area’s most acclaimed artists. Participants will have the opportunity to decorate a hand-made clay cup with special fast fire glazes and possibly take their work home that same day. “There will be a special Raku firing with Ray Bogle who is a member and a Raku expert. He will be running the kiln that day,” Rosenthal-Yoffe states. Following the launch, SoCo Arts Lab will host a series of “Try It” classes every Tuesday through July 12. These two-hour sessions focus on the potter’s wheel and will give students of all levels the experience of centering, throwing, trimming and surface decorating. Finished work will be fired and made available for pick up after the last class. More extensive ceramics classes will be held on Thursdays. Memberships to Clay on the Bay are also available. Open to anyone who can navigate a clay studio independently, memberships allow potters unlimited, all-hours access to the studio space and equipment for $50 per month. Additionally, ClayMates: The Invitational Exhibition of Maryland Clay Artist will be on display with pieces available for purchase through June. Founding member Elizabeth Kendall, a renowned ceramics artist, is curating the exhibit. “Beth is the driving force behind the exhibit and she is bringing in talent from all over the region,” says Rosenthal-Yoffe. p

Annapolis Summer Garden Theater’s Rock of Ages

fter a 33-month pandemic-induced hiatus, Annapolis Summer Garden Theater is back—and opened their 2022 season with Rock of Ages, the Broadway jukebox musical featuring the music of 1980s classic rock bands like Journey, Styx, Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister and more. Set in a fictional bar called the Bourbon Room on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip, Rock of Ages takes us back to a time when big haired groupies and drunken musicians engaged in sex, drugs, rockn-roll—and an occasional poop joke— most nights of the week. The story centers around small-town girl Sherrie (Holly Blondheim) and would-be rocker Drew (Sean Garcia). Upon arriving in Hollywood to pursue her dream of stardom, Sherrie is mugged. Drew rescues her and finds her a job as a waitress at the Bourbon Room where he cleans toilets, empties ashtrays, and sweeps floors. They are drawn to each other from the start, but notorious bad-boy rock star Stacee Jaxx comes between them. Meanwhile German businessmen

Hertz Klinemann and his son Franz (DJ Wojciehowski and Matthew Walter) plot to buy Sunset Strip, tear down the Bourbon Room and replace it with a shopping mall. First, however, they will have to get past community activist Regina Koontz (Caitlyn Ruth McClellen). Will Sherrie and Drew find fame, fortune, and love, or will they take the midnight train to anywhere? Can protestors defeat foreign interests to save a city built on rock and roll? The mayor is bribed. Picketers rally. Strippers gyrate—all to a familiar score of high-voltage rock. The spandex, fishnets, and Aqua Net are pure ‘80s, but the nod to Pride Month gives this production an edgy, modern feel. Under the direction of Shane Jensen, ASGT newcomers Blondheim and Garcia deliver strong vocal performances and lead the ensemble cast in an energetic show filled with nostalgia, suspense, and laughs. Seasoned Summer Garden performers McClellen and Walter are paired perfectly in some

Cameron Walker gives a lively, powerhouse performance as lovable Lonnie, the narrator and assistant club manager. Kaya Harrison shines as strip-club owner Justice “Mama” Charlier. On Sunday night, the role of cocky rock star and trouble-maker Stacee Jaxx was played by understudy DJ Wojciehowski who pulled double duty starring as both Jaxx and Hertz. A master of quick costume changes, he is outstanding in both roles. Risqué costumes, innovative set design and an on-stage rock band add to the excitement, making this production a must-see for theatergoers eager to stroll down memory lane with an

air guitar in hand. Run time is about 2 hours including a 15-minute intermission. ASGT has dedicated this season to the memory of longtime vice-president Sharon Cimaglia who died unexpectedly in November 2019. Cimaglia was active in choosing the productions for the 2022 season and her memory lives on through her many theater family and friends. Take note: All Summer Garden Theater ticket sales are now online and the theater no longer offers a waiting list/ standby list at sold-out performances p Rock of Ages, 8:30pm ThFSaSu, through June 18, Annapolis Summer Garden Theater, $27, RSVP: summergarden.com.

The Bob’s Burgers Movie Loveable animated TV family makes big screen debut in cute caper EXCLUSIVELY IN THEATERS

espite working himself to the bone, Bob Belcher’s (H. Jon Benjamin: Central Park) restaurant is always one mishap away from folding. So, when the bank refuses to grant him a loan extension, Bob panics. He’ll have to have the best week of his life to make enough money to pay the bank. Though Bob’s worried, his wife Linda (John Roberts) remains optimistic, assuring Bob that they can make plenty of money during the first week of summer. But before Linda can finish reassuring Bob, a giant sinkhole opens in front of the restaurant. Though the sinkhole is a source of existential dread for Bob, his children Tina (Dan Mintz), Louise (Kristen Schaal), and Gene (Eugene Mirman), are fascinated by it. Louise, who’s been fretting over whether or not she seems “babyish” to her peers, decides the sinkhole will prove her mettle. She has her siblings film her descent into the pit…and promptly unearths a body. Now the sinkhole can’t be filled in because it’s the scene of a murder. As Bob’s ulcers grow, his family bands together to solve the murder and save the restaurant. The first foray onto the big screen for the beloved Fox cartoon, The

H. Jon Benjamin and John Roberts in The Bob’s Burgers Movie. Photo: 20th Century Studios. Bob’s Burgers Movie isn’t for the uninitiated. This movie is essentially three episodes of the show stitched together for a feature length. All of the gentle humor, quirk, and musical numbers are there, but the film isn’t interested in introducing you to the established characters or catching you up on the personality quirks of the family. It assumes you have a base level of knowledge—without it some of the jokes may seem odd or not land at all. Your reviewer falls into the casual viewer category. I’ve seen the show enough to have the gist, though I’ve never watched a full season. My very basic knowledge didn’t hamper the fun for me as I laughed at the ridiculous antics of Louise, cringed at Tina’s perpetual awkwardness, and did my best not to hum along with the songs. However, if you’re a regular watcher of Bob’s Burgers, as Mr. Moviegoer is, you will get deeper enjoyment from the movie. There are plenty of references to older episodes and characters. Also there are several sight gags that sailed right over my head that my superfan companion caught. Overall, the film holds together well enough for an occasional viewer, but is much more rewarding for those that marathon-watch the seasons on Hulu. The best part of The Bob’s Burgers Movie, however, wasn’t a reference to an episode that aired three years ago, or a daring musical number. As always, the true strength of Bob’s Burgers lies in the love the family unit has for each other. Each member of the Belcher family is a weirdo in their own specific way, and in turn, each member of the Belcher family is accepted

by their family and loved for being a weirdo. It’s oddly touching for a show that features a character who writes erotic zombie fan fiction. In moments of true struggle, the Belchers always find a way to come through for each other. Even the perpetually morose Bob manages to uplift his family when he’s needed. It’s that bond, and the knowledge that these people love each other deeply that elevates this film

above typical quirky cartoons. If you’re already a fan of the show, this movie is well worth the ticket. If you’re new to the Bob’s Burgers world, I’d recommend starting with the TV show before venturing to the big screen. The Bob’s Burgers Movie is like a burger from your favorite fast food place—not really nutritious, but it hits the spot just the same. Good Animation * PG-13 * 102 mins.

Community Science in Chesapeake Country

t does not take a science degree to be curious or concerned about the natural world that surrounds you. Citizen science is the practice of public participation and collaboration in scientific research to increase scientific knowledge. Some of the most interesting discoveries were made by a citizen scientist. For example, STEVE (strong thermal emission velocity enhancement), a mysterious blue light in thin ribbons was found at the edge of the Arctic Circle by amateur skywatchers. An unstable star, Tabby’s Star, was found by citizen scientists as part of the Planet Hunters Project. It likely is a star that swallowed a planet. A project looking for comets called SOHO has found more than 3,400 comets, as of late 2017, most of them by amateurs accessing SOHO real-time data via the Internet. Currently, the U.S. government lists 493 projects that are currently listed at CitizenScience.gov. It is a very interesting site to look through. I have been involved with a very large citizen science project: eBird. EBird is a site anyone can join and list birds they have seen on a particular day or trip. It has revealed new migratory paths, shown the effects of global warming on bird ranges and continues to find new information on a daily basis. I also participate in Clean Swell by Ocean Conservancy. As I pick up trash in

a marsh or beach, I can document what type of trash it is. I began using Clean Swell while doing a spring marsh cleanup at Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary. Recently, I was notified about a local citizen science project that involves a keystone species for the Chesapeake Bay.

We’ve had more than average rainfall, which has made everything flourish in the garden. If you plan to plant plants or seeds do so just before a rain event, they get established so much easier.

Determinate types grow to certain heights and grow as a bush, whereas indeterminates grow as a long trailing vine and get very tall. Determinates grow well in a tomato cage and indeterminates need much more support. We use cattle fencing, which has 6-inch square openings, supported with posts on either end. The tomatoes are then woven through the

project has shown us many interesting, novel aspects of Chesapeake horseshoe crab biology.” Christine Goldman, administrative assistant to the dean, says the program is looking for volunteer citizen scientists from the community. “At AACC, our lab has developed a horseshoe crab fencing. Keeping them off the ground helps to prevent fungal diseases. Beans: Your beans can be planted now also. There are bush beans and pole beans and both are very easy to grow from seed. Bush beans come in green, yellow and purple, and yield their harvest within a few weeks. If you grow pole beans, you’ll have a steady supply throughout the season. Cucumbers: Cucumbers are vigorous growers and sprawl on the ground. They are better managed when they are trained to grow upward. I use plastic fencing with 3-inch squares held by metal poles on either end of the row. Squash: Squash of all types can be put in now. Summer squash such as zucchini or yellow crooknecks are very easy to grow. Most of them are bush types, which are good for limited space areas. Keep up with harvesting the

counting method that requires only a smartphone. Our focus until now has been Cove Point beach in southern Calvert County where we have been surveying horseshoe crab spawning since 2004. Although our work continues at Cove Point, we hope to enlist volunteers from AACC or the larger community to survey additional beaches. In this way we can build a more complete picture of this phenomenon.” The survey consists of walking a single pass along the beach, recording each spawning female and associated males. These surveys are conducted at or just before high tide in late May, June, and early July. Surveys are conducted during the nighttime high tide as these times typically have far greater numbers of spawning females. Since there is some daytime spawning, a daytime survey is also welcome. As a citizen scientist, you would simply choose a survey beach and time(s) you would like to visit. Before you go, download the free “Anecdata” app. Once you have entered your email address, you can search for the project. Your work would consist of simply walking the beach within an hour of high tide and entering observations and pictures into the app. The program automatically submits username, time, date, and GPS coordinates. At the end of the summer, all participants will receive a report showing the results of the year’s work. Once the database is large enough, the work will be submitted as a citizen scientist publication. p If you’d like to help survey horseshoe crabs, contact Goldman by phone (410-777-2607) or email cmgoldman@aacc.edu.

squash because they can become too large very quickly. Winter squash have firm flesh and hard skin. There are many different types. The dark green skinned, acorn and buttercup types are popular for smaller families. Melons: Cantaloupes and watermelon can all be planted now. They really need warm soil to grow. Growing them in black landscape fabric helps to grow them. Cut circles in the fabric and plant your seeds. It’s good to use row covers until they start to flower and then remove the covers when they flower so that pollinators can do their work. Corn: Corn can also be safely planted. Corn needs a very fertile soil and irrigation in dry weather. Remember to plant it in blocks of three or four rows. p Have a gardening question? Email editor@bayweekly.com

Bigger Fish May Need Bigger Tackle

y rod tip twitched, then it surged. Watching carefully, I waited as the fish pulled the rod down into a deeper and deeper curve. In this age of circle hooks it’s imperative that the fish hooks itself—any effort on my part has inevitably improved only the fish’s fortune. Finally, convinced by the wailing drag from a good, solid hook set, I picked up the stick, snugged down the star drag

even more and leaned into the strike. It made little difference to the fish as it continued to pull out line at will. I was anchored just outside of the mouth of the Severn in 35 feet of water and this was the second big fish of the morning. The first was a 34-inch striper my buddy had pulled in and this one seemed to be decidedly better than that. Running down current and with

50 yards of line already out over its shoulder, it looked like it just might be a lengthy battle for me. Using a 6.5-foot, heavy action bait casting outfit with a tricked-out Abu 5500 spooled with 20-pound Pline, I realized I might just be at the limit of my tackle. Adding any more stress to the rod or the reel, just might end up with a disaster. I could hear the creaking and popping of graphite fibers as the rod blank was bending into the corks, the line was stretched so tight it was beginning to hum. Luckily there is little in that stretch of river to foul so I had no problem with backing off on the drag and letting the brute run. Soon I actually believe the fish forgot about being hooked and had started to wander about looking for something to eat when I was finally able to recover some line. I did so cautiously and continuously. Then, having snugged down my drag with about half my line retrieved, I reasserted the rod pressure and renewed serious battle. It took the critter awhile before it detected the change in circumstances and took back everything I had regained. This went on, back and forth, for long minutes until the creature finally ran out of gas (or willpower) and let itself be led to the boat. It took the two of us on the net to get the big blue cat over the gunnel. My guess was that the thug was a bit over 30 pounds and slowly something else began to tug at my awareness. A 30-pounder is not a big blue cat. Just down Virginia way, one of over 140-

plus pounds has been boated, beating another of 140 pounds and with a number of blues already on the books from the James River at over 100 pounds. The current Bay catfish species, blue, channel, flatheads and whites, have been showing up in larger and larger numbers throughout the Bay for at least the last five years and luckily our rockfish tackle has been up to the task of handling them. But for how long? When 30-pounders are increasingly common, light tackle will soon no longer handle the bigger beasts so it may be time to begin upgrading to at least one or two heavier setups for extra-large hooks, baits and triple digit swimmers. Most anglers currently have stouter rockfish gear but almost all of it is designed specifically for trolling. While you can fish bait (almost the sole tactic for catfishing) with conventional tackle, it is not designed for casting and will prove frustrating to put into efficient use either from boats or the shore. Catfish tackle targeting the heavier fish (two of our four species can exceed well over 60 pounds) is generally composed of 6.5- to 8-foot heavy action casting and spin rods with reels designed for 30- to 60-pound line in 200- to 300-yard capacities and correspondingly heavy drags. I have high hopes that when DNR finally gets the desired rockfish populations back their numbers will push the catfish census back into a more desirable balance but in the meantime, I’m hoping to tangle with a few of these giants. And I’ll need way stouter tackle to make that possible. p

Rob and Grace Jones wanted to replace a built-in toilet paper holder in their home in Crystal Lake, Illinois, on April 16, which required them to cut into the wall of their bathroom, NBC New York reported. That’s when they came across a most unusual find: a towel containing two McDonald’s hamburger wrappers and a full order of french fries inside. Vintage 1959. “We were expecting the worst,” Grace said. “I was shielding my kids in case there was any dried blood.” More like dried ketchup. “Not a cold case, just some cold fries,” she said. “They were very well preserved.” Must not be many mice in Crystal Lake.

Questionable Judgment An American family returning to the United States from a trip to Israel on April 28 set off a chaotic bomb scare at Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv when they tried to take an unexploded artillery shell through a security check, the BBC reported. They had found the shell in the Golan Heights and picked it up as a souvenir; at the airport, a family member pulled it from a backpack and asked if it could be put in a suitcase. The security official called for her immediate area to be cleared, but someone misheard her, and panic ensued. The family members were later questioned and allowed to board their flight.

That’s One Way To Do It As his United Airlines flight taxied to its gate at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport on May 5, one passenger apparently couldn’t wait to deplane, WLS-TV reported. So he opened the emergency exit and walked onto the wing, then slid down the wing and onto the runway. The ground crew stopped the man, and he was turned over to law enforcement officers.

Seeing Double ... and More The Mansfield Independent School District in Texas will celebrate an unusual graduation this year, feting 35 pairs of twins in its senior class, along with one set of triplets. Anthony and Angela Morka are among the twins who will graduate at the end of May, CBS News reported. “Knowing that it’s almost over is exciting, but it’s also kind of sad,” Angela said. “It will definitely be a change because we’re not going to be together like we’ve always been,” Anthony added. The district held a special event for the multiples on April 29 at Vernon Newsom Stadium.

Bright Ideas • Five students at Ponte Vedra High School in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, have been accused in a “senior prank” in which a probable sandbar shark (prohibited from recreational and

20 • CBM BAY WEEKLY • June 2 - June 9, 2022

commercial harvest in Florida state waters, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission) was hoisted over a staircase at the school on May 5, News4Jax reported. “I was going to first period, and there was this massive shark hanging from the ceiling, and it smelled really bad,” said Cooper Gottfried, a sophomore at the school. The shark is the school’s mascot. The responsible parties may face charges of trespassing, wildlife violations and criminal mischief. • An unnamed man in Detroit was arrested in late April for illegally possessing guns, but the federal agents who arrived at his home with a search warrant were more interested in how he made a living: He sold marijuana from a vending machine attached to his house, clearing $2,000 a day, he told them. The Associated Press reported that agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives made purchases from the machine to collect evidence before the bust. The man was released on bond.

‘Scuse Me As Pinellas County (Florida) Sheriff ’s Deputy Todd Brien drove away from St. Pete Beach to check on a 911 hang-up call on May 4, he inadvertently drove over Robin Diffenderfer, a 23-year-old woman sunbathing on her back in the sand, ClickOrlando.com reported. He struck her right side and mid- to upper back area. She was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, and an investigation is ongoing.

Recent Alarming Headline During a funeral in Lambayeque, Peru, on April 26, pallbearers were stunned to hear knocking coming from within the coffin of Rosa Isabel Cespedes Callaca as they carried it, Metro News reported. They lowered the box to the ground and opened the lid to find that Callaca was weak, but alive, following a serious car accident. Cemetery caretaker Juan Segundo Cajo said that Callaca “opened her eyes and was sweating.” She was rushed to a hospital, where she was shown to have faint signs of life, but sadly, she expired a few hours later. Her family members suspect she may have been in a coma following the accident, rather than deceased. Police are now investigating the incident.

Florida OG Even the retirees are getting crazy in the Sunshine State. On April 24, as Herbert Merritt, 64, walked his dog near the Kings Point golf course in Delray Beach, Robert Levine, 74, drove up in his golf cart and confronted him about walking too close to the course. Next, the victim said, Levine pulled out a handgun and started shooting as Merritt ran away. CBS12-TV reported

that Merritt was shot in the ankle, causing him to fall, but Levine couldn’t leave it there; he kicked Merritt in the head, then retrieved a golf club from his cart and hit him with it several times. Levine is being held on attempted first-degree murder charges along with aggravated battery and discharging a firearm in public.

Welcome Home! After a trip to Sacramento, Gary and Patti Reitemeyer returned to their home in Redding, California, on April 22 to a most unwelcome surprise: hundreds of swallows that had apparently entered their home through the chimney, KRCR-TV reported. A neighbor had noticed a few birds earlier when he stopped by to feed the cat, but the numbers had increased dramatically by the time the couple got home. “We open the door and it’s like an Alfred Hitchcock movie,” Gary said. “It was crazy. We were ducking and dodging.” They called a restoration company to help clean the house, as it was uninhabitable. “All of the furniture is gone, all of the carpet is gone, the blinds are gone,” Gary said. Sadly, their homeowner’s insurance won’t cover the damage from the bizarre incident.

Don’t Make Me Dance Police who arrested Amy Ann Harrington, 38, after she rear-ended a car on April 28 in Madeira Beach, Florida, suspected she was driving under the influence, so they attempted to do field sobriety tests with her, The Smoking Gun reported. They asked her to do a one-leg stand and walk and turn, but instead, Harrington broke into “multiple ballet and Irish folk dance moves,” according to the arrest report. Harrington also refused to take a breath test; she was charged with DUI and booked into the county jail.

Creme de la Weird Harry Matadeen, 34, from Hampshire, England, has a wellness tip to share with the world: He drinks his own urine, and what’s more, he rubs it on his face. Metro News reported that Matadeen claims his habit, begun in 2016, keeps him looking young and has cured his depression. “I felt a new sense of peace, calm and determination,” he said of his 200ml-per-day dose. The skin therapy keeps his face “young, soft and glowing.” Matadeen calls urine an “acquired taste,” but says that “fresh urine is never as bad as you imagine— it is neutral-smelling and not a bad taste unless you are really toxic.” His family doesn’t approve, and his sister p has ceased talking to him.

We normally think of this saying as someone having a complaint or worse, to the point they disintegrate the blade (topic) with excessive over-grinding (re-hashing), but this isn’t how it originated. Ben Franklin wrote about it in an article called, ‘Too much for your whistle,’ saying he was approached by someone who asked how to sharpen an ax blade. Franklin, being the excellent teacher, showed him how to do it, working till it was perfect and he was exhausted. The fellow took his ax, chided Franklin for being so gullible and left. Incensed, Franklin then had an ax to grind, and something to write about.
