Ultra marathon swimmer Katie Pumphrey is an accomplished athlete. She swam the English Channel twice, circumnavigated Manhattan and completed the DC Marathon Swim. And in June, she added to her impressive accomplishments in local waters. Pumphrey swam the 24-miles from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge into Baltimore's Inner Harbor, a route no one else has completed before. She says her love for Baltimore energized her every stroke through the Patapsco River's waters. “I love this city so much,” Pumphrey told Baltimore Banner. “Baltimore should be proud of our city. I want more people to talk about how awesome it is. So, if my swim helps to highlight everything that the city is and has been and can be — I'm just honored.” Pumphrey joins Midday to talk about her momentous journey, and what it means to her to open water swim in her city's own backyard.

In 1978, along the shoreline of the Potomac River in Westmoreland County, Virginia, people began to see…something…out in the water. Whatever it was, it seemed snakelike. But then all such sightings ended–until, over a period of years in the early 1980s, sightings proliferated around Kent Island, situated in the very middle of the Chesapeake, the eastern end of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The “monster” was soon named “Chessie”, and perhaps because of the cute name was characterized as being a friendly monster; and while no biological traces of it were ever discovered, “Chessie” became an icon of the environmental movement to save the bay.  But what was the context for Chessie's sightings?  What might suburbanization and taking recreation as seriously as labor have to do with seeing monsters in the water? And why did so many (including, as best as I can remember, myself) need to believe that Chessie was real?  With me to discuss Chessie, and her life and times is Eric Cheezum, an independent historian, a resident of Maryland's eastern shore, and the author of Chessie: A Cultural History of the Chesapeake Bay Sea Monster, which is–not surprisingly–the subject of our conversation today.

pWotD Episode 2520: Francis Scott Key Bridge (Baltimore) Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.With 1,446,189 views on Tuesday, 26 March 2024 our article of the day is Francis Scott Key Bridge (Baltimore).The Francis Scott Key Bridge was a steel arch continuous through truss bridge spanning the lower Patapsco River and outer Baltimore Harbor / Port carrying Maryland Route 695 (the Baltimore Beltway) between Hawkins Point, a neighborhood of Baltimore, and Dundalk in Maryland, United States. The main spans of the bridge were destroyed on March 26, 2024, when a container ship, the MV Dali, crashed into one of its support pillars. The crossing between Baltimore City and Baltimore County also passed through a small portion of Anne Arundel County. It was first known as the Outer Harbor Crossing until 1976, when it was renamed while still under construction. It has also been known as Key Bridge or Beltway Bridge. The main span of 1,200 feet (366 m) was the third longest span of any continuous truss in the world, and the total length was 8,636 feet (2,632 m) long. It was the second-longest bridge in the Baltimore metropolitan area, after the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.The bridge was opened on March 23, 1977, named for amateur poet Francis Scott Key (1779–1843), the author of the lyrics to the American national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner". The Key Bridge was a toll facility operated by the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA). The bridge was the outermost of three toll crossings of Baltimore's Harbor, two tunnels and one bridge. The bridge carried an estimated 11.5 million vehicles annually. It was a designated hazardous materials truck route, as HAZMATs were prohibited in the Baltimore Harbor and Fort McHenry tunnels. Once completed, the bridge structure and its approaches became the final links in Interstate 695, the "Baltimore Beltway", completing a two-decade-long project. Despite being signed as part of I-695, the bridge was officially considered part of the state highway system and designated Maryland Route 695.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 06:13 UTC on Wednesday, 27 March 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Francis Scott Key Bridge (Baltimore) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Salli Neural.

But first, Micah and I answer Listener Lu's question about what I ask all the flight crews I fly with. Then we talked with Eric the Mapmaker about a correction from episode 58 and The Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel. After we make our corrections, we talk with Eric about his experiences on French Bee... an airline I've never flown on. And honestly, it was fun getting his perspective on his flight to France.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie#146Anne MauroCollegiate Shotgun Coach, University of Maryland   At SHOT Show 2022, Cheryl Todd (RSWC #060) messaged me and said I need to have Anne Mauro on the stagecoach. After some group texts and making plans during a vacation week, I hit the road for Maryland.  Anne is a shotgun coach at the University of Maryland, where she runs a top notch program that she grew from the bottom up. We met at The Point at Pintail in Queenstown, MD, where she started her shotgunning path, not knowing where it would lead her.    Anne started shotgun shooting at her husband's suggestion and started Pintail Point renting a shotgun to use. Her instructor, Ben Wise, made it fun and enjoyable for her so she kept going.  Eventually, the rental guns were up for sale and she bought the one she was renting.  When she used it, she had to take off the recoil pad. After she bought the gun, she headed up to Maine to have a custom stock made to her specifications, which led to helping manufacturers design stocks for women. Let's face it, the ‘pink it and shrink it' didn't really work for new female shooters. She's designed shotguns for Blaser including the F16 Intuition design.    Anne found herself offering to teach a Lady's Clinic at the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio, TX. She had some folks that doubted her, but she proved them wrong in the first year, filling several clinics. From there, her clinics were always filled with ladies wanting to improve their skills. Eventually, the ladies got to shoot at the Nationals' stadium where all the big dogs want to shoot! One of the most rewarding moments is when a lady who already knew how to shoot well came to the clinic and Anne asked her why she was her, she said it was just to learn from Anne. The great thing about Anne as a coach is that she realized that women needed some help with her focus, not her shooting.    The University of Maryland asked if she would work with their informal trap and skeet clubs which she did and she introduced sporting clays as well. The very first year, they won their first regional championship. They've won over 80 other awards over the years with everyone from beginners to experienced shooters who need some fine tuning. When she started, it was called the Shotgun Sports Team, but eventually they changed the name to the U of M Clay Target Team. She knew that this wasn't a battle the club would win, but it paid off a few years later with some funding from the university for specialty shooting vests.  She's also got some stories about how the team got sponsored by Beretta.    There's some great tips about coaching, shotgunning and dominant eye exercises she shares with us, we talk about practicing, the time commitment, and much more. And she's got a great story about Ted Nugent, too!   Favorite quotes: “My shooting instructor at the time, Ben Wise,a great individual, kept me safe and made it fun even though I was black and blue.” “They just ‘I can't thank you enough because I've got a great sport that I enjoy with my family.'” “I'm going to take this team and I'm going to make something of them.” “You have this imaginary bag on your side here, you get these little pieces of golden nuggets you put in that bag, you just kind of store them in there and over time you'll learn when to pull those pieces out.” “You had to be able to prove yourself, not only in what you do knowledge-wise, but being able to shoot, all of it.”   Timestamp 00:00 Intro 01:25 Anne Mauro 04:14 Texted at SHOT 05:08 Lessons with Ben Wise 12:16 Designing shotguns & traveling  13:54 Lady's clinic surprise 17:17 Nationals' stadium 19:39 Amazing moment 20:36 Chesapeake Bay Bridge 22:12 “Fun that can be had” 24:35 University of Maryland 31:40 Coaching  34:13 Impostor syndrome 36:32 Commitment 39:58 Eye dominance 42:54 Coaching tips 44:55 Beretta sponsorship 51:09 U of M support 54:45 Book idea 59:54 Uncle Ted story 1:02:18 Wrap Up   University of Maryland Clay Target Team on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/umdclaytargetteam/   University of Maryland Clay Target Team on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/UMDtrapandskeet/   The Point at Pintail Sporting Clays  https://pointatpintail.com/   Blaser F16 Intuition Shotgun https://www.blaser.de/us/products/firearms/shotgun-f16/f16-sporting/f16-sporting-intuition/   Diva WOW https://divawow.org/   Second Amendment Foundation http://saf.org/   Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms https://www.ccrkba.org/     Please support the Riding Shotgun With Charlie sponsors and supporters.    Buy RSWC & GunGram shirts & hoodies, stickers & patches, and mugs at the store! http://ridingshotgunwithcharlie.com/rswc-shop/   Keyhole Holsters  Veteran Owned, American Made http://www.keyholeholsters.com/   Dennis McCurdy Author, Speaker, Firewalker http://www.find-away.com/   Self Defense Radio Network http://sdrn.us/  

It's the Midday Newswrap. Today, we're going to focus on local stories with three members of WYPR's award-winning news team. John Lee covers Baltimore County for WYPR, and won a 2020 Chesapeake AP Broadcasters Association Award for his series of reports on COVID-19's impact on the Baltimore County Schools. He joins Tom today on our digital line to discuss the story he broke last week about a devastating auditor's report on the Baltimore County School system that described the school board as dysfunctional, the central office as bloated, and found systemic problems of low morale and poor communications. Rachel Baye, WYPR'S Statehouse and Maryland politics correspondent, whose reporting on kids in the Maryland foster care system won her a prestigious 2021 National Edward R. Murrow award, joins Tom on our digital line to discuss her recent coverage of the Columbia hotel that laid off its employees last year because of the pandemic and took $2.5 million in federal PPP loans this year, but has so far failed to rehire or compensate its laid-off workers. Rachel also describes the ongoing battles over mask mandates in the state's public schools, and the latest legislative efforts to legalize recreational marijuana in Maryland. Joel McCord has been WYPR's News Director since 2012, and also covers the Chesapeake Bay region and various counties throughout the state. In 2019, Joel won a Chesapeake AP Broadcasters Association Award for his moving commentary on the mass shooting that killed five staffers at the Capital Gazette newspaper, in his home town of Annapolis. Today he joins Tom on Zoom to discuss his recent reporting of improved prospects for a proposed Chesapeake Bay Bridge replacement, following signs of a compromise from a long-time critic of the plan, Anne Arundel County Supervisor Steuart Pittman. And Joel recaps his coverage of the Talbot County Council's vote on September 16 to remove the Talbot Boys Confederate monument from the courthouse lawn in Easton.

If you're headed down the ocean this weekend, as the saying goes, it's almost a sure bet that depending on what time you leave to head east over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to Kent Island, you will spend part of the time during your trip snarled in traffic. And if you live on the Eastern or Western Shore, your commute or your drive doing errands will be slowed down too. The traffic that tangles shore roadways is not just a matter of inconvenience. For firefighters, police officers and medical personnel it can sometimes be, literally, a matter of life and death. The first span of the Bay Bridge was built in 1952. 20 years later, a second span was built from Annapolis to Kent Island to relieve congestion. Nearly 50 years later, is it time for a third span? If so, where? Up north in Harford County? Should it connect Aberdeen and Cecilton? Or in the South in St. Mary's County, connecting Lexington Park and Princess Anne? Or, at any number of points in between? A new study by the Maryland Transportation Authority that considered these options has created controversy.The report was five years in the making and it cost $5 million dollars. It outlines options that include building another span next to the first two, putting a bridge somewhere else, or building nothing at all. Today on Midday, a conversation about the bridges' impact on traffic on both sides of the Chesapeake Bay. Tom's first guest is Queen Anne's County Commissioner Jim Moran.He joins us by phone. Later in the program, Tom speaks with Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman.He joins us on Zoom. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I remember when I was 16, my parents bought me a Ford Mustang. I had a part-time job and a little money in my savings account; I was living the life. My mother said something that I didn't like one night and that was the last straw! I had enough of her, so I decided that I was going to run away. As I look back, I marvel at the level of influence I had even at that age; because I managed to convince my older brother and cousin to push my car out of the driveway and down the street so that my parents wouldn't hear me start it up that night. I got in the car and made my boyfriend go with me. We were headed to New Jersey (at least we thought we were). My plan was to go live with my older cousin. There was one issue: I had only been driving for a short while and I was terrified to drive across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, especially at night. So, my cousin convinced me to stay at a hotel for the night and then, if I was still determined to leave in the morning, I could try to tackle that bridge during daylight. Early the next morning, my boyfriend called his house and my mother had already begun terrorizing everyone trying to find us. She threatened my boyfriend's family, saying that she was going to have him arrested. She was relentless in her pursuit to find her baby (ME). I was afraid at this point, because I knew that I would feel her wrath if I went home. Eventually, I gave in and spoke to her on the phone. Immediately, I could hear the fear and hurt in her voice. She cried and pleaded with me to just come home. My cousin got on the phone and yelled at me for being so selfish and spoiled and inconsiderate. I went home and my mother just held me, she hugged me, she kissed me, she cried, she begged me to never scare her like that again.This story reminds me so much of God and His love for us. He does everything to help us fulfill our purpose and destiny. We do so many things to hurt Him. We do things that we know are wrong. We have the audacity to get upset when He chastises us; we know it's for our good, but it doesn't feel good. We don't like it, so we run. It's time to Stop Running.For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. ~Hebrews 12:6And what about the people in our lives who, according to their ability, genuinely love and care for us? What about when they say or do something we don't like and we decide we want out? We become distant. We stop talking or texting. We, all of a sudden, become too busy and have no time for them. Thankfully, when we come to our senses and realize how immature and petty we are, they are right there waiting with open arms. It's time to Stop Running. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. ~Proverbs 27:6I share this because I know what it's like to take for granted those who love us, then to look up one day and they are no longer here. Let's Stop Running! Let's express our gratitude for every person who is a blessing in our lives, while they are still here.Remember, If God said it, then That Settles It. 

We left Assateague and stayed at a Harvest Host in Melfa Virginia. We then went south to the Outer Banks (OBX) in North Carolina, driving over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. While in OBX we visited Kitty Hawk, drove on a beach and ate some fantastic tuna. We stopped at the Jarvisburg Colored School. Then off to Burgaw.

The American Discovery Trail's approach through Maryland and Washington DC tells a history of American transportation. After following minor roads and--by necessity--taking a car over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, the route leads a traveler past Annapolis's naval base, Bowie's rail hub, College Park's airport (the oldest continuously operating one in the world), and the C&O Canal. And that's certainly not the extent of the history, in a state that was marked by early religious persecution, caught in the middle of the Civil War, and home to a capitol that reshaped its priorities. This episode features interviews with the ADT State Coordinators for Maryland and Washington DC, Peter Schoettle and Donna Loop respectively, along with Alexander Lothstein, the School Programs Manager for the Maryland Historical Society. Beyond DC, Donna also describes her experience as a part of the ADT's trail-blazing four-person FAT team, along with Brian Stark, Stacy Leach Campbell, and Don Dickinson.

Forget a new bridge. There are conservations pushing for high-speed ferries, buses and even trains as alternatives to a new Chesapeake Bay Bridge. I talked with Jay Falstad from the Queen Anne’s Conservation Association on why he says locals in Kent Island feel like they’re being held hostage during the summer and how these “other” ideas should be considered.

This solo episode is about the importance of taking the first step, from Ever Better Podcast host, Lisa Conners Vogt. Do you ever go through this thought process? “I should try this. I might be good at it. But then again, I might be a total failure.” “It seems like this would be fun. I’ll meet new people who do interesting things. I’ll have a more interesting social life. But then again, maybe I won’t fit in. Maybe I’ll feel out of place.” “I’m sure I can figure out how to do that. My friends will be so proud!  They’ll say ‘Look what you’re doing! How awesome!’ But what if I try it and fail? They’ll laugh and say ‘I told you so.’“ “There are so many things to think about. What would I do first? This is way too complicated. I don’t know where to start. I’ll think about this again next week.” And so it goes. You put off, yet again, that project that deep down, really interests you and could change your life. Does any of that sound familiar? People go through this all the time when they’re thinking about starting a new project or taking on something new. The gym tailspin Are you thinking about joining a gym? I listened to a friend work through a series of questions that stopped her from actually taking the first step of even visiting a gym. She was caught in a tailspin wondering… "What gym should I go to?" "What are people wearing to the gym these days?" "Do I have to get new clothes? What about sneakers?" "I’m sure I don’t have the right sneakers or workout clothes. Whew! That’s a lot of shopping!" "I don’t look as good in yoga pants as those women do. Is there another option?!" "If I join a gym, what will I do there? I haven’t used any of that equipment in years. It’s probably all different." "Will I do classes? What’s Zumba? What’s Pilates?" "I’d probably be one of those people who pay the monthly fee all year and never show up." "When would I go? I’m too busy already!" Does this sound at all like your thought processes? Are you in the same tailspin about the gym or something else? It could be about taking a college class, playing a musical instrument, finding a new job, starting a business, trying online dating, or creating a blog. Each of these ventures involves a lot of steps if you stop to break them down. But if you do that, you risk getting caught up in a million details and never taking the first tangible step that will lead to another step, and another. Don’t get me wrong. I truly believe in project management and have practiced it throughout my career. When you’re working for someone else, you need to establish a start date and an end date, a project budget and think through anything that might derail a project. However, if it’s a personal project that will stretch you physically, socially, and creatively, you don’t need to know every little step in advance. You don’t need to know exactly where you’re headed or even how you’ll get there. Once you get started, if you like what you’re doing, you’ll find your way. Tim takes the first step About 18 months ago, my husband Tim, who has always worked out, wasn’t as fit as he used to be and wanted to improve his cardio fitness. A few of his friends at work were running, as was his brother, and two of my brothers. And in our area, you can’t drive down the street without passing a group of runners, regardless of the weather. So Tim thought about running. He did A LOT of reading online and talked to others who ran. Our chiropractor suggested that he start very slowly with short distances and to not worry about speed. He suggested mixing walking and jogging to let his body adjust to the new workout. One day, Tim was ready. He stopped researching and decided to start running. He started by doing a circuit through our neighborhood of about one mile. He ran and walked and ran and walked. His first time out was more walking than running. And so was his second and third. He wore the same clothes he had been wearing to the gym. He didn’t buy special sneakers. He just went with what he had. And he kept at it. The first time he ran through the whole neighborhood without stopping was a big milestone! And then he added a second loop and was eventually able to run two times around without stopping. Soon, he felt strong enough to venture outside of the neighborhood. His running wardrobe grew. He bought new shorts and a few shirts. Several said “Run” on them. I think they might have given him an extra dose of confidence. It got cold and he got a hat and gloves and running tights. And then, about 15 months in, he signed up for a 10K, which is 6.2 miles. He hadn’t run that far yet, but he was getting closer to that distance every week, and now he had a new goal. The week before the race he ran 6 ½ miles - .2 miles further than the course distance. On race day he ran with 22 thousand others over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge from Annapolis, MD to Kent Island. That was a great milestone! This past Christmas, Tim got a special watch to track his miles, his times, his calories, and who knows what else! And now, he’s up to 8 miles. Because he started slowly and adjusted, he’s never been injured and he’s continuing to build his distance and speed. His new goal is a half marathon. And, I know he’ll get there eventually. When I look back on this running journey that he’s been on, I’d have to say that his biggest milestone was taking the first step out the door. It didn’t matter that he wasn’t ready to run the neighborhood loop yet. The important thing is that he got started. He didn’t have the right sneakers, shorts, shirts, watch, hat, gloves, or socks. But over time, he figured out what he needed and slowly built up his running gear. When he started he didn’t know he would do the Chesapeake Bay 10K. I kept asking him about doing 5Ks and he would say, “No, that’s not for me. I’m just doing it for the health benefits.” But one day, it was for him but in a bigger way! He skipped right over the 5K and went directly to the 10K! He didn’t get caught up in figuring out all the details before he got started. He consulted with a doctor and then he stepped outside and TOOK the first step! I mean, he LITERALLY TOOK THE FIRST STEP! As Martin Luther King, Jr. said: “Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” That’s what Tim did and that’s what I did when I wrote this podcast. The first step for this podcast episode If you’re familiar with my podcasts, you’ll know that I’m not afraid to jump into new projects or subjects, but writing a solo show isn’t something that I do regularly. But, it’s something that I want to do more of in 2017. This one took me more weeks that it should have to get started. I’ve been creating a list of topics, but I always found something to do other than sit down and actually write. The first step wasn’t deciding that I wanted to do a solo show, or even making that list of topics. That part was easy. My first step, my first REAL step towards making this happen, was scheduling it on my calendar. Because when I put something on my calendar – I get it done! And for this step, I have to thank Sarah Shaw, my friend and guest from Ever Better Podcast 37. Sarah helps entrepreneurs market their products and specializes in celebrity placements. She holds group coaching calls for her clients so that they can learn from each other’s questions and from her coaching. I recently participated in one of her calls and a client asked about the best way of planning for a trade show. Sarah talked about the importance scheduling to the level of detail that helps you get to where you need to be. She explained that one of her clients even schedules when she’s going to do laundry. Scheduling laundry! What?! That was a lightbulb moment for me. I’m a big calendar person. Discussions with my podcasts guests are scheduled well in advance and guests get automated reminders in the days before our discussion. I schedule my Pilates and Spin classes and my work days revolve around my calendar. So why didn’t I schedule the time to write a solo podcast? If I’m going to be my own podcast guest, why not set it up on my calendar so that I get my own automated reminders?! So that’s what I did! My first step in creating this episode was scheduling time for myself to write. The cool part about my “aha” moment from Sarah is that she has a signature saying: When in doubt, take the next step.” Sarah says that if you’ve taken the first step and you’ve started on a journey, don’t allow yourself to get stuck! It might not be the perfect next step, but if you take it, you’ll continue to move forward. And I’m telling you today that if you take the first step, and then the next step, eventually you’ll find that you’re ready to run a 10K, or write a 10th podcast episode, or take your 10th Pilates class, or whatever else you’re thinking about doing. A first step you can take now If your calendar is in your phone or your purse, take it out. If it’s hanging on your wall or on your refrigerator, walk over to it.  Write down when and where you’ll take your next step. After that, schedule your next step. And your next. And before you know it – you’ll be off and running. Don’t get sidetracked by thoughts about what others might think and whether you’ll fail. Who cares what anyone else thinks! You’re doing this for you! And, you’ll be better off for it. I’d love to hear about how you took your first step to get on your way!
