This month's letter is dedicated to Chuck Doerr, the father of Jennifer's nephew
Charles "Chuck" Patrick Doerr, 56, of Annapolis, Maryland, and formerly a lifelong resident of Edgewater, passed away peacefully at home on July 1, 2025, after a battle with an ongoing lung disease.
Chuck was proud of his Edgewater and Mayo roots and loved sharing stories about his life in Selby-on-the-Bay. After graduating from South River High School, he began a 35-year career at Giant Food, retiring due to his lung condition.
Chuck was an avid sports fan and had a special fondness for anything on the water, particularly surf fishing and crabbing. Some of his favorite stories began with the beach buggy club, a fishing club in the Outer Banks. He was renowned for his exceptional crab steaming skills.
He will be deeply missed by his family and by so many of us in our local community.

Bitten by a tick? This Hopkins professor wants you to send it to him.
From his lab at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Douglas Norris inspects ticks sent in by Marylanders worried or curious about what has bitten them.
This tick detective is excited to get your parasites in the mail
Nina Giraldo
7/29/2025
ER visits from tick bites are at a record high in the U.S.
Every week, Douglas Norris opens a stack of envelopes with gloved hands, pulling a plastic bag from each to hold under a microscope at his lab at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. All of them carry ticks — but the excitement lies in figuring out what kind.
“It is a bit like Christmas,” said Norris, an expert in ticks and mosquitos.
Emergency Room visits from tick bites reached an all-time high in May, according to the CDC’s Tick Bite Data Tracker. Experts attribute the surge in ticks to climate change and fragmentation of the environment by urban areas.
“Here in Maryland, you will find ticks or they will find you,” Norris said.
Nymph ticks, equivalent to a teenager in human years, are the most responsible for disease transmission, because they are tiny and hard to spot — about the size of a sesame seed.
Dog ticks, deer ticks, and lone star ticks are the most common in the U.S. — the last of which is the most common in Maryland.
Deer ticks are the only tick species that carry Lyme disease, infamous for its bulls-eye rash and potentially lifelong symptoms. A bite from a lone star tick, on the other hand, shouldn’t cause concern about Lyme — but it could bring the risk of Alpha-gal syndrome, which has an unknown incidence rate and inflicts a sometimes fatal allergy to red meat.
“Some people get bitten a lot and they don’t ever develop an allergy, and others develop after a single bite,” Norris said. “Nobody really understands the how or why of that.”
Lyme has a disease infection rate of 30% — meaning every three in ten ticks might carry the illness. Other tick-borne illnesses like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Powassan or babesiosis, are far more rare and deadly.
If you do find a tick, pull it off right away, but don’t squeeze it because it is like a “little balloon” and could release more of its fluids into you, according to Norris.
“Take some fine, fine tweezers, get as close to the skin as possible, and just pull straight up,” he said.
Wash your hands and the bite area afterward, per instructions from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Lyme disease is the only tick-borne illness that a tick does not transmit immediately upon biting. For “whatever evolutionary reason,” Norris said, you have 36 to 40 hours before Lyme disease transmission occurs, which makes catching the tick early all the more important. When diagnosed early, antibiotics can resolve more than 90% of Lyme symptoms.
Finally, zip the tick into a plastic bag and mail it to the Maryland Department of Health for further identification. Chances are the insects will get to pay Norris a visit.

The GIST
Psychologists introduce third path to 'good life'—one full of curiosity and challenge
by Karen Dooley, University of Florida
New research suggests that psychological richness—a life of perspective-changing experiences—may matter just as much as happiness or meaning.
For centuries, scholars and scientists have defined the "good life" in one of two ways: a life that is rooted in happiness, characterized by positive emotions, or one that is centered on meaning, guided by purpose and personal fulfillment. But what if there is another, equally valuable path—one that prioritizes challenge, change and curiosity?
This third dimension, which may result in a more psychologically rich life for some, is being explored in a new study published in Trends in Cognitive Sciences, led by University of Florida psychologist Erin Westgate, Ph.D., in collaboration with Shigehiro Oishi, Ph.D., of the University of Chicago. According to their research, some people prioritize variety, novelty, and intellectually stimulating experiences, even when those experiences are difficult, unpleasant, or lack clear meaning.
"This idea came from the question: Why do some people feel unfulfilled even when they have happy and meaningful lives?" Westgate said. "We found that what was missing was psychological richness—experiences that challenge you, change your perspective and satisfy your curiosity."
Westgate and Oishi's research shows that a psychologically rich life is distinct from lives defined by happiness or meaning. While happiness focuses on feeling good, and meaning is about doing good, richness is about thinking deeply and seeing the world differently. And for a significant minority of people around the world, that third path is the one they would choose—even if it means giving up happiness or meaning.
"A psychologically rich life can come from something as simple as reading a great novel or hearing a haunting song," Westgate said. "It doesn't have to be about dramatic events, but it can shift the way you see the world."

You might be fooling yourself about peanut butter, plus 5 other protein mistakes
Are you eating enough protein at breakfast? Most people aren’t.
July 16, 2025
By Anahad O’Connor
Optimizing your protein intake can be tricky. It’s not just how much protein you eat that matters, but when you eat it and the foods that you get it from. You may even have higher protein needs than you think depending on your overall health, your age, your activity levels and other factors.
“We store carbohydrates, we store fat, but we don’t store protein — so we do need to eat it every day,” said Anne Kozil, a registered dietitian nutritionist in the food science and human nutrition department at Colorado State University. “If we consume too little protein for too long, then we resort to consuming our muscle mass as a protein source, which you don’t want to do.”
-Not eating enough protein at breakfast
Think about your daily meals. Are you getting most of your protein at dinner? It’s common for people to eat relatively little protein at breakfast, slightly more protein at lunch, and then a high-protein meal for dinner, Kozil said.
That’s a problem because eating protein promotes satiety and helps to balance your blood sugar levels. If you skimp on protein at breakfast, then you’re more likely to experience hunger and cravings as the day goes on, making you more likely to reach for foods such as doughnuts, candy and potato chips, Kozil said.
Clinical trials in children and adults have found that when people are given high-protein breakfasts, they tend to feel fuller and are less prone to snacking throughout the day compared with people who are given breakfasts that are relatively low in protein.
-Not eating enough protein as an older adult
The National Academy of Medicine says that the amount of protein the average adult needs on a daily basis is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight, or the equivalent of 0.36 grams per pound of body weight. This translates to about 54 grams of daily protein for the average sedentary adult, around the equivalent of eating four ounces of grilled salmon, a three-ounce grilled chicken breast and one hard-boiled egg.
But this amount — known as the recommended dietary allowance — is just the bare minimum that you need to avoid being malnourished. If you are an athlete or someone who exercises regularly, then you need to eat more protein — anywhere from 0.54 to 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. You also need to eat more protein if you’re pregnant and in your second or third trimester (about 0.5 grams per pound of body weight).
But what many people don’t realize is that the protein requirements also depend on your age. As we get older, our muscle mass starts to dwindle, and this decline grows steeper after age 60. At the same time, our muscles become less responsive to protein as we get older, which makes it harder for our bodies to build and repair muscle tissue — a phenomenon known as anabolic resistance.
“As people age, we have less and less muscle mass, which makes it even more important to protect the muscle that we have,”
-Eating too much processed meats
Processed meats such as hot dogs, bacon, sausages and deli meats typically contain a lot of sodium, saturated fat and preservatives. Red meats such as beef, pork, lamb and veal are also high in saturated fat, which can increase LDL cholesterol, the kind associated with cardiovascular disease.
People who eat a lot of red and processed meats may be at higher risk of cancer, especially colorectal cancer, which has been rising among young adults. The American Institute for Cancer Research recommends eating no more than three portions of red meat weekly, which is equivalent to about 12 to 18 ounces of cooked meat. As for processed meats, the institute says that you should eat “little, if any.”
-Not eating enough seafood
Seafood is one of the most nutritious high-protein foods you can eat. It is chock full of vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids, an essential nutrient that our bodies need but can’t produce. A 3.5-ounce serving of wild salmon has at least 22 grams of protein — the amount in nearly four eggs.
Health authorities recommend that you eat at least two servings of seafood each week. Yet 90 percent of adults in the U.S. fall short of this goal. If you’re in this group, then you could be missing out on some major health benefits.
Studies have found that eating seafood promotes brain and heart health and lowers your likelihood of early death. One meta-analysis of studies involving about 670,000 adults found that people who ate the most seafood were less likely to die prematurely from any cause. People who ate half a serving of fish per day, which is roughly two ounces, were 12 percent less likely to die early than those who ate little or no seafood.
The healthiest types of seafood include the following:
- Wild salmon
- Sardines, anchovies and Atlantic mackerel
- Rainbow trout
- Mussels
- Oysters
-Not eating enough protein-rich plants
Another healthy source of protein you are probably overlooking is pulses, which include beans, peas and lentils. Pulses are brimming with not only protein but also vitamins, minerals and fiber, a nutrient that promotes gut health and weight loss and improves blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
Eating just a single cup of cooked lentils, black beans or pinto beans (or a combination of the three) would deliver 15 to 18 grams of protein and about 15 grams of fiber — more than half your daily fiber needs. Pulses are also among the most affordable high-protein foods in the world.
Yet the average American eats only a half-cup of beans, peas or lentils each week — less than the one to three cups that health authorities recommend.

| | Great Gluten Free Breakfast alternative | | |
Oats are not for everyone and if you are trying to reduce or cut out grains from your diet then breakfast can be a nightmare.
Step in the Amaranth Seed.
A protein packed powerhouse, Amaranth contains more than three times the average amount of calcium and is also high in iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. It’s also the only grain documented to contain Vitamin C..pretty impressive stuff right!
As with all porridge this couldn’t be simpler to make.
You simply combine the amaranth with all the ingredients in a small pan and bring to a gentle bubble on the stove. I know that at first it will seem like a lot of liquid to the amount of Amaranth but thees little seeds really soak up the juice. So be liberal.
Keep it on a low bubble and give it the occasional stir to stop it from sticking and so you can adjust the liquid if you need to. You may find that you will want to add a splash more almond milk to stop it from becoming too thick.
It will take about 20 mins for the porridge to cook through.
- 1 cup organic amaranth seeds
- 2 1/2 cups goat milk, coconut milk, almond milk, water, or a combination
- 1 teaspoon shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1/2–1 teaspoon cinnamon and vanilla
- chia seeds, walnuts, and summer stone fruit
YUM!
