If You’ll Listen, I’ll Tell You a Story Let’s celebrate the partnership of writer and reader or this year’s Fall Fix-up feature, I’m finally able to gloat over my kitchen remodeling. Not only is my kitchen done; so is my story relating blow by blow that achievement for you. Happy as I am that both are done, I’m haunted by a bit of guilt. I’ve carried on about the stress of redoing a kitchen as if I’m the only person to have ever borne such labor. from the I’ve even compared it to childEditor birth: “The good result, if you’re lucky, obscures your memory of the suffering of getting there.” Meanwhile friends and neighbors have suffered far worse: building — or rebuilding — their homes from the ground up because of fire, fallen trees or just because it was time. On top of enduring dislocation, they’ve had to find new temporary homes, sometimes evacuating is the midst of trauma. Yet who’s listening to their far more deserving stories? It’s my profession’s blessing — though when a story haunts you in the wee hours before morning it feels more like a curse — to not only live my life’s story but also to tell it. I’ve had that privilege because of Bay Weekly. Few writers have Emily Dickinson’s supposed contentment in simply writing her poems, audience or not. We may write lots in private, journaling as religiously as saying morning prayers. Compelled as we are to write — to document and make sense of experience or create whole new worlds — we can’t feel a well made story is complete until it finds its reader. For 1,349 weeks, I’ve found my reader — you — in Bay Weekly. Finding a comfortable meeting space to meet your readers means you’ll return there again and again, for once stories have a place to go, their supply is limitless. Whatever writer’s block is, Bay Weekly didn’t let it in. That’s why I’ve told you stories about everything including — this week — the kitchen sink. For meeting me all these weeks I thank you. So do all the writers whose contributions have made

Bay Weekly wonderful for 26 years. Many of those writers are reaching out to tell me just what I’ve told you here: that we made them a place to meet readers, and that made all the difference. Bay Weekly “gave me a shot when no one else would answer my phone calls,” wrote Louis Llovio, our stalwart for three or four lucky years. That start took him to the Baltimore Sun Media Group, the Daily Record and the Richmond Times-Dispatch. C.T. Taylor Schwink, our summer intern back in 2011, wrote to thank us for being “the hometown publication that gave me a shot when everyone else slammed the door on me.” Following his “passion, sports podcasting,” he’s found his dream job, a career “producing podcasts for ESPN.” Brianne Warner Alcala, the summer intern back in 1998 who made our first online edition, wrote, “What a glorious run Bay Weekly has had. What a staff you, Bill, Alex, Betsy and so many others have been. I am so grateful for my intern summer and those early web days together.” Brianne — who made editing her career, starting at the University of Maryland — has seen the closing of two of her papers, most recently the Washington Post Express, and the Diamondback’s ending its print edition. We’re just a few of multitudes who found their careers in newspapers because that’s where they found you. Thank you for reading all the stories we’ve gotten to tell because Bay Weekly existed. It’s been a great partnership. And there’s still more to come. This week for Fall Fix-up, we advise you on gardens as well as homes. Dr. Francis Gouin, our Bay Gardener for a dozen years, performs a miracle, returning from the dead to our pages to remind you what you should and shouldn’t do to grow a lawn. If keeping up your lawn is wearing you out, you’ll also want to turn to Maria Price’s Gardening for Health, where she advises on the advantages of gardens over lawns. You’ll also read about the plight of our trees, first drowned and now, alas, dying of drought. And about how to manage outdoor fires safely. You’ll also find a directory of people to help you manage your fall home and garden. Sporting Life columnist Dennis Doyle reminds you that catching depends on good tackle, which means you might owe yours a good fall cleaning. And, as usual, as well as news you can use,
lived in real life, inside a living thankfulness. To see another newspaper closing is sad. Almost as sad as seeing bookstores closing. Hopefully I will never see libraries closing. I love to feel and smell a book, old or new, to touch and mark up a newspaper, clip out items I want to remember. I’m rambling, but in the end I wish

there’s news just for fun. We imagine you’ll be tickled pink by staff writer Kathy Knotts’ story Real Men Wear Pink — Or Sometimes Next to Nothing.
My Bay Weekly Wheel of Memory Speaking of Dr. Francis Gouin — the very mention of his name makes me break out in smiles for all the good we got out of that most generous of men. He was a regular visitor to our Deale office across from Happy Harbor, though you never could tell how he’d arrive. Sometimes it would be on his 1949 John Deere tractor, sometimes on his AllisChalmers B, sometimes his Farmall B and sometimes in his 1930 Ford Model A — all vehicles he’d restored himself to driving order and beauty. Often he’d arrive bringing gifts: This time of year it would be persimmons, whose loss I’m grieving along with his. Earlier it would be peaches. Earlier still, peach blossoms. Like him, those trees are gone: He cut them down rather than endure their attack by stinkbugs. Always he’d arrive bringing stories. That was what was on offer in his first visit. Back in the spring of 2006, he came offering himself as our gardening columnist. I told him I’d just signed on with University of Maryland Coop Extension Service for a run of Ask the Plant Professor. What did I know? Soon, I knew — because he told me so — that I was talking to that Service’s professor emeritus, the guy who made sure home gardeners as well as farmers knew how to use science for the benefit of their crops and the planet … as well as the guy who turned composting to a science and brought the Master Gardeners program to Maryland. So I said yes, please Dr. G, you can write for us, and for those words all of our lives are richer. ﵭ

Real Men Wear Pink Or sometimes next to nothing ave Rosage, wore enough pink last year to raise $3,000 for the American Cancer Society. But that wasn’t enough to knock local businessman Jim Weaver out of first place in the Real Men Wear Pink competition. Weaver raised $16,000 and won a custom-made suit in recognition.
D
Dave Rosage during last year’s Real Men Wear Pink competition. This year will be different vows Rosage, the general manager of Skipper’s Pier restaurant in Deale. He’s banking on a steamy proposition to rake in the dollars. Enter the Real Men Wear Pink calendar. Rosage has persuaded 11 male friends to don pink accessories and pose for a wall calendar sure to leave
recipients tickled pink. Already lined up are a power washer, a firefighter, a construction worker, a farmer, a fisherman … “I’ve got all the angles covered,” Rosage said. “Each month will have a theme. For instance, since I was born on July 4, I will be Mr. July. I’ll be wearing a pink bowtie, and possibly not much else,” teases Rosage. “I think it’s going to be a great Christmas gift and a lot of fun for our community. I don’t think I will match Jim Weaver’s fundraising, but I’m a scrappy little entrepreneur, and I believe that self-deprecating humor is the best kind. It’s all for a good cause. Everyone has someone who has been affected by cancer.” Rosage’s 12 months of “real” men also features Southern Anne Arundel County beverage guru and good friend Richie Nieman. “I made him Mr. October. He deserves the most important month for breast cancer awareness. He believes in the cause every bit as much as we do.” Dave and Jessica Rosage got involved in the American Cancer Society after a beloved server at their restaurant was diagnosed with cancer. “It really hurt our team and shook us all. We knew we had to do something.” In addition to the calendar, Rosage is hosting Corks for a Cause Friday October 18 at the restaurant, plus selling T-shirts and raffle tickets. Rosage is just one of 11 Anne Arundel men fundraising this month, each wearing pink every day and coming up with new ways to earn donations. Rounding out the roster, in addition to Rosage and Weaver, are: Jack Walsh of Arundel High School; Rick Hennen of First County Mortgage; Richard Petty of RS Petty Consulting; Doug Butschky of Level 10 Business Solutions; Brian Riddle of Homestead Gardens; Fred Goodson of Greene Turtle; Joe Miller for Mathnasium; Mohan Grover of Renno’s Market; and Rob Harris of Broadneck High School. –Kathy Knotts

fire, take the Maryland State Fire Marshal’s advice on staying safe and preserving your home and property. “Burning a large pile of brush is not the same as having a small campfire,” says State Fire Marshal Brian S. Geraci. “The scale of these fires means an increased chance of unintentional spread and flashback, which can cause injury or death.” For your safety and your community’s, follow Maryland Department of Natural Resources’ regulations: When burning brush and other natural debris, you must ensure: • A natural or constructed fire break at least 10 feet wide around the material to be burned that is free of flammable materials. • At least one responsible person remains at the location of the fire until the last spark is out. • Equipment on hand to prevent the fire from escaping, including access to water and a shovel with dirt or sand nearby. • The burning follows all local requirements and regulations according to county, city and/or homeowner’s association. • Burning occurs only between the hours of 4pm and midnight, except when the ground is covered with snow. If there is snow-covered ground, the burning may occur at any time so long as all other requirements are met. Never use an accelerant. A fire started with lighter fluid, gasoline or diesel fuel can leap out of control. Wet the ground surrounding the fire. Do not burn on windy days or in dry weather. Do not burn near trees, buildings or other flammable sources. Do not burn household trash, tires, roofing material or treated lumber in an open fire. Find more information about openair fire safety: www.visitdnr.maryland.gov.
his is a tough year on trees. “We are seeing a lot of health issues in our trees, particularly since this is the first really dry spell in about three years,” says Anne Hairston-Strang, associate director at the Maryland Forest Service. The wet years created ideal conditions for root rot and other moistureloving diseases. “Some of the damage from the disease is only being felt now that it is really dry and the damaged root systems can’t function as well,” Hairston-Strang says. Now the lack of rain compounds problems. “We’re in a drought, and that means trees are more susceptible to disease,” says Steven Graham, owner of Independent Tree Care and a certified arborist. S o m e trees are suffering temporary problems, such as bacterial leaf scorch, HairstonStrang says. Leaves dropping can also be a temporary problem, as “trees photo by Ken Shumaker, University of Maryland Extension defoliate due A defoliated white oak. to the drought, which is normal,” Graham says. Other trees are facing death. “University of Maryland Extension specialists have received many reports of dying trees, and many are oaks, particularly white oaks,” Hairston-Strang says. Age is part of the problem. “Many of our oaks are older and are losing vigor, making them more susceptible to the wet and dry extremes we have been seeing,” Hairston-Strang adds. For many oaks, their strengths become weaknesses in times like this. “Oaks host a lot of biodiversity, which also translates into damage from a lot of different kinds of organisms,” Hairston-Strang explains. Watering can help your trees. Graham recommends rain barrels as “a great way to water your trees.”

Suds and Scents Family turns passion into businsess he Bowen family is making a career out of their passion for creating bath, body and home products. For Lance Bowen and daughter Ella, that’s experimenting with scented items. “They created soaps, candles, lotions, body wash, lip scrubs, salt and sugar scrubs and more,” says wife and mother Danielle Bowen. Danielle and son Austin got in on the act as “testers and in critiques and marketing.” The family project kept growing. “Once we got past the initial testing and improvement stages, we included our friends and family,” Danielle says. “We loved the excitement we have built around making our own products and wanted to share with more than just our friends and family. This lead to the idea of creating a place that people could come in to create both memories and their own products.” This year, the family opened Blended Essentials in Severna Park. Customers make their own soaps, candles, bath bombs, scrubs, diffusers, wax melts and more. Pre-made items are also available for purchase. The shop is committed to being environmentally responsible. “We source local, natural, ecofriendly and health-friendly ingredients,” Danielle says. Candles are made with soy-wax, cotton wicks and fragrances or essential oils. Soaps are made in five blends of goat’s milk, shea butter, oatmeal shea, olive oil and palm oil.
T
The Bowen family turned a passion for creating bath, body and home products into a business, Blended Essentials in Severna Park. Lance Bowen brings more than creativity to the team. He has a masters degree in cell molecular biology and a PhD in environmental toxicology. “His love for science research has brought us the best products for you to make,” Danielle says. Customers get to pick a container for their creations. Many are repurposed from bowls, coffee cups, wine glasses or trinket bowls. Used candle jars can be repurposed. Bring in a used, non-plastic candle jar and you can make and take home a new candle with your choice of scent and color. The shop also offers private classes for small groups and larger parties. “Our space is calming, engaging and inspiring to all ages,” Danielle says. “Our intention is to build relationships through creativity.” –Krista Pfunder

Way Downstream … O.C. declares victory over seagulls ike some Ocean City beachgoers, gulls there are downright rude. The boldest of them swoop down to snatch chips, fries and whole pieces of pizza. Laughing gulls deride you. But the aggression waned after the city’s decision to hire falcons to restore order. Sea gulls known to bully humans want nothing to do with fearsome birds of prey.
L
A turkey vulture, left, and black vultures, above. On Sunday, OCNJDaily reports, gulls made themselves scarce when a female falcon named Blackberry went on duty. They even sounded warning cries to other gulls to keep away from Blackberry. Blackberry works for East Coast Falcons, owned by master falconer Eric Swenson, who evolved from handling dogs to zoo animals. The New York-area company trumpets its success in handling nuisance birds wherever they congregate, be it airports, parks or landfills. “When we fly our trained falcons, hawks or owls overhead, birds know instinctively that they are being hunted,” East Coast Falcons asserts on its website. Did we mention that in addition to Blackberry, Ozzy the owl also worked the Ocean City beaches? The town regards the imported hunters as such a success that they plan to bring them back next summer. “It was an effective program to get rid of the pesky seagulls and a popular program with residents and visitors, both educational and entertaining,” Ocean City business administrator George Savastano told the online paper. –Bill Lambrecht
This Week’s Creature Feature
Graceful Fliers and Good for the Environment But vultures do have some disgusting habits
photo and story by Wayne Bierbaum
oth black and turkey vultures, also known as buzzards, are common throughout North America, especially around the Chesapeake Bay. Even more are present during the fall migration, when they fly around the updrafts of the mountains and along the coastal shores. You see them circling in large groups called kettles. Many spend the winter here, so you also see them on roofs and trees trying to warm up in the sun. The black vulture has an excellent sense of smell. By circling drafts of scents, they can find carrion deep within a woods. Turkey vultures are bigger and a little less common. They do not have as good a sense of smell as the black vulture. They frequently follow black vultures to feed on the carrion first. The black vulture has some difficulty getting into a large animal, so it will rely on the turkey vulture for the heavy work and then overcome the

These big birds like to raise their young in enclosed areas like abandoned sheds, playhouses, barns, caves, etc. It also has the unpleasant habit of roosting in large groups. Their excrement is very concentrated, can kill plants underneath, and it smells horribly bad. The birds also use the smelly stuff to cover their legs and feet to keep away biting insects. Both birds have no feathers on their necks, and that helps them stay cleaner. The turkey vulture has a red head and neck. They lay their eggs on ledges, hollow logs or on the ground. They do not make nests. They also have unpleasant behaviors. When bothered or attacked, they forcefully projectile vomit chasing away almost any foe. It certainly would chase me away. The presence of vultures and condors helps reduce the spread of disease. They clean up the environment of potentially contagious materials. Despite their bad reputation and some unpleasant habits, they are graceful in their soaring flights. To tell the difference between soaring vultures and bald eagles, look at the position and color of their wings. The vultures fly with their wings in a V, while eagles’ wings are mostly out flat. Vultures have pale gray — almost white — on the trailing edges of their wings. Eagle wings are all black, with juveniles having large white speckles. To get up close to some of the birds, you can visit the Fisherman’s Park at Conowingo Dam. Hundreds of vultures flock there and get so close they will pull the rubber gaskets off your car. ﵭ

Even the Kitchen Sink Goes to the Dump Like childbearing, a kitchen remodel ends so well (usually) that you forget the labor of getting there by Sandra Olivetti Martin Bay Weekly editor
t’s been years that you’ve been reading about my intention to remodel my kitchen. So I must share the news that my kitchen is now a story with a happy ending. It’s so appealing, apparently, that friends and neighbors stop in for viewings that turn into impromptu kitchen parties. Beauty is well and good, but a remodeled kitchen is a utilitarian place. Its story will be written in the many years I hope it and I have to cook together. Kitchen remodeling is like childbearing. The good result, if you’re lucky, obscures your memory of the suffering of getting there. Read on for some practical advice gained through experience and the entertainment of watching others make mistakes you hope to avoid.
I
Begin with Plenty of Time and Money Remodeling my kitchen was, as I said, an idea of long gestation. Improvement after improvement over three decades had papered over our problems. Inherited wallpaper had been replaced by the wallpaper that nearly triggered divorce, which in its own dated time got professionally removed for painting. Painted cabinets had been stripped to natural oak. Formica countertops had been replaced by tile, which worked far better in the kitchen of the friend from whom I’d copied it. I had the best stove I could imagine, until I saw another friend’s Wolf. Even then, I had the best stove I could afford. So the transformed kitchens of friends and neighbors stirred only passing longing. We were doing fine together, my old kitchen and I. Until we weren’t. I could still cook, but all the faults I’d overlooked now blared out at me in unison, like grumpy old men. The morning my lazy Susan collapsed, I visited my first kitchen store. The one I dropped into wasn’t very impressive, in offerings or service. The first question was the size of my budget. That’s how I learned I should expect to pay thousands — in the $20,000 to $25,000 range and maybe more. I went home and propped up my lazy Susan cabinet with a one-by-one. Months of kitchen discontent passed before I dared book a kitchen remodeling visit — with a different company.
Search Far and Wide for Good Ideas Beneath the surface, things were happening during fallow months that stretched to years. On visits to Home Depot and 8•
Lowes, I’d dart into the kitchen department to peer into display kitchens and run my fingers over cabinet doors, assessing the wood and the design. You know how those back-store departments are; I never had to talk to anybody because nobody to talk to was ever there. Every visit to a friend became a kitchen inspection of cabinetry (inside and out), counter surfacing, sink material, depth and design and faucet features. Andy, who moved every couple of years and designed a new kitchen each time, had become a master. He had not only that Wolf range but also a giant single stainless steel sink, an admirable made-to-order spice rack and under-cabinet twinkle lights. Sue and Steve had the first builtin double garbage and recycling bin I’d seen. Barbara had an enviable ceramic farm sink. Lee’s granite sink had an attached drain board. Alex and Lisa had windows to be envied. Margaret had custom-made cabinets and special drawers for containers. Kathy had husband-made glass-front cabinets and a polished hardwood counter top. Everybody had self-close drawers and cabinets, and nearly — but not quite — everybody had granite countertops. Magazines and Pinterest offered more fantastic possibilities. I felt overwhelmed. For countertops alone, choices ranged from stone — granite, quartz, marble, soapstone, slate — to metal — stainless steel and copper — to concrete, to wood to recycled glass … and counting. For sinks, material

choices were as many — plus number, depth, width and mounting. For cabinets, I had to consider not only style, material and finish but also height. “Find what you like,” said the one constant in my plan, my trusted contractor and carpenter extraordinaire John Autrey. “I’ll take care of the rest.” Easy for him to say, but not for me to do. Still, my kitchen values were surreptitiously forming.
Define Your Parameters Finally, I worked up the courage for a second visit to a kitchen designer. This one had been recommended by a pro who sold high-end kitchen and bath fixtures plus all sorts of knobs, pulls and numbers at a store where I went to make small purchases — and to dream. Maybe, just maybe, it would be affordable given that it had Discount in its name. I made an appointment and left with homework. Back home, I paced, measured, photographed and drew grids of the spaces I had to work with. The picture I came up with was tight. In a small rectangular space with no place to stretch in any direction, change was going to be finite rather than the infinity of my kitchen dreams. So I knew right away that all the wonders that designer imagined would never work for me or my kitchen. Back home, I made a list of all the features my kitchen absolutely needed from a designer who could magically defy the limitations of space.
Get Out And Shop I didn’t find my magician in a bigbox store. I tried, after finally discovering that kitchen designers did work there — but by appointment only. In that meeting, I finally learned that all those racks of cabinet samples divided by brand and grade. Design, material and finish were separate classifications relatively consistent across brand and grade. Style I could handle. Shaker was an easy decision. Even within that style came more decisions: the depth of cabinet borders and, on drawer fronts, bordered or solid. The maze of options was daunting. Should my drawers — however they were finished — be divided vertically, horizontally or diagonally? Should cabinets be designed to hold OXO food storage containers? How many pullouts and pop-ups should a kitchen hold? With more questions in the world of kitchen remodeling than I could juggle, I needed professional help. I found my kitchen counselor in the pages of Bay Weekly. Dwayne Dwyer of Annapolis Kitchen and Bath trusted us. Maybe I could trust him. And if she could afford them, ad rep Audrey Broomfield assured me, so could I. Dwyer’s West Annapolis showroom had plenty to tempt me — including twinkle lights. He didn’t allow much dithering. He and his son, Alex, scheduled a field trip to Fairhaven Cliffs. With camera and
laser measuring tape, they documented my kitchen. The lean-to addition to an old beach cottage was, they concluded, like nothing they’d ever seen before. “Look at that,” Dwyer said. “The floor is slanted just like the ceiling.” Ha, ha. They also listened. From those meetings came drawings that would be revised, rejected, fine-tuned, squeezed, extended — after, of course, I signed a contract and wrote a big fat check. Drawing after drawing, the Dwyer team returned to recheck whether the newest plan would really work. Visit four was a summit, when designer Dwyer and contractor Autrey finally met. Would they get along? I fretted. Or would they clash, these two guys each with supreme confidence in his way of doing things? If so, there went my kitchen. Would irreconcilable differences be grounds for refunding a nonrefundable payment?
formation would happen abracadabra, just like magic. I knew, of course, that husband Bill and I would have to empty it of all its contents. I knew that our comforting circadian rhythms would be disrupted. Nothing I couldn’t manage, I told myself, just as a woman about to go into labor anticipates nothing she can’t manage. Who knew a kitchen could hold so much stuff, I mused — wiping my brow from rounds of toting — as box, basket and stack barricaded us like hoarders into the couple of rooms we’d set up camp, provisioned with a Keurig, microwave and toaster. Meals of sardines and crackers seemed charming — for a few days. Moving in the kitchen appliances and furniture — refrigerator, table, chairs, sofa and a couple of very big cabinets — made our quarters closer still. When the six-month-old fridge broke down, the loaner made two. The new dishwasher moved in early. So did its roommate, the new ceiling fan. Then came demolition, the wielding of crowbar and hammer to rip away cabinets and pry up tile. Everything came out, including the kitchen sink. Revealed were layers of more hidden wallpaper, lost silver, an ancient mouse nest — and dirt. The starkness of what we saw triggered rounds of frenzied kitchen scrubbing, wood-staining, floor polishing and painting — and lots of woe-isme-ing by both husband and me, who had not expected so much do-it-ourselfing.
Establish Your Role You already know the answer to that question — at least as much of it as I’m going to divulge. We three main characters, each used to playing lead, succeeded in an arrangement whose success depended on compromise. We had to learn skills even more basic than when to back off, for we began not speaking the same language. Turns out I was my own general contractor, a role Dwyer typically played. Had I allowed him to take my project from beginning to end, linking in expert partners and minimizing the burden of decision, my experience would have been a lot easier. But this story wouldn’t be as good. Handing it over to a general contractor might work for you. But it wouldn’t for me, Goddess Supreme of my kitchen. I wanted my hands and eyes on every detail. That meant going out on my own to tour the collections and compare the prices and services of stone stores, appliance stores, sink stores, knob and pull stores, fan and lighting stores — brick and mortar and online. Our three-way partnership gave me the best of both worlds. As well as the fun of seeing, touching and negotiating, I got to call in the expert advice of two professionals in making my decisions. Their guidance saved me missteps and money.
Expect the Unexpected With cabinets, countertops, dishwasher, fan and lighting fixtures ordered, I was sitting in the catbird seat, confident that my kitchen trans-
Patience Wins the Prize The occupation of our safe space made us more anxious than we could have imagined. We itched and twitched to get back to normal. Impatience heightened our anxiety. We could have gotten quite fussbudgetty, had not this revelation dawned: My perfect plan — with step after orderly step folding on top of one another like a neatly shuffled deck of cards — was one thing. Reality was another, and that’s the one we’d have to live our way through. We did. What emerged was an individual creation that was far from one-stop shopping. A steam punk ceiling fan doesn’t threaten even the tallest neighbor. One of our best choices, and the one that took three trips to nail down, is South American granite counters the color of flowing rivers of honey. The cabinets, natural cherry wood in the Shaker style, blended with dark cherry woodwork cut and milled locally by the irreplaceable Autrey. Beveled glass doors in one cabinet show a montage of four shelves of cook books, lighted inside by twinkle lights, like all cabinets beneath. There’s room on top for my coffeemaker museum. We have specialized cabinets big enough to house ungainly utensils both flat, like trays and a breadstone, and round, like the giant crab pot. Cooking my way around my remodeled and organized kitchen, I say, like any proud mother, that it was all worth it. ﵭ

Seven Steps to Vanquishing Bare Spots Filling in bare spots takes more work than sprinkling seeds and a little peat moss over the seed. Most likely such seeds will germinate and grow, but odds are that the soil is compacted in that spot, so the new seedlings will die after a few weeks of drought. Soil compaction is the most likely cause for dead spots. Unless the soil compaction problem is resolved, it will recur. Step 1. Loosen the soil to a depth of at least four inches. Step 2. Amend that soil with about an inch of compost. Work the compost thoroughly into the loose soil. Step 3. Firm the amended soil by walking over it several times. Step 4. Scratch the surface lightly before spreading the seed. Step 5. Seed.
Four Steps to a Healthy, Bay-Friendly Lawn Follow the doctor’s orders Editor’s Note: Lest you forget, we share with you one last time the invaluable advice of Dr. Francis Gouin — our Bay Gardener for 12 years until his death in 2018.
arm days and cool nights, combined with shorter daylight hours, are what the doctor ordered for the favorite grasses of Chesapeake Country: bluegrass and fescues. They’re called cool-season grasses because they germinate, produce roots and lap up nutrients once summer’s heat shuts down. So now’s the time to get to work on next year’s perfect lawn.
W
Step 1. Test your soil A good lawn grows from well-prepared soil.
Lawn grasses grow best when soil pH is between 6.3 and 6.8, with medium to high levels of nutrients. You’ll know where your soil stands if you send it to a reputable soil testing laboratory. Send soil samples for testing to Waypoint Analytical in Richmond. Full instructions for testing are online: www.al-labs-eastern.com/ taking_soil_sample.aspx
The best bet for Chesapeake Country is the improved fescue grasses that develop deep roots and become more drought-tolerant than bluegrasses. Seed following package directions.
Step 7. Mist daily, ideally at high noon. Alternately, sprinkle a light coating of straw over the seeded area. After sprouting, decrease watering as above.
Step 2. Feed your soil The best lawns also grow on soils with a minimum of three percent organic matter. When the grass roots penetrate deep into the soil, grasses become more drought-tolerant and recover more quickly from heavy use. Begin by spreading a minimum of four cubic yards of compost per 1,000 square feet over the existing lawn.
PENDE E D
Improve germination by keeping the soil surface moist with two to three light waterings each day for the first week. To retain moisture, spread a thin layer of straw sufficient to form a 20 percent shade cover over the soil. As seeds germinate, reduce the number of daily waterings. Once space between the glass blades begins to fill in, limit watering to two- or three-day intervals with more water each time.
Each week at this point, apply one inch of water per acre. That’s about the amount of water needed to fill a tuna can placed under a sprinkler. By allowing the soil to dry between waterings, you encourage deeper rooting. Keeping the soil moist at all times will promote shallow rooting, which can be detrimental as the cold season progresses. ﵭ

If your soil test indicates low limestone, nutrients or organic matter, then incorporate the lime, fertilizers and compost into the soil by rototilling or spading. Do this a week or two before seeding so that the land has time to level and settle smoothly.

Fall Tackle Maintenance Start now, or regret it later was again planning for a great day. Winds were forecast out of the west at five mph, and temperatures were to be in the mid 60s. Couldn’t ask for a Sporting Life better picture. By 10am it was still blowing 20 out of the north. The mercury hadn’t yet climbed out of by Dennis Doyle the 50s. Another fishing fantasy started by a forecaster was ruined by the actual weather. I brooded. It had been a long time since I’d been on the waters. Small craft warnings had blanked all of my free days. Now it looked like maybe the rest of the week might follow. To my right was only more bad news. My many rods, all at the ready, showed the same dull, grimy faults. Dried fish slime mottled them all. They

really needed some attention and I, unfortunately, now had the time. I had learned long ago that putting off cleaning my gear while hoping for a few more days of fishing pretty much guaranteed filthy tackle in the spring. Once it is definitely too cold to fish, it was also too cold to think about cleaning gear. Start now, I had discovered, or regret it later. Fish slime, once it dries on rod blanks, can require specialized attention. Most hardened slime is beyond kitchen cleaning products. If they’re abrasive enough to remove the slime, they usually also damage the rod finish. Not fatally, just enough that the dulled surface will collect just about everything. I’ve found that ordinary toothpaste does a remarkably good job. With a mild abrasive quality that tends to polish rather than scour finishes, it cleans up just about any rod. Rubbing the paste (my favorite is Ultra Brite), onto the blank and giving it a good but brief massage, I set the blank aside for a minute or two, then

scrub with an old toothbrush (of course) while rising off the residue. You may need to assist any stubborn fish scales with a fingernail but otherwise the job’s mostly done. Completing the task with a coating of marine silicone will keep the rod shiny new and ready to go back into action. Plus, if you do get a chance to return to the water before the big chill sets in, that coating of silicone will keep the rod clean. Nothing will stick to it. Your cork rod grip also requires special attention. First rule: Do not scrub cork with a brush. Every cork grip, when new, is finished by filling in all of the small, natural gaps on its surface with a cork powder paste, which is then sanded smooth. Scrubbing with a brush of any kind removes the filler and leaves you with an ugly handle.

Winds and small craft warnings shut down most angling this past week, and the very high flood tides have scattered the bait schools. Most reports have been of little to no action and what there is yielding small fish. Top hopes are for a shallow-water bite for rockfish. Bluefish are showing up in impressive sizes. Spot are still around, with a croaker here and there but not for long. Perch continue to school up, but finding fish over eight inches is a chore. Spanish mackerel are still around. To our south, speckled trout and redfish are available, as are some cobia for a lucky few.
A kitchen steel wool pad, embedded with soap and bleach, is an ideal tool for even the most fouled cork grip and will not remove the fills. Lightly scrub the entire cork surface, rinse and allow to dry. Do not scrub the rod blank; the steel wool will remove its finish. If you’ve a mind to keep that cork handle pristine, apply a generous layer of pure neatsfoot oil to the dried cork. That will keep the handle in top condition as well as giving it an extra comfortable feel. The reel is a separate task. By that I mean separate it from the rod, clean the reel seat and lightly lubricate the rod’s reel seat mechanism. Don’t use grease or heavy oils, as they attract dust and sand. Most reels today need little maintenance, but it’s a good idea to check them over carefully. They tend to collect dirt and salt in their tiniest corners, and that is not a good thing. Clean out all the crevices, and use a good preservative on all metal parts. Corrosion X brand is my pick for the best. Strip off the first 20 feet of line and discard it, for that first section experiences the most wear. Soak down the rest of the spooled line with conditioner. I use Real Magic, but most brands are pretty equal.

Make Your Lawn into a Garden Grass is greedy and needy; plants are generous lawn is a lot of work. If you’re committed to having a good lawn, now’s the time to get to work. On the other hand, it’s also a good time to transform a demanding lawn into a beautiful garden. You can Gardening for design a garden Health to grow vegetables, herbs, perennials, annuals and native plants. There are good reasons to cut out grass. Americans manby Maria Price age about 30 million acres of lawn, spending $800 million on grass seed every year. Between two and a half and five million tons of fertilizers are spread on lawns, as well as 70 million pounds of pesticides. Grass clippings consume 25 to 40 percent of landfill space. Gas-powered lawn equipment emits more hydrocarbons than cars per hour of operation. Mowers emit 10 times as much, string trimmers 21 times and blowers emit 34 times more than cars. Thirty percent of water consumed on the East Coast is used for watering lawns. Gardens skip many of those costs and bring far more benefits: insects, butterflies, birds and wildlife. Rather than grass, all those creatures prefer native plants that have evolved and adapted to our climate since the last ice age, more than 10,000 years ago. The life cycles of mutually evolving plants and animals support and depend on each other. For example, the zebra swallowtail butterfly larva feeds only on leaves of the paw paw tree. Larvae of the monarch butterfly feed on milkweed. You must have larva food plants for these butterflies to proliferate. Yet both those larval plants, milkweed and paw paw, are traded for lawn or harmed by lawnsustaining practices. Pollinators like hummingbirds,

Authentic Spanish & Mexican Cuisine bees, butterflies and other insects assure their own survival while helping plants reproduce. The rewards of native plants include improved environmental quality, landscape sustainability, improved aesthetics and water quality and a more balanced ecosystem to increase wildlife by providing nuts, berries, seeds, fruit and nectar. Native plants such as milkweeds, echinaceas, coreopsis, eupatoriums, lobelias, monardas, asters and phlox are good understory choices. A pollinator-dominant garden can also include non-native low-story perennial plants that provide a lot of nectar: salvias, mints, roses, lavender, fennel, lemon balm, yarrows, columbines, campanulas and thymes. In the sunniest areas, plant lowstory vegetables for your own eating. Many greens like lettuce, mustards, and kale can tolerate some shade. Mid- and upper-story native trees and shrubs also support wildlife and lengthen the seasons of your garden. They are also part of the architecture that makes your garden a work of art. Continue to add structure with hardscaping, and you’ll have a garden that’s as much work as a lawn. But it will be a more entertaining hobby because it will give you so much more.

Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) and her goddaughter Aurora (Elle Fanning) begin to question the complex family ties that bind them as they are pulled in different directions by impending nuptials, unexpected allies and dark new forces at play. Once upon a time, a terrible movie was cursed by a screenwriter and director with terrible characters and a nonsensical plot. … Director Joachim Rønning (Doomsday) cobbles together a cacophony of goofy comedy, with humans bonked on the head as funny music plays, and troubling violence, with fairies screaming as they are exterminated in a red mist. The movie swings wildly between these tones, never settling on one. The worst element of the first film, Aurora is worse here. She twirls. She laughs. She falls off of high places. She needs saving every 10 minutes of the film. It’s maddening to watch her sim-
per and gawk. I wish Maleficent would bring back the curse. Keeping the audience from being put under a sleeping spell is Jolie. In a perfectly wonderful performance that belongs in a better film, she’s arch and amusing at every turn. Pfeiffer also camps it up like a champ. She’s a delightfully cartoonish baddie, complete with sneering and raised eyebrows. Her Queen Ingrith is the pure embodiment of what an evil queen should be, which makes Aurora’s obliviousness even more infuriating. Jolie and Pfeiffer give us a great battle of the cheekbones, so it’s too bad they get so little screen time together. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is a
Rudy Ray Moore (Eddie Murphy) believes he’s born to be famous. With no one willing to give him a break, he decides to make his own break by funding his own movie. This story of what happened behind the scenes to create the cult classic Dolemite is being lauded as Murphy’s big comeback role. He’s getting Oscar buzz and earning raves for this hilarious, obscene comedy. Prospects: Bright • R • 117 mins.

They must deal not only with a new form of zombie but also other human survivors. The sequel to the beloved comedy, Zombieland: Double Tap should be a load of fun. Harrelson, Stone, Eisenberg and Breslin have brilliant chemistry, and the writing and directing for the series is sharp. Prospects: Bright • R • 99 mins.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “We can’t change anything until we get some fresh ideas, until we begin to see things differently,” wrote Aries psychologist James Hillman. I agree. And that’s very good news for you Aries people. In my view, you are more attracted to and excited by fresh ideas than any other sign of the zodiac. That’s why you have the © by Rob Brezsny potential to become master initiators of transformation. One of my favorite types of plot twists in your life story occurs when you seek out fresh ideas and initiate transformations not only in your own behalf, but also for those you care about. I bet the coming weeks will bring at least one of those plot twists.
Free Will Astrology
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Metaphorically speaking, Taurus, you are now crossing a bridge. Behind you is the intriguing past; in front of you, the even more intriguing future. You can still decide to return to where you came from. Or else you could pick up your pace, and race ahead at twice the speed. You might even make the choice to linger on the bridge for a while; to survey the vast vistas that are visible and contemplate more leisurely the transition you’re making. Only you know what’s best for you, of course. But if you asked me, I’d be in favor of lingering on the bridge for a while.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): As I write this, I’m sitting in a café near two women at another table. One sports a gold cashmere headscarf and pentagram necklace. The other wears a dark blue pantsuit and a silver broach that’s the glyph for Gemini the Twins. HeadScarf shuffles a deck of Tarot cards and asks PantSuit what she’d like to find out during
the divination she is about to receive. “I would very much like you to tell me what I really really want,” PantSuit says with a chuckle. “I’m sure that once I find out that big secret, I’ll be able to accomplish wonders.” I hope the rest of you Geminis will be on a similar mission in the coming weeks. Do whatever it takes to get very clear about what you want most.
making big breakthroughs with my own demons — giving them the attention they crave without caving in to their outrageous demands — and for now I need to work on stabilizing our new relationship. I can’t risk bringing extra demons into the mix.” I suspect this is an accurate description of what could be happening for you, Virgo.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In ancient holy texts from India, soma was said to be a drink that enhanced awareness and alertness. According to modern scholars, it may have been a blend of poppy, ephedra and cannabis. In Norse mythology, the beverage called the Mead of Suttungr conferred poetic inspiration and the ability to solve any riddle. One of its ingredients was honey. In Slavic folklore, raskovnik is an herb with the magic power to unlock what’s locked and uncover hidden treasures. It’s not a four-leaf clover, but resembles it. I invite you Libras to fantasize about using these three marvels. To do so will potentize your imagination, thereby boosting the cosmic forces that will be working in your favor to enhance your awareness, confer inspiration, solve riddles, unlock what’s locked, and find hidden treasures.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Ancient Greek philosopher Socrates was meandering through an Athenian marketplace, gazing at the appealing and expensive items for sale. “How many things there are in this world that I do not want,” he exclaimed with satisfaction. I recommend you cultivate that liberated attitude. Now is a perfect time to celebrate the fact that there are countless treasures and pleasures you don’t need in order to be charmed and cheerful about your life. For extra credit, add this nuance from Henry David Thoreau: People are rich in proportion to the number of things they can afford to let alone.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I invite you to try this exercise. Imagine that one springtime you grow a garden filled with flowers that rabbits like to nibble: petunias, marigolds, gazanias and pansies. This is a place whose only purpose is to give gifts to a wild, sweet part of nature. It’s blithely impractical. You do it for your own senseless, secret joy. It appeals to the dreamy lover of life in you. Got all that, Leo? Now, in accordance with current astrological omens, I suggest you actually try to fulfill a fantasy comparable to that one in the coming weeks.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): My Virgo friend Lola got a text-message from her Scorpio buddy Tanya. “Why don’t you come over and chill with me and my demons? It’ll be entertaining, I promise! My inner jerks are howlingly funny tonight.” Here’s what Lola texted back: “Thanks but no thanks, sweetie. I’ve been

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Inventor Buckminster Fuller (1895–1983) was a visionary genius in numerous fields, including architecture, design, engineering and futurism. In the course of earning 40 honorary doctorates, he traveled widely. It was his custom to wear three watches, each set to a different time: one to the zone where he currently was, another to where he had recently departed and a third to where he would journey next. “I know that I am not a category,” he wrote. “I am not a thing — a noun. I seem to be a verb.” I recommend his approach to you in the coming weeks, Scorpio. Be a verb! Allow your identity to be fluid, your plans adjustable, your ideas subject to constant revision.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Art is good for my soul precisely because it reminds me that we have souls in the first place,” said actress Tilda Swinton. How about you, Sagittarius? What reminds you that you have a soul in the first place? Beloved animals? Favorite music? A stroll amidst natural wonders? Unpredictable, fascinating sexual experiences? The vivid and mysterious dreams you have at night? Whatever stimuli bring you into visceral communion with your soul, I urge you to seek them out in abundance. It’s Soul-Cherishing and Soul-Enhancing Time for you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The coming weeks will be a favorable time to arrange a series of high-level meetings between your body, mind and soul. You might even consider staging an extravagant conference-like festival and festival-like conference. The astrological omens suggest that your body, mind and soul are now primed to reveal choice secrets and tips to each other. They are all more willing and eager than usual to come up with productive new synergies that will enable each to function with more panache and effectiveness.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “I believe in inhabiting contradictions,” writes Aquarian author and activist Angela Davis. “I believe in making contradictions productive, not in having to choose one side or the other side. As opposed to choosing either or choosing both.” I think Davis’ approach will work well for you in the coming weeks. It’s not just that the contradictions will be tolerable; they will be downright fertile, generous and beneficent. So welcome them; honor them; allow them to bless you with their tricky opportunities and unexpected solutions.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean pianist Frédéric Chopin (1801–1849) was a poetic genius whose music was full of sweetness and grace. “Without equal in his generation,” said more than one critic. Today, more than 170 years after his death, his work remains popular. Recently an Italian sound designer named Remo de Vico created an original new Chopin piece that featured all 21 of the master’s piano nocturnes being played simultaneously. (You can hear it here: tinyurl.com/NewChopin.) As you might imagine, it’s a gorgeous mess, too crammed with notes to truly be enjoyable, but interesting nevertheless. I’ll counsel you to avoid a similar fate in the coming weeks, Pisces. It’s fine to be extravagant and expansive and mulitfaceted; just don’t overdo it. HOMEWORK: “I have thousands of opinions still — but that is down from millions — and, as always, I know nothing.” So said Harold Brodkey. And you?

News of the Weird compiled by Andrews McMeel Syndication
Unclear on the Concept Jennifer Colyne Hall, 48, of Toney, Alabama, was distraught when she called the Limestone County Sheriff ’s Office dispatch on Oct. 2, so officers were sent to call on her. Public information officer Steven Young told The News Courier the officers first approached Hall’s landlord, who told them she had been acting strangely and hinted she might be on drugs. When the officers spoke to Hall, she produced a clear bag from a baby wipes container and told them, “I want this dope tested” because she feared the methamphetamines in the bag had possibly been tainted with another drug. Asked if she had consumed the drugs, Hall said she had, but couldn’t remember when. She was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance and was held at the Limestone County Jail.
Buschow told the Los Angeles Times. As the group retreated, the woman pursued them in her pickup truck to be sure they were leaving and pointed her gun at them. One man tried to talk with her, but she couldn’t hear him, so he opened the door of her truck and grabbed the gun barrel. “In the process,” Buschow said, “she fell out of the truck and unbeknownst to the man, the truck was still in gear, so the rear wheel drove over her leg, continued to roll and went off a cliff.” She was airlifted to a hospital with injuries to her ankle, and neither party wanted to press charges, so no arrests were made. • An unidentified man in Phoenix became angry at his upstairs neighbors for making too much noise on Oct. 6. He first tried banging on their door around 11:20 p.m., but then returned to his apartment and fired several shots into his ceiling — one of which apparently ricocheted and hit him in the face, according to the Arizona Republic. Although no one else was injured, the shooter was taken to the hospital in extremely critical condition.
Overreactions Inexplicable • A front-door camera in McDowell County, North Carolina, twice captured a bold loiterer on the home’s porch: a naked man. Sheriff ’s officers arrested Denny Lynn Dover, 45, in early October after identifying him by his distinctive tattoos, The McDowell News reported. Dover had visited the home in April and again on Oct. 3, when he attempted to break in. He was charged with first-degree burglary and held on $50,000 bond. Dover isn’t new to a life of crime: He also has convictions for arson, drug possession, larceny, peeping and breaking in. • The Louisville Courier Journal reported that Knox County (Kentucky) Sheriff ’s deputies arrested Barrett L. Sizemore, 48, of Heidrick, on Oct. 4 for theft of a honey wagon — a septic cleaning truck — in Barbourville. The truck went missing on Oct. 2, and authorities located it in a barn in Laurel County, not far from where Sizemore was arrested. He is being held on a $10,000 bond.
Unintended Consequences • An unidentified 89-year-old woman who has had previous trouble with trespassers on her remote property outside Piru, California, was hospitalized on Oct. 5 after her attempt to shoo away a group of nine people went wrong. After spotting the interlopers, she warned them away and fired two rounds from her rifle into a hillside to “emphasize her point,” Ventura County Sheriff ’s Office Capt. Eric
An apparent dispute over pigeons at Pershing Field in Jersey City, New Jersey, has resulted in Charles Lowy, 69, facing eight years in prison for reckless manslaughter, according to The Jersey Journal. In April 2018, Lowy stabbed former schoolteacher Anthony Bello, 77, to death after they argued about Lowy’s habit of feeding pigeons in the park. Lowy’s attorney called Bello the “mayor of the block” and said he was the aggressor in the altercation, and that Lowy had stabbed him in self-defense. Hudson County Superior Court Judge Sheila Venable sentenced Lowy on Oct. 4; he must serve at least 85 percent of his sentence.
Oops! • Tina Springer, 44, was the passenger in a car driven by Brent Parks, 79, as they stopped to let a train pass in Enid, Oklahoma, on Oct. 3. Parks’ yellow Labrador retriever chose that moment to jump from the back seat onto the center console, causing a .22 caliber handgun stored underneath to discharge and strike Springer in the left thigh. The Enid News & Eagle reported that Parks, whom Springer is a caretaker for, told police he doesn’t usually carry the weapon loaded. Springer was taken to a hospital for treatment. • Homeowner Linda Taylor-Whitt of Lynwood, Illinois, and her family returned home from a birthday dinner on Oct. 5 to find “a wheel coming through my washroom ceiling” in an upstairs bath-

room. Taylor-Whitt, who lives about a mile from Lansing Municipal Airport, told the Chicago Tribune she “didn’t know what kind of wheel it was at first. I guessed it was an airplane wheel,” she said. But it was from a helicopter, according to Amy Summers of SummerSkyz Inc., a helicopter flight school in Lansing. When Summers heard about the incident, she knew she’d found the ground-handling wheel she’d been missing, and called Taylor-Whitt to apologize. The wheel had apparently been left on one of the company’s helicopters during flight and fell off. Taylor-Whitt was relieved the damage wasn’t worse: “I am glad — thank you, Lord — that it was a wheel instead of a plane because it could’ve been so bad.”
Bright Idea Springfield, Missouri, authorities have come up with a clever campaign to curb pet waste in the downtown area, the Associated Press reported. Piles of dog poop are being tagged with recycled paper flags sporting messages such as: “Is this your turd? ‘Cuz that’s absurd,” and “This is a nudge to pick up the fudge.” The city noted it spends $7,500 a year to pick up 25 pounds of waste per week from downtown parks and parking lots.
Awesome! Open your wallet: If you have enough scratch, you can buy a customized pair of Nike Air Max 97s dubbed “Jesus Shoes” from a Brooklyn, New York, company called MSCHF. Introduced online Oct. 8, the shoes have 60ccs of holy water from the Jordan River injected into the soles “so you can literally walk on water,” noted Cosmopolitan, a crucifix in the laces, red insoles harkening to Vatican traditions,
and a Matthew 14:25 inscription. They are also scented with frankincense and sport a godly white and light blue colorway. The Jesus Shoes originally sold for $1,425, but are now fetching anywhere from $2,000 to upwards of $11,000.
Least Competent Driver In downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on Oct. 8, an unnamed elderly driver managed to flip her Honda Accord and injure herself, her passenger and several pedestrians while trying to … parallel park. According to CTV News, as she tried to back into a parking spot, the driver accelerated, jumping the curb and slamming into an immigration office before coming to rest on the sidewalk. Vancouver Police Sgt. Aaron Roed called the incident “a strange accident” and wished all the injured “a speedy recovery.”
Chutzpah! Sure, there are probably plenty of stolen goods for sale on Facebook Marketplace, but according to authorities in Oklahoma City, Vicki Treaster, 36, went big: She’s been charged with stealing a metal garage and posting it for sale for $1,500. Coincidentally, the original owner was browsing Marketplace when he saw Treaster’s ad, which included photos of two people taking his building apart, and notified police. KOCO reported Treaster changed her story several times when questioned by police about how she came to own the building, according to court documents. Treaster was charged in early October with grand larceny. Send your weird news items to WeirdNewsTips@amuniversal.com. © copyright 2019 Andrews McMeel Syndication

The Inside Word
Kids Will Be Kids
by Bill Sells
How many words two letters or more can you make in five minutes from the letters in FEISTINESS? These days, if someone or something is feisty we say they are spirited or quarrelsome. But strangely enough, its original meaning in Middle English is “farting dog.” This comes from the archaic English fist (having nothing to do with the hand). A “mongrel” or “cur” were said to be overly fisting (farting) dogs, and since they are also notoriously combative, they were then said to be feisty. Scoring: Words of 2 to 3 letters 1 point; 4 to 5 letters 2 points; 6 letters or more 3 points. When playing with others, cross out the words you share. Your score is the remaining words.
