Here Comes the Season to Be Merry The Season’s Bounty is at your fingertips s we edge into the winter holidays, I’m all for celebrating. Bring on the lights: stock up on candles, lay the fire, untangle the strands. Unbox your household icons. Gather the evergreens. Touch up the season’s grayscale with highlights of red and green. Mother Nature deserves a rest, and she is going to sleep. All the liveliness we’ll get this time of year depends on us. Fortunately, it’s a challenge many of us are up to. So many of us that our from the winter holiday celebrations take many forms. Religious Editor Christians await the annual rebirth of Christ. Advent, the four-week ritual of preparation, begins Sunday, December 1, leading to a nativity honored in the many different ways of a multicultural nation. Cultural Christians await the visit of Santa Claus, who comes our way from a very different culture than the Middle Eastern desert nativity in a manger. (You’ll hear about Santa’s origins in a December interview.) Jewish families count down to Chanukah, beginning Sunday, December 22, this year, and its eight nights of celebratory illumination and gift-giving. African Americans may find their reason to celebrate in Kwanzaa, beginning Thursday, December 26. Druids celebrate the sun’s turning point back to light, a phenomenon on the winter solstice, with the sun standing still this year at 11:19pm on Saturday, December 21. Many of us bring in a Christmas tree for its evergreen symbolism — even though that custom comes to us from long-ago pagans. Chesapeake Country has room for all of us and all our celebrations, and for that I’m glad. At the simplest level, it’s grand because we all get to have so much fun, in so many different ways, all while playing our part in rolling the year forward into hope. If you, like me, like to celebrate this season, this is the week you’ve been waiting for. Tucked inside this week’s Bay Weekly is Season’s Bounty, Chesapeake Country’s month-long calendar of ways to celebrate. It’s so full of good times that even calendar editor Kathy Knotts — who spends many weeks preparing it for you — is feeling festive. Ho! Ho! Ho!

The Value of a Newspaper
Bay Weekly’s Wheel of Memory
Not quite worth its weight in gold … but still Normally you have to die to hear all the good things people saved to say about you. When they finally get around to it, it falls on deaf, in fact dead, ears. Bay Weekly has broken the rule. In the weeks since we announced our year’s-end retirement, you’ve told us what we’ve meant to you in our 27-year run. And here we are, alive and alert to your praise.
This week my wheel of memory turns to two writers of Bay Weekly longevity Eric Smith and Ariel Brumbaugh. Eric and Ariel tie for our youngest writers, for both were junior reporters in our very earliest days, when they would have been maybe six years old. Both neighborhood kids, they turned their investigative imaginations and fascination with words to reporting and writing stories for our pages, often for the wonderful double-spread Not Just for Kids feature we ran back then. I recruited them when they came to my house to investigate whether our cats were right- or left-pawed.
“We’ve learned so much about Chesapeake Country through the New Bay Times and Bay Weekly stories by smart, articulate and sometimes amusing writers. We all loved Bay Gardener Dr. Frank Gouin and his earth-friendly knowledge and advice. Best wishes to all who helped Bay Weekly grow into the go-to source of information.” –Steve Kullen, Governor’s Run
“Sandra Martin gave at the office year after year after year advocating for the Bay and Bay community. She raised up a bounty of aspiring journalists, sharing her talent and giving opportunity to those that desired the tradecraft and cared and shared about the Bay culture. My wife and I are proud to contribute to the legacy of Sandra and her husband Bill, a supportive husband and journalist.” –Mike Shay and V.K. Holzendorf, Red Top Farm, West River
“The Bay Weekly has been such an important part of my life in Southern Anne Arundel County. Journalism that was truly respectable. Embodying values of community learning and exploration, opening horizons, diversity. A true force for good. I wish Sandra and all of the gang at the Bay Weekly much success in their future endeavors. Thank you so much!” –Jeannie Egan, Churchton
“Sandra, Bill and family have demonstrated a total commitment to our community and our watershed. They have been professional colleagues and neighborhood friends. They deserve the very best.” –Mick Blackistone and Cindy Thames, Tracys Landing
“We have been so lucky to read the Bay Weekly all these years. The community feeling it created through positive news will stay with us. Also, Sandra taught me how to write.” –Eric Smith, Fairhaven Cliffs
Topping your appreciation is this 19th century poem discovered by journalist friend Barclay Walsh:
To serve thy generation, this thy fate: “Written in water,” swiftly fades thy name; But he who loves his kind does, first and late, A work too great for fame

Chesapeake Children Help the Needy Holiday shop now open at Bunting Online Auctions ike the Ireland boys you read about last week [Teens Donate 4-H Hog to Charity: www.bayweekly.com/node/ 51320], more Chesapeake Country kids are using what’s close at hand to lend a helping hand. A holiday store run by children is now open at Bunting Online Auctions in Dunkirk. Proceeds from the shop will benefit Project Echo, a non-profit that provides shelter to the homeless in southern Maryland. The kids are also collecting new socks to be given to the homeless in Calvert County. The holiday shopkeepers, ages seven to 15, are the children and grandchildren of Bunting staff. “We are always looking for ways to give back,” says owner Dawn Bunting. “This store gives kids the opportunity to give back and teaches them how to run a business.” The kids got the shop set up and ready to open. Ten of them gathered over the weekend to open items, identify them, price and stage them. Charlotte Thon, 13, finds the store important because, she said, “I know it will bring Christmas joy to the community, and I feel happiest this time of year.” Currently, the costliest item for sale is a holiday floral arrangement
L
priced at $12 — but valued at $60. “Most of the items are priced at $2 or $3,” Bunting said. “I think this is a neat way to raise some money for the people of Calvert County that need a little help this Christmas,” added Max Bunting, 15. The stock will stay fresh throughout the season. What’s on display at any time represents only about onefourth of what’s available. The young shopkeepers will take part in all aspects of running the store. “The kids will take turns running the shop on Friday afternoons and all day on Saturday,” Dawn Bunting said. “During other times, our employees will run it.” Instead of weekly online auctions, the holiday shop is on location inside the auction house. The store — which will be open through December 8 and is cash only — is open during normal business hours. The idea for the new holiday store was planted in the spring. “We were cleaning out houses in April and came across quite a few Christmas items,” Bunting said. Lending a hand in the community is part of doing business for Bunting and her team. A portion of all consignment proceeds is shared with those in need.

If you’re a local non-profit and in need of funds, consider applying for a Crab Feast grant. Splitting last year’s $45,000 available for grants were 21 organizations, including Annapolis Green, the Anne Arundel County Food Bank and Hospice of the Chesapeake Foundation. “We turned right around and used our $1,865 from the 2018 Crab Feast fund on the 2019 Crab Feast ZeroWaste program,” says Annapolis Green’s Elvia Thompson. “That has included changing what is purchased to the kinds of material that are recyclable to arranging for waste disposal and pickup of recyclables and compostables.” Rotary asks that organizations seeking grants apply for the actual project cost, accepted in any amount up to the maximum of $4,000. Grant requests are accepted through 5pm Nov. 30. Keep your responses to each question under 100 words and attach your 501(c)3 letter of determination to your application. Online applications are preferred, but mailed requests are accepted: www.annapolisrotary.org/application.

Way Downstream … Is massive sea creature a Chessie ancestor? esearchers in Poland recently announced discovery of what’s left of a pliosaur, a fierce predator that patrolled the oceans 150 million years ago, in the Jurassic period. Paleontologists working a cornfield in the Holly Cross Mountains in central Poland also found bones from a second ocean creature, this one with a long neck, as well as bones of ancient turtles and fossilized teeth three inches wide. They described their findings in the Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association. We in Chesapeake land, of course, have our Chessie, a sea creature that has gained the status of an icon over the years since the first sighting in the 1930s. Just since the late 1970s, Chessies are said to have been spotted near Calvert Cliffs State Park, off Kent Island and as far north as the Patapsco River. In 2014, two people claimed to have seen an undulating snake-like creature in the Magothy River that they guessed was 25 to 30 feet long.

In Poland, the creature’s length was estimated at 33 feet. The researchers noted that the fearsome pliosaur had its place atop the food chain, feasting on anything that swam — or tumbled into the drink. That might include perhaps the most famous of all the creatures of the age, the T. Rex. In fact, early studies concluded that a pliosaurs’ massive jaws were more than four times more powerful than the chompers of a T. Rex. We’re just playing it safe here, but to Chessie spotters out there we would advise you to whip out your cell phone cameras fast and then exit with throttle completely forward. –Bill Lambrecht

n winter, birds that are displaced by severe cold in the far north don’t find the Chesapeake Bay area so bad a place. Unusually, one of the common visitors is a flycatcher, the phoebe. Flycatchers are a class of bird that are acrobatic fliers with long fine feathers around their beaks that help them capture insects from the air. In Maryland, they vary from the least flycatcher to the much larger eastern kingbird. Occasionally, the elegant and beautiful scissor-tailed flycatcher will show up in the summer. Phoebes are medium-sized flycatchers with slightly yellow breasts, dark upper and lower bills, dark backs and a habit of not being able to sit still: They like to wag their tails up and down. They also have a very distinctive soft song. They frequently live close to people and are very approachable. If you get too close, they tend to politely fly ahead to another perch. They do nest in Maryland and seem to gravitate to rocky ledges or structures like bridges. I have frequently found nests behind the overhang of waterfalls. The nests, made by the female, are a base of mud with fillers like dry grass. Usually jammed into a small nest are three or four young that need to be able to fly before making the long drop off the nest’s edge. When they leave the nest, the young can be seen sitting lined up on a branch waiting
I
their turn to be fed. By the end of the summer, they are ready to move out on their own. In winter, flying insects are not too common except for occasional moths and flies on warm days. So the phoebes supplement their diets with fruit and berries. P.S. Don’t give up on hummingbirds. Birding expert and musician Dan Haas asked that I leave my hummingbird feeders up through the cold weather in case there are rare stragglers blown into our area. Last year, a locally rare calliope hummingbird visited Annapolis in the winter. ﵭ

A Tough Year for Oysters A Bay Weekly conversation with Allison Tracy of Smithsonian Environmental Research Center interviewed by Sandra Olivetti Martin
ysters are a victim in the climate crisis, by most accounts, and ours in Chesapeake Bay waters are feeling it like their bivalve brethren elsewhere. West Coast oysters are hurting from changing ocean chemistry. In New Orleans’ French Quarter, eateries are scrambling to live up to their reputations as Gulf of Mexico oysters die, smothered by the billions of gallons of Midwestern freshwater rolling down the Mississippi River. In Maryland and Virginia, freshwater also is the culprit, diluting the salinity oysters need. For long stretches, the Chesapeake has resembled a big farm pond absent the salt that fuels oyster growth. Chesapeake watermen lost one day a week of work under new limits imposed by the Department of Natural Resources. Oyster farmers saw nearly a one-fourth-production decline last year — and that was before the problems this year. Horn Point Laboratory on the Eastern Shore, one of the East Coast’s primary hatcheries, turned out just a fraction of the spat of recent years, an ominous sign for the future. At the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center in Edgewater, Allison Tracy is researching ways to gird the Chesapeake oyster for an uncertain future in her PhD postdoctoral fellowship project called Working Land and Seascapes. Read on for an edited discussion with Bay Weekly about her work and the fate this year of the Chesapeake’s iconic oyster.
O
Allison Tracy The freshwater we had at the beginning of the summer was really tough and caused a lot of problems for scientists and the state’s efforts at management restoration and, of course, for aquaculture operations and for watermen. It was a tough year because of the low salinity, for sure. This is something to consider for the health of oysters going forward. Bay Weekly Do we know yet how bad the season will turn out to be? Allison Tracy They’ll have to see what the numbers are at the end of the season (which runs through next spring). There can be good parts of the season and bad parts of the season. I know that the salinity has recovered. But the problem is with the bad summer we had. It will be interesting to see how that shows up in the numbers this year. It also could show up more strongly in future years. Bay Weekly Why do oysters need salt? Allison Tracy They can only survive and grow at a certain level of salinity, and the water can’t be too fresh. They also need a certain level of salinity to reproduce, roughly 10

Bay Weekly What has the low salinity meant for restoration? Allison Tracy The state of Maryland does a lot of planting of spat on shell, and if they don’t have it because oysters aren’t reproducing in hatcheries or in the field, they can’t proceed with restoration. They couldn’t plant as much spat on sites as they had hoped. Horn Point Laboratory had some trouble. They recovered at the end of the summer, but they got a lot less out of the summer than they were planning to. Bay Weekly How did the Maryland Grow Oysters program — in which people living along the water work as oyster gardeners — fare in this difficult season? Allison Tracy I talked to people who usually participate in the program who just weren’t able to do it this year because the water was too fresh. It’s a great program, but I think they had trouble getting spat to potential growers because there wasn’t enough spat for restoration. Bay Weekly Hadn’t Crassostrea virginica (the Bay oyster) been making a nice comeback? Allison Tracy Yes. In the records we see a really strong impact of Dermo and MSX in the past that was getting relatively better recently. And there were some particularly strong years, 2013 and 2012. It would be great to get some of those strong years soon.
Bay Weekly People are getting ready to eat oysters this holiday season, perhaps oyster dressing at Thanksgiving. What are we seeing out there after all those heavy rains last spring and early summer?
Come Get Happy!
parts per thousand to happily spawn. Here in Edgewater it was as low as four parts at some points. There were levels of four, six and eight at places in the Bay usually salty enough for oysters. At the end of the summer, there wasn’t much rainfall, and some of the operations began to recover.
Bay Weekly There was a serious push earlier this century to start

planting a Chinese variety, ariakensis, in the Chesapeake. Was it good that we didn’t follow that recommendation by some politicians? Allison Tracy There are a variety of opinions, but we think it was a good thing we didn’t do that. Ideally, we can use the toolkit we have to restore our native oyster populations. Bay Weekly Tell us about what you’re working on … Allison Tracy There are two main projects. I’m looking at historical data sets in Maryland and Virginia to try to combine the two and get an idea of Bay-wide trends. By looking back and trying to understand what’s happened with oysters in the last few decades and understanding why, we might be able to know more about how the system works. We can look around the Bay and see where oysters have done well. There’s a lot of variability even within Maryland and within Virginia, and we can try to see what the magic recipe for oysters might be. We’re also surveying oyster reefs and looking at vertical habitat around the Bay. It’s important to know what these reefs look like, not just how many oysters are on them. We think that reefs with greater vertical structures are better reefs. There’s been some research that shows increased reproduction of the oysters and better persistence of reefs over time. Bay Weekly Is it the consensus that the recent rains and so much wacky weather are related to climate change? Allison Tracy It’s hard to pin any particular rainfall or freshwater influx on climate change. But according to climate change projections, we know that the Chesapeake Bay is expected to become warmer and wetter and have more rainfall and more of these issues with fresh water. ﵭ

Calvert’s Barn Quilt Trail Tour the county from Hole in the Barn Door to Mariner's Compass by Bill Sells
alvert County’s mysterious new trail is not hidden, but you need a map or a guide to find and follow its course. Along the trail in plain sight are 17 wooden-framed images each with a design painted in an array of color combinations. Each has its own designation, like, Mariner’s Compass, Sawtooth Star or Farmer’s Daughter. The designs are so different that, despite being mostly fashioned on 8by-8 or 4-by-4-foot frames, they don’t seem to have a central theme. What are these squares affixed to the sides of barns or nailed to posts and walls near places of note from North Beach to Solomons Island? “The Barn Quilt Trail links the history of Maryland’s birthplace in Calvert County with the art of quilting, the importance of family farms and the abundance of the Chesapeake Bay,” said Sue Mills of Chesapeake Beach, director of the trail and a board member of the sponsoring Arts Council of Calvert County. The patterns you’ll see along this quilt trail are old. They’re drawn from the designs traditionally sewn from old fabric to keep beds and sleepers warm or painted onto Pennsylvanian barns since the first German-American barns went up. Quilt trails, however, are a relatively new phenomena. The idea is attributed to Donna Sue Groves, who in 2001 replicated her mother’s quilt design on wood on the family barn in Adams County, Ohio. Since then, the idea has become stitched into the fabric of America with more than 13,000 painted quilts displayed across the country. Calvert is the first county in Southern Maryland to have a trail and the fourth in the state
C
behind Garrett, Carroll and Harford. “It’s the perfect public art project to promote tourism,” said Arts Council President Harriet Yaffe. “It gives all of us here a tremendous sense of pride knowing that Calvert County is now a part of this wonderful national tradition.” Mills’ idea for a quilt trail began in 2009 when, she said, “a friend told me about her visit to the Garrett County Barn Quilt Trail and wondered why Calvert didn’t have one. I introduced the idea to the Arts Council right then, but I didn’t have the time to see it through. When I retired in 2015, I could finally focus my attention on getting it off the ground. It’s been growing ever since.” The first square, Hole in the Barn Door, is on Fred and Esther Cox’s barn at Mulberry Hill Farm in Huntingtown. Karla Sisson, a close friend of Mrs. Cox, designed the quilt with a tobacco leaf centerpiece, echoing the Calvert County flag. Mills and sister artist Janet Jones of North Beach painted the square. “It was a beginning,” said Mills. “Now there are 17 (and more to come) — each with a distinct design and special story. Quilting enthusiasts from across the country have already commented on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/CBQT2015) about their planned visits to Calvert, and hosts have reported seeing a steady influx of people visiting their squares and asking about the trail. It’s all very rewarding.” To follow the trail begin at the website at calvertbarnquilttrail.org and click on Where Are We? for an interactive map showing the locations with a picture and description of each quilt.

So far, the trail stretches from Chesapeake’s Bounty at the northern tip of North Beach to Annmarie Gardens in Solomons. The site also has an FAQ
that answers the questions of who can get a square and how. “We are sure the trail will be of interest not only to the local community but to those outside of Calvert, who will be enticed to come and take a scenic drive to discover our roadside gems, eat in our great restaurants and wander our shops and galleries,” said Hilary Dailey, of the County Department of Economic Development. ﵭ

Weed Warriors Waging a fight against Japanese stiltgrass by Matthew Liptak
icrostegium vimineum. It’s a mouthful to say. A more common name for this uninvited guest to the Bay region’s forest floors is Japanese stiltgrass. On the first day of November, a cool crisp fall day, three nature-lovers — including myself — inspected a local infestation of the grass in the Severn Run Natural Environmental Area in Gambrills. We stood in a forest clearing among the stiltgrass — which had already died off and gone to seed — and wondered what could be done about it. Earl ‘Bud’ Reaves, an Anne Arundel County forester; Natasha Shangold, volunteer coordinator for the Anne Arundel County Forestry Board; and I — the guy who started a Facebook group for the Severn Run NEA. Many of our county’s wild places have been co-opted by invasive species. They are outcompeting natives, diminishing biodiversity and weakening the overall health of the environment. The program Weed Resistance was created as a barrier to these conquering invaders. Every little action, every little step toward returning the ecology to a natural balance, can make a difference. Weed Resistance knows this. The program, started by Reaves three years ago, is offered by the Anne Arundel County Forestry Board in partnership with the county’s Watershed Protection and Restoration Program, South River
M
Federation (now part of the Arundel Rivers Federation), Watershed Stewards Academy, Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and Scenic Rivers Land Trust. Weed Resistance provides training and technical advice, tool caches and logistical support for projects to remove invasives. Anne Arundel’s Weed Warrior email list numbers 90, according to Shangold, but a smaller number are probably active. “Recruiting more volunteers would be great,” she said. “Very enthusiastic volunteers can become a squad leader and make their own work days. My job is to give them lots of support, give them the tools that they need. I mostly work in the public spaces.” As for the stiltgrass, the common forest invasive is thought to have come to America in the early 1900s as packing material in shipments of porcelain. The descendants flourished, challenging the native flora. Possible remediation has not been decided on. Eliminating just the small area inspected this month could take a few years because of the grasses’ success at sowing its seeds. Native wild animals have evolved with native vegetation, which offer food. “It helps them survive,” Shangold said. “With the invasives, the animals can’t survive as well. Their populations suffer from it. As climate change increases these natives are being outcompeted by invasives because the invasives have a longer growing period.” Learn more at www.anne-arundelweed-resistance.org. The Facebook group Friends of Severn Run Natural Environmental Area welcomes new members. ﵭ

Keeping Our Capital City above Water Environment and history will shape Annapolis City Dock 2024 by Warren Lee Brown
magine a visit to the Annapolis City Dock five years from now. If now continues unto then, that jewel of our capital city National Historic Landmark District — called “one of the most intact and authentic colonial towns in the entire nation” by Preservation Maryland — will be a parking lot that floods with evergreater frequency. However if the latest ambitious vision comes to pass, City Dock will be a model of and for creative re-development, sensitivity to historic values and resilience to future flooding. Getting to such a place won’t have been quick or easy. Just last year, City Dock appeared at the top of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s list of 11 Most Endangered Historic Places in the U.S. What earned our capital city that dubious distinction was a proposal to rezone portions of the Colonial Annapolis Historic District, including City Dock. Preservationists panned that plan as one that would “damage the area’s qual-
I
ity of life and heritage tourism economy, as well as permanently diminish its charm and unparalleled views.” Like that plan, efforts to re-envision and redevelop City Dock have generated lots of controversy and, until recently, not much progress. This latest plan is different: In 2018 an urban land institute panel of experts developed a suite of inspirational ideas. These led to a Consensus Action Plan released at the end of October. It was developed as a collaboration between Historic Annapolis and the city. Ninety-two members representing just about everyone with an interest in the project made up the committee that did the work. Earlier efforts involved consultants working with city administrators. This time everyone had an opportunity to express their hopes and fears. Most important, people are reported to be feeling comfortable that they have been listened to. If the plan is approved and implemented, your visit in 2024 will feature: • Better water access for visitors and residents • A continuous waterfront promenade • A new 68,000-square-foot park • A performing and visual arts venue • Flexible spaces for local markets and seasonal events.
• The historic Burtis House docks devoted to active Bay use • Historic educational activities • Protection from flooding with elevated terraces and other deployable methods. Some parking will remain on City Dock, but most parking will be located in a rebuilt Hillman Garage, the first step in the Action Plan, on city streets and in other more distant garages. The big ticket is for the physical changes in City Dock, estimated to cost in the $50 million range. Funding discussions among the city, the governor’s office and the legislature are expected to begin in the months ahead. Some form of independent financing authority is being considered to support capital improvements
that are beyond the capacity of normal local funding sources. Meanwhile, over the next five years, Annapolis will become a better Chesapeake Bay Gateway. The aspect of the new City Dock will be managed by a partnership of Historic Annapolis, the National Park Service, the City of Annapolis and other partners, including the Chesapeake Conservancy. A new grant of $107,000 will provide better interpreting and connecting residents and visitors with Annapolis’ rich Chesapeake maritime heritage; improving public access to authentic cultural and natural resources and the Bay; and fostering stewardship of those resources by residents, visitors, organizations and the community. ﵭ

Can a Chip Help Your Cast? I used some shore time to find out
None of them really worked. An educated thumb, achieved through long experience, has been the only reliable device to prevent the dreaded backlash of the casting reel. The many minor technical features made available over the years have somewhat reduced the frequency of line snarls, but in the end it was always just you and your thumb. The angling terms backlash, birds nest, rats nest and spool overrun all mean the same thing: the heinous tangle of line a revolving spool, or casting reel, can generate during a cast when the spool spins excessively, feeding line out faster than line is being pulled out by the thrown weight. With its fixed spool, the spinning reel has no such problem. It is by design backlash-free. However, the casting reel compared to the spinning reel remains more accurate to throw because the angler can control distance and direction with thumb pressure on the turning spool. It can also handle heavier and a wider range of throw weights, can achieve superior distances, has a more robust and easily accessed drag system, can handle greater stresses in fish battles, does not experience the line twist inherent in spin tackle — and generally provides a superior angling platform. Except of course for that nasty spool over-run problem. Noting that the digital control had eliminated one line problem but reduced the distance of the cast by a fair margin, I dialed in the three level, and fired off another cast. Again with-
risk winds had kept me ashore, so the fallback was our community clubhouse field with my trusty sevenfoot mediumaction rod and a Sporting Life hookless threeq u a r t e r- o u n c e surface plug. My purpose was to see what all the hoopla was with the new digitally by Dennis Doyle controlled Shimano casting reel, the SLX DC 150 XG. The letters DC refer to digital control. A tiny computer mechanism in its spool controls spin. My first try with the borrowed reel on the maximum control setting of four sent my cast rocketing halfway to my target, 120 feet away. Then I heard the faint whirring of the reel spool as the internal resistance, generated by its computer chip, kicked in and settled the cast nicely to the ground about 25 feet short of the target. The digital spool controls had worked exactly as advertised. Hmmmm … I have used revolving-spool casting reels for over 50 years, have fished with all sorts of backlash-control features and have heard promises of countless, different models. I found they all had one thing in common.

The Shimano SLX DC 150 XG casting reel holds 150 yards of braided 20-pound line. The DC stands for digital chip. out any additional thumb pressure, the throw remained tangle-free and much closer to my max distance with that particular plug. Next I fired a hard cast at an angle to the ground about 40 feet away, emulating an attempt to skip a bait under overhanging trees. This is a high probability cast for over-runs because the lure speed can drop to zero fast. Again, there were no unpleasant surprises. Impressed I turned around and shot a firm, hard cast high and directly into the face of a sudden wind gust, a sure producer of a bird’s nest of at least medium proportions. A head wind can slow the velocity of the bait in flight almost immediately while the turning spool continues to spew out line at the original rate, the exact formula for a line snarl. The sensor immediately identified the situation and provided enough breaking effort to keep things under control. There were some loose coils, but they were easily cleared.

For bravers of the chill, some big rockfish are showing up, with a few big 30plus-inchers. Around the Bay Bridge, try bouncing big lip-hooked minnows on a two-ounce jig down deep. Not near the pilings, that's just a formula for losing gear on the debris-strewn bottoms. Try the transition areas (drop offs) just off the bridge and on the edges of the channels. Try live-lining small white perch if you can find them. In all cases rely on your fishfinders: The big guys show up well. Big perch, scarce all summer, are now collecting off of the Eastern Shore rockpile in 40 to 60 feet. Try them with bloodworms or small minnows.

Continuing on to control setting two, I had no trouble reaching my normal casting distance for my plug weight, about 120 feet or so. The effort still did not require any thumb attention until the lure touched down. Turning the spool setting to one seemed to make little additional difference. Then, with the sensor dial back on two, I purposely made some casting errors, such as snapping my wrist to cause excessive spool spin, next throwing down at the ground mere yards away, emulating an over-excited cast to fish breaking next to the boat. Usually these acts can be reel-line disasters. But with the chip in operation, no disabling tangles were experienced. My overall impression was surprised admiration. The Shimano Corporation is deeply invested in the sport fishing industry, and this new concept, the affordably priced low-profile Shimano SLX DC 150 XG, is a significant and notable step in tackle development. It is especially handy for the angler without casting-reel experience who wishes to function comfortably. ﵭ

Frozen II Thawing and slushy isney released Frozen in 2013 to praise as a smart princess movie. The film played with and subverted stereotypes and offered up some snappy songs while preserving the family values that THE Walt wanted OVIEGOER all his pictures to embody. The movie hauled in so much money that D i s n e y changed its theme parks to keep up Movie reviews by with demand. Diana Beechener If all this makes you hope for a fresh and inventive sequel, you should probably let it go. I had to. The sequel finds Queen Elsa of Arendelle (voiced by Idina Menzel) trying to be a good ruler. She loves her people and her family, and all have accepted her ice powers. Still, she’s unsatisfied. Worse, she hears a mysterious voice calling her from the north. She’s tempted to follow it and find if there are other magic people in the world, but she’s hampered by her duties. While Elsa dreams of exploring the mysteries of the north, Anna (Kristen Bell) seeks to keep all things the same and everyone she loves as close as possible. But change is inevitable, and a mysterious force falls upon Arendelle, shaking the ground and drying up the water. Terrified their kingdom will fall to this unknown power, the people prepare to leave. Amid all this, Elsa and Anna recall an enchanted forest in a bedtime story told by their parents. The forest was once home to indigenous people who lived on the land and saw magic in nature. When Arendelle reached out to these people, offering a truce so both kingdoms could flourish, there was a battle, and the enchanted forest shut itself off from the world. Now, it seems, the forest wants a reckoning. Anna, Elsa and the whole crew from the first movie head north, determined to save Arendelle and learn more

Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf, Anna and Sven leave Arendelle to travel to an ancient, autumn-bound forest of an enchanted land to find the origin of Elsa's powers in order to save their kingdom. about their kingdom’s past. The journey will test their bond as sisters, bring up hidden secrets of the past and feature a few snappy tunes you’ll likely hear ad nauseum on every kidfriendly radio station. Frozen II is a frustrating film. It offers a few interesting ideas but fails to follow through on any. At its core is a message Walt Disney would have approved of. Even if it’s hard, even if things look bleak, always do right. That’s a great lesson to teach kids. It’s too bad the movie isn’t interested in following through in the plot with that lesson. The movie flirts with reparations and restoring stolen native lands but ultimately allows magic to fix things because a real-world solution would require more than a singing snowman and a queen with ice powers. It preaches sacrifice in the name of what’s right, but no sacrifice is needed for things to work out. That’s the more disappointing by comparison, as Disney’s Zootopia crammed surprising depth into a movie about fuzzy animals confronting systemic racism. Characters are disappointing, too, as they don’t seem to grow much. Anna is still perky and steadfast, to the point of being obnoxious. Elsa is still a magical neurotic who just wants to be left alone (though she does get a kicky new hairdo to symbolize her further freedom). And Kristoff, well, Kristoff really has nothing to do here, and the movie seems to know it. Since it won’t make a bold political statement and it won’t allow its characters to grow in any significant ways,
just what does Frozen II do? You’ll get some pretty animation. There are funny moments with Olaf. The new songs aren’t as catchy, but kids will undoubtedly learn them and belt them from the backseat for months. There’s more action this time around, almost as if Disney was considering adding Elsa to the Marvel universe. Overall, the movie will surely be a blockbuster, but it’s hardly a classic. If you don’t have kids clamoring to see it, save yourself the money and check it out on Disney+ in a few months. Fair Animation • PG • 103 mins.

21 Bridges Detective Andre Davis (Chadwick Boseman) joins the hunt for a pair of
cop killers loose in New York City. The police close down Manhattan Island until they’re found, blocking off all 21 bridges. As violence erupts in the city, Davis learns that there may be more to the story than the official reporting. When he questions what’s up, things turn violent. Soon he must decide who his real enemy is. A violent cop thriller about corruption that’s filled with action, 21 Bridges is the sort of unimaginative potboiler you watch late at night when you don’t have the attention span to watch something more complex. This may be exactly the violent action film you need to release your pent up aggression before — or after — seeing your family at Thanksgiving. Prospects: Dim • R • 99 mins.
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood Lloyd Vogel (Matthew Rhys) is a journalist who knows humanity is flawed. When he’s assigned to profile beloved children’s television host Fred Rogers (Tom Hanks), he assumes he’ll be able to uncover a dark secret about the seemingly squeaky-clean man and write a juicy story. What Lloyd finds, however, is that Fred Rogers might be as kind as his image. This film about the power of goodness is based on the true story of the friendship between Rogers and journalist Tom Junod. Hanks is winning raves for his portrayal of Rogers. This movie should be a feel-good flick that’s well worth the ticket. Prospects: Bright • PG • 108 mins.

Free Will Astrology
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus social critic Bertrand Russell won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1950. He’s regarded as the founder of analytic philosophy and one of the 20th century’s premier intellectuals. But he went through a rough patch in 1940. He was adjudged “morally unfit” to accept his appointment as a professor at the City College of New York. The lawsuit that banned him from the job described him as being “libidinous, lustful, aphrodisiac and irreverent.” Why? Simply because of his liberated opinions about sexuality, which he had conscientiously articulated in his book Marriage and Morals. In our modern era, we’re more likely to welcome libidinous, lustful, aphrodisiac and irreverent ideas if they’re expressed respectfully, as Russell did. With that as a subtext, I invite you to update and deepen your relationship with your own sexuality in the coming weeks.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In her poem What the Light Teaches, Anne Michaels describes herself arriving at a lover’s house soaked with rain, “dripping with new memory.” She’s ready for “one past to grow out of another.” In other words, she’s eager to leave behind the story that she and her lover have lived together up until now—and begin a new story. A similar blessing will be available for you in the coming weeks, Gemini: a chance for you and an intimate partner or close ally to launch a new chapter of your history together.
provide a steady state of bliss or security only keeps us stuck in wishful fantasy, undermining the real power of the love— which is to transform us.” Are you ready to be transformed by love, Leo?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Burrow down as deep as you dare, Virgo. Give yourself pep talks as you descend toward the gritty core of every matter. Feel your way into the underground, where the roots meet the foundations. It’s time for you to explore the mysteries that are usually beneath your conscious awareness. You have a mandate to reacquaint yourself with where you came from and how you got to where you are now.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Some scientists deride astrology despite being ignorant about it. For example, they complain, The miniscule gravitational forces beaming from the planets can’t possibly have any effect on our personal lives. But the truth is that most astrologers don’t believe the planets exert influence on us with gravity or any other invisible force. Instead, we analyze planetary movements as evidence of a hidden order in the universe. It’s comparable to the way weather forecasters use a barometer to read atmospheric pressure but know that barometers don’t cause changes in atmospheric pressure. I hope this inspires you, Cancerian, as you develop constructive critiques of situations in your own sphere. Don’t rely on naive assumption and unwarranted biases. Make sure you have the correct facts before you proceed. If you do, you could generate remarkable transformations in the coming weeks.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s natural and healthy to feel both the longing to connect and the longing to be independent. Each of those urges deserves an honored place in your heart. But you may sometimes experience them as being contradictory; their opposing pulls may rouse tension. I bring this to your attention because I suspect that the coming weeks will be a test of your ability to not just abide in this tension, but to learn from and thrive on it. For inspiration, read these words by Jeanette Winterson. “What should I do about the wild heart that wants to be free and the tame heart that wants to come home? I want to be held. I don’t want you to come too close. I want you to scoop me up and bring me home at night. I don’t want to tell you where I am. I want to be with you.”
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): As you glide into the Season of Love, I’d love you to soak up wise counsel from the author bell hooks. (She doesn’t capitalize her name.) “Many people want love to function like a drug, giving them an immediate and sustained high,” she cautions. “They want to do nothing, just passively receive the good feeling.” I trust you won’t do that, Leo. Here’s more from hooks: “Dreaming that love will save us, solve all our problems or

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Beware of what disturbs the heart,” said Ibn Mas’ud, a companion of the prophet Mohammed. “If something unsettles your heart, then abandon it.” My wise Aries friend Artemisia has a different perspective. She advises, “Pay close attention to what disturbs the heart. Whatever has the © by Rob Brezsny power to unsettle your heart will show you a key lesson you must learn, a crucial task you’d be smart to undertake.” Here’s my synthesis of Ibn Mas’ud and Artemisia: Do your very best to fix the problem revealed by your unsettled heart. Learn all you can in the process. Then, even if the fix isn’t totally perfect, move on. Graduate from the problem for good.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The Louvre Museum in Paris displays 38,000 objects throughout its 18 acres of floor space. Among its most treasured thirteenth-century artworks is The Madonna and Child in Majesty Surrounded by Angels, a huge painting by Italian painter Cimabue. When a museum representative first acquired it in the 19th century, its price was five francs, or less than a dollar. I urge you to be on the lookout for bargains like that in the coming weeks. Something that could be valuable in the future may be undervalued now.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian performance artist Marina Abramovi observes that Muhammad, Buddha, Jesus and Moses “all went to the desert as nobodies and came back as somebodies.” She herself spent a year in Australia’s Great Sandy Desert near Lake Disappointment, leading her to exclaim that the desert is “the most incredible place, because there is nothing there

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Upcoming events may bedevil your mind. They may mess with your certainties and agitate your self-doubts. But if you want my view about those possibilities, they’re cause for celebration. According to my analysis of the astrological indicators, you will benefit from having your mind bedeviled and your certainties messed with and your self-doubts agitated. You may ultimately even thrive and exult and glow like a miniature sun. Why? Because you need life to gently but firmly kick your ass in just the right way so you’ll become alert to opportunities you have been ignoring or blind to.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Every writer I’ve ever known says that a key practice to becoming a good writer is to read a lot of books. So what are we to make of the fact that one of the 20th century’s most celebrated novelists didn’t hew to that principle? In 1936, three years before the publication of his last book, Aquarian-born James Joyce confessed that he had “not read a novel in any language for many years.” Here’s my take on the subject: More than any other sign of the zodiac, you Aquarians have the potential to succeed despite not playing by conventional rules. And I suspect your power to do that is even greater than usual these days.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it,” wrote Piscean novelist John Irving. In the coming weeks, Pisces, you will have the power to get clearer than ever before about knowing the way of life you love. As a bonus, I predict you will also have an expanded access to the courage necessary to actually live that way of life. Take full advantage!

News of the Weird compiled by Andrews McMeel Syndication
The Entrepreneurial Spirit About a year ago, Les and Paula Ansley of Mossel Bay, South Africa, stumbled upon a novel idea for a new type of spirit, which they call Indlovu Gin, the Associated Press reports. During a safari, they learned that elephants eat a wide variety of fruits and flowers, but digest less than a third of it. “As a consequence, in the elephant dung, you get the most amazing variety of these botanicals,” Les Ansley said. “Why don’t we let the elephants do the hard work of collecting all these botanicals and we will make gin from it?” Why, indeed? They collect the dung themselves, by hand, and describe their gin’s flavor as “lovely, wooded, almost spicy, earthy.” (Indlovu means elephant in the Zulu language.) Each bottle’s label notes where the dung was gathered and when. “Most people are very keen to actually taste it,” Ansley said. A bottle sells for about $32.
Fine Points of the Law After losing in district court, convicted killer Benjamin Schreiber took an unusual claim to the Iowa Court of Appeals, but was shut down again on Nov. 6, according to The Washington Post. Schreiber, 66, was sentenced to a life term in 1997, but in March 2015, he suffered a medical emergency in his prison cell that caused doctors to have to restart his heart five times. Schreiber thus claimed he had briefly died, and therefore he had served out his life sentence and should be released. The district judge didn’t buy it, though, saying the filing proved he was still alive, and the appeals court agreed, saying, “Schreiber is either alive, in which case he must remain in prison, or he is dead, in which case this appeal is moot.”
Higher Education A Dutch university now offers students a turn in the “purification grave,” a hole dug in the ground where students can lie down and reflect on their lives for up to three hours. The student chaplaincy at Radboud University initially offered the experience in 2009 as a temporary experiment, but due to increased demand, it’s back this year, according to Vice. Students are not allowed to bring their phones or a book with them into the grave. “You can see it as a special place of meditation: below you the earth, above you the sky,” the university website explains. “You will then automatically notice what is going
through your mind.” If you’re skittish about entering the grave, you can sit on the bench nearby. Radboud also offers a finals-season “crying room” and nap pods.
The Continuing Crisis Female employees in Japan who wear eyeglasses are seeing red after some companies there have reportedly banned eyewear for their women workers, according to the BBC. While some retailers have said women in glasses give a “cold impression,” the hashtag #glassesareforbidden has been trending, and Kumiko Nemoto, professor of sociology at Kyoto University of Foreign Studies, spoke out against the outdated policies: “It’s all about gender. It’s pretty discriminatory. … The company values the women’s appearance as being feminine and that’s the opposite to someone who wears glasses.” Japanese women have also rebelled against policies that require them to wear high heels.
Least Competent Criminal On Oct. 30, Hudson, Florida, resident Michael Psilakis, 21, lost $1,000 in a card game to an unnamed man, which a witness told police upset Psilakis, reported the Tampa Bay Times. When the man was reported missing, Pasco County Sheriff ’s deputies started their investigation with Psilakis, who told them the victim had dropped him off at his mother’s house after the card game, so when the man turned up dead in a burned-out Ford Taurus, police visited Psilakis’ mother. During her interview, Psilakis called his mother, according to court documents, and officers recorded the conversation. In it he told his mom he had burned his legs throwing gas on the car and they needed to coordinate their stories so he was coming right over. When he arrived, police found a stolen handgun in his car along with a cellphone containing internet searches for “can u shoot through a seat” and “how to treat burns.” Deputies arrested him on weapons charges on Nov. 2 and later added first-degree murder, grand theft of a motor vehicle and resisting arrest.
The Northern Echo, a newspaper in northeast England, is catching it from an area family after it ran an obituary on Nov. 10 for Charlie Donaghy, a local sports enthusiast and teacher — who is not dead yet. In fact, his son, Ian, reports that Charlie is “alive and well,” according to Fox News. The Echo published an apology the next day, but Ian posted on Facebook that “you can’t UNHEAR or

Cold Bright Idea Subhash Yadav, 42, of Jaunpur, India, visited a market to eat eggs with a friend, News18 reported on Nov. 4, but the two fell into an argument. To settle the dispute, police said, Yadav accepted a challenge to eat 50 eggs in exchange for 2,000 rupees. He ate 41 eggs, but just as he began to eat the 42nd, he collapsed, unconscious. He was rushed to the hospital but died a few hours later. Doctors claimed Yadav died of overeating, but family members would not comment.

Hot Springs, Arkansas, paramedic Lisa Darlene Glaze, 50, was arrested on Nov. 11 after she allegedly cut a 1.7-carat diamond ring off the finger of a dead woman and sold it to a local pawn shop. The patient, Gloria Robinson, had been transported to a medical facility on Oct. 16, where she later died. When her personal items were returned to her family, they noticed three of her rings were missing, according to arrest documents. KTHV reports two of the rings were found, but investigators say Glaze sold the third ring at Hot Springs Classic Gun and Pawn for $45, and the band had been cut. Robinson’s sister retrieved the ring from the pawn shop and had it appraised, revealing it was worth almost $8,000. Glaze was charged with felony theft and misdemeanor unlawful transfer of stolen property.
