The Best of Bay Weekly Favorites from 2019 I
never know where I’ve been until I look back to find out. The journey makes so many demands of its own. If that journey happens to be conceiving, creating, publishing and distributing 50 or so issues of a weekly newspaper, the papers receed into the distance of time like a line of saguaro cactuses overtaken, then passed, on a drive through the Sonora Desert. All their distinctive, memorable features blend into one stereotypic cactus. Or paper. Two weeks from now, I’ll from the have to attempt the time-penEditor etrating job of looking back on 27 years, 1,359 issues, of Bay Weekly. That’s a job I’m glad to postpone. This week’s Best of the Bay gives me the pleasantly manageable challenge of looking back over 2019 to see what we’ve done and done best.

The Bay Weekly Story: Will there be a surprise ending? very good story has an end. You want it to be full of drama and with a good resolution of all that’s come before. We hope we can provide you that, in what will be the final chapter of Bay Weekly as we know it. At the end of this year, Bay Weekly will retire. We’ve had a great run, told a wealth of tales, made a lifetime of friends and have a team that makes this one of the hardest decisions we’ve ever faced.

The show lasts only an hour with no intermission. The plot is quick-paced and the script is filled with familyfriendly humor. A couple of well-timed gags bring big laughs.

Colonial Players’ The Best Christmas Pageant Ever A quick-paced hour of family-friendly humor reviewed by Susan Nolan
N
eed a quick tutorial in the true meaning of Christmas? The Colonial Players’ production of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever fits the bill. The plot is simple: The Herdmans are a seemingly parentless group of siblings known for picking fights, smoking cigars and extorting lunch money from their classmates. They show up at Sunday school hoping to snag free snacks. Instead, they commandeer all the best roles in the church’s annual Christmas pageant. Chaos ensues. Lessons are taught and learned — by everyone. Under the direction of Erica Miller and Rowena Winkler, the large ensemble cast of seasoned performers and debuting actors create an enjoyable show. Even the least experienced cast members are and believable — and audible — in their roles. Laura Ivey shines as Grace Bradley, the reluctant first-time pageant director who wrangles the rambunctious Herdmans, her own kids and a band of other children.

averting mass murder at Olympic Park. He’s hailed as a hero. But his hero’s welcome turns sour when the FBI reveals Jewell as an attention-seeking suspect. As he is branded a wannabe terrorist, his life swings from dream to nightmare. Can Jewell reclaim his good name? Based on the true story of a villainized hero, Richard Jewell should be a terrifying look at why real, sourced reporting is essential to civic lives. The film is directed by Clint Eastwood, so expect lots of stark, dark shots and haunting performances.
A family is torn apart and glued back together by grief yler (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) is a popular high-school wrestling star with a beautiful girlfriend. But his domineering father Ronald (Sterling K. Brown) is his constant critic. T h e n everything THE goes wrong. OVIEGOER An injury ends Tyler’s wrestling career. His girlfriend is pregnant and keeping the baby. His stress comp o u n d s Movie reviews by because he Diana Beechener dare not tell his father how he’s struggling. Tyler’s stunningly bad choices nearly destroy his family. Mother Catherine (Renée Elise Goldsberry) seethes at her husband because she believes he pushed her son too hard. Ronald protests that he was pushing his son to succeed. Sister Emily (Taylor Russell in her feature film debut) suffers most. As her parents bicker, she is furious, depressed and highly emotional. A sympathetic schoolmate helps her claw her way toward forgiving herself and her brother. This story of grief and forgiveness bogs down in its ambitions. Director Trey Edward Shults (It Comes at Night) touches too lightly on his topics to satisfy his aspirations. It’s as if the movie had been dropped on the floor, shattered and carelessly reassembled. The result is a beautifully shot story but starkly divided narrative. Emily’s story is by far the more interesting. Russell is stunning as a girl grasping for a lost normal life. Her slow journey to acceptance of the injustices of life is heartbreaking but ultimately hopeful. Shults uses little interactions between family members to explore complicated dynamics as Emily and her father help each other heal. Tyler’s story is melodramatic. His character is poorly developed — even though it’s he who creates the problems explored in the second half of the movie.

Waves traces the journey of a suburban family — led by a well-intentioned but domineering father — as they navigate love, forgiveness and coming together in the aftermath of a loss. Still, Waves gives us enough beautiful cinematography to distract from Tyler’s histrionics. Shults’ camera work mirrors each sibling. Tyler’s is all whirling pans and frantic movements, while Emily is a more deliberate girl, and the camera follows her shyly from a distance, moving slowly closer. Waves is an ambitious swing for the fences that will give you and the people you love plenty to talk about. Prospects: Good • R • 135 mins.

Black Christmas Hawthorne College is losing its sorority girls. When the missing girls turn up murdered, the women on campus band together to hunt down the culprit. A reboot of the horror classic that inspired seminal films like Halloween, this take on Black Christmas is modernized for a new audience. The original featured women as victims begging for mercy; now the girls fight back. A slasher film is a great way to de-stress during the holidays, especially with a little girl power mixed in. Prospects: Flickering • PG-13 • 92 mins.
Jumanji: The Next Level Surviving the video game world of Jumanji once was enough. Now four
friends have to re-enter the lifethreatening fantasy adventures to save a missing friend. This time, help comes in the form of Spencer’s grandfather (Danny DeVito). The charm of the franchise is in watching stars — The Rock, Kevin Hart and Jack Black — campily imitate other actors and teenage girls. The Rock takes on Danny DeVito. If you’re hoping for an interesting story, you likely won’t find it here. This sequel to a surprise hit was rushed into production and theaters, so the script and performances are rushed, too. There’s always a chance this flick is secretly brilliant, but not a big one.
The death of John Paul II puts the Catholic Church at a crossroads between tradition and reform. Two men emerge as possible leaders: Benedict (Anthony Hopkins), a staunch German conservative, and Francis (Jonathan Pryce), a tango-dancing Argentinian who eschews church wealth to live simply among the people. Both disagree on nearly anything, but they respect each other. As they discuss philosophy, faith and soccer, they form a deep bond. Beautifully acted and interestingly scripted The Two Popes is not only a study in opposed theology but also a surprisingly funny look at how two opposites formed a lasting friendship. Whether or not you’re Catholic, this is a chance to watch two great British actors show off. Prospects: Good Drama • PG-13 • 125 mins.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Nobody knows really what they’re doing,” says Aries comedian Conan O’Brien. “And there are two ways to go with that information,” he continues. “One is to be afraid, and the other is to be liberated, and I choose to be liberated by it.” I hope you’ll be inspired by O’Brien’s example in the coming weeks, Aries. I sus© by Rob Brezsny pect that if you shed your worries about the uncertainty you feel, you’ll trigger an influx of genius. Declaring your relaxed independence from the temptation to be a know-it-all will bless you with expansive new perspectives and freedom to move.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Creativity expert Roger von Oech tells us, “Everyone has a ‘risk muscle.’ You keep it in shape by trying new things. If you don’t, it atrophies. Make a point of using it at least once a day.” Here’s what I’ll add to his advice. If your risk muscle is flabby right now, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to whip it into better shape. Start with small, modest risks, and gradually work your way up to bigger and braver ones. And what should you do if your risk muscle is already well-toned? Dream and scheme about embarking on a major, long-term venture that is the robust embodiment of a smart gamble.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Many people engage in laughably feeble attempts to appear witty by being cyni-
cal—as if by exuding sardonic irony and sneering pessimism they could prove their mettle as brilliant observers of modern culture. An example is this lame wisecrack from humorist David Sedaris: “If you’re looking for sympathy you’ll find it between s—- and syphilis in the dictionary.” I bring this to your attention in the hope of coaxing you to avoid indulging in gratuitous pessimism during the coming weeks. For the sake of your good health, it’s important for you to be as open-minded and generous-spirited as possible. And besides that, pessimism will be unwarranted.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): “You can shop online and find whatever you’re looking for,” writes pundit Paul Krugman, “but bookstores are where you find what you weren’t looking for.” That’s a good principle to apply in every area of your life. It’s always smart to know exactly what you need and want, but sometimes—like now—it’s important that you put yourself in position to encounter what you need and want but don’t realize that you need and want.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Bachianas Brasileiras is a nine-part piece of music that blends Brazilian folk music with the compositional style of Johann Sebastian Bach. The poet Anne Sexton relied on it, letting it re-play ceaselessly during her long writing sessions. My painter friend Robin sometimes follows a similar method with Leonard Cohen’s album Ten New Songs, allowing it to cycle for hours as she works on her latest masterpiece. In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to select a new theme song or collection of theme songs to inspire your intense efforts in behalf of your
labors of love in the coming weeks. It’s a favorable time to explore the generative power of joyous, lyrical obsession.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I’ve spent my life butting my head against other people’s lack of imagination,” mourned Virgo musician Nick Cave, who’s renowned for his original approach to his craft. I’m bringing this to your attention because I suspect you will be endowed with an extra fertile imagination in the coming weeks. And I would hate for you to waste time and energy trying to make full use of it in the presence of influences that would resist and discourage you. Therefore, I’ll cheer you on as you seek out people and situations that enhance your freedom to express your imagination in its expansive glory.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A scholar counted up how often the Bible delivers the command “Fear not!” and “Don’t be afraid!” and similar advice. The number was 145. I don’t think that approach to regulating behavior works very well. To be constantly thinking about what you’re not supposed to do and say and think about tends to strengthen and reinforce what you’re not supposed to do and say and think about. I prefer author Elizabeth Gilbert’s strategy. She writes, “I don’t try to kill off my fear. I make all that space for it. Heaps of space. I allow my fear to live and breathe and stretch out its legs comfortably. It seems to me the less I fight my fear, the less it fights back.” That’s the method I recommend for you, Libra—especially in the coming weeks.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Isaac Newton (1642–1726) was one of history’s most influential scientists and a key contributor to physics, astronomy, mathematics and optics. His mastery of the nuances of human relationships was less developed, however. He had one close friendship with a Swiss mathematician, though he broke it off abruptly after four years. And his biographers agree that he never had sex with another person. What I find most curious, however, is the fact that he refused to even meet the brilliant French philosopher Voltaire, who reached out to him and asked to get together. I trust you won’t do anything like that in the coming weeks, Scorpio. In fact, I urge you to be extra receptive to making new acquaintances, accepting invitations and expanding your circle of influence.

from the cocoons of insect larvae? Ancient Chinese sage Confucius told the following story. One day in 2460 B.C., 14-yearold Chinese princess Xi Ling Shi was sitting under a mulberry tree sipping tea. A silk worm’s cocoon fell off a branch and landed in her drink. She was curious, not bothered. She unrolled the delicate structure and got the idea of using the threads to weave a fabric. The rest is history. I foresee a silk-worm’s-cocoon-falling-inyour-cup-of-tea type of event in your future, Sagittarius. Be alert for it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “It is the soul’s duty to be loyal to its own desires,” wrote Capricorn author Rebecca West. “It must abandon itself to its master passion.” That’s a high standard to live up to! But then you Capricorns have substantial potential to do just that: become the champions of devoting practical commitment to righteous causes. With that in mind, I’ll ask you: How are you doing in your work to embody the ideal that Rebecca West articulated? Is your soul loyal to its deepest desires? Has it abandoned itself to its master passion? Take inventory—and make any corrections, if necessary.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I would never try to talk you into downplaying or denying your suffering. I would never try to convince you that the pain you have experienced is mild or tolerable or eminently manageable. Who among us has the wisdom to judge the severity or intractability of anyone else’s afflictions? Not I. But in the coming months, I will ask you to consider the possibility that you have the power—perhaps more than you realize—to diminish your primal aches and angst. I will encourage you to dream of healing yourself in ways that you have previously imagined to be impossible.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “You owe it to us all to get on with what you’re good at,” wrote Piscean poet W. H. Auden. In other words, you have a responsibility to develop your potential and figure out how to offer your best gifts. It’s not just a selfish act for you to fulfill your promise; it’s a generous act of service to your fellow humans. So how are you doing with that assignment, Pisces? According to my analysis, you should be right in the middle of raising your efforts to a higher octave; you should be discovering the key to activating the next phase of your success— which also happens to be the next phase of your ability to bestow blessings on others.

DOCTORS OF OPTOM METRY
News of the Weird compiled by Andrews McMeel Syndication
Unclear on the Concept Kentarias Gowans, 20, of Flowery Branch, Georgia, came up with a novel way of celebrating Thanksgiving. He was scheduled to work at the Steak ‘n’ Shake in Oakwood that day, but called in intoxicated and said he wouldn’t be in. But around 10 p.m. that evening, Gowans arrived at the restaurant with a handgun, which he held to another employee’s head while demanding money, the Gainesville Times reported. Multiple employees and customers called 911, and police arrived to see Gowans exiting the restaurant with his gun. He briefly raised the weapon, officers reported, but then dropped it, and he was taken into custody after a brief struggle.
Not Santa As Stephanie Leguia of Milton, Massachusetts, and her neighbor, Wenhan Huang, chatted in Huang’s yard on Dec. 1, an unusual object slammed to the ground just feet from where they stood. Their backs were turned when what looked like a “giant silver tarp” crashed down, reported the Boston Herald. On its way, it lopped off four tree branches: “If it had hit us, we would have been dead,” Leguia said. Turns out the object was an uninflated silver evacuation slide from a Delta flight arriving in Boston from Paris. The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that the pilot had heard a loud noise as the Boeing airliner approached Logan International Airport, but the flight landed without incident. Delta and the FAA are investigating.
Least Competent Criminals Callie Elizabeth Carswell of Morganton, North Carolina, and her fiance, Clarence Moore III, allegedly staged an elaborate crime, all in the name of love, just before Thanksgiving. Around 10 p.m. on Nov. 25, while Carswell worked at the Big Daddy convenience store, Moore entered the store carrying an ornamental sword and wearing a hat and bandanna to disguise his identity. He demanded money from Carswell, leaving with $2,960, the Morganton Department of Public Safety told The News Herald. When the robber left the store, she called 911. Police went on to work the case overnight, while Carswell and Moore made an early morning stop at Walmart to buy a ring and get engaged on the spot, documenting the big event on Facebook. But details of Car-
swell’s story didn’t add up, and investigators found evidence in her car and at their home that led them to arrest the couple. Moore confessed to the crime, but Carswell shouted at reporters as she entered the courthouse: “I will assault you! I didn’t do it. … Watch the (expletive) video and you’ll see that I was (expletive) terrified. I wasn’t involved.” The couple were charged with armed robbery, misuse of 911 and filing a false police report.
Fine Points of the Law After a decade of wrangling through the court system, Bela Kosoian has been awarded $20,000 (Canadian) by the Supreme Court of Canada. It all started in the Laval, Quebec, Montmorency Metro station in 2009, when Kosoian was riding an escalator while looking through her purse and, pointedly, not holding the handrail. According to CBC News, a police officer told her to respect a sign asking riders to hold the rail, but Kosoian declined and then would not identify herself to the officer, who slapped her with two tickets: one for disobeying the sign and another for obstructing the work of an inspector. Kosoian sued, and the highest court agreed with her, saying: “A reasonable police officer should have known that people didn’t have to hold the handrails.” They called the sign a “warning” and not a law. “I knew that I didn’t do anything wrong,” Kosoian said. “It was the principle of it.”
Questionable Judgment In The Hague, Netherlands, management at supermarket chain Albert Heijn is walking back a request that employees send in a photo of themselves in their underwear, in order to work out sizes for new uniforms. Workers were asked to use an “innovative mobile app” to submit the photos, AFP reported, but the company backed down after the complaints started rolling in. “The manager told us that if we don’t do it, we can’t be in the store anymore because we don’t have the right corporate clothing,” said one 17year-old employee who works at the Nijmegen branch. But Albert Heijn said participating was voluntary and “although … pictures were not visible to management, this should never have happened. We apologize to all involved.”
Irony Ronald Cyr, 65, of Van Buren, Maine, became the victim of his own trap on Nov. 28 when he was shot by a handgun that he had rigged to fire whenever someone opened the front door. Cyr was able to call 911 and say that he had been shot,
Online Consignment Auctions — Every Week —
WAGM reported, but he later died. When officers of the Van Buren Police Department arrived, they found that along with the home’s front-door booby trap, other devices were set up, prompting them to call the Maine State Police bomb squad. Homemade security devices that use weapons are illegal in the United States.
The Continuing Crisis Veronica Alvarez-Rodriguez stopped at a Valparaiso, Florida, Goodwill store on Dec. 1 to pick up a gift for a baby shower she and her husband were attending. She was excited to find a Baby Einstein bouncer seat for just $9.99 — unopened and appearing to be new, The Palm Beach Post reported. Later, at the shower in Crestview, the father-to-be opened the box and found … a Mossberg 715T semiautomatic rifle. “You guys got me a gun!” he shouted excitedly. The gun had live ammo loaded in it, so the Crestview Police Department was summoned. Initially, officers let the future dad keep the weapon, but later asked to hold it as they investigated the incident. “Goodwill has the best treasures for $9.99,” AlvarezRodriguez gushed.
Bright Ideas • An unnamed man was detained in Russia on Nov. 28 after it was revealed that he erected a fake border station in the woods near the country’s border with Finland and charged four South Asian men to smuggle them into the European Union, the Guardian reported. He charged the men more than $10,000 for the service, but “The man never planned to carry out his promises,” according to the Interfax News Agency. The man took the migrants on a circuitous route in the Vyborg region by car and on foot, at one point carrying an inflatable boat, “just in case.” All five men were taken into custody. The smuggler may be charged with fraud. • At her early December murder trial at Kingston Crown Court in Kingston, England, 35-year-old Asta Juskauskiene of Dartford was accused of setting up a “latter-day medieval duel” between her estranged husband, Giedruis Juskaukus, 42, and her lover, 25-year-old Mantas

Kvedaras. As the story goes, according to the Telegraph, the woman had left her husband and become acquainted with Kvedaras, who was serving time in a Lithuanian prison. He was released in May, and after his arrival in England, both men claimed Juskauskiene as their own. So, logically, she decided they should fight to the death in an alleyway on June 17 — a duel which Juskaukus did not survive. He was found with 35 stab wounds to his body and neck, and Kvedaras confessed to the attack. The prosecutor, Hugh Davies, contends that Juskauskiene manipulated the two men, harbored Kvedaras after the incident, and repeatedly lied to police. She denies conspiring to murder.
Runs in the Family On Nov. 29, Jackson County (Kansas) Sheriff Tim Morse reported that his office had arrested not one, but two, McCrackens for two separate vehicle thefts. Around 1:30 a.m., a deputy stopped Eric Dean McCracken, 36, for a traffic infraction, then arrested him after learning that McCracken was driving with a suspended license. Later that morning, the owner of the truck he was driving reported it stolen, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported. Separately, just before 5 a.m. that day, the Shawnee County Sheriff ’s Office started tracking a different stolen truck using GPS. When a Holton, Kansas, police officer tried to stop that truck, the driver, Keith Ray McCracken, 32, fled. He eventually stopped the vehicle and tried to escape on foot, but was caught at a convenience store. Officers believe Keith was on his way to the Jackson County Jail to bail out his brother, Eric. Both were held at the jail on multiple charges. Send your weird news items to WeirdNewsTips@amuniversal.com. © copyright 2019 Andrews McMeel Syndication
