Hopes and Challenges That’s the 2020 prospect appy New Year! 2020: a new year, a new decade and, in the words of friend Louise Dunlap — a Bay Weekly reader since Volume I, Number 1 — new challenges and new hope. My hope in introducing Bay Weekly Volume 28, Number 1 is that we continue to bring you enlightenment, entertainment and resources to improve your life, your family, your community and our shared place in this world, from the Chesapeake Country. This, Editor our 1,360th encounter, is dedicated to wellness. Starting afresh in your personal prime condition has been a regular theme of our first-of-theyear issues. Over the years, we’ve asked all kinds of experts — including one another — what we do to keep our bodies, minds and spirits working in such sweet harmony that, if you could hear the music they make, it might sound like The Beach Boys in full voice. Not necessarily the young Beach Boys, either, for we can age in different versions of wellness. Even illness can be managed so it is not the opposite of wellness, though that takes some doing. In recent years, we’ve asked our nearest experts — the health and wellness partners who sponsor Bay Weekly — to tell us how their practices not only restore us to health but also lift us to wellness. This year’s answers are illuminating.

Many have addressed both problems and solutions, from life-altering to simple. Among simple steps to wellness, Ginni Morani from AFC Urgent Care — where you’d seek relief when your body is suffering — offers tips to avoiding the season’s worst maladies, colds and flus. Dr. Aelia Syed of Deale Family Dentistry tells what a difference a toothbrush can make to your overall health. Dr. Rose Susel of Dunkirk Vision says sunglasses can save your sight. Ali Dohne of Charlie Rae Skincare explains how caring for your skin has way more to do with wellness than with vanity. At the other extreme, Gary Franklin of Response Senior Care alerts us to signs that may be telling us we need to seek help for an aging relative, friend — or even ourselves. In between are all kinds of practical ways to overcome problems and take steps to wellness. Prevention is often their theme. Thus you’ll learn about low-cost cancer screenings (Calvert County Department of Health). And you’ll find classes from diabetes prevention and Mental Health First Aid Training (Bay Community Health) to FUNctional Fitness and HIIT the Barre (Chesapeake Health and Fitness). Stepping outside the ordinary, this first-of-theyear issue looks at the contributions alternative healing approaches can make to your wellbeing. Healing practitioners explain the benefits of massage, chiropractic and acupuncture. If you’ve had those treatments, you know they can feel good, but you may have no idea why they work. Now you’ll find out, as massage therapist Lisa Johnson and Dr. Errol Silva chiropractor explain their healing arts. Dr. Sara Poldmae of Meadow Hill Wellness offers clarifying detail on the philosophy and methods of

acupuncture. Acupuncture and chiropractic patients add their insight to aid your understanding. One or maybe more of these lessons will, I hope, reveal answers you were looking for — whether you knew it or not. Guiding you to wellness in this new, uncharted year is the right farewell at the right time, I think. Next week, as you know, Bay Weekly goes under new ownership. That’s the new year’s challenge for both Chesapeake Bay Media and for us, your old friends at Bay Weekly. Alex and I will have to let go. Betsy Kehne, Kathy Knotts, Audrey Broomfield, Susan Nolan and Krista Pfunder will go to work for new people in the new year. Chesapeake Bay Media has the hardest challenge of all: on-the-track training for taking the controls of what is, to them, a rumbling, earthbound express train. I wish we were handing over an advanced new MagLev kind of technology. Instead, Bay Weekly is a classic, hand-run operation with all work done to-order by real people on the spot. That’s what has made us a community paper, and what made us attractive to this savvy media company. Fortunately, they are in the prime and flexibile state of wellness they’ll need to be up to the job. They’ll be bringing you next week’s paper — and we hope many years of papers after that. Alex and I will assist as advisors at least into spring. Contacts and emails will change. Editor@bayweekly.com will move to Chesapeake Bay Media. I will no longer receive mail at that address. Other @bayweekly accounts are expected to continue. So to reach me you’ll use my som@bayweekly.com account. (My personal account is now solivettimartin@gmail.com). Farewell into this new year of hopes and challenges.

Make a New Year’s Resolution Start at home to preserve species from extinction

photo and story by Wayne Bierbaum

t was sobering to read National Geographic’s October issue on animals that have recently gone extinct or will be extinct in the next few years. Large mammals like the northern white rhino, with only two females remaining, are done in by poaching. The smallest dolphin, the vasquita, is dying off as by-catch of gill nets. Most of the thousands of animals threatened with that permanent disappearance suffer from habitat loss. They have no place to live. Deforestation, like what is taking place in South America, is an easy-to-see cause of habitat loss. But filling in wetlands, polluting streams and fragmenting animals by largescale farming also create loss.

Make a New Year’s Resolution What can you do to try to reverse the trends of extinction? Support groups like The Nature Conservancy that preserve land. Support wetland preservation. Plant native plants and, if you have a large lawn, plant native trees. Leave a part of your land in a wilder state with dense bushes and trees. Use fallen leaves as mulch. Avoid using insecticide, and use compost as fertilizer and mulch. Avoid the use of plastics. Refuse plastic bags, straws and packaging.

Winter Tips for Wellness from Meadow Hill Wellness raditional Chinese medicine teaches that humans should live in harmony with the seasons. Traditional Chinese medicine says there are five seasons: winter, spring, summer, late summer and fall. Each season has many associations that help us change our habits, allowing for a more balanced mind and body. When these systems were being developed, people were living in harmony with nature. People rose with the sun, ate what was available during the different seasons and were much more aware of their natural environment. What to wear, when to wake up, when to go to sleep and what activities to engage in were all dependent on the weather and the environment. Because of this, people were capable of staying healthy throughout the year, and their immune and organ systems were strong enough to ward off disease. When we align ourselves with the natural processes of life and the seasons, our bodies will adjust and perform optimally, just as they are intended to. Here are ways to rediscover those old rhythms.

Get Some Rest The season of winter is a time of repair and rejuvenation. Winter is associated with the kidneys, which hold the body’s fundamental energies. Rest is important for revitalizing the kidneys. This is why some animals hibernate during the winter months. Spend more time resting during winter to help prepare your body for the months ahead when you expend more energy. Incorporate Reflection Winter is a really good time to turn inward and do some reflection. Practices like tai chi, qi gong and yoga can be very beneficial during this season. These practices help us connect to our inner selves while supporting the kidney energy. They also help relax the mind and

• January 2 - January 8, 2020

calm our emotions. Things like journaling and meditation are other ways of reflecting during the winter months. Long term, these practices can be very helpful at extending a person’s life. Drink water, lots of water The kidneys are closely associated and ruled by the water element, which is the element associated with winter. So it is important to drink water during wintertime. Drinking room-temperature water is a vital step to maintaining sufficient kidney qi throughout the winter months. Eat Warm, Seasonal Foods Choose foods that grow naturally during the winter. Items such as squash, potatoes, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, cin-

namon, nutmeg, cardamom, beets, greens, carrots, mushrooms, apples, pears and cabbage are great. During the winter months, cold foods like salads and raw foods should be avoided as they will deplete the immune system. There are also foods that specifically target and nourish the kidneys, Good are kidney beans, beef, goose, duck, black beans, lamb, chicken, dark leafy greens, garlic, ginger, walnuts, quinoa, asparagus, celery, onion, fennel, scallions, cloves, watercress and turnips. Sea salt is also helpful, because salty is the taste associated with the kidneys. As with anything, moderation is key. Too much salt can actually tax the heart, which then causes the kidneys to work overtime. Boost Your Qi with Acupuncture Acupuncture and moxibustion are two tools regularly used to boost the kidney qi. At the core of acupuncture is the philosophy that qi — pronounced chee — or vital energy, flows throughout our bodies. Qi animates the body and protects it from illness, pain and disease. Our health is influenced by the quality, quantity and balance of qi. During an initial exam, information regarding health, symptoms and lifestyle is gathered. The practitioner can diagnose and detect any specific imbalances of qi that may have con-

tributed to a person’s health problems and create a treatment plan. Once the imbalances of qi are detected, an acupuncturist will place fine, sterile needles at specific acupoints along meridian pathways. Safe and painless, the insertion of the needles can unblock the obstruction and balance qi where it has become unbalanced. Once this is done, qi can freely circulate throughout the body, providing adequate nourishment to cells, organs, glands, tissues and muscles. This can eliminate pain and restore balance and harmony as well as the body’s ability to heal itself — ultimately leading to optimal health and well-being. In moxibustion, dried mugwort is burned very near the skin to warm and boost the qi within the body. Certain acupuncture points are essential for boosting kidney qi. Most are located either on the lower abdomen, below the umbilicus or on the lower back above the hipbones, in the areas of the kidneys. Applying moxibustion to these areas is a wonderful way to boost the energy reserves of the kidneys. All of Meadow Hill Wellness’s acupuncturists have received doctoral degrees in their field and have many years of clinical experience helping people get well, naturally. Acupuncture is a covered benefit under many health insurance plans. Meadow Hill Wellness is a network provider with most major insurance carriers. 53 Old Solomons Island Rd., Annapolis; 410-263-0411; www.MeadowHillWellness.com

Your Skin Needs Pampering from Charlie Rae Skincare our skin is your biggest organ. To keep it healthy this winter, drink plenty of water and use a humidifier. If you use a foaming cleanser and are feeling dry, you might want to switch to a creamy cleanser. At Charlie Rae Skincare, we carry a milk cleanser that is made with sweet almond milk and lactic acid. Lactic acid helps stimulate your body’s own moisturizing mechanisms. Book a facial to pamper your skin. Healthy skin not only looks good; it makes you feel good. “Loving your skin makes you feel great about yourself,” says Ali Dohne, owner of Charlie Rae Skincare. “If you feel confident in your skin, you will be able to look people in the eye and feel sure of yourself. A little extra confidence can make everything better. When everything else is a mess but my skin is glowing, I still feel good!” The cool weather months are peel season. The winter is a great time to do intense treatments that you can’t do with the sun at a higher angle. Charlie Rae has a wide variety of peels that help with aging, hyper-pigmentation, acne and hydration.

Massage Is FeelGood Healing from Lisa Johnson of Hands Designed for You assage does not take the place of medical treatment, but it might be good for what ails you, especially if stress, anxiety and pain are keeping you from living your best life. Lisa Johnson of Hands Designed for You worked as a beautician before training to become a massage therapist. “I noticed how rubbing a client’s scalp when I washed their hair could really change an attitude. The stress would melt away.” Once only available at luxury spas and upscale health clubs, massage is now recommended for people suffering from a wide range of medical conditions and is seen as complementary to standard medicine. The science behind the health benefits of massage is real, says Johnson. “Endorphins are the feel-good chemicals of the brain. Massage releases those feel-good chemicals, improves sleep and circulation. It can help reduce symptoms associated with PTSD, fibromyalgia, arthritis and cancer.”

Ali Dohne is a licensed esthetician, brow artist and acne specialist. Charlie Rae Skincare offers facials, dermaplaning, peels, waxing and more.

Lisa Johnson of Hands Designed for You has been providing therapeutic massages to clients since 2001. Tailoring messages to meet an individual’s specific needs is her specialty.

When to Seek Help for an Aging Relative or Friend from Response Senior Care t’s easy to overlook the significance of changes in the physical and mental functioning of people we love. Any particular change can be written off as not very important. Often these changes are ignored messengers of news we’d rather not face. But when you notice quite a few taken together, it’s likely to be time to pay attention. Forgetfulness can be easily overlooked because it affects us all. So it’s the habit of forgetfulness that’s telling. Is a person having difficulty keeping track of time? Forgetting to take medications or taking incorrect dosages? If so, you may be seeing a warning sign rather than simple distraction. Physical symptoms include weight loss or poor diet and unexplained bruising or injuries. Watch for difficulty getting up from a seated position or problems walking or balancing. Another clue easy to overlook: marks or wear on walls, door jams or furniture may be indicative of their being used to help with stability while walking through the home. Behavioral changes can also be telling. Sleeping for most of the day or losing interest in hobbies and activities could be indicators. Others include changes in mood or extreme

Chiropractic Medicine 101 from Level Up Spine Care and Rehab hiropractic medicine is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic services are used to treat common musculoskeletal complaints, including back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs and headaches, explains Dr. Errol Silva of Level Up Spine Care and Rehab. Spinal manipulation — the hallmark treatment — works by moving the stiff or stuck joints that may be causing you pain. Prescribed rehab exercises have been found to strengthen muscles, tendons and ligaments as well as to change the brain’s processing of pain. Other modalities — such as soft tissue work, dry needling and cupping — also change pain processing and help muscles relax. If aches and pains in your musculoskeletal system — bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves — have not improved with home care remedies like ice, heat, over-the-counter medications and stretching within a week or so, consider a visit to the chiropractor. Your chiropractor will examine your area of concern and prescribe a treatment plan to get you back to doing what you love with the least amount of discomfort.

mood swings, consistent use of poor judgment — such as falling for scams or sales pitches or giving away money — and uncertainty and confusion while performing familiar tasks. Harder to ignore are the telltale signs of poor personal hygiene. Unpleasant body odor, infrequent showering or bathing, a strong smell of urine in the house or on the clothing are signs telling us that we should be concerned. Also keep an eye out for a noticeable decline in grooming habits and personal care, such as unkempt hair, untrimmed nails, lack of oral care and wearing dirty or stained clothing. A person’s home is a reflection of their state of wellbeing. Neglecting household responsibilities can mean more than a person’s taking it easy.

Casual housekeeping rises to an alarm when you see that a loved one is no longer able to independently keep up their home. When dirt goes beyond dust, when stale laundry piles up and clutter takes over — all that should raise a red flag. Check the fridge. If there is little or no fresh, healthy food and you notice spoiled food isn’t getting thrown away, that’s cause for concern. Also watch for unopened mail, an overflowing mailbox, late payment notices, bounced checks and calls from bill collectors as well as utilities being turned off due to missed payments and signs of unexplained dents and scratches on their car. If you notice a good number of these signs, a person you love needs help. Providing that help may be beyond you; many of these problems have deep-seated, intractable causes. So if this list resonates with you, it’s time to ask for help. Response Senior Care, LLC, provides non-medical, inhome care for seniors and adults (ages 18+). Our goal is to assist an individual’s desire to remain in his or her own home for as long as possible. 1831 Forest Dr., Annapolis; 410-571-2744; www.Response-SeniorCare.com

Winter is As Bright As Summer … Protect Your Eyes

from Dunkirk Vision Winter Eye Problems Sandy beaches and summer heat aren’t the only source of sunburn. We can get sunburned in any season, including winter. Winter can be even more dangerous. We bundle up most of our skin against the cold. But our poor eyes are left to face the elements. What should you do to prevent eyeburn?

Sunburn is only one of the potential problems your eyes can suffer during the chilly months of the year. Winter air can get very dry, and the heaters in our homes and where we work only dry it out more. This makes it very easy for our eyes to dry out and become irritated. Fight back by staying well hydrated. Use seat warmers in the car, and turn the heater down. At home, get a humidifier to add moisture Too much sunlight can lead to temporary blindness, called snow blindness. Skiers and snowboarders are especially susceptible. Up on those slopes, the thinner air offers less protection from the sun, and the snow reflects it back even more, making everything extremely bright.

The most dangerous part of snow blindness is that you can take hours to notice symptoms, meanwhile getting even more sun exposure. The good news is that there are excellent tools to help prevent snow blindness.

Keeping Your Smile Healthy Is Simple

Winter Solutions Sunglasses are not just for summer. A good pair of polarized, 100 percent UV-blocking sunglasses is a fantastic defense against dangerous UV rays for a day out in the snowy weather. Polarization is important, because this type of lens reflects light coming in from certain angles, which means none of that glare coming off the snow will get past them to your eyes. If you don’t already have a pair, we highly recommend finding a pair to suit you. For skiers and snowboarders, sunglasses may not be enough. Goggles provide more coverage and are more secure. They can even fit over glasses, and you can find pairs with vents or anti-fog coating so they don’t steam up. On goggles, you might want to avoid polarized lenses because the glare on the mountainside actually helps you see the slope. Instead, check out colored lenses. Different colors are more helpful in different conditions. Or consider a pair with universal lenses that are good in all conditions.

Dunkirk Vision provides vision improvement with glasses, contact lenses and surgical correction; treatment for eye conditions, including cataracts, computer vision syndrome and dry eyes; and eye diseases, from pink eye to diabetic eye disease. 10335 Southern Maryland Blvd., Dunkirk; 443-964-6730; www.DunkirkVision.com

witch from a traditional toothbrush to an electric toothbrush in the new year to improve your overall health. “An electric toothbrush does a better job of cleaning your teeth by producing more motion to remove plaque,” says Dr. Aelia Syed with Deale Family Dentistry. Be sure you’re flossing correctly. “Wrap the floss around each side of the tooth instead of just cleaning the space in between,” Dr. Syed says. “You should notice less plaque buildup and bleeding in your mouth. This should lead to an improvement in your dental health.” Taking care of your dental health leads to a confident smile and appearance and contributes to overall general wellness. “Oral bacteria has been linked to bacteria found in other parts of the body,” Dr. Syed says. “It is extremely important to take care of your mouth as it affects your overall well being.”

How Does this Yogi Work Out His Kinks? Acupuncture does the trick A Bay Weekly conversation with Roberto Davis he envy of yoga class, Roberto Davis, 65, not only torques himself into positions other bodies could only manage with the aid of a rack. He also holds them longer with no more apparent tension than if he were leaning up against a streetlight. Even his yoga teacher, Satyam, marvels at his flexibility. Yet a couple of months ago, Davis, of Owings, was cutting class, homebound and wincing with a pinched nerve. Acupuncture, he tells us, relieved his pain and gave him back his groove.

Bay Weekly Is this your first time to try acupuncture? Roberto Davis It is. A few years ago when I had a pinched nerve in the same place, in the left side of neck, I sought conventional treatment. In the end, it was fine but I also took a lot of pain medicine. This time a fellow yoga student told me that he had also tried other treatments for a pinched nerve, but

that acupuncture was the only thing that worked for him. That opened my eyes. I thought, maybe it is time to try something different. I think you have to have a positive attitude with any treatment and think it will work. Be positive about it being good for you. Bay Weekly From there, how did you find your acupuncturist? Roberto Davis We began to do research online, and I saw an ad in Bay Weekly for an acupuncturist. Meadow Hill Wellness accepts my health insurance, so I made an appointment. The staff was wonderful on the phone. Very professional and friendly. They even called my health insurance to make sure I was covered. Before beginning, I talked it over with my doctor and he recommended I try it. Bay Weekly Is it expensive? Roberto Davis The first visit is a little more because of the deductible. Then with my Blue Cross Blue Shield, I pay only $11.88 a visit. Bay Weekly Do the needles hurt?

Roberto Davis No, I feel nothing from the needles. Sometimes one or two hurt a bit due to sensitive spots or if the energy there is different. But that only lasts five or 10 seconds and then is gone. The needles change each time. Since my problem is on my left side, they always do the left. But they also do the right, as well as my ankles and wrists. They place them all over my whole body, mostly on my back. Bay Weekly How would you describe the experience? Roberto Davis I find it very relaxing. You’re there alone. They lower the lights, and when you’re in there you’re thinking about the treatment and how good it feels. They play nice music, and the place smells wonderful. Bay Weekly How do you feel after? Roberto Davis I feel very relaxed more than anything. It’s nice taking that time for myself. Bay Weekly How often do you go? Roberto Davis I’ve been going for about two months. I get six treatments on a biweekly basis. Bay Weekly Is it really working? Roberto Davis I feel better. Almost normal. I continue to exercise at home with light weights. I also continued doing yoga, which helps me in so many ways and might also help with my pinched nerve. ‫ﵭ‬

It Works for Me Chiropractic patient Janay Thompson answers some common questions Bay Weekly What led you to a chiropractor? Janay Thompson My upper back and shoulders are always tense and tight. Bay Weekly How would you describe the experience? Janay Thompson The experience was educational.

Deakins crafts the film to look like one continuous take. There’s no cutting for reactions, no breaks from the action. He marches the audience right along with the soldiers. Instead of feeling like a slog, it makes the journey exhilarating. At the heart of the film, MacKay, gives a stirring performance. Conscripted by chance on this suicide mission, his Schofield has seen what war is, even earned a medal, and he knows exactly how horrid and hopeless their mission is. He is all battle-hardened realism in foil to Blake’s bold optimism. 1917 isn’t a Christmas movie for the family. There’s far too much realism to show little ones or the fainthearted. It’s a movie for lovers of great films, awe-inspiring and moving.

1917 Two soldiers try to stop a massacre in this World War I drama ying in a field of wildflowers, lance corporals Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman: The King) and Schofield ( G e o r g e MacKay: A THE Guide to SecOVIEGOER ond Date Sex) can almost pretend that the world isn’t ending around them. Mere feet away is the mouth of the trenches, a system of rat-infested Movie reviews by troughs of rot, Diana Beechener despair and mud. Bloodied men limp; others huddle in little coves clawed out of the dirt. Into this hell comes news that the Germans retreated. The end of the Great War seems near. But new aerial photos revealed the retreat as a trap, into which a large section of the British army has fallen. Blake and Schofield are assigned a special mission. Their general hopes to stop disaster by sending them through miles of enemy territory to reach a battalion planning an attack. If they don’t reach the advancing section before dawn, 1,600 soldiers will be sent to slaughter. To add to the urgency, one of the otherwise doomed soldiers is Blake’s older brother. The men set off, racing through the sludge and gore, hoping, just once, to spare some lives. Tense, heart-wrenching and breathtakingly cinematic 1917 is a triumph.

Great War Film • R • 119 mins. © Universal Pictures

~~~ New this Week ~~~

Two young British soldiers (Dean-Charles Chapman and George MacKay) during World War I are given an impossible mission: Deliver a message deep in enemy territory to stop 1,600 men, including one of the soldier's brothers, from walking straight into a deadly trap. Director Sam Mendes (Spectre), who co-wrote the script, crafts a spectacular tale, capturing the horrors of trench warfare and the beauty of the destroyed countryside. World War I doesn’t have as many dedicated movies as World War II, perhaps because of the sense of futility the Great War evokes. Mendes echoes that sentiment in both the attitudes of the soldiers and in the world around them. He films a world filled with horrors: mud-covered body parts, dead horses, rats and destroyed cities. Yet there is still beauty, cherry blossoms next to a

The Grudge

burning farmhouse, flowers at the mouth of a trench serving as tiny flickers of hope in a bleak world. Legendary cinematographer Roger Deakins (The Goldfinch) crafts a gorgeous and gruesome world for the soldiers to traverse. Mud sloughs off craters to reveal bodies drowned in the mire. Blue morning light bathes men readying to run at German artillery. Archways from bombed-out buildings glow bright in the flames of a battle, looking like the gates of hell. Every image is striking, every frame a new exploration of the dark beauty of war. To add to the urgency of the plot,

After a tragic murder, a curse descends upon a house. All who enter are stalked and killed by a vengeful ghost. This is bad news for Detective Muldoon (Andrea Riseborough), who comes to the house to investigate a crime. For the ghost is determined to kill both her and her son. As The Grudge is a reboot of the classic Japanese film (that also had a successful American adaptation), you may know its broad strokes. If you’re a diehard Grudge fan, it could still be fun. But remember that early January starts the two cinematic dead month when studios expend all the terrible films they don’t think will make money. Prospects: Dim • R • 94 mins.

Bird-watching is an excellent cold-weather activity as dropping temperatures send migratory populations of raptors — including eagles, hawks, falcons and owls — plus many songbirds we don’t normally see during the temperate months cruising through the Bay on their way south, often all the way to South America. You’ll never get a better opportunity to see Canada geese, snow geese, swans, brant, bluebills, ruddy ducks, buffleheads, oystercatchers, northern shore birds and that most handsome of ducks, the canvasback.

With the new year, yellow perch season commences. The earliest fish to begin its spawning runs up the Chesapeake tributaries is also one of the better fish for the palate. Some gourmands even rate it higher than the mighty white perch. Pickerel must be included in both fresh and brackish water. Long and toothy, they are energized by the cold and accompany the early spring spawning runs of both yellow and white perch. They will strike at any lure that looks remotely edible. Chesapeake winters are not exactly front-page attractions for tourism brochures. But with a change of clothing, we can be comfortable under the most demanding conditions. For today’s technically advanced clothing and gear, we have to thank the crazies who climb freezing mountains or insist on skiing down them and still others who embrace winter sailing and cruising the Southern Ocean. Compared to places like that, Chesapeake Country is a winter wonderland. ‫ﵭ‬

Fish Finder It’s pickerel or pickerel in the tributaries this time of year. They really don’t mind the cold and a slowly moved lip-hooked minnow on a small jig head under a weighted bobber will goad one into action. Most sheltered waters have good populations, and they’ll also hit leisurely moved medium- to small-sized spoons, spinner baits, swim plugs and soft plastics.

Plan Your Plantings with Seed Catalogs Open them up and dream of spring eed catalogs used to come in the mail after the holidays. Not anymore. This year the inundation started around Thanksgiving. After gardening for more than 40 years, I Gardening for think every seed Health company and mail order nursery knows my address. My mailbox seems to explode with catalogs earlier every year. But once by Maria Price the holidays are over, they’re a welcome reminder that spring is coming in not so many weeks. One of my favorite catalogs is Johnny’s Selected Seeds in Winslow, Maine (877-564-6697). For some of the best vegetables, herbs and cutting flowers, they can’t be beat. They offer organic and non-organic seeds and cater to small commercial growers and home gardeners. They have their own breeding program to produce seed varieties with special qualities that perform well in diverse growing conditions. In Johnny’s selection, you’ll find some 16 pages of lettuces and special-

ty greens. There are also great selections of tools and specialized equipment for small growers. Elliott Coleman, author of many vegetable gardening books, has designed many of the tools they offer. I order bulbs from Brent and Becky’s Bulbs in Gloucester, Virginia (877-661-2852) or Beauty from Bulbs by John Scheepers in Bantam, Connecticut (860-567-0838). Park Seed in Greenwood, South Carolina (800-845-3369) is a venerable company celebrating 152 years. Amid a great selection of vegetables and flowers, they are featuring the tomato Celano hybrid, a grape tomato that grows in large grape-like clusters for patio gardening. It has excellent flavor, is semi-determinate and is resistant to blight. They also feature zinnia Zinderella, which looks like a gerbera daisy. Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds from Mansfield, Missouri (800-234-3368) features wonderful heirloom seeds. In these pages you can find Chinese pink celery, black nebula carrots, mini blue popcorn, a shoepeg-type of corn called Country Gentleman, scarlet Goji berries, French dandelions and more. Select Seeds in Union, Connecticut (800-684-0395) offers seeds and plants of rare heirloom flowers, openpollinated and native flowers. They have a great selection of sweet peas, poppies and nasturtiums.

When the winter winds blow, surround yourself with seed catalogs and dream of spring. ‫ﵭ‬

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “We are all hostages of the joy of which we deprive ourselves,” wrote poet Odysseus Elytis. Isn’t that an astounding idea? That we refuse to allow ourselves to experience some of the bliss and pleasure we could easily have; and that we are immured inside that suppressed bliss and pleasure? I call © by Rob Brezsny on you, Aries, to rebel against this human tendency. As I see it, one of your main tasks in 2020 is to permit yourself to welcome more bliss, to aggressively seize more pleasure, and thereby free yourself from the rot of its nullification.

Free Will Astrology

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): At age 22, Taurus-born Dutch citizen Willem de Kooning sneaked into the United States. He was a stowaway on an Argentina-bound freighter, and stealthily disembarked when the ship made a stop in Virginia. As he lived in America during subsequent decades, he became a renowned painter who helped pioneer the movement known as abstract expressionism. His status as an illegal immigrant rarely presented any obstacles to his growing success and stature. Not until age 57 did he finally became an American citizen. I propose we make him one of your role models in 2020. May he inspire you to capitalize on being a maverick, outsider, or stranger. May he encourage you to find opportunities beyond your safety zone.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When British novelist E. M. Forster was in his late 30s, he had sex with another person for the first time. Before that he had published five novels. After that, he produced just one more novel, though he lived till age 91. Why?

Was he having too much fun? Looking back from his old, age, he remarked that he would “have been a more famous writer if I had published more, but sex prevented the latter.” I suspect that sensual pleasure and intimacy will have the exact opposite effect on you in 2020, Gemini. In sometimes mysterious ways, they will make you more productive in your chosen sphere.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Every part of our personality that we do not love will regress and become hostile to us,” wrote poet Robert Bly. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t suffer from this problem at least a little. That’s the bad news. The good news for us Cancerians (yes, I’m a Crab!) is that 2020 will be a favorable time to engage in a holy crusade to fix this glitch: to feel and express more love for parts of our personality that we have dismissed or marginalized. The result? Any self-sabotage we have suffered from in the past could dramatically diminish.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): As a young adult, Leo-born Raymond Chandler worked as a fruit-picker, tennis racquet-stringer, and bookkeeper. At age 34, he began a clerical job at the Dabney Oil Syndicate, and eventually rose in the ranks to become a well-paid executive. The cushy role lasted until he was 44, when he was fired. He mourned for a while, then decided to become an author of detective fiction. It took a while, but at age 50, he published his first novel. During the next 20 years, he wrote six additional novels as well as numerous short stories and screenplays—and in the process became popular and influential. I present this synopsis as an inspirational story to fuel your destiny in 2020.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The fame of Virgo-born Italian poet Ludovico Ariosto (1474–1533) has persisted through the ages because of Orlando

Furioso, an epic poem he authored. It tells the story of the Christian knight Orlando and his adoration for a pagan princess. This great work did not come easily to Ariosto. It wasn’t until he had written 56 versions of it that he was finally satisfied. I suspect you may harbor an equally perfectionist streak about the good works and labors of love you’ll craft in 2020. May I suggest you confine your experiments to no more than ten versions?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Leonardo da Vinci worked on his painting The Last Supper from 1495 to 1498. It’s a big piece—about 15 by 29 feet. That’s one reason why he took so long to finish. But there was another explanation, too. He told his patron, the Duke of Milan, that he sometimes positioned himself in front of his painting-in-progress and simply gazed at and thought about it, not lifting a brush. Those were times he did some of his hardest work, he said. I trust you will have regular experiences like that in 2020, Libra. Some of your best efforts will arise out of your willingness and ability to incubate your good ideas with concentrated silence and patience.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): By 1895, Henry James had already published 94 books. He was renowned in the U.S. and England, and had written the works that would later lead to him being considered for a Nobel Prize. Then, at age 52, although he was not physically fit, he decided to learn how to ride a bicycle. He paid for lessons at a bicycle academy, and cheerfully tolerated bruises and cuts from his frequent falls as an acceptable price to pay for his new ability. I admire James’ determination to keep transforming. Let’s make him a role model for you in 2020. May he inspire you to keep adding new aptitudes as you outgrow your previous successes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When Sagittarian composer Ludwig van Beethoven created the Eroica symphony in the early 1800s, many observers panned it. They said its rhythms were eccentric, that it was too long. One critic said it was “glaring and bizarre,” while another condemned its “undesirable originality.” This same critic concluded, “Genius proclaims itself not in the unusual and fantastic but in the beautiful and sublime.” Today, of course, Eroica has a different reputation. It’s regarded as a breakthrough event in musical history. I’ll go on record here, Sagittarius, to say that I suspect you created your own personal version of Eroica

in 2019. 2020 is the year it will get the full appreciation it deserves, although it may take a while. Be patient.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I’m going to speculate that sometime in the next six months, you will experience events that years from now you’ll look back on as having been the beginning of a fresh universe for you. What should you call this launch? I suggest you consider elegant terms like “Destiny Rebirth” or “Fate Renewal” rather than a cliché like the “Big Bang.” And how should you celebrate it? As if it were the Grand Opening of the rest of your long life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 2020, I believe you will be able to summon the insight and kismet necessary to resolve at least one long-running problem, and probably more. You’ll have an enhanced ability to kick bad habits and escape dead-ends and uncover liberating truths about mysteries that have flustered you. Frustrations and irritations you’ve grudgingly tolerated for far too much time will finally begin to wane. Congratulations in advance, Aquarius! The hard work you do to score these triumphs won’t always be delightful, but it could provide you with a curiously robust and muscular kind of fun.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Let’s say you wanted to dress completely in silk: shirt, pants, vest, scarf, socks, shoes, hat, underwear all made of silk. And let’s say your dream was to grow and process and weave the silk from scratch. You’d start with half an ounce of silkworm eggs. They’d hatch into 10,000 silkworms. Eventually those hard-working insects would generate five pounds of silk—enough to create your entire outfit. So in other words, you’d be able to generate an array of functional beauty from a small but concentrated amount of raw material. By the way, that last sentence is a good description of what I think your general approach should be in 2020. And also by the way, dressing in silk wouldn’t be too crazy an idea in the coming months. I hope you’ll have fun cultivating your allure, style and flair. HOMEWORK: I declare you champion, unvanquishable hero, and title-holder of triumphant glory.

People Different From Us Asparagus is healthy and delicious. But for 63-year-old Jemima Packington of Bath, England, the columnar vegetable is much more: Packington is an asparamancer, a person who can foretell the future by tossing the spears into the air and seeing how they land. “When I cast the asparagus, it creates patterns, and it is the patterns I interpret,” Packington said. “I am usually about 75 to 90 percent accurate.” In fact, out of 13 predictions she made for 2018, 10 of them came true. What’s in store for 2019? Packington tells Metro News that England’s women’s soccer team will win the World Cup; A Star Is Born will win an Oscar; and fears over Brexit will be largely unfounded. Oh, and asparagus will see an all-time high in sales.

People With Issues KION TV reported on Jan. 7 that a Salinas, California, family’s Ring doorbell camera captured video of a man licking the doorbell for more than three hours. The homeowners were out of town during the encounter, which took place around 5 a.m., but their children were inside. Sylvia Dungan, who was alerted to the activity at her front door on her phone, said, “I thought, boy there’s a lot of traffic. … Who the heck is that?” Salinas police identified the man as Roberto Daniel Arroyo, 33. Arroyo also relieved himself in the front yard and visited a neighbor’s house. “You kind of laugh about it afterwards because technically he didn’t do anything,” Dungan said, although police later charged him with petty theft and prowling.

Blame It on the Meth Debra Lynn Johnson, 69, of Searles, Minnesota, suffered from heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and mental illnesses, according to the Mankato Free Press, and was a patient at a transitional care center before her husband took her home to have a “death party,” he later told authorities. Brown County sheriff ’s officers responding to a 911 call from Duane Arden Johnson, 58, on Jan. 24 found the words “Death Parde God Hell” spray-painted on the front door. Duane came out of the house naked,

Ewwwww! Silence of the Lambs, indeed. A Manchester, England, woman named Joan has a unique project in mind for a custom clothing designer. Joan, 55, is anticipating having her leg amputated because of peripheral arterial disease, reported the Daily Mail, so she posted on Sewport.com, requesting help to “create something beautiful and useful” — a handbag, using her own skin. She has budgeted about $3,900 for the project, which she envisions as a “medium-sized handbag with a short strap and a section down the middle that will be made from my skin,” she explained in the post. “I know it’s a bit odd and gross … but it’s my leg, and I can’t bear the thought of it being left to rot somewhere.” There are no laws against her keeping the limb, although there is paperwork to fill out. Boris Hodakel, the founder of Sewport.com, reports that no designers have come forward yet to help with Joan’s request.

Inexplicable • Sharisha Morrison of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and her neighbors have been the recipients since Jan. 1 of an odd gift: plastic grocery bags with slices of bread and bologna inside, delivered by an unknown man. At first, Morrison told KOB TV, she thought the food deliveries were acts of kindness, until she opened the bag and smelled the contents. “It smelled like urine,” she said. Morrison said she can watch the man on her surveillance camera. “He’ll just walk up and drop it on the little doorknob and walk away,” she said. “I just want it to stop.” Police have told her they can’t do anything unless they catch him in the act. • Zack Pinsent, 25, from Brighton, England, hasn’t dressed in modern clothing since he was 14 years old. Instead, he makes and wears clothes that were popular in the 1800s. “At 14, I made the symbolic decision to burn my only pair of jeans in a bonfire. It was a real turning point,”

TSA agents at Juneau International Airport logged unexpected cargo on April 15 when a “large organic mass” was spotted in a traveler’s carry-on bag. TSA spokesperson Lisa Farbstein explained to KTOO that such a flag can indicate the presence of explosives. However, when agents opened the bag, they found a plastic grocery bag full of moose nuggets. “The passenger told the TSA officers that he collects this and likes to present it ‘for politicians and their (bleep) policies,’” Farbstein explained. The passenger was not detained and was allowed to continue on with his bag of moose poop. Later that day, the Anchorage Daily News reported that a man was seen at the state capitol, handing out baggies of moose nuggets in protest of Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s proposed budget.

Dumb and Dumber Rogers, Arkansas, neighbors Charles Eugene Ferris, 50, and Christopher Hicks, 36, were hanging out on Ferris’ back porch on March 31, drinking and enjoying the spring air. Ferris was wearing his bulletproof vest — because why not? — and invited Hicks to shoot him with a .22-caliber semi-automatic rifle. KFSM reported the vest blocked the bullet from striking Ferris, but it still hurt and left a red mark on his upper chest. Next, Hicks donned the vest and Ferris “unloaded the clip into Christopher’s back,” according to the police report, also leaving bruises. That’s where it all would have ended had Ferris not gone to the hospital, where staff alerted the Benton County Sheriff ’s Office. Ferris initially told officers an elaborate story about being shot while protecting “an asset” in

A “vampire facial” is a procedure during which blood is drawn with a needle and then spun to separate the plasma, which is then injected into the face. For customers of a spa in Albuquerque, New Mexico, though, the most lasting effects may come after a blood test. The state’s Department of Health is urging customers of VIP Spa, which closed in September 2018, to undergo HIV testing after two people were infected following treatment there. Dr. Dean Bair of the Bair Medical Spa said people should always make sure they’re going to a licensed facility for such procedures. “This is just the worst example of what can go wrong,” he told KOAT. The spa closed after inspectors found its practices could potentially spread blood-borne infections, including hepatitis B and C as well as HIV.

Pinsent told Metro News. On a typical day, Pinsent wears a floral waistcoat and knee-high leather riding boots, along with a jacket with tails and a top hat. He explains that his obsession started when his family found a box of his great-grandfather’s suits. He now researches, designs and sews clothing for himself and other history buffs, to great response: “I’ve been all over the world and people are inquisitive and appreciative,” he said.

yelled that his wife was dead and ran back inside, where officers found him in the bathtub picking things from his skin. Debra’s body, still warm, was wrapped in a sheet. Duane told police his wife had begged him to take her home to die, so they had staged the party, “rocking out” to Quiet Riot’s Metal Health and taking methamphetamines. After her death, Duane said he washed and wrapped her “like the Bible told me to do.” Police found stolen guns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in the home, and Duane was charged with felony counts of theft and receiving stolen property.

1. I P E __________________________________

Goodbye is a 15th-century English parting word with the meaning of “God be with you.” Like the French adieu and the Spanish adios — “I commend you to God” — it carries the meaning of “I won’t be there, so I’ll leave you in God’s care.” The English spelled it numerous ways: goodbye, good bye, good-by, godbwye (God be with ye), God b’uy, God buoye, God buy, and lesser spiritual, Ta Ta for now and later gator.

2. T R A T

3. B L A G E ______________________________ 4. N I F M U F ____________________________ 5. O K I C O E ____________________________ 6. R E T O T ______________________________

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.

SERVING THE BAY COUNTRY OVER 70 YEARS

Voted #1 Real Estate Agency 7 Years in a Row!

chwartz Realty first opened its doors in 1949 in a one-room office in Deale, MD, and has been serving the Real Estate needs of Southern Anne Arundel County ever since. Through the ’50s and ’60s, we sold primarily second homes and summer cottages oriented toward the Chesapeake Bay in a still sleepy South County. Then in 1963 came Routes 258 & 256 connecting Deale, Churchton and Shady Side by an easy commute to Washington, DC, Annapolis and even Baltimore. That in turn lead to more building and more sales to daily commuters. Also it was starting to look like a good place to retire.

Your Waterfront Specialists

In the 1970s, the Sewer came to Franklin Manor and Deale, and Real Estate began to boom. The Baby Boomers hit the Bay. South County was “discovered” and property values took off. Schwartz Realty expanded with a new building at the corner of Routes 256 and 258. South County is still growing but keeping its rural charm. We continue to work with all areas of the market from lower-priced first homes to higher-priced waterfront. And, for the last seven years we were voted:

No. 1 Real Estate Agency IN SOUTH COUNTY

HAPPY NEW YEAR from SCHWARTZ REALTY. We look forward to serving you in 2020.
