What should we do for dinner? t’s a question uttered all over Maryland—all over America for that matter—during the late-afternoon slump when everyone gets a bit hangry and a bit bored. Sure, we know there are things we could eat in the refrigerator at home, probably the same things we find in there week after week: leftovers from dishes we’ve prepared the same way many times over. They’re hardly inspiring when it comes to dinnertime. When we ask a spouse, a roommate, or a friend, “What should we do for dinner?” we are often hoping for the response, “Let’s do something different!” or “Let’s go out!” And when we do get our friends or loved ones to take the bait and agree to go out for dinner, we’ve struck gold. Now, instead of mining the boring prospects inside Tupperware containers in the fridge, we’ll explore all the possibilities a professional chef has dreamed up. We’ll order from a menu a dish that someone else came up with, sourced the ingredients for,

chopped, cooked and presented to us. For those of us who do the bulk of the meal planning and cooking, such a meal is truly a gift. And situated, as we are, in Anne Arundel and Calvert Counties, surrounded by fresh seafood and wholesome farm food, the gift keeps on giving. We enjoy a high concentration of excellent restaurants, from fresh-caught Chesapeake Bay fare to hearty wintertime Irish meals. There are dressy, special-occasion restaurants on the Annapolis waterfront and carryout spots that allow us to devour good food at home in our sweatpants. Sometimes, choosing just one option poses a challenge. That’s where Bay Weekly’s 2020 Dining Guide comes in. Inside these pages, we map out no less than 32 options for those nights when you wish someone else were cooking. For this year’s Dining Guide, the Bay Weekly staff came up with a new way to showcase our community’s food offerings. Yes, you’ll still find information on where to find a restaurant and the type of food it offers. New this year, however,

reviews but I am sure they are very useful to many people. Thank you for continuing to make this paper available.

As a fairly long time subscriber to Chesapeake Bay Magazine and a reader of Bay Weekly I am very glad that CBM is continuing to make Bay Weekly available. I like being able to read (in handy portable dead tree form) some of the content of your Bay Bulletins that also come in my email, and then catch up on other news when at the computer. I am glad that features such as Creature Feature, Gardening, and Sporting Life that I really like from Bay Weekly are continuing. I also like the quirky entries from Free Will Astrology and News of the Weird, and especially the puzzle page and that I can check solutions without waiting until the next issue. Since I don’t get around much anymore I don’t personally use the 8 Days a Week and movie and play

you’ll also find within each entry something that makes that spot special. Does it have a stunning setting? Is the chef in the midst of a menu redesign with several fresh dishes on the way? Perhaps there’s a little-known gem of a dish that only insiders know to order. The 2020 Dining Guide asked restaurants the questions others may not be asking, to get the inside story. With dozens of dining choices, we hope this information helps you decide where to go tonight, or next weekend, or the next time you’re craving sushi. We hope you’ll hang onto these pages, so that when you’re celebrating a birthday, or looking for a sunset spot on the Bay, or just bored with what’s in the refrigerator, you’ll have a quick reference to answer the question, “What should ‫ﵭ‬ we do for dinner?”

—LARRY OF SOLOMONS

Thanks for continuing the Bay Weekly and thanks for keeping the original format. I especially like Wayne Bierbaum’s wildlife reports and I am addicted to the Kriss Kross puzzles. Most of the other stories are very interesting (including News of the Weird) and I often see things I’d like to do in the 8 Days A Week section. I pick up a copy every week and, if I’m out of the area for a while, I have my son pick up a copy for me. (I also read the Chesapeake Bay Magazine since I have a sailboat, have a dock at my house, and one of my sons is a sailing instructor). I am now a retired senior scientist (a microbiologist) from the EPA bio-pesticides program. I also formed the Bayfarer Sailing Club which has now retired also since most of us are older

and don’t sail much anymore. —WILLIAM (BILL) SCHNEIDER OF ANNAPOLIS

Great you’ve carried on the tradition! But I want to say I love “News of the Weird”! It is not “a waste” of my time, at least. It’s the first thing I read. Though sad it is no longer by Chuck Shepherd. Good Luck! —DUANE GELS

Hi, so glad you’re still here. I love newspapers in general. Been reading the Bay Weekly for years. I have liked the newest version and glad to find some of the latest articles are pertinent and interesting. Keep up the good work. Also, I for one enjoy the puzzles, horoscope and even the news of the weird. I use the neighborhood calendar to look for interesting things to attend around the area. I always show the paper to visitors to use as a guide as well. —BEV MACWILLIAMS

MD. GOVERNOR CALLS FOR MORE CRAB WORKER VISAS aryland Governor Larry Hogan is asking the federal government to allow enough seasonal work visas to keep the Maryland seafood industry afloat for the coming season. Hogan sent a letter to the U.S. Departments of Labor and Homeland Security to increase the number of HB2 Nonimmigrant Temporary Program visas, currently capped at 66,000, to the “maximum allowable under federal law.” The governor says that the Eastern Shore’s 20 licensed crab-picking houses need about 500 HB2 seasonal workers. Without those workers, businesses may have to cease or limit operations. The governor says restricting visas hurts Maryland’s “iconic family and small businesses.” He goes so far as to invite Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf and Secretary of Labor Eugene Scalia to visit a local crab house or processor. Last year, Hogan made a similar request, and Homeland Security released 30,000 more visas just in time for the April 1 crab harvest season. Now, the governor says it’s time for Congress and Maryland’s Congressional delegation to find a solution to the visa cap. The letter comes two weeks after representatives of the seafood industry asked the Dorchester County Council to send a letter of their own supporting the release of additional visas. –Meg Walburn Viviano

graphing the monuments along the line. They aim to enter the remaining monuments in the National Register of Historic Places. The Mason-Dixon Line was established based on a 1760s survey to define the Maryland/Pennsylvania/Delaware border. Because of incorrect maps and confusing legal descriptions, the royal charters of the three colonies overlapped. The Calverts and the Penns hired astronomer Charles Mason and surveyor Jeremiah Dixon to survey the

244 miles of disputed land. Stone markers were placed every mile and “crownstones” every five miles, bearing the coat-of-arms from each colony. Some of the original markers are buried or missing, but many still exist and this new survey hopes to preserve them. The Mason-Dixon Line became even more historically significant in 1820, when it became the dividing line between the South, where slavery was See SURVEY on next page

EDGEWATER LAB WARNS OF SMUGGLED INVASIVE MITTEN CRABS he Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) is warning everyone to look out for the invasive Chinese mitten crab, after U.S. Customs and Border Protection have intercepted some 15,000 of the crabs being smuggled into U.S. ports over the last four months. The mitten crab is a seasonal delicacy in Asia and retails for approximately $50 per crab in the United States. But the species competes with native species like the blue crab, with disastrous consequences. Mitten crabs have been found in the Chesapeake Bay as well as Delaware Bay and the Hudson River. The biggest mitten crab busts happened at the Port of Cincinatti, where Customs and Border Protection found 51 shipments of live crabs that originated in China and Hong Kong. They were destined for homes and businesses in multiple states, and the shipments were falsely labeled as tools and clothing. It is illegal to import mitten crabs without a permit, under the Federal Lacey Act. The violations are under review. SERC’s Marine Invasions Research Lab at the center’s campus on the West and Rhode Rivers is dedicated to policing invasive species like the mitten crab. They even have a “Mitten CrabWATCH” website and Mitten Crab Hotline on which you can report crab sightings. To report a crab: https:/mittencrab.nisbase.org/ or call 443-482-2222. SERC urges anyone who catches a mitten crab in regional waters to save it, photograph it, and freeze it. —Meg Walburn Viviano

legal, and the North, where it was not. For slaves escaping to the North, crossing the Mason-Dixon Line meant a much better chance of safely reaching freedom. MGS is asking for anyone whose property runs along the Mason-Dixon

Line to allow the surveyors access, and to share any stories they have about the monuments for historical documentation. Surveyors from MGS, which operates under the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, will travel with proper identification and documentation. MGS is working with the Common-

wealth of Pennsylvania, Maryland Historical Trust, the Maryland Society of Surveyors and the Pennsylvania Society of Land Surveyors on the effort. The two professional societies will do the fieldwork at no cost. The survey is set to begin in February and continue through August 2021. -Meg Walburn Viviano

Fish are implanted with tags to track offshore. Photo: UMCES

RESEARCHERS USE “FISH E-Z PASS” TO TRACK ROCKFISH bout 25 miles off the coast of Ocean City, Maryland researchers have a new way of tracking important Bay fish like striped bass (our beloved rockfish) and Atlantic sturgeon. Fish are implanted with tags that communicate with an acoustic receiver. It’s a sort of E-Z Pass system for fish, recording their comings and goings,

with hopes that the technology will show researchers how fish behavior is impacted by wind turbines, such as those that will be installed offshore of Ocean City. Ellie Rothermel, a Faculty Research Assistant at the Chesapeake Biological Lab in Solomons recently showed Bay Bulletin the tags she and other researchers are surgically implanting in fish to gain this valuable baseline information. “When one of these tags is nearby these receivers, it emits this highpitched signal that is recorded by the receiver and then we’re able to tell when

a fish is nearby,” Rothermel explains. Rothermel is tracking striped bass and Atlantic sturgeon. “We kind of wanted to compare how those two species might behave in the coastal region where we really haven’t been able to study that before.” So for two years Rothermel, her professor Dr. Dave Secor and other researchers studied the area where U.S. Wind plans to build more than 30 turbines. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management funded the project which implanted several hundred fish, each taking about five minutes. For this baseline study, the researchers are looking at how the fish behave now before the turbines are in their path. The hydrophone picks up fish movement in the water. “This design will work well to compare what happened before the towers were put out and what happens afterwards,” says Secor, who secured the funding. Rothermel and the team went out several times, in all seasons. “Both striped bass and sturgeon tend to be absent during the summer, which would indicate to us that might be the best time to build wind turbines in the area.” Will the research play a role in deciding when the turbines are built? A spokesman for U.S. Wind told Bay Bulletin he’s “very interested in the research.” And that’s encouraging to the Chesapeake Biological Lab. “It’s really a great feeling. They actually contacted us to ask about this information and to get our reports on it, so we know that they care,” Rothermel says. ‫ﵭ‬ -Cheryl Costello

Dining on the Bay is best by boat By Kathy Knotts

hesapeake Bay Magazine publisher John Stefancik says one of the best ways to make a lasting memory on the Bay is to point your boat to a waterfront restaurant. Since 2010, Stefancik has been sharing his firsthand accounts of dining on the Bay at regional boat shows in a presentation he calls Dock ‘n’ Dine. “What I hear from people, is their number one favorite thing to do on the Bay is to head to a restaurant by boat,” Stefancik says. “We are uniquely situated here to be able to visit interesting places that are a short or a long distance away, depending on your preference.” Born and raised in a boating family, Stefancik spent summers sharing a Vberth with his brother while his parents took them cruising all over the Chesapeake on weekends and sometimes, for weeks at a time. These days he spends time on the water aboard his center console powerboat, racing sailboats of all sizes and cruising the Bay. He also spent many off-seasons learning and refining marine maintenance skills on an array of his family’s boats. “Different parts of the Bay offer different experiences,” he says. “Some of my favorite places to go by boat in Anne Arundel County are Cantler’s in Annapolis, of course, Donnelly’s Dockside on Deep Creek and The Point Crab House in Arnold. Down in Calvert County, you can’t beat The Drydock,

All of Stefancik’s recommendations have to be complicated – an overnight come from firsthand experience. “I’ve bag is all you need.” He also suggests asking Bayside explored so much of the Bay region, but those places you can reach by boat are restaurants about hourly dockage as spots you would never visit otherwise. many are offering this amenity. “And Like Suicide Bridge Restaurant on the Choptank River—most people aren’t going to drive there just to eat. But by boat you can get to some amazing places.” Now that the family has added more boats to their personal navy, the Stefanciks’ Bay dining options have expanded. “Now that I have three kids, a wife Dock ‘n’ Dine at the Baltimore Boat Show and a dog, it’s become a ritual to go out to eat by boat.

Compass Rose Theater’s Red

“W

hat do you see?” Those are the first words of Red, John Logan’s Tony-winning look at famed abstract impressionist artist Mark Rothko, now being presented by Compass Rose Theater. While Rothko asks the question of his new assistant Ken and is referring to a painting, it could be asked of all of us as we witness this brief yet intense production. What do we see? We see a story that focuses on art’s place in our minds and our world. We see less-is-more staging by director James Bunzli that convinces us we’re in Rothko’s studio in the late 1950s, complete with the artist’s tools: paint, brushes, canvas, classical records and scotch. And we see two excellent actors, Gary Goodson as Rothko and Omar A. Said as his assistant Ken, deftly yet powerfully uncovering the motivations and conflicts of these two captivating characters. The focal point of the show is Rothko’s commissioned work on large murals for the Four Seasons Restaurant in New York City. He justifies it, Ken challenges his boss’s artistic integrity, and the subsequent debate takes us on a winding path through art and how it mirrors life. Goodson’s Rothko is a brusque genius who refuses to play by the rules of the art world. His complete absorption in himself and his work make it nearly impossible for him to know or care about Ken. Goodson’s performance is passionate yet measured, just as the man himself was purported to be. Said gives Ken an appropriate air of idolatry, whose admiration for Rothko never wavers even as he begins to challenge Rothko’s views. But that admiration doesn’t stop Ken from engaging Rothko in deep and often pointed discussions about art, commercialism, and popularity. Goodson and Said are both excellent, brandishing Logan’s dialogue like expert swordsmen. The gradual move from the pedantic pronouncements of a

Gary Goodson (right) plays famed abstract impressionist Mark Rothko with Omar Said (left) as his assistant, Ken. The two engage in deep and pointed discussions about art, commercialism, and popularity, driving the show with on-target honesty. Photo: Stan Barouh teacher to a student, to the student’s on-target honesty, drives the show directly and forcefully. Ken’s recollection of his parents’ murder is especially poignant in the hands of Said, and Goodson’s reaction to the story perfectly captures Rothko’s lack of empathy for anything but his art. And, in line with Rothko’s observation that “Silence is so accurate,” one of the nicest scenes is when the two fervently yet quietly pre-

pare a canvas for painting. It’s quietly emotional yet energetic, and despite being mimed rather than using actual paint, it demonstrates how good art is created by hard work. The same could be said for this production. Runs through Feb. 16 at the Graduate Hotel’s Power House Building; about 80 minutes with no intermission. Tickets $41 ($36 military, seniors, $25 students) at www.compassrosetheater.org or 410-980-6662.

Guy Ritchie returns to the gangster comedy in this fun caper flick ickey Pearson (Matthew McConaughey: The Beach Bum) went from a nobody in Texas to the king of marijuana distribution in England in two decades. He’s beloved by the gentry, feared by other gangsters and celebrated for making high quality strains of weed that no other distributer can touch. If you smoke it, Mickey’s probably got a hand in producing it. But Mickey wants something more in life: Retirement. After a lifetime of clawing and killing to be king, he’s ready to be one of the rich and landed lords he hobnobs with. All he has to do is sell off his business. But nothing is ever that simple in a Guy Ritchie movie. Mickey’s decision sets off a gang war that could take him and the rest of the English underworld down. The key to stopping disaster may lie in Fletcher (Hugh Grant: Paddington 2), a sleazy tabloid investigator who wants to sell his info to the highest bidder. Can Mickey and his band of crooks come out on top? Or is it true that crime doesn’t pay? When he was starting out, director Guy Ritchie (Aladdin) made a name for himself with frenetic twisting caper comedies that plumbed the depths of the English crime world. Then he made truly awful films for about 19 years. It’s heartening to report that The Gentlemen is a successful return to his roots, featuring all the Ritchie hallmarks. Quick cuts in the action scenes make things seem more hectic. Classic rock music punctuates scenes of people looking cool. Dozens of monologues are filled with macho posturing and fanciful turns of phrase. Every outfit is meticulously chosen to be either impossibly stylish or utterly hilarious. This flick is slick, funny and filled with gonzo twists and action.

26 • BAY WEEKLY • January 30 - February 5, 2020

It’s not a perfect film. Ritchie’s humor is forever sophomoric and if you’re unimpressed with swagger-filled speeches and crude humor, this likely won’t amuse. Though everyone’s technically a bad guy in this movie, the Asian mob is set up as the worst of the bunch and a lot of the movie’s humor comes from the white criminals mocking them. Still, this is an A+ cast that makes the material shine. Grant gives a stellar performance as the sleaziest man to ever attempt a blackmail scheme. His flirtatious tête-à-tête with Mickey’s beleaguered right hand man Raymond (Charlie Hunnam: Jungleland) is one of the best parts of the movie. Colin Farrell (Dumbo) also earns laughs as Coach, a boxing coach desperately trying to turn around a passel of young criminals by teaching them the art of fisticuffs. His sincere love paired with some truly bonkers choices makes him the most endearing person in this hive of scum and villainy. If you’re a fan of Ritchie’s early work, or just want to watch Hugh Grant flirt shamelessly with the right hand to a crime lord, The Gentlemen is worth the ticket. If, however, you’re looking for something subtle and nuanced, then you’ve probably never heard of Guy Ritchie in the first place. Good Action Caper * R * 113 mins.

The Rhythm Section When her family is killed in a plane crash, Stephanie’s (Blake Lively) world falls apart. When she learns

that the crash was a deliberate act of terrorism, she’s enraged. Lost and with absolutely nothing to lose, Stephanie decides to exact a pound of flesh from those who ruined her life by training to become a one-woman army. The studio clearly wants this to be a Bond-like series, a thriller with international intrigue. Between the hackneyed writing and Lively’s ridiculous British accent, this movie isn’t promising. If you’re looking for a thriller featuring a tough female protagonist, renting Atomic Blonde is cheaper than the price of this mess. Prospects: Dim * R * 109 mins.

Gretel & Hansel Abandoned in the countryside, Gretel (Sophia Lillis) must fend for herself and her brother (Sammy Leakey). Hungry and exposed, she has little option but to lead her brother further into the woods. The siblings find a house and a seemingly nice woman willing to take them in. But there’s something sinister happening in the woods and Gretel may be the only one who can get them to safety. Directed by Oz Perkins (son of horror legend Anthony), Gretel & Hansel is a visually arresting take on the classic fairytale. With interesting cinematography this could be a fascinating horror flick. It is a January release, however, meaning that the quality could be subpar. The fact that it’s under 90 minutes means that if this is a mistake, at least it’ll be a quick one. Prospects: Flickering * PG-13 * 87 mins. ‫ﵭ‬

What are PVP seeds? A

s those glorious seed catalogs begin to fill up your mailbox over the winter months, you may notice the notation PVP next to their descriptions. Plant Variety Protection (PVP) seeds are those produced by anyone who is a breeder of a unique variety of sexually reproduced or tuber-propagated plants.

In 1939, the Federal Seed Act was introduced to promote accurate labeling and purity for seeds in commerce and prohibits import or movement of adulterated or misbranded seeds. This law works in conjunction with the Plant Protection Act of 2000 to authorize the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service to regulate the import of field crop,

pasture and forage or vegetable seed that may contain noxious weed seeds. The USDA Agricultural Mar-

keting Service is responsible for enforcing the act. The PVP Act was enacted in 1970 and amended in 1994 to include potatoes and other tubers. The voluntary program provides patent-like rights to breeders, developers and owners of plant varieties, giving them up to 25 years of exclusive control over new, distinct, uniform and stable sexually reproduced or tuber propagated plant varieties. New plant varieties can take years to develop. Most plant breeders rely on income from their varieties to pay for their work. This is why breeders seek out intellectual property protection in one form or another, insuring they are credited for and able to profit from the varieties they created. The most common intellectual property rights mechanisms are patents and PVPs. In general PVP is sought for open-

pollinated (non-hybrid) varieties, however hybrid varieties may still be used. A grower may save the seeds of a PVP variety for planting for their own use only but cannot legally distribute the seeds in any way. Only when PVP has expired can seed production for distribution be allowed. An alternative to patents and PVP is the Open Source Seed Initiative. Modeled after other open source materials like computer software to support access to varieties and plant genetics for use by all, whether it is planting, seed saving or the development of new-varieties, OSSI disallows patents or PVP protection. ‫ﵭ‬

CREATURE FEATURE

BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

A murmuration of starlings

Murmurations T

wo weeks ago, I was driving alongside a large field on Maryland’s Eastern Shore and saw a spectacular display of coordinated bird flight. A flock of hundreds or even thousands of red-winged blackbirds were flying in a tight formation while turning and flowing—also called a murmuration. The flock would shoot up with an explosion high into the air and then in a twisting undulation drop low to the ground. A red-tailed hawk was direct-

ing the movements as it followed the flock. As I was trying to get a camera out to film the flock, the blackbirds suddenly landed and the hawk flew away. A murmuration is a flock’s tight flight pattern in a common direction while avoiding collisions with each other. The flock follows a leader in one direction but as that leader turns, a new one takes over. Predators, food location, roosting sites and plain nervousness can incite the action. The amazing thing about murmurations is that the birds in the middle don’t know where or why they

are moving and yet have to fly fast and avoid running into other birds. There are three types of birds in Maryland that cause these complex flights: red-winged blackbirds, common grackles and European starlings. All three form large flocks in the fall and winter and can fly several miles each day from roosting to feeding areas. Of the three, starlings tend to be most spectacular in their group flights. The European starling is not native to the Americas but was once mentioned by William Shakespeare, sparking the release of 60 birds into

New York’s Central Park. Now they are everywhere. Starlings are medium-sized birds with white tipped feathers and a yellow bill. Their murmurations have been filmed for movies and TV. One of the best examples was published as a short film by National Geographic, “Flight of the Starlings” (Nov. 15, 2016; youtube.com/watch?v=V4f_1_r80RY). The best areas to see these dramatic flights is near large open grain farmlands. I frequently see them while driving the back roads of the Eastern Shore. ‫ﵭ‬

Mid-Winter Inspection A

If your sonar died over the winter you can easily purchase a new unit and it will be better than your older machine. But if you don’t identify that problem now, come spring just you try getting it installed and running properly before July. It could be even worse for engines or other electronic problems that have gone unnoticed during the harshest season. A general operational assessment can be a fairly simple affair for those of us with easy access to our boats. Mine for instance is on its trailer in my driveway

nglers in particular and boaters in general should note the good news of the day: from now on our weather will theoretically only get better. We are halfway through winter and the hours of sunshine have been getting longer since mid-December (two minutes more daily). Although the cold temps will continue to plunge periodically for maybe another month, we’ll be able to shed our socks in another six or seven weeks. We’ve seen the majority of winter and our warm sunny clime is getting inevitably closer. The big question now should be, are you ready to enjoy the new season? For many of us that question can be asked more specifically, “How has my boat handled the winter?” It would be an excellent idea to confirm your craft and its gear are in good operating condition. Springtime is too late to Don’t do this alone. address any problems that and though it’s under a stout weather occurred over the winter.

Pickerel and yellow perch are the game in the sweeter sections of the Tidewater but TAUTOG and STRIPERS are getting a fair share of attention at seaside. Pickerel and perch are taking small minnow, lip hooked on jigs or shad darts and suspended under bobbers. Keep the baits near the bottom and move them erratically and slowly. Tautog and stripers are the targets oceanside. It’s sand fleas, green crab and clam pieces for the blackfish and eels, bloodworms, big minnows, jigs and big spoons for the linesides. and not iced up or plugged with debris. Water in the hull can cause serious problems over the winter. Check trailer tires, taking a pressure reading and comparing it to the standards. My small skiff trailer tires, surprisingly, recommend 70 pound of pressure. It is common during a Maryland winter to experience wild swings in temperatures. The resulting expansion and contraction of the tire’s rubber sidewalls against its steel wheel materials can result in a loss of pressure. If it’s not corrected before you hit the highways it can result in a potentially critical problem at 65 miles per hour. Next check your batteries. Modern engines and electronics continue to draw small amounts of amperage even when the gear is turned off. They are monitoring programs that continue to operate and eventually they will draw down the battery. If you leave your batteries connected and the charge is low enough for long enough, the battery can fail completely and will have to be replaced. If your boat is wrapped in plastic sheeting, any kind of close inspection is

difficult. You can cut an entrance into the sheeting to allow a cursory inspection. Use a box cutter or sharp knife, a good flashlight and some tape to close your entrance once you’ve completed the tour. Call the company that did the wrapping to identify which type of tape is appropriate for resealing. Take care when accessing your craft this time of year, wherever it is. Ice and snow can be a slippery issue, especially if you use a ladder. Icy surfaces can persist a long time in enclosed spaces. Just because it’s warm outside doesn’t mean all the ice is gone. Always have a companion close at hand. I’ve heard of some captains that had to phone home for help rather than risk a leap to the ground when their access ladder slid from the boat. A fall onto frozen ground or concrete aprons can be devastating. If your boat is wintering in the water take special precautions. Fatalities are, tragically, not uncommon in marinas and dock areas this time of year. Never visit your boat alone—a dunking which would be only embarrassing during summer is easily deadly this time of year. You will not last long in cold water and it is virtually impossible to climb back on a dock with sodden winter clothing, even if you can find an access ladder. ‫ﵭ‬

Friendship, MD 20758

BY ROB BREZNY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You now have the power to make connections that have not previously been possible. You can tap into an enhanced capacity to forge new alliances and strengthen your support system. I urge you to be on the lookout for a dynamic group effort you could join or a higher purpose you might align yourself with. If you're sufficiently alert, you may even find an opportunity to weave your fortunes together with a dynamic group effort that's in service to a higher purpose.

Friends and colleagues but not lovers, they had a playful relationship with each other. A favorite pastime was figuring out tricks they could try that would cause the other to break into inappropriate laughter while performing. According to my quirky reading of the astrological omens, Leo, the coming weeks will be a propitious time for you to engage in similar hijinx with your allies. You have a poetic license and a spiritual mandate to enjoy amusing collaborative experiments, playful intimate escapades, and adventures in buoyant togetherness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Victory won't come to me unless I go to it, wrote the poet Marianne Moore. In other words, you must track down each victory you're interested in. You must study its unique nature. And then you must adjust yourself to its specifications. You can't remain just the way you are, but must transform yourself so as to be in alignment with the responsibilities it demands of you. Can you pass these tests, Taurus? I believe you can. It's time to prove it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): While at the peak of his powers as an author, Gemini-born Nobel Prizewinner Jean Paul Sartre consumed an array of mood-shifters every day. He quaffed at least a quart of alcohol, smoked two packs of cigarettes, and drank copious amounts of coffee and tea. His intake of pills included 200 milligrams of amphetamines, 15 grams of aspirin, and a handful of barbiturates. I propose that we make Sartre your antirole model during the next four weeks, dear Gemini. According to my analysis of your astrological indicators, your ability to discover, attract, and benefit from wonders and marvels will thrive to the degree that you forswear drugs and alcohol and artificial enhancements. And I'm pleased to inform you that there could be a flood of wonders and marvels.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I don't think I'm boring. How could I be? I have an abundant curiosity and I love to learn new things. I've worked at many different jobs, have read widely, and enjoy interacting with a broad range of humans. Yet now and then I've had temporary relationships with people who regarded me as uninteresting. They didn't see much of value in me. I tend to believe it was mostly their fault—they couldn't see me for who I really am—but it may have also been the case that I lived down to their expectations. Their inclination to see me as unimportant influenced me to be dull. I bring this up, my fellow Cancerian, because now is an excellent time to remove yourself from situations where you have trouble being and feeling your true self.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Soprano Helen Traubel and tenor Lauritz Melchior performed together in many productions of Wagnerian operas, often at the Metropolitan in New York City.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Eighteenth-century author Samuel Johnson singlehandedly compiled the influential A Dictionary of the English Language, which remained the definitive British dictionary for 170 years. We shouldn't be surprised that it was a Virgo who accomplished such an intricate and exhaustive feat. As a highminded Virgo, Johnson also had a talent for exposing hypocrisy. In commenting on the Americans' War of Independence against his country, he noted that some of the “loudest yelps for liberty” came from slave-owners. I propose that we make him one of your role models in 2020. May he inspire you to produce rigorous work that's useful to many. May he also empower you to be a candid purveyor of freedom.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Is there a project or situation you'd love to create but have lacked the confidence to try? Now is a time when you can finally summon the necessary courage. Is there a long-running dilemma that has always seemed too confusing and overwhelming to even understand, let alone solve? Now is a favorable time to ask your higher self for the clear vision that will instigate an unforeseen healing. Is there a labor of love that seems to have stalled or a dream that got sidetracked? Now is a time when you could revive its luminosity and get it back in a sweet groove.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Was there a more influential 20th-century artist than Scorpio-born Pablo Picasso? He was a revolutionary innovator who got rich from his creations. Once, while visiting a gallery showing of art made by children, he said, “When I was their age I could draw like Raphael [the great Renaissance artist]. But it took me a lifetime to learn to draw like they do.” In accordance with your current astrological omens, Scorpio, I suggest you seek inspiration from Picasso's aspiration. Set an intention to develop expertise in seeing your world and your work through a child's eyes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I know a Sagittarius man who has seen the film Avengers: Endgame 17 times. Another Sagittarian acquaintance estimates she has listened all the way through to Billie Eilish's album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? 135 times. And then there's

my scholarly Sagittarian friend who has read the ancient Greek epic poem the Iliad 37 times. I have no problem with this behavior. I admire your tribe's ability to keep finding new inspiration in sources you already know well. But in my astrological opinion, you shouldn't do much of this kind of thing in the coming weeks. It's high time for you to experiment with experiences you know little about. Be fresh, innocent, and curious.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Athens was one of the great cities of the ancient world. Its vigorous art, theater, philosophy, architecture, and experiments in democracy are today regarded as foundational to Western culture. And yet at its height, Athens' population was a mere 275,000—equal to modern Fort Wayne, Indiana or Windsor, Ontario. How could such a relatively small source breed such intensity and potency? That's a long story. In any case, I foresee you having the potential to be like Athens yourself in the coming weeks and months, Capricorn: a highly concentrated fount of value. For best results, focus on doing what you do best.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): According to my analysis, the year 2020 will be a time when you can have dramatic success as you re-evaluate and re-vision and revamp your understandings of your life purpose. Why were you born? What's the nature of your unique genius? What are the best gifts you have to offer the world? Of the many wonderful feats you could accomplish, which are the most important? The next few weeks will be a potent time to get this fun and energizing investigation fully under way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Physicist Niels Bohr won a Nobel Prize for his insights about quantum mechanics. But he was humble about the complexity of the subject. “If you think you understand it, that only shows you don’t know the first thing about it,” he mused. I'm tempted to make a similar statement about the mysteries and riddles that are making your life so interesting. If you think you understand those mysteries and riddles, you probably don't. But if you're willing to acknowledge how perplexing they are, and you can accept the fact that your comprehension of them is partial and fuzzy, then you might enjoy a glimmer of the truth that's worth building on.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

COMPILED BY ANDREWS McMEEL SYNDICATION Birdbrained • Officers of the North Wales (England) Police believe they have solved, with help from the government Animal and Plant Health Agency, the mystery of why more than 200 starlings were found dead in a road in Bodedern on Dec. 10. Rob Taylor of the police force's rural crime team revealed that the birds suffered severe internal trauma, “support(ing) the case that the birds died from impact with the road,” he told Sky News. “It's highly likely the murmuration took avoiding action whilst airborne, from possibly a bird of prey, with the rear of the group not pulling up in time and striking the ground.” • In the western German city of Kleve, a regional court in mid-January overruled a lower court and awarded the owner of a chicken mauled by a dog higher restitution because the chicken had TV experience. Sieglinde the chicken, who died in the attack, had completed 10 hours of acting training and had appeared in at least one German movie, for which she received a three-figure daily fee. The court ordered the dog's owner to pay 615 euros (about $680) in damages, the Associated Press reported. A regular chicken is worth about 15 euros.

Weird Science On Jan. 22, the National Weather Service expanded its cold-weather warnings in South Florida to include falling iguanas along with falling temperatures. According to the Associated Press, the NWS alerted folks that the reptiles can become stunned by the cold and fall from their perches in trees. As temperatures rise during the day, they wake up, unharmed. Males can grow to 5 feet long and weigh 20 pounds. They aren't considered to be dangerous to humans (unless they land on your head).

Animal Farm A Polish pig farmer in his 70s who had been missing since Dec. 31 is believed to have been eaten by his livestock, Fox News reported. Lubin District Prosecutor Magdalena Serafin told local media the farmer's remains, consisting of bones and skull fragments, were found by a neighbor, who called police after spotting the bones while fetching water from a nearby well on Jan. 8. The farmer's animals were roaming freely in the yard, and officials indicated it was clear that the pigs had feasted on him. They suspect he died of a fall or heart attack.

Extreme Measures An unnamed 55-year-old man from the town of Pitalito, Colombia, got cold feet before his scheduled marriage over the weekend of Jan. 18, but lacked the courage to tell his fiancee. Instead, with the help of his best friends, he faked his

own kidnapping, reported Oddity Central. The groom's pals told authorities they had seen a group of armed men on motorcycles abduct their friend, and because kidnappings for extortion are not unknown in Colombia, the local police responded in force. Police Commander Nestor Vargas ordered roads closed, sealing off the town, and began a search. That's when the friends got nervous and admitted they'd made the whole thing up. Authorities kept the groom's identity a secret to protect him from other townspeople, who've been down this road before: This is the second time the groom has left a bride waiting at the altar. He and his cohorts will likely face jail time of up to six years.

Oops! • In Toronto, the streetcar tunnel into Queen Quay Station is protected by an automatic gate, rumble strips, flashing lights and signs warning automobile drivers not to enter. But at 2 a.m. on Jan. 22, one driver managed to ignore or overlook all the warnings, driving his car about 600 meters through the tunnel before arriving at Union Station and becoming stuck on a concrete block, the CBC reported. “We're sort of hardpressed to think of any other measures we can take at this point” to deter drivers, a spokesman for the Toronto Transit Commission said, “short of closing the tunnel, and that's not an option.” • It's been unseasonably cold in Florida (see Falling Iguanas item), and one St. Petersburg man apparently became so desperate for warmth on Jan. 21 he set fire to a stack of paperwork in his apartment around 3 a.m. WFLA reported that the flames Mark Okrent, 66, ignited were significant enough to trigger smoke detectors, which summoned the fire department, but no one in the 30-unit building was hurt in the incident. Except Okrent, who was charged with firstdegree arson.

News That Sounds Like a Joke If you've always thought those nail clippers in your kitchen drawer were a harmless tool, think again. Kathleen Ayala, 30, has been charged with murder in Cumberland County, New Jersey, following an altercation with her husband on Jan. 12, the Associated Press reported. Authorities said Ayala, of Millville, and 35-year-old Axel Torres got into an argument in their home that became physical, and Torres left the premises. Ayala chased after him and stabbed him numerous times with the nail file tool on the clippers, causing wounds to his feet, hands, shoulders and left leg. When police arrived, they found Torres unresponsive and transported him to the hospital, where he died the next morning.

The Last Straw

Awesome!

After numerous complaints going back six months, according to a neighbor, Robert Wayne Miller, 57, was arrested at his Zephyrhills, Florida, home on Dec. 22 for disturbing the peace with his lawn mower. Body-camera footage obtained by WFLA shows Pasco County Deputy Michael O'Donnell arriving at Miller's property and calling out to him, followed by a revving of the mower's engine. “I've had four people come out and tell me that they can't take it anymore,” O'Donnell told Miller, who responded, “Whatever,” before turning on the mower again. Dwaine White, who lives across the street, told The Washington Post the mower isn't even capable of cutting grass. “He'll run that tractor all night, and it echoes all over the neighborhood,” White said. Miller was ultimately arrested for disturbing the peace and not complying with a law enforcement officer's command. If convicted, he could spend 18 months in jail and pay a $1,500 fine.

Downtown Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is a little safer these days, thanks to the efforts of Night Watch, a helpful vigilante dressed in all black, with his face partially covered and wearing reflective goggles, WGHP reported on Jan. 22. “I'm not looking to be a Batman and go around beating up criminals,” he told a reporter. Instead, he's an anonymous superhero who's been patrolling the nighttime streets for about a month, hauling around a bag filled with food, clothing and toiletries for those in need. “There is no prerequisite for being a good person,” Night Watch said. On that night, he helped out about a dozen homeless people in the community. “It's just nice that people aren't totally freaked out,” he said. “Now they know who I am and that I'm trying to help.” ‫ﵭ‬ Send your weird news items with subject line WEIRD NEWS to WeirdNewsTips@amuniversal.com.

The Inside Word

by Bill Sells

How many two or more letter words can you make in 2 minutes from the letters in: Amateurs (40 words) In the Latin world, an Amateur was someone who simply loved a certain sport or subject whether or not they were actively involved in competition or cooperation. Amar, meaning 'to love,' meant participants would forgo anything other than appreciating the event. This thought was carried over into tennis where the zero score is called 'love.' Players enjoyed the game so much they would play for nothing – no wager – merely the love of the game. But now, when a player's score remains love, the player should truly consider only continuing as an amateur. Scoring: 31 - 40 = Aloft; 26 - 30 = Ahead; 21 - 25 = Aweigh; 16 - 20 = Amidships; 11 - 15 = Aboard; 05 - 10 = Adrift; 01 - 05 = Aground
