Summer Camp: Plan Now for Memories Later

I

know what you’re thinking: The Bay Weekly camp guide!? Already?

Yes, believe it or not, our clocks “spring forward” this weekend for Daylight Saving Time, and the official start of spring is in just two weeks. That means spring break is upon us, and the end of the school year looms ever closer for Anne Arundel and Calvert County families.

Sure, most of us look forward to warmer weather, vacations, and getting back out on the Chesapeake Bay. But for parents of school-aged children, mid-June through September is a long time. It’s no small feat to keep kids occupied without the daily rhythm and familiar routines of the school year. For working parents, childcare becomes a significant obstacle in the summer. And worst of all, the risk of that dreaded kid phrase, I’m bored, runs high.

Growing up in Severna Park as the only child of two full-time working parents with long commutes, summer camp was the solution. My mom signed me up for camps galore: sailing camp, pony camp, music camp, ballet camp, field hockey camp, Bible camp and Girl Scout

camp. The lineup helped solve my parents’ problem of what to do with me when I was too young to stay home alone, and when I became old enough to get into trouble at home alone.

Those camps had plenty of other benefits, too.

They thrust me into new activities with new groups of kids and taught me new skills. Ballet camp was an exercise in discipline and field hockey taught me determination as we raced for the ball in the July heat. Music camp kept me from forgetting how to play the notes when I returned to the school band in the fall. And sailing camp taught me, well, that it’s always more fun on the water.

Not every moment of every camp was fun. At sleep-away Girl Scout camp, I stared all night at the daddy longlegs perched upside down on the canvas tent flaps directly above my bed. I feared the swim test required to participate in pool activities. But I eventually took the test and passed.

I learned, as good Girl Scouts do, how to hold my nose and clean a latrine. I can think of a lot of unpleasant things I’ve had to hold my nose and do as an adult, and latrine-cleaning prepared me well.

Being new to the area I really enjoyed Steve Carr’s article on local parks and getting outdoors during winter to enjoy them (A Winter Trifecta, Feb. 20, 2020; bayweekly.com/ articles/good-living/article/ winter-trifecta).

I was wondering if he could recommend a local park that would be a good place to take my young grandchildren for a nice walk? I am looking for something more than the local playground in their neighborhood.

Thanks,

I learned silly camp songs (Black socks, they never get dirty; the longer you wear them, the blacker they get…) and wholesome games like Drip, Drip, Drop (a version of Duck, Duck, Goose in which you dump water on the heads of other players).

I left Girl Scout camp, and all the others, with memories still fresh some 25 years later. And that’s what we hope all children gain from summertime activities.

Bay Weekly’s camp guide is full of camps that offer kids—from preschool to high school—new experiences and new skills. When I was a kid there was no Fortnite video game-themed camp, metal-fabrication art camp, or live-aboard sailboat cruising camp. Find all those unique activities in our 2020 guide alongside the tried-and-true classics. As the Bay Weekly staff worked hard to put this week’s guide together, I found myself wishing I could spend just one more summer at camp. p — MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM NEWS DIRECTOR

Port of Baltimore

MD PORTS ANNOUNCE CORONAVIRUS PROCEDURES he Maryland Port Administration (MPA) is getting ahead of the coronavirus threat, announcing the precautions being taken at the Port of Baltimore—including changes to cruise passenger screenings.

In a letter to employees and tenants of the port, MPA says that cruise terminal passengers will be denied access to their cruise if anyone in their party visited or traveled through coronavirus-impacted areas in the last 14 days—or if they had contact with people who visited or traveled through those areas in the last 14 days.

Carnival and Royal Caribbean have both instituted screening measures for passengers. Baltimore’s cruise terminal operator, Intercruises, will have staff at the terminal asking passengers for passports. Those with passports from coronavirus-impacted areas (who haven’t been to those areas in the last 14 days) will get secondary screening in a separate building.

If anyone fails a screening test, the ship’s doctor will contact the CDC, Coast Guard and Customs and Border Protection, as well as appropriate state agencies, according to MPA. On the shipping side of the Port of Baltimore, MPA says vessels on their way to the port must notify the Coast Guard 96 hours before entering U.S. waters and must report any ill crew

T

members or passengers within the past 15 days. If a vessel does have any ill patients on board, the Coast Guard will notify the CDC, who will oversee vessel quarantine and isolation.

Vessels already at berth will follow the same procedures, and MPA will handle the vessel while it’s alongside the pier.

MPA Acting Executive Director David M. Thomas says in the letter to port tenants, “The health and well-being of each of you is extremely important to us,” and says the agency will provide updates as frequently as necessary.

MPA stresses that there are no confirmed cases of coronavirus in Maryland.

There are cases in 50 locations worldwide, according to the CDC, including the United States. This new Coronavirus, known as COVID-19, is a respiratory disease that can cause serious illness and can spread person-to-person.

The current outbreak was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China.

The CDC says the potential public health threat posed by COVID-19 is high, both globally and to the United States, but individual risk is dependent on exposure. The immediate risk to the general American public is currently considered low, but for healthcare workers treating COVID-19 cases, it’s much higher. The CDC says its risk assessment would change if coronavirus reaches the level of a pandemic, which it calls “likely.”

HARP SEAL RESCUED IN OCEAN CITY RECOVERING female harp seal is recovering at the National Aquarium in Baltimore after she was rescued from the beach in Ocean City, Maryland. The seal was saved, with the help of the Maryland Coastal Bays Program, February 23rd. She is now at the aquarium’s Animal Rescue Care and Rescue Center in Baltimore. Aquarium staff determined the seal was suffering from extreme dehydration, and gave her fluids combined with tube-fed fish gruel.

The aquarium’s Animal Rescue team has a tradition of naming the animals it treats with a different theme each year. This year’s theme for rescue seals is storybook characters, and this harp seal is nicknamed Amelia Bedelia,

A

after the series of children’s books about a maid prone to malapropism.

Amelia Bedelia is the second rescued seal being treated at the Aquarium’s state-of-the-art rescue center. The first, a gray seal pup nicknamed Pippi Longstocking, was saved from Dewey Beach in early February with an infected flipper, malnourished and dehydrated.

The National Aquarium’s Animal Rescue program responds to stranded marine mammals and sea turtles along Maryland’s 3,190 miles of coastline. The team reminds everyone that if you see a stranded animal on the beach, do not touch or approach it, and keep pets away.

Instead, carefully note the location and time of day and report the stranding to the National Aquarium’s Stranded Animal Hotline at 410-576-3880.

MD. FIGHTS FOR INVASIVE BLUE CATFISH HARVEST SUPPORT iting a pressing need to better control the spread of blue catfish through commercial harvest, Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is supporting the state General Assembly’s joint resolution that urges Congress to relax inspection rules the agency says hinder the harvest and sale of this invasive species.

DNR argues that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) requirement of having an inspector on premises during processing, and the fact that inspectors’ schedules don’t often mesh with those of seafood wholesalers results in significant costs to the dealer. Moreover, according to DNR, all other seafood products must be cleared from processing rooms, which disrupts business and lost productivity.

“Current inspection rules deter catfish dealers and watermen from targeting this invasive species, due to a low return on investment and their restricted ability to get the product to market,” said DNR Secretary Jeannie Haddaway Riccio in a statement. “Maryland was on the path to controlling this invasive species and these strict regulations cripple our ability to execute this solution.”

The joint resolution was heard last week in the State House and Senate but no vote has been taken yet as of Monday.

The agency’s overarching goal is to spur action in Congress, which has authority over these regulations.

Blue catfish, introduced from the Mississippi River basin into the Chesapeake watershed in the 1970s, are now abundant in all major Chesapeake rivers, and pose a significant threat to Bay’s ecosystem due to their increasing populations and capacity to consume massive quantities of food. Because they are opportunistic omnivores, they’ll eat whatever is available in a river system, putting at risk native species such as yellow perch, shad, crabs and stripers.

RARE MD. OYSTER TIN SELLS IN OHIO AUCTION FOR $16,800 n old oyster tin bearing the Wild Duck label out of Baltimore has sold at auction for an eye-popping $16,800.

And it was found in the most unlikely of places—at a farm in western Ohio.

Auctioneer Troy Kies tells Bay Bulletin that an older lady in Anna, Ohio asked him to look for anything that might be worth selling at her old farmhouse. In the attic Kies found what he thought was “a real pretty can”– a gallon-sized Wild Duck oyster tin, packed

by R. E. Roberts Co. of Baltimore.

Kies says he knew oyster tins were collectible, but didn’t realize just how valuable this one might be until he posted it in an online auction. Someone reached out right away, offering to pay $10,000 on the spot and fly to Ohio to pick up it— if Kies would cancel the auction.

Kies declined, realizing he had a highly valuable item.

“Somebody said to me, ‘You found the holy grail of oyster cans!’ I’ve never found the one in a class that everybody’s looking for before…and right here in Anna, Ohio.”

Knowing the most interest would likely be in the mid-Atlantic, Kies targeted an East Coast audience with ads on Facebook and other auction sites.

Bids ramped up to five figures before selling at $16,800.

Pete Lesher, chief curator at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum (CBMM), says it’s the highest price, by

A

far, he’s ever heard of for a collectible oyster tin. The museum has one Wild Duck brand tin of its own, acquired from a collector in 2002.

“Only a handful of these attractive tins—probably fewer than a dozen– are known to survive in collections today. The combination of their rarity and the attractive graphic combine to boost their value for collectors.”

The Wild Duck tin would have contained fresh raw oysters that had been shucked, washed and packed with ice.

Lesher says for some reason, not many Wild Duck tins survived.

R.E. Roberts oyster packing company, which produced the Wild Duck brand, was better known for its Maryland Beauty oysters. R.E. Roberts was one of many packing houses in the city, when the Chesapeake Bay was yielding more oysters than any other oyster ground in the world.

“Baltimore was the center of the oyster packing industry from its height in the 1870s and 1880s through the early 20th century, with scores of packing houses lining the Baltimore waterfront,” Lesher explains.

Lesher says the tins are popular for collecting today because they represent an industry that was so economically important on the Chesapeake Bay. The tins celebrate a regional heritage.

You can see CBMM’s Wild Duck tin and the rest of its 600-piece oyster memorabilia collection at the St. Michaels museum’s Oystering on the Chesapeake exhibition.

Research suggests, however, that to control, much less reverse, the fish’s growth is a daunting task. According to a recent Virginia Tech study, biologists say, “the harvest will need to increase substantially over current levels to influence the biomass of blue catfish.”

A Virginia Institute of Marine Science study led by professor Mary Fabrizio could find no precedent for an invasive fish reaching such densities. Her team found that 1.6 million blue catfish were living in a 12-kilometer stretch near the mouth of the Chickahominy River, which equates to 544 per hectare (2.47 acres).

By way of comparison, the northern snakehead averages about 3 per hectare, and the highly destructive invasive lion fish that threatens native fish populations in the Bahamas and Keys number 101 per hectare.

Maryland biologists are particularly concerned about the growing blue cat population in the Patuxent River. Additionally, researchers conducting a Baywide fish survey last fall caught dozens of blue cats at the mouth of the Potomac for the first time. Virginia biologists have caught them in small creeks on the lower Eastern Shore, which is surprising given the normally high salinity. Charter captains and private anglers fishing in the Annapolis area tell Bay Bulletin that they routinely catch blue cats above and below the Bay Bridges.

Fishery managers and biologists acknowledge the trade-offs of reducing a blue cat population, especially the larger fish as they are great sport for recreational anglers. For example, the Virginia’s James River, where current estimates find blue catfish make up about 80 percent of the fish biomass, was at one point the epicenter of a world-class trophy fishery on the East Coast worth millions of dollars a year. Yet, many of those huge fish that drew trophy hunters from throughout the U.S. and Canada are gone, having been replaced by more abundant, smaller blue cats.

For the challenge and sense of personal accomplishment, yes, but primarily to raise awareness of and funds to support the Oyster Recovery Partnership (ORP), a 26-year-old nonprofit that works to restore the Bay’s oyster population through actions including oyster restoration, shell recycling, aquaculture, monitoring, and outreach and education.

“I think most people don’t know what oysters actually do other than serve as a good appetizer,” says Hopkinson.

That was true for him until he discovered the shellfish’s importance to the Bay while replicating an ORP video of oysters filtering water in an aquarium tank for his daughter’s elementary school science fair project. He decided he wanted to do something to support their—and therefore the Bay’s—health.

A few years later, Hopkinson reached out to ORP with the “crazy idea” of paddling the Chesapeake for its benefit. After its initial shock, ORP realized how serious he was and decided to accept the offer and lend its full support to the pursuit.

“We were automatically drawn to this campaign because it was fun, novel and completely different, which is what we aim for here at ORP,” says Karis King, ORP spokeswoman. “We want to truly engage people and make oyster education, awareness and action interesting while setting real, tangible goals. This checks all those boxes.”

Hopkinson will support this mission by participating in outreach events this summer, inviting the public to paddle with him on individual legs of the trip, and promoting ORP at each port stop.

The public can learn more about the Bay Paddle and oysters, donate to ORP, and, in the near future, purchase official Bay Paddle-branded clothing and swag at BayPaddle.org.

Opera for All Annapolis Opera speaks a universal language

BY STEVE ADAMS

ong, boring, complicated, humorless, and plotless are adjectives that come to some people’s minds when they think of the opera.

But are these sentiments based not on what we’ve experienced but rather on what we’ve assumed, serving as easy excuses to avoid something that we’re too intimidated to try? The artists at Annapolis Opera want to break down your excuses.

“Most people react to the word ‘opera’ without ever having experienced it,”

L

8 • BAY WEEKLY • March 5 - March 12, 2020

says Ronald Gretz, who retires in June after 37 years as Annapolis Opera’s artistic director. “They might think that you need to know a lot about music to appreciate it or know the language that it’s in to follow what’s happening, but that’s simply not true—music is a universal language.”

“There was a shift in perception about classical music, and opera in particular, in the first half of the 20th century,” says Kathy Swekel, Annapolis Opera’s general director since 2014. “The perception became that opera was only for rich or snobby people. But the fact is that opera was originally a community event for everyone. It told a story set to

music and had singing, dancing, beautiful sets, and costumes... And while many people might not know it, much of American musical theatre is a direct descendent of opera—for example West Side Story is Romeo and Juliet, Miss Saigon is Madame Butterfly, and Rent is La Boheme. We just need to continue reminding people that opera is fun for all.”

Swekel and Gretz are making opera fun by creating “opera the Annapolis way” and making it accessible and attractive for people of all types and ages.

One way they are doing this is providing subtitles at every performance,

not just the popular operas performed in Italian, French, German, or Russian, but even during those performed in English. Annapolis Opera also coordinates lectures ahead of each opera, covering everything from its history to its composer to its plot, so audiences know what to listen for during the performance.

Of course subtitles and background don’t mean much if the opera itself isn’t engaging. To that end, throughout his 50-performance tenure Gretz has featured young singers, many in lead roles for the first time, in shorter productions such as La Traviata, Barber of Seville, Little Women, Carmen, Magic Flute, South Pacific, and H.M.S Pinafore.

“My job is to make the notes on the page come alive, so I make a point to showcase young singers, most between 20 and 35, who are full of excitement and camaraderie,” says Gretz. “I strive to make sure the singers are relaxed and not worrying. Because if the cast is enjoying the performance, the audience senses the enthusiasm and reaps the benefits.”

Gretz appropriately chose Carlisle Floyd’s tragic American opera Susannah to serve as his directorial swan song. Based on the biblical story Susannah and the Elders, the 1954 opera is set in rural Tennessee and rich with Appalachian folk music.

The opera is about a beautiful and virtuous 18-year-old girl who inadvertently incites the lust of her church elders, is accused of being a seductress, and refuses to repent for her alleged sins, all leading to disastrous consequences. While the opera clearly alludes to the McCarthy era in which it was written, its themes of men in power behaving badly and rumors trumping facts are as timely as ever.

“It’s an American opera that needs to be seen and heard,” Gretz concludes.

Susannah runs March 13 at 7:30pm & March15 at 3pm, Maryland Hall, Annapolis, rsvp: marylandhall.org/susannah-1.

Stand Up and Be Counted Check your mail next month for the 2020 census

BY KRISTA PFUNDER

t’s that time again. Census time.

It’s your once-in-a-decade chance to help define legislative districts, school district assignment areas, the distribu-

I

tion of Congressional seats and seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.

This year brings an added modern convenience: it’s the first time the Census Bureau is asking most people to respond online.

The vast majority will receive the census via mail. Options to respond include online (including a mobilefriendly interface), by mail or by

phone. The United States Constitution mandates that a census be taken every 10 years. The first census was taken in 1790.

Completing the census is not only mandatory; it’s in your best interest to respond.

State officials redraw the boundaries of the congressional and state legislative districts in their states to account for population shifts. The results determine the distribution of more than $675 billion in federal funds, grants and support to states, counties and communities. The money is spent on schools, hospitals, roads and public works.

When filling out the census, remember: all members of your household should be counted—even newborns. If you have a child away at college, they will be counted there. You should be counted at your usual residence— which is defined as where you sleep most of the time.

Keep an eye on your mail. It should arrive March 12-20. Expect a reminder letter March 16-24. Be warned: you have until April 27 to respond until the Census Bureau starts following up in person.

Anne Arundel County joins polystyrene ban

BY KATHY KNOTTS

heck your takeout containers. Anne Arundel County’s move to go “foam-free� is now in effect. Following in the steps of the City of Annapolis, the use of expanded polystyrene, also known as Styrofoam, is prohibited at restaurants, supermarkets, grocery stores, food trucks and other food-related businesses as of Feb. 28.

Violators face a warning, followed by fines ranging from $50 to $500. Within the City of Annapolis, non-compliance comes with a $100 fine for a first violation and $200 for subsequent ones. The city ban took effect Sept. 1.

Expanded polystyrene is a petroleum-based plastic material that does not biodegrade or break apart. It is often found in waterways and can be dangerous for marine wildlife. When food is heated in a polystyrene foam container toxic chemicals can be released into the food. When exposed to sunlight it creates air pollutants.

A similar bill passed in the General Assembly of Maryland, which became the first state in the U.S. to ban the product. That prohibition takes effect July 1.

Take Us to Your (Fishing) Leader T

he month of March is underway, hopefully winter is pretty much over, and the Chesapeake’s rockfish season is fast approaching.

Because of a decline in the overall striped bass population, the start of the trophy season will be postponed two weeks this year to give more protection to spawning fish. Rockfish trophy season will not open until May 1 but it is not too soon to begin making preparations for a productive effort.

There will be a lot of competition for fewer fish so putting in your best effort is critical to success. Increase your chances by using the most effective terminal tackle—your leader.

The leader is the section of line closest to the lure or bait. It is the most critical section because it endures the most abrasion both from contact with

FISHFINDER I’ve been off fishing in Panama for the last two weeks, and while I can report that the bite there is excellent and the weather superb, I haven’t much recent firsthand experience on the Tidewater. I have been told, however, that the yellow perch run has reached its peak and is beginning to taper off while white perch are now ascending the tributaries en masse and taking over the headwaters to reproduce.

Pickerel are still hanging in with the perch and picking off an occasional meal but lately are becoming more interested in their own spawn.

Rockfish trophy season has been postponed to May 1; all catch and release action for stripers will be prohibited starting the month of April. Get ready now for the new season and remember it’s never the same as last year. Be ready for anything.

the fish’s mouth, gill covers and body scales and from the rocks, pilings and structures in the water. Because of these stressors the leader is usually of thicker diameter, stronger test weight and harder material and tends to be more visibly obvious.

Fishing lines have evolved over the years from starkly opaque materials such as braided horsehair, silk, braided nylon or dacron to an extruded, generally clear-colored nylon polymer called monofilament. By 1960, monofilament had become the standard fishing line and leader used by most of the world’s sport anglers.

In the last few years there has been another unique technological development in this arena. Fluorocarbon, used in saltwater fishing leaders, produces better catches as it is less visible in the water than any comparable material. Stripers grow reasonably fast but legal-sized 18- to 20-inchers are only three years old and aren’t as wary. Most can be caught on rudimentary setups without regard to the visual impact of lines or leaders.

Larger, older fish are another story.

A minimum-sized trophy rockfish of 35 inches is about 10 years old and a 50incher will be 20 years old with a life expectancy of over 30. Older rockfish have excellent eyesight and plenty of time to become discerning when looking over an angler’s offering, especially the leader.

Makers of fluorocarbon leaders claim they are invisible underwater. This is of course pure nonsense, pure marketing hokum. Refraction, the bending of light as it passes through a medium, is the reason that fluoro is less visible than mono.

There are many manufacturers developing all types of leader materials that compete in the angling market.

Seaguar’s is the best brand I’ve used.

During the remainder of the cold weather it might be wise to compare the specs of the newest developments in that most critical link, your leader. It could definitely pay off come May1. ‫ﵭ‬ W E D N E S D AY

CREATURE FEATURE

STORY AND PHOTOS BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

Double-crested Cormorants A common sea bird of the Chesapeake Bay is the double-crested cormorant. Cormorants look like large black ducks sitting low in the water.

Their eyes are a lovely aquamarine and they have a long bill with large tooth-like appendages at the end.

Large webbed feet and dense heavy bones make them excellent underwater swimmers. Cormorants feed on fish of all sizes from inch-long minnows to two-pound catfish. As they move from one feeding ground to another they fly in a squadron-like formation.

They are common throughout the United States with a large population from the central U.S. nesting in central Canada. The birds usually make large messy colonies. During courtship a pale crest will show over each eye.

Each pair makes a loose stick nest and

lays three to five eggs. The young hatchlings will be completely independent after ten weeks.

During the 1960s cormorants were severely affected by DDT but now their numbers are quite high. In some locations there has been a population explosion. Adult birds have few predators, while young birds are preyed on by raccoons, coyotes, alligators and snakes.

Over the last two months, new legislation has been proposed to limit their population. Large colonies are hurting fish farms and it is argued that they are hurting other native fish stock.

Their colonies exclude other birds and their nesting practices kill trees.

Breeding birds can render islands uninhabitable. Yet, there are no studies that show the cormorant’s impact on native fish.

Currently fish farms have been allowed to kill thousands of cormorants but the proposal is for a larger control throughout 48 states. In the Chesapeake Bay region, the cormorant population does not seem to be an issue. They can be found all year long, but fly to open waters during freezing temperatures.

Cormorants are followed by fishermen as useful indicators of schooling baitfish. Gulls indicate when the fish are near the surface but the versatile swimming cormorant reveal where the deeper schools are. Commercial fishermen may lose some perch and shad to the birds fishing in their pound nets but I doubt it’s enough to warrant lethal control.

Along the Susquehanna River, I enjoy watching the cormorants catch catfish and then struggle to get the fish to lower their spines so they can be swallowed. The catfish sometimes win the battle and swim away.

In the South River, they show up in the creeks chasing the spring run of shad and alewife before the osprey show up. ‫ﵭ‬

Compost: The Foundation of Healthy Soils o matter what you want to grow, building healthy soil must come first.

N

Whether you want to grow vegetables, flowers, or fruit you have to work on your soil every year. Start a good habit by composting now before the demands of the growing season start. If you get in the habit of composting your kitchen waste and reducing what goes to the landfill, it’s better for the environment and whatever you want to grow.

Composting is easy and requires a few basic principles. If the balance is good, there is no odor. You want to layer brown and green ingredients into a three-foot-high pile to start decomposition. Green materials include kitchen vegetable scraps, manure, grass clippings or any fresh plant matter.

Layer this with brown materials such as straw, wood chips, brown

leaves and even shredded newspapers or cardboard. You’ll make better compost if you run over your leaves with a lawnmower a few times. By composting, you reduce the volume of trash going to your curb and to a landfill.

Compost does decompose in the winter months, just at a slower pace. A barrel-like compost tumbler is a good tool for making compost.

The soil food web has three major activity groups that work in harmony to support each other. If one group fails, they all suffer. Bacteria and fungi feed on the exudates of plant roots, which are loaded with

moisture and minerals. In turn, nematodes and protozoa feed on the bacteria and fungi. They also excrete nutrients for the plant roots. The protozoa and nematodes are then consumed by arthropods (insects). The food web continues with birds and other animals consuming the insects.

It’s an incredibly complex system that requires organic matter to make healthy soil. You also will not need as much fertilizer to grow your plants if you use compost.

Chemical fertilizers contain salts that can hurt the organisms in your soil, so choose organic alternatives.

Add your compost to the soil every spring to nourish it. Plants will use all that rich organic matter for the photosynthetic process. There are more microorganisms in a teaspoon of healthy soil than there are people on the earth, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The earth’s ecosystem is an interwoven network that includes what happens below our feet. ‫ﵭ‬

THE MOVIEGOER

Mia Goth and Anya Taylor-Joy in Emma.

BY DIANA BEECHENER

Onward Two elf brothers are living in a suburban fantasy world that has largely forgotten magic. But there might be something to the old stories of magic. The boys find out that their dead father left them a spell—a spell that will allow them to spend one day with him.

Sadly, the spell goes wrong. Now the boys have to figure out how to correct it before the magic runs out.

As a Pixar film, Onward should be packed with plenty of feelings and some great jokes.

Prospects: Bright * PG * 114 mins.

Emma.

A sharp script and charming performances brighten up this classic mma Woodhouse (Anya Taylor-Joy: Peaky Blinders) is the queen bee of her little township in England. She’s rich, titled, and widely viewed as the most eligible bachelorette in the area.

There’s just one problem: Emma has sworn off marriage.

At the ripe old age of 21, Emma has decided to devote her life to her hypochondriac father (Bill Nighy: Hope Gap) and matchmaking. Ever since Emma made a successful match between her governess and a family friend, she’s fancied herself an expert. Too young to realize how inexperienced and silly she is, Emma begins grooming her next friend for a marriage of her design.

The only person who ever calls out Emma on her childishness is family friend Mr. Knightly (Johnny Flynn: Cordelia). He sees Emma’s potential

E

and pushes her to put aside her juvenile pursuits and embrace her intelligence.

Based on the classic Jane Austen novel, Emma., is a fresh, hilarious take on a well-known story. Director Autumn de Wilde (making her feature film debut) finds fantastic ways to pull the stuffiness out of Austen, leaving only the wit and the fun. This is very similar to the brilliant work Greta Gerwig did making Little Women seem fresh and relevant to a modern audience. This version of Austen contains nudity—and you thought Mr. Darcy jumping in a lake was scandalous—but de Wilde isn’t trying to titillate, she’s trying to show the character’s humanity.

At the center of the film is an absolutely wonderful performance by Taylor-Joy. She has the difficult task of taking a character who is essentially a spoiled brat and making her charming and likeable.

If you’re a fan of Austen, Emma. will be a thrilling romp and a fresh take on beloved material.

The Way Back

Retail magnate and billionaire Sir Richard McCreadie (Steve Coogan) is about to turn 60. To celebrate, he is going to throw a party it took over a year to plan. There’s only one catch: a recent scandal has made him persona non grata among the glitterati he so adores.

Coogan is usually a safe bet if you’re looking for a star of a satirical comedy, but this film seems listless. Jokes don’t land, the comedy is broad instead of incisive, and the performances seem a bit over the top.

Former basketball star Jack Cuningham (Ben Affleck) isn’t coping well with catastrophic loss. He spends his days buzzed on beer and his nights blackout drunk. When his former coach asks him to take over his high school basketball team, Jack sees a chance at redemption—if he can find his way back to sobriety and happiness.

A case of art imitating life, this is a movie Affleck admits hits very close to home. Though the subject matter might be personal, the writing and general filmmaking might be hackneyed.

Buying a ticket to the movie gives you a chance to see a very personal subject matter for its star. If you’re interested in Affleck’s take on suffering, this should be great; if you’re looking for a character study, this may disappoint.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZNY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Progress rarely unfolds in a glorious, ever-rising upward arc. The more usual pattern is gradual and uneven.

Each modest ascent is followed by a phase of retrenchment and integration.

In the best-case scenario, the most recent ascent reaches a higher level than the previous ascent. By my estimate, you’re in one of those periods of retrenchment and integration right now, Aries.

It’s understandable if you feel a bit unenthusiastic about it. But I’m here to tell you that it’s crucial to your next ascent.

Let it work its subtle magic.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are most likely to be in sweet alignment with cosmic rhythms if you regard the next three weeks as a time of graduation. I encourage you to take inventory of the lessons you’ve been studying since your birthday in 2019.

How have you done in your efforts to foster interesting, synergistic intimacy? Are you more passionately devoted to what you love? Have you responded brightly as life has pushed you to upgrade the vigor and rigor of your commitments?

Just for fun, give yourself a grade for those “classes,” as well as any others that have been important. Then—again, just for fun—draw up a homemade diploma for yourself to commemorate and honor your work.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Are you ready to seize a more proactive role in shaping what happens in the environments you share with cohorts?

Do you have any interest in exerting leadership to enhance the well-being of the groups that are important to you?

Now is an excellent time to take brave actions that will raise the spirits and boost the fortunes of allies whose fates are intermingled with yours. I hope you’ll be a role model for the art of pleasing oneself while being of service others.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian author Lionel Trilling (1905–1975) was an influential intellectual and literary critic. One of his heroes was another influential intellectual and literary critic, Edmund Wilson. On one occasion, Trilling was using a urinal in a men’s room at the New School for Social Research in New York.

Imagine how excited he was when Wilson, whom he had never met, arrived to use the urinal right next to his. Now imagine his further buoyancy when Wilson not only spoke to Trilling but also expressed familiarity with his work. I foresee similar luck or serendipity coming your way soon: seemingly unlikely encounters with interesting resources and happy accidents that inspire your self-confidence.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Poet Conee Berdera delivered a poignant message to her most valuable possession: the flesh and blood vehicle that serves as sanctuary for all her yearnings, powers, and actions. “My beloved body,” she writes, “I am so sorry

30 • BAY WEEKLY • March 5 - March 12, 2020

I did not love you enough.” Near the poem’s end she vows “to love and cherish” her body. I wish she would have been even more forceful, saying something like, “From now on, dear body, I promise to always know exactly what you need and give it to you with all my ingenuity and panache.” Would you consider making such a vow to your own most valuable possession, Leo? It’s a favorable time to do so.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Luckily, the turning point you have arrived at doesn’t present you with 20 different possible futures. You don’t have to choose from among a welter of paths headed in disparate directions.

There are only a few viable options to study and think about. Still, I’d like to see you further narrow down the alternatives. I hope you’ll use the process of elimination as you get even clearer about what you don’t want. Let your fine mind gather a wealth of detailed information and objective evidence, then hand over the final decision to your intuition.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Certain artists are beyond my full comprehension. Maybe I’m not smart enough to understand their creations or I’m not deep enough to fathom why their work is considered important. For example, I don’t enjoy or admire the operas of Wagner or the art of Mark Rothko. Same with the music of Drake or the novels of Raymond Carter or the art of Andy Warhol. The problem is with me, not them. I don’t try to claim they’re overrated or mediocre. Now I urge you to do what I just did, Libra, only on a broader scale. Acknowledge that some of the people and ideas and art and situations you can’t appreciate are not necessarily faulty or wrong or inadequate. Their value may simply be impossible for you to recognize. It’s a perfect time for you to undertake this humble work. I suspect it will be liberating.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio-born Ralph Bakshi has made animated films and TV shows for over 60 years. His work has been influential. “I’m the biggest ripped-off cartoonist in the history of the world,” he says. Milder versions of his experience are not uncommon for many Scorpios.

People are prone to copying you and borrowing from you and even stealing from you. They don’t always consciously know they’re doing it, and they may not offer you proper appreciation. I’m guessing that something like this phenomenon may be happening for you right now. My advice? First, be pleased about how much clout you’re wielding. Second, if anyone is borrowing from you without making the proper acknowledgment, speak up about it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Vainly I sought nourishment in shadows and errors,” wrote author Jorge Luis Borges. We have all been guilty of miscalculations like those. Each of us has sometimes put our

faith in people and ideas that weren’t worthy of us. None of us is so wise that we always choose influences that provide the healthiest fuel. That’s the bad news, Sagittarius. The good news is that you now have excellent instincts about where to find the best long-term nourishment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Poet Adrienne Rich wrote, “When a woman tells the truth she is creating the possibility for more truth around her.” I believe this same assertion is true about people of all genders. I also suspect that right now you are in a particularly pivotal position to be a candid revealer: to enhance and refine everyone’s truth-telling by being a paragon of honesty yourself. To achieve the best results, I encourage you to think creatively about what exactly it means for you to tell the deep and entire truth.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Through some odd Aquarian-like quirk, astrologers have come to harbor the apparently paradoxical view that your sign is ruled by both Saturn and Uranus. At first glance, that’s crazy! Saturn is the planet of discipline, responsibility, conservatism, diligence, and order.

Uranus is the planet of awakening, surprise, rebellion, barrier-breaking, and liberation. How can you Aquarians incorporate the energies of both? Well, that would require a lengthy explanation beyond the scope of this horoscope. But I will tell you this: During the rest of the year 2020, you will have more potential to successfully coordinate your inner Saturn and your inner Uranus than you have had in years. Homework: Meditate on how you will do just that.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In 1637, renowned English poet John Milton wrote “Lycidas,” a poetic elegy in honor of a friend. Reading it today, almost four centuries later, we are struck by how archaic and obscure the language is, with phrases like “O ye laurels” and “Ah! who hath reft my dearest pledge?” A famous 20th-century Piscean poet named Robert Lowell was well-educated enough to understand Milton’s meaning, but also decided to “translate” all of “Lycidas” into plainspoken modern English. I’d love to see you engage in comparable activities during the coming weeks, Pisces: updating the past; reshaping and reinterpreting your old stories; revising the ways you talk about and think about key memories.

The Continuing Crisis A rider on the New York City subway employed a novel way of protecting his personal space on Feb. 7, Fox News reported. The seated passenger removed a bottle of ketchup from his bag and squirted a squiggly perimeter on the floor around his seat, apparently hoping to keep fellow strap-hangers away. Twitter erupted with funny comments after one user posted a photo: “Gotta protect yourself from the mustard demons they can’t cross the barrier” and “What brand of ketchup though?” New York City Transit got a taste of the problem and promised to clean it up right away.

The Litigious Society Lacie the Norwegian Forest cat is at the center of a heated two-year dispute in Brewerton, New York, that has now gone to state Supreme Court. Original owner Carol Money accuses adoptive owner Danette Romano of refusing to let Lacie sleep in bed with her, a key provision that Money says was in the adoption agreement both parties signed in April 2018. Syracuse.com reported that according to the lawsuit, Money regularly visited Lacie in her new home after the adoption and found the cat to be skittish and fearful, and became very upset after Romano’s husband allegedly admitted, “We don’t let Lacie sleep with us.”

By Dec. 20, tensions had increased to the point that Romano complained to the Onondaga County Sheriff ’s office and had her lawyer send Money a letter ordering her to stop contacting Romano.

Money’s lawsuit accuses Romano of breach of contract and lying about her intention to let Lacie sleep in her bed, and demands the return of the cat.

Unclear on the Concept In a report published on Feb. 18, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reveals school districts struggling to comply with the state’s requirement that every school have “a good guy with a gun” are challenged to find enough qualified applicants. Among recent hiccups: Near Orlando, a safe-school officer sent her husband a nude video she recorded in a school bathroom while on her lunch break. In Hillsborough County, a school guardian thought her gun was unloaded when she shot through a mirror as she practiced in front of it for her firearms certification.

Another officer pawned his service weapon and ballistic vest; his supervisor discovered he was carrying a pellet gun in his holster. Bob Gualtieri, sheriff in Pinellas County, remarked: “The reality is there is no perfect in the world.”

rettes, some hashish and marijuana, as well as weapons, were seized.

Clever Vincent Putrino, captain of the crosscountry/track and field team at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, and his teammates, craved Chickfil-A for lunch on Feb. 22, but the only location closer than an hour and a half away was at the Albany International Airport—beyond the security checkpoint. So, reported News10, the 18 teammates pooled their money (about $5.50 each), bought a one-way ticket to Fort Lauderdale, Florida ($98, the cheapest they could find), and sent Putrino in to collect the bounty. Putrino purchased $227 worth of food, then left the airport and joined his teammates for their midday meal.

Old Story, New Twist An Oklahoma City homeowner hearing noises in his attic suspected squirrels might have gotten in, but when he went to inspect, he found instead ... a man, lying on a mattress. KOCO News reported on Feb. 28 the unnamed homeowner called 911 and reported a “stranger in my house. ... I have a gun on him right now.” Police responding to the call told reporters “there was actually somebody that appeared to have taken up residence in (the) attic,” and the home has a staircase “that goes up the side of the house with attic access.” The homeowner escorted the squatter at gunpoint to the driveway, where officers were waiting.

Oops!

The Entrepreneurial Spirit The Spanish Civil Guard raided an underground cigarette factory on Feb. 13 and 14 in the southern province of Malaga and found a facility with a complete production line capable of producing 3,500 cigarettes an hour as well as beds and living quarters for the workers, the Associated Press reported. Access to the plant, located 13 feet under a horse stable, was disguised by a cargo container.

Twenty people from the U.K., Ukraine and Lithuania, were arrested, said police, and more than 3 million ciga-

Dylan Bryant found more adventure than he expected on Feb. 23 as he explored a bayou in southwest Houston.

Bryant told KTRK his exploration took him about 100 yards down a sewer line before he became trapped. “I can’t go back because of how I had to scooch through,” Bryant said. “I’m in the middle of raw, open sewage in this little bitty box.” From under the street, Bryant yelled for help and a man heard him, then asked a passerby to call 911. Firefighters arrived and pulled Bryant out of his smelly predicament.

It’s a Mystery The Smith family of Lockport, Illinois, has a perplexing extra feature in their house that has occasionally kept the family up at night for about six years: “There are voices in the wall, and I don’t know what it is,” 9-year-old Brianna Smith told WLS. Music and talk radio emanate from the walls in Brianna’s room in the middle of the night, but the family can’t figure out why. There are no speakers in the walls, Brianna’s father Richard said, and attempts by police to uncover the source were unsuccessful. The Federal Communications Commission couldn’t help either.

Richard Smith believes something in the wall is receiving a signal from one of the six radio towers near the home, but an engineer sent to the home from one of the stations told him: “I got to be honest with you, I don’t know what is acting as a speaker.” The Smiths have been advised to hire an engineer to pinpoint the signal and block it, but in the meantime, Brianna falls asleep in her parents’ room.

Anger Management Ypsilanti, Michigan, police were called to an apartment complex on Jan. 16, where they found a 23-year-old man smoking a cigarette and pressing a bloody towel to his side, MLive reported.

The man told officers his partner, 28year-old Neil Patrick Wasinski, known as Nalla and referred to as “she” in court records, attacked him with a 21-inch samurai sword because he didn’t buy her any marijuana. The attack resulted in multiple stab wounds to the man’s arm and torso, and one of his lungs collapsed, according to police. Tracked down at her apartment, Wasinski told police to “please go away” and later claimed to have no memory of the incident. Police found a blood-stained 21-inch katana on Wasinski’s bedroom floor, according to their report, and she was charged with assault and resisting arrest. ‫ﵭ‬ Send your weird news items with subject line WEIRD NEWS to WeirdNewsTips@amuniversal.com.
