Praise for Nature’s Caretakers Thank you for a great article about the female rangers. I’m not a Ranger but very much an outdoors type person. I lived in Alaska. This is great to get folks out in ‘winter’.

I’m 66 and this is the first year I’ve never seen snow in winter. I really miss it! Didn’t the Bay used to freeze over? Idea: compare then (cold) & now (mild) climate and how it affects people who work the land & water.... farmers & watermen.

TOLL BOOTHS, PORT, CRUISE TERMINALS CLOSE

BAY BULLETIN

organization for the South, West and Rhode Rivers, is transforming its Arundel Rivers on the Half Shell fundraiser into an online auction at a later date.

“Since this was the federation’s largest fundraiser of the year, it is a tremendous loss to our organization. We ask that you still consider making a donation to the federation,” was the message from Arundel Rivers Federation Executive Director Denise Swol.

The Chesapeake Bay Foundation is cancelling all events scheduled through April 1. There were dozens planned throughout the Bay, including tree planting and oyster gardening.

The Bay Bridge Boat Show and the Annapolis Spring Sailboat show are on a temporary hold, with a final decision expected by the start of April.

And the Environmental Film Festival in Washington, D.C. cancelled its ten-day event.

As impacts pile up, Bay organizations continue to plan for better days.

n the midst of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, cash payments at the Bay Bridge, the Port of Baltimore and both Chesapeake Bay cruise terminals are now off-limits.

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan declared a state of emergency and a series of executive orders. The latest, announced Wednesday, puts into play all-electronic (cashless) tolling at the Bay Bridge and all other state tolls.

Because many people don’t have EZPass, the state will charge current cash rates for video tolling in places where cash is usually accepted. Be sure to keep moving as you pass through toll areas.

Another Bay transportation-related executive order shuts down passenger traffic at the Port of Baltimore, “prohibiting movement of persons to and from certain vessels berthing at terminals and port facilities in the ports and harbors of the state.”

The order means that no passenger or crew member will be allowed to disembark at the Port of Baltimore from a passenger vessel that has stopped at any port of call outside the U.S. since January 31, 2020 (or board a passenger vessel). According to port, the only exceptions are the Carnival Cruise Pride and the Royal Caribbean Grandeur of the Seas, which were already due to return to port. Those ships’ occupants may disembark, “provided that no person on board such vessel has a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 or is under investigation for COVID-19.”

As for cargo vessels at the Port of Baltimore who have called at ports outside the U.S., each owner of a terminal or port facility must have procedures in place to screen and control the movement of crew members who want to disembark.

In case you’re wondering what happens if someone violates the governor’s executive order, that person could face a fine of up to $5,000 and imprisonment up to one year.

In Virginia, Norfolk’s Nauticus Half Moone Cruise Terminal is closed to cruise traffic as well. The Port of Virginia is still open and operating at normal capacity, but port tours and other non-operational visits are restricted until April 1.

COVID-19 CANCELLATIONS HIT CHESAPEAKE BAY he public safety restrictions keep mounting in the Chesapeake region, as leaders try to slow down the spread of COVID-19 in our communities. The result of all the closures and cancellations is a ripple effect hitting almost every business (and their customers).

T

On the Chesapeake Bay, the events that raise money for Bay restoration efforts, education and charities will take a big hit. One of the harbingers of spring, the annual oyster roast and sock burning at the Annapolis Maritime Museum, is canceled. 15,000 oysters will not be served. It’s a bummer for those who like to celebrate, and it also comes at a cost to the museum’s programs.

“It’s a hit. And I want to preface this by saying every non-profit, every organization and pretty much every individual has been marginalized by this economic explosion,” says Alice Estrada, Executive Director of the Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park.

Governor Larry Hogan was set to attend, along with almost 1,000 people

and generous sponsors. The museum was expecting to top last year’s fundraising amount of $60,000. The loss will make for some tough decisions on campus.

“We will have to look at trimming. We don’t want to give up any of our education programs, first and foremost. We may have to defer some other programs and our capital improvements to our property.”

There are no plans to reschedule the sock burning.

Maryland Day, an annual event marking the date the first colonists arrived on St. Clements Island, is also cancelled with no rescheduling plans.

For now, the museums in St. Mary’s County remain open.

ENDANGERED MD. SALAMANDER POPULATION SURGES here’s good news for America’s largest salamander, which makes its home in the Delmarva bays of Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The tiger salamander, which is critically endangered in Maryland, has dramatically increased its reproducing population this year.

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) conducts spring surveys by counting egg mass at the amphibian’s preferred wetlands.

Eastern tiger salamanders can grow up to a foot long.

The striking animal is found only on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, according to the Maryland Biodiversity Project, breeding in wetlands that flood seasonally and dry out in late summer. Many of these wetlands have been altered by development, costing the tiger salamander

its habitat. Historically, Anne Arundel and Charles counties also had populations of these salamanders.

Maryland Department of Natural Resources Biologist Beth Schlimm holds a tiger salamander. Photo: Kevin Stohlgren DNR says biologists have been working to restore both public and private land by bringing back the water and vegetation to their natural conditions.

Next, restoration teams will focus on restoring bays that will “create ecological stepping stones connecting known tiger salamander breeding ponds.”

“It’s great to see them having such a great year,” biologist Beth Schlimm said. “They are really responding well to their restored habitat. If they keep this up, one day we hope to declare them recovered and take them off the endangered species list.”

Anne Arundel County diners showed that they can put their money where their mouths are this week. During a Support Your Local Restaurant campaign, Visit Annapolis helped sustain local eateries by asking diners to purchase gift cards, post about it on social media, and the tourism board matched those gifts cards to the tune of $5400. Diners are asked to continue to purchase gift cards from local restaurants to help pay staff salaries and keep area restaurants in business during the COVID-19 restrictions.

BOAT SHRINK WRAP RECYCLING PROGRAM EXPANDS Maryland Marinas Join the War on Plastic n early spring and a sudden need for social distancing means that many Chesapeake boaters have their eye on the water earlier than usual. Marinas are beginning to peel back the white shrink wrap that has cocooned boats all winter long.

And as they do, a recycling program launched last year to reuse all that plastic wrap will collect even more waste.

Bay Bulletin went to Hartge Yacht Har-

A

bor in Galesville to find out how they’re shedding layers.

The winter coat that boats wear through the cold months is coming off early, but instead of being thrown out, the materials are bagged and recycled.

“It’s a problem for all of these marinas. They end up with a pile of plastic and it just has to get out of here,” points out Mark Goodman, CEO of Chesapeake Materials.

Goodman’s company wanted to be part of a solution, so he teamed up with the Marine Trades Association of Maryland (MTAM) to offer marinas $15 bags in which to stash the plastic.

Why the charge? Susan Zellers, Exec-

utive Director of MTAM explains: “$15 for us is covering the cost of getting the bags out to the marinas then coming back and picking them up. You know, it’s two guys and a truck that have to come and pick that up. It’s labor-intensive coming out and loading 90 bags at this location.”

Zellers says 18 marinas participated in the pilot program last year, and that number has doubled this season. Goodman’s job is to make sure the bagged plastic actually gets recycled, unlike in the past.

“All of the effort to recycle it just sort of failed because the values of the material went down and then there’s all this

contamination in these materials. And then people just weren’t going through the effort of recycling it anymore.”

The process is modeled after a program that started in Rhode Island.

Workers at Hartge Yacht Yard showed us how they unwrap a boat, remove what can’t be recycled (the straps and zippers), roll up the plastic and bag it in about 30 minutes. The doors can’t be recycled but they are reused. At Hartge, they are sold back to the contractor that makes the shrink wrap for the boats.

“We believe we’re all in this together, so we don’t want to make a profit from it. We want to make it successful,” says Managing Owner Marytod Winchester.

Hartge has been in the family since 1865, and its owners want to see that the West River is protected for generations to come.

“We’re totally about the environment.

It’s where we want to spend time on the river and we don’t want it to be ruined by plastic,” says Elsie Whitman, Winchester’s fellow managing owner.

The shrink wrap recycling program is operating through marinas only for now—but its organizers are thinking bigger.

“The overall dream is that we can bring this to the customer and individual customers will be able to buy a bag and recycle it properly,” Zellers tells us.

Zellers and Goodman believe it’s only a matter of time until recycling boat wrap is mandatory.

BAY BULLETIN says owner Kate King. “I have to give a shout out to our SoCo community. We will be operating at a camp day schedule for families who need somewhere safe to put their kids while they work and we received calls, emails and texts from people asking to sponsor or help out with child care costs to ensure everyone who needs us could come (as long as we still have space of course). Our community is awesome and I hope we can continue to be here!”

The faith communities are uniting as well in the face of COVID-19. Many churches now offer live streaming. David Merrill with Woods Memorial Presbyterian in Severna Park reports that the worship team, pastor and music leader held Sunday services in an empty church that was live-streamed to the congregation online. Merrill says the church is “working to provide people a sense of normalcy. People are looking for that.”

In Shady Side, Centenary UMC’s parking lot became the site of “the Word, Prayer and Blessing-to-Go” for congregations from Mt. Harmony UMC, St. Matthews UMC, Franklin UMC and Mt. Zion UMC needing a more personal connection. The Rev. Faith Wilkerson tallied “22 people and a dog,” in the drive-thru service with the Rev. Marvin Wamble and minister Jackie Waymire also administering prayers and words of encouragement.

Catholics can participate in Mass online at catholictv.org/masses/catholictv-mass and the Ladies of Charity food drive and food pantry will still accept and distribute groceries at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in North Beach.

Bay Weekly will continue to take note of these acts of kindness happening daily around the Bay region, we hope you will continue to share your experiences with us, as well.

Chesapeake Compassion Neighbors become the good in their communities amid chaos

BY KATHY KNOTTS

ow that COVID-19 has arrived in our region, schools have closed, employees are working from home and our elderly endure days of loneliness. Yet people across Anne Arundel and Calvert Counties are finding ways to help one another out and turn a dour situation into opportunities for kindness.

Neighborhoods across the Chesapeake region are finding unique ways of showing compassion during this time of uncertainty. Residents quickly took to social media to offer up help delivering supplies, toiletries and groceries to neighbors who didn’t want to venture out themselves.

Ryan and Diane Mould are usually busy selling crabs and oyster this time of year. Yet the couple posted online that they were offering up free white perch to those in need. “It is times like this that we really need to stick together and South County has had a plethora of tragedies lately. We want people to know they are not alone and we all care,” said Diane. “We want to help our community.”

In Tracy’s Landing, an elementary school began asking for donations for nonperishable food items for their backpack buddy program on the same day it was announced that Maryland schools would close for two weeks.

Jennifer Weaver posted to an online Facebook group that the school received so many donations they had enough to pass along: “Our community is AMAZING. Tracey’s has more than enough donations and is now directing the rest of the donations to SCAN (South County Assistance Network) at St. James Parish—they will likely see a rise in the need for donations.”

N

The county quickly stepped in to help feed Anne Arundel’s children. All students, ages two to 18, in Anne Arundel County can now pick up breakfast, lunch and dinner at 52 locations. There are 31 public school sites that will serve from noon to 12:30pm Monday through Friday plus 21 additional sites serving mobile meals at specified times. The meals are free and available to all students. Note that adults cannot accept meals on behalf of children. See the full list of meal pickup sites and times on page 6.

Anne Arundel County Public Schools say they are prepared to serve 390,000 meals over the next ten school days.

In Calvert County, The Department of Child Nutrition’s distribution of free grab-n-go lunches is available to any children ages four to18, regardless of where they live or attend school. Those sites are: Chesapeake Ranch Estates, White Sands, and Prince Frederick.

For those who cannot make it to those locations, End Hunger In Calvert County, working through local food pantry partners, is distributing a free four-day supply of breakfasts and lunches. Kid’s Kits are available at The Chesapeake Cares Food Pantry in Huntingtown and Helping Hands Food Pantry in New Life Calvert Church. Kids Kits contain milk, cereal, fruit, ravioli, beans and franks, beef stew, beef lasagna, granola bars and goldfish crackers. Neighbors are encouraged to donate food items and also to pick up kits to distribute within their communities.

How to Survive Social Distancing

BY KATHY KNOTTS

o restaurants, no bars, no live music events, no library. What’s a Chesapeake resident to do during our self-imposed quarantine?

The good news is that Chesapeake Bay was made for outdoor adventures.

There’s little risk of picking up a virus when you are out on the water or on the trails. This is prime time to explore our state, county and local parks and waterways. Although visitor centers and other amenities may be closed, you can still enjoy nature in all her early spring beauty.

All Anne Arundel County Parks are open—with no entrance fees. Play a round of disc golf at Kinder Farm Park in Millersville. Run the trails at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis. Look for osprey along the Patuxent River at Jug Bay Wetlands Park. You can also head down to Enticement Stables in Harwood for horseback riding lessons and enjoy the fresh air and farm life.

Trails are open in Prince George’s County parks, too. Enjoy springtime at Patuxent River Park or at Watkins Regional Park.

In Calvert County, Jefferson Patterson Park and Annmarie Garden’s trails are both still open for strolling, as are most county parks with the exception of Battle Creek Cypress Swamp. Take note that water fountains will be off at Calvert parks.

And of course, the temperatures are just starting to warm up enough to hit the Bay for fishing or just lazily exploring by boat, kayak or however you enjoy the water.

Use this opportunity to bring along something to collect trash in and help keep litter out of waterways.

Weather looking iffy?

classes. You can find personal trainers from Chesapeake Health and Fitness in Deale on Facebook live, working out in their living rooms as you sweat and stretch in yours. Grow Yoga in North Beach is doing the same, taking their classes online with the Zoom app.

Maybe it’s time for some online learning. Anne Arundel schools are using a deep toolbox of e-learning resources to give students the opportunity to play educational games, read online storybooks, and catch up on assignments. Students can log on from aacps.org or watch lessons broadcast on Comcast channel 96 or Verizon channel 36 throughout the day. The school website also offers a long list of learning extension activities.

The county libraries may be closed but their online services are still open for readers and explorers. If you checked out books before the closings, you can keep them until libraries reopen as all late fees are waived since bookdrops at all locations are closed. Downloadable movies, ebooks, audiobooks, magazines and music continue to be available.

Families are swapping craft supplies, puzzles, board games, DVD players, homeschool materials and offering to read stories to each other’s children online via YouTube or Facebook. Dr. Wendy Bohon, a geologist and parent in North Beach, plans on using Facebook Live to talk to interested students about earth structure, plate tectonics and earthquakes.

Many are using this unexpected time at home to clean and purge indoors or get the garden and yard ready for spring. Consider putting aside items for consignment shops, online auction sites and charitable donations. Or post your items for free online, too.

All this social distancing is for the greater good and it may actually do you and your loved ones some good, too. ‫ﵭ‬

SPORTING LIFE

BY DENNIS DOYLE

Profiles in Tidewater Angling E

d Robinson is the kind of angler you don’t hear much about around the Bay. He doesn’t have a boat (and doesn’t want one), doesn’t take many celebratory selfies and he’s not a big fish kind of guy, he just likes to bend a rod. He does, however, fish a lot and has accumulated an incredible amount of knowledge and has caught and mostly released more than just a share of the Tidewater’s fish.

Ed recently called to invite me on a trip to the Patuxent River, one of the first tributaries to really blossom with a white perch run this time of year. Since it had been steadily raining all that day and I assumed the Pax would soon be in flood stage, I demurred.

I should have known better. It seems the days I avoid are the ones I shouldn’t.

Ed slammed them that trip with over 50 perch up to 13 inches. He also scored hickory shad, a few yellow perch and even a smallmouth bass, keeping only a tasty few of the whites for a fish fry.

And here lies the essence of the spring fishing season. It was Ed’s fifth trip this spring and he’s had little success in these outings. Most anglers would have become reluctant to venture out with that kind of return on effort. But Ed knew that a prime payoff was just getting closer.

The big spawning runs are unpredictable and if someone calls or you hear news of a hot bite, chances are it is already over. You’ve got to be there right when it happens. Chasing rumors or reports of good action are inevitably doomed to frustration. The honey runs just don’t last long.

Over the years Ed has also refined his gear and his tactics. Since he is strictly a shore angler he has acquired a useful list of productive locations, many of which are unknown to any but locals whose list of phone numbers Ed also maintains.

Ed also knows these locations are sometimes productive only at specific times of the year, at certain phases of the tide and for particular species with a specific method and bait.

Armed with two or three light spin rods, six pound test line and lots of jigs, spin baits, hi-lo rigs, hooks, sinkers and live baits, this angler maximizes every aspect of his approach and it shows in his success. Disdaining storebought live baits for those he’s harvested himself, whenever possible, Ed tries to capture his offerings as close to the target zone as possible.

One of the biggest reasons for most

S AT U R D AY

anglers’ general difficulties in finding good shoreside fishing is the amount of public access to the Chesapeake and its tributaries. The access that is available is generally limited, widely scattered across the state and not easily found.

The Department of Natural Resources maintains maps and lists of all designated public access sites on its website (it is illegal to go on state-owned lands that are not specifically designated public access). At last check there were over 400 designated areas.

It takes time and effort to weed out suitable locations so anglers should expect a little difficulty at first in finding them. It is prudent to document those locations and their specifics but that is all part of the game. The Tidewater consists of a vast cornucopia of fine angling, it’s worth any effort to ferret out the better locations—just ask Ed Robinson. ‫ﵭ‬

FISHFINDER The springtime runs are definitely on, though the yellow perch have peaked and are now tapering off, white perch have taken up the slack and are showing in impressive surges. Eastern Shore sites such as Greensboro, Red Bridges and the Tuckahoe are good bets as are the upper Magothy around Beechwood Park and the upper South River and Patuxent. Weighted bobbers set up with shad darts with grass shrimp or lip hooked minnows will get good action as will just about any type of worm. Cast around the shallows and twitched back is the traditional tactic, while during low water conditions fishing the deeper holes with hi-lo rigs with light sinkers and baited the same will also get fish. Hickory shad are due to show up soon but there are no reports of any numbers as yet and pickerel remain plentiful with some good sizes available this year.

They are made up of genetic material (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein capsule. Their only goal is to reproduce after infecting the cells that are susceptible to them. Antibiotics are generally useless against viruses. Today we still only have a handful of antiviral drugs.

The good news is that several herbs used in traditional medicines have scientifically documented antiviral effects. The following herbs can be used to relieve symptoms of viral infections like colds and flu.

Dr. James Duke, author of The Green Pharmacy, always told me that honeysuckle, forsythia and garlic were his ‘go-to’ herbs for flu. Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) has been used to treat pneumonia, bronchitis, flu and colds by Chinese herbalists.

In summer, you can boil a cup of the flowers in a cup of water, then strain the tea before drinking it. In winter, you can strip off the old, dried leaves from a vine and use them to make a tea. Even better is to make your honeysuckle tea with forsythia flowers.

Forsythia contains several potent

antiseptics and some antiviral compounds. In winter, Dr. Duke would make his tea with the bare twigs of honeysuckle and forsythia.

Echinacea is one of the most popular antiviral herbs. Root extracts have been shown to act like interferon, the body’s own antiviral compound.

Although the pathways are not that well understood, echinacea acts as an immune booster.

Other immune boosting herbs are astragalus, goldenseal, and shitake mushrooms.

Another antiviral is garlic, best eaten raw. Duke recommended eating up to a dozen cloves per day. Make sure to crush them before eating.

Juniper, thyme, lemon balm, licorice, eucalyptus, osha, ginger, and elderberry all possess antiviral activity. These herbs can be made into a tea by infusing one teaspoon of dried herb in one cup of boiled water. Tinctures, which are alcoholic extracts of herbs, can also be purchased.

CREATURE FEATURE

STORY AND PHOTO BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

Pied-billed Grebe W hile taking a hike around Centennial Lake in Howard County, I noticed a very small bird, a pied-billed grebe swimming near the shoreline. It would suddenly jump into a dive and quietly emerge several minutes later some 50 to 100 feet away. I planned to get a close photo by hurrying toward it as soon as it went under and standing still after a minute so it would not see movement when it came up.

There were trees along the edge of the water so I thought the plan was going to work. Those little birds are tricky though. After several cycles of it diving and me moving closer, it went

underwater and I moved to where I predicted it would emerge, but after five minutes it never came up.

I looked all around and found it blocks away in the opposite direction from where I started. As I stood up and considered following it again, the bird looked at me and cocked its head to the side, stared at me and flew to the opposite side of the lake.

I have been told that in clear water the little grebe walks on underwater vegetation and slowly sticks its nostril out of the water as a periscope to try to avoid being detected.

The brownish gray birds are a little

smaller than a robin and have large webbed feet. They have difficulty walking on land and therefore are rarely found out of the water.

The pied-billed grebe gets its name from its two-toned bill, striped vertically in gray and black. The bill is most noticeable during breeding season. It is thick and strong enough to crush crayfish, snails and beetles. The little birds feed on almost anything aquatic including fish, frogs and small snakes.

It lives on clear freshwater lakes or brackish areas in Maryland yearround but in spring and fall its numbers swell as the northern flocks migrate through.

Grebes prefer quiet waters without much boat traffic because of the way they build their nests: they lay their

eggs in nests built on floating vegetation easily dumped over by a passing motorboat.

In the summer, two to 10 chicks will hatch and almost immediately climb on to their parents back. Both parents take turns with the offspring as the other hunts for food. In the presence of danger the parents will disappear into deep water. The chicks mature fairly quickly, swimming on their own within a few days and chase any small thing that moves. As they become independent the adults will chase them away to have a second brood.

They are fairly common birds and do not need protection, but it’s worth thinking twice before driving a skiboat too close to a quiet cove with floating vegetation. ‫ﵭ‬

THE MOVIEGOER

BY DIANA BEECHENER

What to Stream When You’re Stuck Inside Social distancing might be a necessity, but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring reetings, moviegoers. For the next few weeks, it looks like new movies will be tough to come by. Studios are cancelling premiers and theaters are closed. It’s a safe bet that it could be weeks before we can return to the theater.

If you’re stuck at home, you can still be entertained. Universal Studios has just announced that they’re bringing all their films currently in theaters to streaming (for a hefty rental fee of $20/title). If you don’t want to pay box office prices for athome entertainment, however, there’s plenty of fantastic options for cinephiles, thanks to streaming services.

Here are suggestions for what to watch.

G

Twenty teams raced over 674 miles to deliver the lifesaving serum. One team, lead by aging sled dog Togo, had an especially long and treacherous piece of country to traverse. As Togo and his musher (Willem Dafoe) attempt to cross 260 miles of deadly ground, the people of Nome hope for a cure.

Part thrilling adventure, part heartwarming comedy, Togo is the perfect family film for older kids who love dogs.

Watching the bond between Togo and his master grow as they deal with a perilous journey is utterly charming. The effects, and the fact that the film used real dogs instead of CGI, give this movie a sense of realism that will keep everyone on the edge of their seats. Togo is a gem of a film, and one that will give you hope in the midst of an outbreak.

Great Family Adventure * PG * 113 mins.

foot, the adventurer is surprised to discover that Link is the Bigfoot. An avid fan of Frost’s exploits, Link asks Frost to help him find his long lost cousins—the yetis in the Himalayan Mountains. Frost makes a deal: If Link agrees to give him proof of his existence to take back to the explorer society, then Frost will take Link to the yetis.

But when the road ahead gets complicated, Frost may have to choose between his word and his reputation.

One of last year’s best animated movies, and also one of the most under-seen, Missing Link is a charming family film with an excellent message. Laika Studio has managed in its short run to fuse Pixar’s storytelling abilities with Aardman Studios’ impeccable stop motion animation.

This film is an excellent example of both, offering up a brilliant story about the meaning of respect and friendship, and gorgeous character design. If you need a break from watching Frozen 2 on repeat, give this movie a try. Your kids and your sanity will thank you for it.

M

PRIME

The streaming service so ubiquitous in our culture, it’s viewed as the default, Netflix has a wealth of fascinating films for every mood.

In 1930s Germany, a serial killer preys on children and terrifies the nation. The police seem unable to catch him, and the public is demanding justice. When legal actions bear no results, the public begins to support a criminal syndicate who promise to catch the killer by any means necessary. The people of Germany may find their killer, but at what cost?

A metaphor for what happened when the Nazi Party offered to solve all the problems of the German people, this classic Fritz Lang film is an excellent lesson in what happens when people allow panic to rule.

Beautifully shot and featuring an iconic performance from Peter Lorre, M is one of the greatest German films ever made.

Lang’s tracking shots and use of shadow influenced American filmmakers for decades; you’ll see the debt Silence of the Lambs and Se7en owes to Lang. If you feel the need to sell off hand sanitizer or hoard toilet paper, this is the movie to watch.

Instead of ordering things you don’t need from Amazon (trust me, that bulk package of Bazooka Joe gum doesn’t need to be to your house in two days), consider using your Prime membership to stream some fantastic movies.

When an unknown pathogen ravages the world, chaos reigns supreme.

One family has found a way to keep themselves from harm by living in the middle of the woods and abiding by strict sanitation and safety protocols.

The patriarch of the group (Joel Edgerton) is serious about preventing infection—he kills the family’s grandfather at the first sign of disease.

But when a seemingly healthy family shows up, begging for help, what will it do to the safe little bubble they’ve built?

A film about the dangers of paranoia and panic in the face of crisis, It Comes at Night is a tense, fascinating drama. With excellent performances and a script that digs at the very human tendency to close ranks and hoard resources, this flick may seem pretty timely. This is an excellent example of moody, atmospheric cinematography at its best. Director Trey Edward Shults shows off his use of shadows and long takes to create suspense. As we consider stricter quarantines and possible extensions to these precautions, It Comes at Night is a reminder not to lose your humanity while you’re social distancing.

Good Drama * R * 91 mins.

DISNEY+ Disney+ is the one-stop-shop for family entertainment. If you need to keep the kids quiet and content for an afternoon, this is the ideal streaming service.

Togo When an outbreak of diphtheria threatened the whole territory of Alaska in 1925, there were legitimate concerns the disease would kill the entire young population.

But in the midst of an Alaskan winter, planes and boats were unable to reach the epicenter of the outbreak in Nome.

This left only one option: dog sled teams.

The Birdcage Armand Goldman (Robin Williams) is owner of the popular drag club The Birdcage in Miami. His partner Albert (Nathan Lane) is the high-strung star of the show. Armand spends most of his days talking Albert out of fits and trying to keep the club running.

But when Armand’s son Val comes home from college and announces he’s getting married, things really get chaotic. It seems Val’s in-laws-to-be are a famous conservative senator and his wife. Now it’s up to Armand and Albert to play it straight long enough to ensure Val gets married.

Can the two men play it straight?

With all the gloom in the world right now, sometimes you just need to laugh.

One of the funniest modern comedies, The Birdcage is a hilarious sendup of politics, relationships and the horrors of parenting.

Both Williams and Lane offer amazing performances, backed up by Gene Hackman as a hilariously hypocritical conservative senator. If you’re looking for a movie that will make you forget about the state of current affairs, this is a sure bet.

W

As you’ve probably guessed, all of us are being invited to re-evaluate everything we think we know about what it means to be human. I refer to this unprecedented juncture as The Tumultuous Upgrade or The Disruptive Cure. It’s a phase fraught with danger and potential opportunities; crisis and possible breakthroughs.

And while the coronavirus is the primary driving force, it won’t be the only factor.

We must be ready for more Rough, Tough Healings disguised as Bumpy Challenges in the coming months.

Here’s the astrological lowdown: Throughout 2020, there is a rare confluence of three planets in Capricorn: Pluto, Saturn, and Jupiter. They are synergizing and compounding each other’s impacts—interweaving in ways that confound us and rattle us. In the bestcase scenario, they will also energize us to initiate brave transformations in our own personal lives as well as in our communities and nations.

Below is a profile of each planet’s meaning.

When we are in intense and intimate relationship with Pluto—as we are now— we’re invited to dive down deeper: to see life from the soul’s perspective rather than from the ego’s; to seek wealth and meaning not as they’re defined by the material world but as they’re understood by the part of us that’s eternal. Descending into the mysterious Plutonian depths can be disruptive to our conscious beliefs and intentions, but may ultimately be profoundly regenerative.

When we are in intense and intimate relationship with Saturn, we’re invited to get more serious and focused; to register the fact that we don’t have unlimited time and energy, but must firmly decide what’s important and what’s not. We’re asked to be ruthlessly honest about the roles that are most likely to bring out the best in us.

When we are in intense and intimate relationship with Jupiter, we’re invited to risk growth and expansion; to take proactive responsibility for seeking the rich experiences that our souls long for; to aggressively enhance our lust for life.

I wish I had sufficient room to address how you might take advantage of The Tumultuous Upgrade to transform your philosophy of life and your relationship to humanity’s greater good. But I must confine myself to suggesting more personal shifts in response to this once-in-a-lifetime blend of planetary energies.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Possible crises in the coming months: 1. Your power spot may be challenged or compromised. 2. Your master plan might unravel. 3. There could be disruptions in your ability to wield your influence. Potential opportunities: 1.

You’ll be motivated to find an even more suitable power spot. 2. A revised master plan will coalesce. 3. You’ll be resourceful as you discover novel ways to wield your influence.

Italy, where she came in contact with some Chinese people. The husband called a doctor, who suggested she isolate herself; she contacted police because her husband wouldn’t let her out. It’s unclear how long she was locked in the bathroom, but Delfi.lt reported that she was tested for the virus and did not have it.

• The U.S. State Department has advised people, particularly older adults, to avoid cruise ships and air travel during the coronavirus onslaught. But some travelers just can’t be dissuaded. Take, for example, Ben Stults, a sophomore at Florida State University, who will head out on a cruise to Mexico this week for spring break. He’s hoping to “hit the sweet spot”—get there and get home before the virus takes hold in Mexico. To be safe, however, he’s bringing along a respirator face mask and a deck of cards in case, you know, quarantine. The Daily Beast asked Stults if he thought his plan was a sound one, to which he replied, “Honestly, no.”

Animal Antics Firefighters were called to a farm near Bramham, Leeds, in England on March 7 to put out a fire in a large pigpen. At this particular farm, the pigs wear pedometers to prove that they’re freerange, Fox News reported, but one of those gadgets was the probable cause of the blaze, firefighters said. They theorize that one of the pigs ate one of the pedometers, then passed it in its excrement, sparking a fire in the pen’s hay.

The culprit was the copper in the battery reacting with the pig poo. No pigs were hurt in the fire; let’s hope they’re getting all their steps in as usual.

The Continuing Crisis A Polish tattooist known only as Piotr A. has pleaded not guilty to causing blindness in model Aleksandra Sadowska, 25, from Wroclaw, Poland. Sadowska engaged the artist to dye her eyeballs black in 2016. Following the procedure, she had pain in her eyes, which the tattooist said could be treated with painkillers. But she lost sight first in her right eye, and doctors told her there was nothing they could do to prevent the same fate for her left eye. “There is clear evidence that the tattoo artist did not

know how to perform such a delicate procedure,” Sadowska’s lawyers said, according to the Daily Mail. “And yet he decided to perform it, which led to this tragedy.” As he awaits his trial, the tattooist continues to run his salon in Warsaw, where he mainly pierces ears.

• Limestone County Sheriff Mike Blakely is on trial in Athens, Alabama, facing 11 counts of theft and ethics charges related to his job. On March 6, Blakely went to the hospital, where his lawyers told the court he was being tested for COVID-19, the disease associated with coronavirus. But in a special hearing on March 7, Dr. Maria Onoya told Judge Pride Tompkins that while Blakely was indeed admitted to the hospital, and received multiple tests, none of them was for COVID19. In fact, she said there was no evidence to suggest he should be tested for it, The News Courier reported. Judge Tompkins ended the hearing with harsh words for Blakely’s defense team: “I don’t know what your tactic is, but it’s condemned by the court,” he said. He went on to note that he was “very disturbed” by the defense’s mention of COVID-19 in the motion to continue, calling it irresponsible, reckless and unfair to the community.

• Meanwhile, in Queensland, Australia, people are panicking about running out of toilet paper during the coronavirus pandemic. Which makes Haidee Janetzki of Toowoomba extra popular, after she made an error in her regular online TP order with Who Gives a Crap.

“When it asked for quantity, I put 48,” she told 7News, “thinking that would be a box of 48 (rolls). Turned out it was 48 boxes.” At first she thought it was the online retailer’s fault—until she checked her credit card, which showed an expense of $3,260 plus almost $400 shipping. Janetzki is selling the hot commodity to friends at a slight markup, hoping to raise money to send her kids on a school trip to Canberra. She’s now known Down Under as the Queen of the Toilet Paper.

• Two state attorneys general and the Food and Drug Administration are cracking down on disgraced televangelist Jim Bakker, who is now the host of “The Jim Bakker Show” on cable TV. The New York attorney general’s office on March 3 sent a cease-and-desist order to Bakker, and on March 10, the Missouri attorney general filed suit against him.

At issue is Bakker’s hawking of “Silver Solution,” a “medication” made from silver that supposedly cures all sorts of ailments, for use in treating COVID-19. On Feb. 12, The Washington Post reported, Bakker asked a guest on his show whether the gel could cure the coronavirus. “It hasn’t been tested on this strain of the coronavirus, but it’s been tested on other strains of the coronavirus, and has been able to eliminate it within 12 hours,” said “naturopathic doctor” Sherrill Sellman. In the letter, the “extremely concerned” Lisa Landau, chief of the attorney general’s health care bureau, called the segment false advertising and said it violates New York law. She gave Bakker 10 days to comply.

Crime Report On Feb. 28, fourth-grade teacher Nancy Sweeney, 45, was arrested in Niles, Illinois, for assaulting a neighbor and calling her “a (expletive) Nazi.”

According to the Chicago Tribune, Sweeney attacked the 87-year-old woman, who is of German descent, in the parking garage of their condominium building, where the woman was exercising. The victim was struck in the face with a purse and fell, suffering cuts and bruises. The Cook County state’s attorney’s office approved not only an aggravated battery charge, but also a hate crime charge, based on the Nazi reference. The Park Ridge-Niles school district placed Sweeney on paid leave on March 4 upon learning of the charges, district spokesman Peter Gill said.

Resourceful Professor Peter Davies, 70, is an expert in tuberculosis at the Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital in England — and a lay leader of the Church of England. He admittedly also has a porn addiction, which caught up with him in late 2018, when it was discovered that Davies had been engaging in “inappropriate browsing activity” on his work computer— including viewing someone having sex with a horse and a dog. According to Metro News, Davies told the Medical Practitioners’ Tribunal Service: “In 2010 I made a confession to my wife. ... She put a filter on all my computers ... I had some counseling and I stopped for a period of two years. ... But when I came back to it, I realized that I was in really deep trouble.” Davies was scheduled to go before the General Medical Council on March 11, which conceded that Davies had “shown insight and took some steps to remedy his conduct.” ‫ﵭ‬ Send your weird news items with subject line WEIRD NEWS to WeirdNewsTips@amuniversal.com.
