Finish Line Unknown Run the mile you’re in.
A
s someone who picked up running at age 14 on the Severna Park High School track and hasn’t stopped since, I can find a running analogy for just about any life situation. In the case of the COVID-19 pandemic, the comparison is obvious. We’re in a marathon—not a sprint—but we don’t know where the finish line will be. All we know is that there is one, and that the miles will get more painful before they get easier. The marathon is a mental game. You train, you prepare, but miles 20 through 26.2 will hurt. Early in the race, anxiety can creep in and take hold. You can’t help but think of the later miles looming. The fear of what’s to come can be crippling. For a lot of people facing the drastic changes of social distancing and fearing the virus itself, the pandemic is crippling. I have found that, as in a marathon, my anxiety is fueled by the future unknowns. How bad will it get? What if someone in my family is infected? How long will we have to keep paying tuition at a daycare and school that our kids can’t attend? When will we have gath-

erings to look forward to again? Every week, I (and plenty of other Marylanders) have waited with dread for Governor Larry Hogan to address the public, knowing that each speech would bring more dire medical predictions and more drastic social limitations. The changes to everyday life have come so rapidly that there aren’t too many social interactions left to limit. Most of us are hunkered down at home, feeling like we’re in a state of limbo. This is where my marathon mantra comes in: Run the mile you’re in. When you take off from the starting line, you cannot be consumed by the fear of how mile 22 is going to feel. You must focus on running mile one, which will bring you to mile two. Stay fixed on mile two, which allows you to reach mile three, and so on. Run the mile you’re in means keeping your head in the mile you’re running right now, the only thing you can control. With our typical lives on hold, now is the time to run the mile you’re in. Instead of lamenting all the calendar events you’ll miss this spring, throw yourself into this stay-at-home moment. Maybe you noticed a beautiful flower because
you took the dog for an extralong Saturday walk. If not for social distancing, you might have had a busy Saturday of commitments, cut the dog’s walk short and missed that beautiful flower altogether. My four and two-year-old sons do an excellent job of staying in the right now. They’ve never complained about losing their schooldays, playground access, or birthday parties. They simply enjoy having both Mommy and Daddy home all day—a rare circumstance with two parents in journalism. At Bay Weekly, we’re working hard to keep your paper coming. We’re filling it with things you can do right now (Get fresh, local farm produce delivered! Fish for your dinner! Get married!) instead of what you cannot. None of us know when we’ll reach the finish line of the COVID-19 marathon, but we’ll help you get through this mile. p — MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM NEWS DIRECTOR
Your Say The Zü We Knew There’s more to life than a great cup of coffee, but not much. Zü Brew was the proof. I suppose we must credit the relentless Starbucks pandemic for heightening our awareness of what coffee could be. Once the “charbucks” ritual was unleashed, it became imperative to some of us to take the pursuit of the ultimate cup as far as it would go. And where I went, after exploring all options, was this discreet, one-location roaster conveniently housed in a former drive-thru bank next to a liquor store, a pet shop, and the Giant Food spread in Eastport on my way to and from everywhere. The essential difference was that Zü was proudly local with beans roasted onsite, pastries and treats from local bakers, Bay Weekly on the rack, and handmade-in-Annapolis greeting cards to buy at the register, just in time. My car seemed to know the way to Zü, and the steering wheel would pull slightly to the right or left depending on whether I was going out or back. There I could count on the hearty aroma of the daily roast, perky smiles from the loveable Zü team, perfect

MD. ROCKFISH PROPOSAL INCLUDES MID-AUGUST SEASON CLOSURE ne 19-inch fish per day and no fishing for two weeks in August: these are the key takeaways from Maryland’s proposed striped bass recreational fishing season.
O
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) released its proposal for striped bass limits in response to the Atlantic fishery managers’ coastwide directive to impose conservation measures. In 2018, an Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) assessment determined that the striped bass population was overfished and that mortality due to fishing was too high, and ASMFC ordered the states to put new limits in place. Striped bass is Maryland’s state fish, the most popular for anglers in the state to pursue, so it’s not surprising that fishing reductions on the species locally known as rockfish are proving contentious. It’s up to the states to determine which specific conservation measures it will use to meet ASMFC’s requirements, and Maryland has been weighing three options for the start of the 2020 Chesapeake Bay striped bass season. After a public comment period, DNR has targeted “Option 2,” a proposal the agency details this way: “The proposal calls for the 2020 summer-fall season in the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal tributaries to be open May 16 through Aug. 15, and Sept. 1 through Dec. 10. Anglers would be able to keep one striped bass per person, per day, with a minimum size of 19 inches. The season would be closed on all other dates. During the closure period from Aug. 16 through Aug. 31, anglers will be prohibited from targeting striped bass, which includes catch-and-release, charter boats and commercial hookand-line fishing. During a chartered fishing trip, the captain or mate would
not be permitted to land or possess striped bass for personal consumption.” Last year, anglers could take two stripers per day at a minimum of 19 inches each. Some recreational anglers criticize the plan, saying it favors charter captains over individuals who like to fish. A coalition of recreational fishing interests like BoatUS, American Sportfishing Association, and Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) Maryland sent a letter to DNR just before the public comment period closed, pushing for “Option 1,” which would allow recreational anglers one fish per day at an 18-inch minimum,

t happens every April and early May across the Chesapeake Bay region. Warm, sunny weather beckons to thousands of stir-crazy people who don shorts and T-shirts and drag their canoes and kayaks to the water. The desire to get outdoors is even more pronounced now with home isolation from the coronavirus keeping people cooped up. Canoeing and kayaking are currently permitted in all the Bay drainage states even as some forms of recreational boating are not. Because of that, officials and paddling groups are warning the public about being lulled by warming weather into a false sense of security as they take to the Bay, favorite streams and lakes—where the water remains cool and dangerous. The sobering fact is that, too often, paddlers go unprepared and overturn. April is the second-deadliest month for paddling accidents, and kayakers and canoeists made up 20% of all recreational boating accidents in the United States in 2018, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. In Maryland from 2009–19, there were 40 kayaking accidents, 24 canoe mishaps, 17 rowboat accidents and 9 inflatable kayak accidents, according to Maryland Natural Resources Police. “I hear it time after time. There’s a lot of people who believe they will never fall out of their kayaks. And that’s just unrealistic,” said Devin Winand, a kayak instructor and guide for Shank’s Mare Outfitters along the Susquehanna River in in York County, PA. “You need to assume you’re going to end up in the water. You dress for water temperature, not air temperature.” Paddling doesn’t have to be cumbersome to be safe, stressed Ralph Heimlich, a leader of the Chesapeake Paddlers Association who has canoed and kayaked for 68 years. “I don’t want to discourage people from paddling. Pay attention to water temperatures and

wouldn’t allow charter boats any extra fish, and wouldn’t include a two-week closure in August. CCA Executive Director David Sikorski expressed his disappointment with a plan he believes favors the charter business, saying DNR has divided the recreational fishery, picking “winners and losers.” Sikorski says CCA’s priority (after ensuring the measures meet the necessary conservation goals), is “finding as much parity as possible in how folks access their fish,” so that there’s no preferential treatment for anglers who fish from a charter boat rather than a pier or their own boat. Pending a fiscal and legal review, the proposed regulations will be opened up to another public comment period from May 8 to June 8, 2020. A public information webinar to discuss the changes will be held May 11. ﵭ —MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

have the right safety equipment and they’ll be fine,” he said. “The biggest single thing is to wear your PFD [personal flotation device]— don’t just have it,” Heimlich said. “Wearing a life jacket is the best way to ensure your trip doesn’t end in tragedy,” echoed Stacey Brown of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Debilitating cold water reactions are the biggest killers of paddlers. Water as warm as 60 degrees can cause a common phenomenon known as cold water shock, causing the overturned paddler to make involuntarily gasps for air. Often that happens when the paddler is at least partially under water, and gulping water puts him or her on the path to drowning, the leading cause of paddling deaths, noted Julie Brown, boating education coordinator for the Maryland Natural Resources Police. Even water in the 70–77 degree range can impede survival. As of April 8, the water in the Bay was still a chilly 55 degrees. Without a drysuit, or at least a wetsuit, a spill in those conditions would immediately set off cold water shock, Brown noted. If a paddler survived that, he or she would experience a quick increase in blood pressure and heart rate, which could lead to disorientation and even a heart attack. “Without proper equipment and
Photo: Dave Harp apparel, the body can become incapacitated in just a few minutes, and without a life jacket this can be a very dangerous and often fatal combination.” Even if a paddler is wearing a life jacket—and not just storing it onboard as some states require—a dunk in the drink is still dangerous territory. The cold quickly drains feeling in the hands and prevents the paddler from being able to swim far. As the core body temperature drops and hypothermia sets in, the paddler loses the strength to right the capsized canoe or kayak and climb back on board. In water of 50–60 degrees, a
paddler hanging onto the craft may only survive six hours or less. Paddlers should also be wary of wind, which can get even experienced paddlers in trouble, especially on open water and during gusts on the Bay, according to Heimlich. “If you’re not familiar with it, wind can be an overwhelming force, and you have to compensate for that. People get in that chop and are not used to it and flip over.” Look for routes protected from strong winds, such as narrow creeks and marsh guts, where the shoreline is reasonably close and the water is shallower. If you venture out in your canoe or
kayak, especially with current colder water temperatures, follow these safety rules. For more information, visit the National Center for Cold Water Safety website. • Wear a life jacket. Don’t just have it on board. • Paddle with a buddy or group. During the coronavirus crisis, be sure to practice social distancing when in a group. • Leave a float plan with family or friends. Explain your route and your expected return time. Remember to call them as soon as possible to confirm your safe return. • Carry a whistle to alert others in case of danger. • Take a paddling safety course. For an online course, visit https://www.boaterexam.com/paddling/. The Chesapeake Paddlers Association offers paddling instruction, although spring classes have been postponed because of the coronavirus. For information, visit the association web page here. • Dress for the water temperature, not the air temperature. When the water temperature is 60 degrees or below, a wetsuit is a must and a drysuit is recommended. • Field test your gear, and test it each time before you go out. • Learn how to self-rescue if your canoe or kayak overturns. ﵭ —AD CRABLE, BAY JOURNAL NEWS SERVICE

SMITH ISLAND HOLDS “BOAT-IN” EASTER SERVICE n Easter Sunday, six boats from the three Smith Island, Maryland communities gathered around Pastor Everett Landon aboard the Miss Maxine, his father’s wooden workboat, in the sheltered waters off Easter Point. Pastor Landon addressed the floating congregation over channel 78 on VHF marine radio as the sun came up over Tangier Sound. Families who were not able to attend the ‘boat-in’ service tuned in through their at-home VHF radios. Pastor Landon has been leading services over the radio for the island’s three Methodist congregations from Tylerton, Ewell and Rhodes Point for the last month, since state religious organizations were ordered to suspend normal operations to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Church members have tuned in to the services from their in-home VHF radios (cell service is inconsistent on Smith Island). Since the state now permits drive-in religious services, the congregations were able to meet in person through a ‘boat-in’ service for Easter Sunday. The service came after a scary weekend on the island, when a brush fire spread rapidly in heavy winds, burning down a vacant house and threatening homes nearby. Volunteer firefighters from the island and nearby Crisfield, Maryland worked through the night on Friday in Ewell to suppress what could have been a devastating fire. The Easter service put islanders’ devout faith and adaptability to change on full display. ﵭ

CORONAVIRUS DOESN’T STOP COUPLE’S WEDDING DREAM hen one Prince Frederick couple got engaged a year ago, they might have worried about rain on their wedding day. But they couldn’t have imagined having to cancel their rustic farm wedding because of a global pandemic. Jason and Jenna Townsend began dating on April 4, 2016. They were engaged on April 4, 2019. So their planned wedding date, April 4, 2020, held special meaning. “When I first asked her to date me, it was on 4/4/16. The significance of that was 4x4=16. It was easy for her to remember,” Jason explains. “I’m bad at math and I’m a blonde,” Jenna jokes. We asked the bride what she was originally envisioning for the day. “We were going to do the ceremony outside, big farm, big field so it was really pretty out there. And then we were going to do the rest inside a big barn with lights draped across the ceiling.” When COVID-19 restrictions on crowd size and essential businesses canceled the party set for 4/4/20, the couple got married anyway—minus about 200 guests. Instead, longtime friend and local real estate agent Ashley Scaggs officiated the wedding at Jenna’s dad’s house. “I am very shy and quiet and I don’t like people

staring at me. I don’t like the attention on me,” Jenna says. “So I liked that it was small and intimate and I could just focus on [Jason]. I didn’t have to worry about hundreds of people staring at me.” Jenna’s mom was her maid of honor, Jason’s dad the best man. Daughters Jalyn and Jordan served as flower girls and brother Luke was ring bearer. Jenna and Jason are officially married, but a formal wedding and reception at Bowles Farms in Clements, Maryland were moved to April 2021. Jason sees the unexpected change as the best of both worlds. “It’s good because she got her intimate (wedding) and next year I go out and get my party.” Neighbors made them t-shirts to remember how a virus infected their plans but didn’t kill what really matters. The bride and groom are living happily ever after—wearing masks in their wedding photos. “I’m with him for the rest of my life,” Jenna says with a laugh. They may not be on their honeymoon in Puerto Rico as planned, but Mr. and Mrs. Townsend still got to keep April 4 as their special day. ﵭ —CHERYL COSTELLO

We’re in it Together: Coping with a Crisis BY KRISTA PFUNDER
e are living in stressful times. And although everyone reacts differently to stressful situations, there are common reactions that we all may be experiencing. Feelings of fear about your health and the health of your loved ones is a top worry. Changes in sleep or eating patterns are common. An inability to concentrate is likely, as is worsening of chronic health problems and increased use of alcohol, tobacco or other drugs. “When you ask adults what reaction they’re having to the coronavirus, you hear one of two things: disorientation or fear,” says Barbara Ripani, a licensed clinical social worker in Owensville. “We are very disoriented. We feel strange; watch old movies; stay up all hours; have nightmares and cook big meals.” Wondering what will happen next is stressful. But don’t worry; your brain is already hard at work trying to help you. “There’s an essential survivor in all of us,” Ripani says. “Mostly, you don’t have to think it out. There’s a hidden part of
W
you that’s already coping and is extremely courageous. You’ve seen this part of yourself before.” Ripani likens that side of you to the CEO of a large corporation. “Part of you is working throughout all of this,” Ripani says. “It might seem overwhelming, but you will see that you have all the skills you need to get through it. That part of you is already busy, doing its job.” To combat feelings of fear, anxiety and uncertainty—and to help the part of you already quietly working through this stress—you need to be proactive about your mental health. “Use the things in your emotional ar-
senal,” Ripani says. Courage, coping mechanisms and resilience will help you weather this storm. When it comes to children, they react, in part, to what they see from the adults around them. The Centers for Disease Control encourages parents and caregivers to deal with the situation calmly and confidently. For many, that means coming up with new routines of normalcy during extraordinary times. “We’re usually running around to all of the many places that Calvert County has to offer like the library, aquatic center, marine museum, parks and animal shelters,” says Sherri Verdon of Hunting-

To combat feelings of fear, anxiety and uncertainty—and to help the part of you already quietly working through this stress—you need to be proactive about your mental health.
SELF-CARE DURING A CRISIS Avoid excessive exposure to media coverage of COVID-19: Take breaks from watching, reading, or listening to news stories. It can be upsetting to hear about the crisis and see images repeatedly. Try to do some other activities you enjoy to return to your normal life. When you do read news, avoid media outlets that build hype or dwell on things that can’t be controlled. Instead, turn to reliable sources that provide information about how to protect yourself, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Take care of your body: Take deep breaths, stretch or meditate Try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals Exercise regularly Get plenty of sleep Avoid alcohol and drugs Make time to unwind and remind yourself that strong feelings will fade Share your concerns and feelings with a friend or family member Maintain a sense of hope and positive thinking Maintain proper infection control techniques such as hand-washing and social distancing Check how realistically you are viewing the situation. The CDC has continually pointed out that the vast majority of individuals, even if they do get sick, will not become terribly ill Stick to credible sources of information. Social media is not that source. Stay connected. Maintain healthy relationships. Talk to your friends on the phone or virtually. Staying at home and distancing from others should not mean you are completely isolated. Reaching out to people you trust is one of the best ways to reduce anxiety, depression, loneliness, and boredom during social distancing, quarantine, and isolation.

town, mom to 5-year-old Tori and 3-year-old Shane. Social distancing orders and a stay-athome order have forced Verdon to adapt. “We are now limited to the four walls of our home, but have found a lot of ways to keep Tori and Shane busy, engaged, learning and happy,” Verdon says. Verdon has come up with so many engaging activities that she started a Facebook page to share ideas with other families. SOMD Safe at Home—Ideas and Activities for Kids and Families— includes science experiments such as making elephant toothpaste and lava lamps and family games like flashlight tag and blindfold taste tests. The family also builds forts and pillow mountains and explores sensory activities such as filling a sandbox with deer corn. “Deer corn is easy to clean up and less expensive than sand,” Verdon explains. Verdon isn’t the only one engaging others with creative ideas. Kate Harrison of Huntingtown has enlisted neighbors in keeping her kids entertained. “The favorite activity of our quarantine has been painting rocks and hiding them throughout the community,” Harrison says. “It was such a hit that our neighbors joined in the fun and hid new rocks for everyone to find.” “My kids have been enjoying their time outside,” says Harrison, mom to 9-yearold Jack and 3-year-old Reid. “They’ve painted pictures with painter’s tape; gone on many hikes; ridden bikes and tractors; baked and decorated tons of cookies and FaceTimed with all of the relatives and friends.” ﵭ

FARMING Amidst a Health Crisis Reimagined Farmers Markets Offer Fresh, Local Foods BY KATHY KNOTTS hat first weekend after schools were closed because of the pandemic, at that Sunday farmers market, you could see the panic in customers’ eyes,” says Dr. Stacy Eckels. “They didn’t know where or if they were going to find their groceries.” Eckels, who runs Windermere Farms in West River with her hus-

band Andy, is also an agricultural sciences teacher at Southern High School, the school’s Future Farmers of America sponsor, and sits on the board of Maryland Farm Bureau. She has witnessed firsthand the struggles some are having with trying to procure food safely during the coronavirus outbreak. Luckily, like many farmers, Eckels did not panic. She knew the farming community would help. They just needed to try something new. That approach is paying off for small growers and producers around the Chesapeake Bay. In Calvert County, the farmers market association just held its first virtual market with results far surpassing all expectations. “My farm sales skyrocketed as soon as I started offering delivery, serendipitously right before the pandemic craziness,” says Amanda Hand of MKONO Farm in Huntingtown, who raises heritage pigs with her husband Jason. “I follow a lot of farmers and see what they are doing. Some friends of mine in New York live close to a meat locker; during the pandemic, this locker started offering free aggregating of local meat and produce for farmers that wanted to offer a pickup service.” Hand took this idea and created an online market with Amanda Bowen of Prosperity Acres in Sunderland, president of the Calvert County Farmers Market. “My first thought when I saw what was happening at grocery stores, just this buy, buy, buy—until there was nothing, bothered me. What happens to people like me who can’t afford to buy groceries for three weeks at a time or can’t get to the store?” says Bowen. “So, we considered things like pop-up markets before the stay-at-home order took effect.” Hand and Bowen contacted vendors to see what they could sell immediately, put together a list, using a Google document, posted it on Facebook, “And our sales went through the roof,” says Bowen. “We kind of just slapped the first one

together,” she says. “But within 36 hours, we had 200 orders. 80 percent of that was for home delivery and the other 20 was for time-specific pickup at Cardinal Creek Plant Farm.” The Calvert farmers delivered over 100 orders to residents as far away as St. Mary’s and Hughesville. In Anne Arundel County, the in-person Riva market is still going strong on Saturdays and Sundays—but with some changes. Adam Cottrell, a market board member, runs Floating Lotus Farmstead with his wife Jocelyne. He says the pandemic is keeping him flexible and farsighted. “To open up space at the market for our essential vendors, we had to keep our other vendors out of the market. We have to mitigate our long lines, so we’ve marked spots on the pavement to encourage social distancing. Vendors are also prepackaging their foods—something we used to discourage. But that’s part of the reality now.” Cottrell says farmers are more important than ever now. “People come to organic farms or sustainably operated farms with that notion that food is medicine. In some cases, highrisk people are looking to us specifically to make them feel healthy. It’s my duty to stay safe and we now have an extra responsibility to be physically safe.” None of the farmers Bay Weekly spoke to believe the demand for their harvest is going to decline. They each encouraged residents to reach out to farms, join a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and buy your food from a market. “As a farmer, seeing the community response to the crisis, I can see that there is a huge surge in the appreciation of the local farm, the farmer, and his/her products,” says Hand. “It has been a long time since America has had to really think about the importance of being able to self-sustain food production for the population. The local farmer is the closest, quickest and most reliable source (during) a state of emergency.” ﵭ

STORY AND PHOTOS BY WAYNE BIERBAUM
The Green Frog W alking in a natural area is pleasant and calming. Over the past four weeks, I have tried to visit all the hiking spots near Annapolis and I like walking the trails that include ponds or creeks. The AllTrails app can help you find local public trails. When I walk near a freshwater pond, I slow down and scan the water’s edge for frogs. I like to photograph them on land but, invariably I don’t find them there. But as I approach, I hear a highpitched “errrp” and then the “kerplunk” of a frog hitting the water. The most common pond frog is the green frog. They come in various shades of green, from dark greenbrown to bright clover. Green frogs grow to be about four inches (eight with the legs extended). They are sometimes mistaken for bullfrogs but the green frog has an obvious ridge of skin on both sides of their bodies that extends from just above the eye to the base of their hind legs. Frogs have very sensitive skin and should not be handled much and if you have insect repellent on, you need to avoid touching them. Although they can live several years, they have a rough life. It seems that
everybody wants to eat them. They are a favorite target of heron, egrets and birds of prey like barred owls. Turtles, snakes and alligators eat them. Bass, catfish and pickerel eat them. Raccoons, foxes, minks, and otters all eat them. The species survives through the numbers. In the spring, the females produce up to 7,000 eggs. The males fertilize the eggs as they are laid in water. The tadpoles that hatch have to avoid carnivorous insects like dragonfly nymphs and eventually grow legs and become full grown frogs. Very few of the original 7,000 eggs make it to maturity. They are insectivores but unfortunately are not too good at eating mosquitoes. I have encountered these frogs from Florida to Maine but they are not found in the western U.S. They like ponds with vegetation along the edge. Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens has lots of these frogs. They see a lot of human visitors and seem less afraid of being approached. Unfortunately, the garden is currently closed due to the pandemic. Create a small fish pond in your yard and know that out of nowhere a green frog will show up. ﵭ

A citation bluegill caught by Dennis on the Eastern Shore on a Gaines bumble bee popper.
BY DENNIS DOYLE
Maryland’s Best Sweetwater Fish I t’s light tackle dream time for sweet water anglers. The middle of April is the opening of the ideal chronological window to pursue the perfect topwater light tackle adversary, the bluegill. The hardest-fighting, most aggressive rascal that swims our freshwater lakes and ponds, tangling with the bluegill (also known as sunfish) is the most fun than you can have without a guilty conscience. Area waters had been too chill but with a few 70-degree days behind us the shallows are warm enough (60+ degrees) to prompt these ultra-frisky, saucer-shaped fish to start carving out their aquatic, marital beds throughout Maryland’s sweeter waters. There is no minimum size and always a generous possession limit for these eager pugilists. Maryland has no natural lakes because when the glaciers stopped their geographic descent just to our north, they never gouged out the necessary basins to fill with their thawing contents. All of the state’s lakes and larger ponds are manmade and we are the better for it. Maryland has over 300 such impoundments and headwaters and they are all public. Mid-April is the confluence of two critical elements, water temperature
and a lack of seasonal contamination that flows into the water from excess agricultural fertilizers. These chemicals quickly accelerate the growth of algae, foul the shallower waters and make angling an increasingly frustrating messy, clumsy and often impossible affair. But for now, the waters remain clear and eminently fishable. This time of year, male bluegills are easily identifiable by their round saucer shape, small mouth, and bright orange breast. They have a dark olive back, intense blue gill tabs and bright iridescent cheek colors. They excavate a three- to four-foot circular spawning bed around the shorelines in waters up to four feet deep. The fish are not large; an 11-incher earns a citation as well as an angling trophy. The excavated spawning sites will immediately entice a mature female, in muted shades of olive to yellowgreen, to deposit her eggs. There, both parents will guard the eggs and keep them free of silt and debris until they hatch, chasing and fighting away any critters that threaten the roe or resultant offspring. This often includes any bug, fly or lure that lands close enough to be instantly attacked. The spawning sites are often obvious enough for some relaxing and productive angling, especially with the fly

rod. A six weight or lighter rod in lengths of six and seven feet or so are ideal instruments to use with floating lines and dry flies or floating bugs and poppers to size eight or smaller. Casting to the edges of the circular beds will result in quick attention.

used with the fly rod. Casting to the edge of the spawning sites should result in the same intense light tackle battle. Using its substantially flat sides angled against the pull of the angler’s rod the bluegill will engage in a turning, running battle that does not at all have a foregone conclusion; they often win. If you land one, they are a delicious meal when breaded and fried, or broiled with a light coating of mayonnaise. ﵭ
FISHFINDER: It is official now, fishing in Maryland is an essential activity—as long as you’re seeking sustenance. And it’s just in time, the white perch run is at its peak, there are still some yellow perch in the headwaters and rockfish trophy season is due to open in just two weeks. For the perch the best baits are grass shrimp, small minnows and worms on shad darts under a small casting bobber. The big rockfish (minimum size 35 inches), legal only in the Bay’s mainstem, will take fresh menhaden, big blood worms, crab or a large bucktail tipped with a soft plastic Sassy Shad in white, yellow or chartreuse. Possession limit on the trophies is one.

Violets: A Source of Spring Beauty, Health and Sweetness S pringtime has surely arrived when you see violets blooming everywhere. We have many native violet species. Purple, yellow, and white violets can be found growing wild and can be foraged for both the edible flowers and leaves. Viola odorata, admired for over 2,000 years, is the best-known violet. The ancient Athenians held the plant in high regard for its power both to moderate anger and to cure insomnia. In 16th century England, the flowers were used to make a syrup for a mild laxative used in children. The flowers and leaves have often been used as an infusion or syrup for treating coughs, chest colds, and congestion. Sweet violets have also been used as coloring agents and its deli-
cate fragrance in perfumes. Violets prefer moist soil and dappled light. Many species of common wild purple violets have edible flowers but are not fragrant. There is a native sweet white violet, Viola blanda, that looks like it belongs in a fairy garden. It has a similar sweet scent to Viola odorata and grows in moist, rich woods. Various violet species contain generous amounts of a compound called rutin which helps maintain the strength and integrity of capillary walls. Some medical texts say that taking 20 to 100 mg of rutin daily can significantly strengthen the capillaries. The ethnobotanist Dr. James Duke estimated a few tablespoons of violet flowers would contain about 100 mg of rutin.

Discover Documentaries Films so good, you won’t believe they’re true N E T F L I X : Crip Camp In the 1970s, if you weren’t classified as “able-bodied”, your choices in life were limited. Many with physical or mental limitations were institutionalized, kept from school, or treated as unwanted parts of society. Heavily marginalized and often smothered by families who wished to protect them, there was no place where a differently-abled person could feel free. Enter Camp Jened, a hippie-run “camp for the handicapped” in the Catskills. There, for the first time, people with physical and mental delays got a taste of what it was like to be “normal”. Sometimes, this wasn’t a great thing— teenagers left unsupervised and just discovering sex and love lead to a pubic lice (aka crabs) outbreak at the camp. But sometimes, this was a truly great thing. The bonds formed at Camp Jened lead to a disability revolution that changed America as we know it. A funny, touching look at how a dilapidated hippie-camp changed the world, Crip Camp is one of the best new documentaries of 2020. Filled with stories that will break your heart or make you guffaw, this is a film that celebrates diversity of body and mind and the brave men and women that worked to ensure those who came after them wouldn’t be forced from society. Great Documentary * R * 106 mins.
H U L U : Free Solo For Alex Honnold, mountain climbing just wasn’t exciting enough. He chooses to free solo, or scale the highest peaks in the world without ropes or safety gear. The only thing keeping Alex on the side of the mountain is the grip of his fingers and toes.
It’s a harrowing way to climb—most people who free solo fall to their deaths— but for Alex, it’s a way of life. His current goal is to scale the face of California’s El Capitan, a cliff face so sheer, it’s challenging even using ropes and harnesses. A breathtaking documentary that will have you on the edge of your seat, Free Solo will likely leave you dizzy. Directors Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi employ drones and creative shooting techniques to capture every tense inch of Alex’s climb. The directors also include their own internal debate about filming Alex in a way that could distract him and cause him to fall to his death. The entire movie is an exercise in tension. Don’t be surprised if you’re breathless as Alex begins his climb. Great Documentary * PG-13 * 100 mins.
P R I M E : Grizzly Man Self-proclaimed grizzly bear activist Timothy Treadwell spent 13 summers camping deep in bear territory in Alaska’s Katmai National Park and Preserve. He filmed himself giving expert advice on how to live with and respect grizzly bears, as well as why he felt they should be protected. He would pet the bears, perform bizarre rituals to show that he was accepted by the bears, and rant about how people doubted his prowess as an expert naturalist because he was self-taught. During his 13th year in the preserve, Treadwell and his girlfriend were killed and eaten by bears. All that remains are his travelogues. Director Werner Herzog pieces together Treadwell’s footage with interviews of those who knew him best, trying to understand what drove Treadwell to live with the bears, and what happened the night he died. If you loved the weird and wacky Tiger King, Grizzly Man is the perfect follow up movie. Herzog is in top form, uncover-

Purple violet blossoms are beautiful when added to a spring spinach salad and they also provide a good source of vitamin C. They also can be crystalized or candied. To do this at home, beat an egg white until frothy. Dip the flowers in and then sprinkle sugar over the entire flower. Let them dry overnight on waxed paper, and use them to decorate cakes or other desserts. You can recognize violets by their heartshaped leaves which grow in a rosette pattern and emerge from the ground at a central point. Their roots are knobby, branching horizontal rhizomes. After spring blooming and later in the summer, the plants produce self-pollinating petalless flowers that eventually become capsules to eject seeds. ﵭ
ing how a well-meaning layman let ego and mania drive him to take huge risks with his safety. Treadwell’s own footage is fascinating—knowing the end of his story makes every odd interaction with massive grizzly bears both sad and nerve-wracking. Treadwell has the unearned confidence of a Joe Exotic, but with very different results. Great Documentary * R * 103 mins.
K A N O P Y: Life Itself For many, Roger Ebert was the face of film criticism. Along with partner Gene Siskel, the duo became famous worldwide for their “thumbs up/thumbs down” ratings. But Ebert was more than just a thumb. A Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic with a deep love of movies and art, Ebert’s meteoric rise sometimes eclipsed the work he did to earn his notoriety. Life Itself examines Ebert’s career, his personal battles, and how he helped shape pop culture. The film also captures his final years, as he fought cancer and disabilities to continue to watch and review movies. This moving look at the last years of his life brings forward the reasons Ebert and his adoration for the silver screen were so important to shaping how scholars look at films today. Two Thumbs Up * R * 121 mins.
D I S N E Y + : Elephant Elephant Shani and her baby Jomo must join their herd as they journey across the Kalahari Desert. The trip is long and perilous, filled with challenges that the herd must face together. Though technically nature documentaries, the films are given a simple, upbeat narrative with children in mind. The G-rating means you’re getting a very sanitized view of nature. Still, films like Elephant are a great way to get kids interested in nature. If you’re tired of watching Frozen 2 and Onward on a loop, consider putting this on and getting a brief reprieve from cartoon singing. Good Documentary * G * 86 mins.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries artist Vincent van Gogh got started on his life’s work relatively late. At ages 25 and 26 he made failed attempts to train as a pastor and serve as a missionary. He didn’t launch his art career in earnest until he was 27. During the next ten years, he created 860 paintings—an average of 1.7 every week—as well as over 1,200 additional works of art. For comparison, the prolific painter Salvador Dali made 1,500 paintings in 61 years. During the coming twelve months, Aries, you could achieve a van Gogh-like level of productiveness in your own chosen field—especially if you lay the foundations now, during our stayat-home phase.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Most authors do their writing while sitting on chairs in front of desks. But long before there were standing desks, poet Rainer Maria Rilke and children’s author Lewis Carroll wrote their books while standing up. Novelist Henry James had eight desks, but typically paced between them as he dictated his thoughts to a secretary. And then there have been weirdoes like poet Robert Lowell and novelist Truman Capote. They attended to their craft as they lay in their bed. I suggest you draw inspiration from those two in the coming weeks. It’ll be a favorable time to accomplish masterpieces of work and play while in the prone position.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): While sleeping, most of us have over a thousand dreams every year. Many are hard to remember and not worth remembering. But a beloved few can be lifechangers. They have the potential to trigger epiphanies that transform our destinies for the better. In my astrological opinion, you are now in a phase when such dreams are more likely than usual. That’s why I invite you to keep a pen and notebook by your bed so as to capture them. For inspiration, read this testimony from Jasper Johns, whom some call America’s “foremost living artist”: “One night I dreamed that I painted a large American flag, and the next morning I got up and I went out and bought the materials to begin it.” (Painting flags ultimately became one of Johns’ specialties.)
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Ford Madox Ford (1873–1939) was a renowned author who wrote The Good Soldier, a novel that has been called “one of the 100 greatest novels of all time.” Yet another very famous author, Henry James (1843–1916), was so eager to escape hanging out with Ford that he once concealed himself behind a tree so as to not be seen. You have astrological permission to engage in comparable strategies during the coming weeks. It won’t be a time when you should force yourself to endure boring, meaningless, and unproductive tasks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I hope that during the coronavirus crisis you have been entertaining wild truths and pondering the liberations you will initiate when the emergency has passed. I trust you have been pushing your imagination beyond its borders and wandering into the nooks and crannies of your psyche that you were previously hesitant to explore. Am I correct in my assumptions, Leo? Have you been wandering outside your comfort zone and discovering clues about how, when things return to normal, you can add spice and flair to your rhythm?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I like this quote by the author Jake Remington: “Fate whispers to the warrior, ‘You cannot withstand the storm.’ The warrior whispers back, ‘I am the storm.’” Although this passage is more melodramatic than necessary for your needs in the coming weeks, I think it might be good medicine that will help you prevail over the turbulence of the coronavirus crisis. Getting yourself into a storm-like mood could provide you with the personal power necessary to be unflappable and authoritative. You should also remember that a storm is not inherently bad. It may be akin to a catharsis or orgasm that relieves the tension and clears the air.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran rapper and activist Talib Kweli says, “You have to know when to be arrogant. You have to know when to be humble. You have to know when to be hard and you have to know when to be soft.” You Librans tend to be skilled in this artful approach to life: activating and applying the appropriate attitude as is necessary for each new situation. And I’m happy to report that your capacity for having just the right touch at the right time will be a crucial asset in the coming weeks. Trust your intuition to guide you through every subtle shift of emphasis.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio artist Marie Laurencin (1883– 1956) enjoyed a colorful fate. One of the few female Cubist painters, she was a prominent figure in the Parisian avantgarde. She was also the muse and romantic partner of renowned poet Guillaume Apollinaire. But there came a turning point when she abandoned her relationship with Apollinaire. “I was twenty-five and he was sleeping with all the women,” she said, “and at twenty-five you don’t stand for that, even from a poet.” Is there a comparable situation in your life, Scorpio? A role you relish but that also takes a toll? Now is a favorable time to re-evaluate it. I’m not telling you what you should decide, only that you should think hard about it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian sculptor and architect Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1596–1680) was a
prodigious, inventive creator. One scholar wrote, “What Shakespeare is to drama, Bernini may be to sculpture.” He designed and built public squares, fountains, and buildings, many in Rome, which embodied his great skills as both sculptor and architect. Unlike many brilliant artists alive today, Bernini was deeply religious. Every night for 40 years, he walked from his home to pay a devotional visit to the Church of the Gesù. According to my reading of the astrological factors, now would be an excellent time for you to engage in reverential rituals like those—but without leaving your home, of course. Use this social-distancing time to draw reinvigoration from holy places within you or in your memory.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): As I understand the current chapter of your life story, you have been doing the unspectacular but yeoman work of recharging your spiritual batteries. Although you may have outwardly appeared to be quiet and still, you have in fact been generating and storing up concentrated reserves of inner power. Because of the coronavirus crisis, it’s not yet time to tap into those impressive reserves and start channeling them into a series of dynamic practical actions. But it is time to formulate the practical actions you will take when the emergency has passed.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian poet Jacques Prévert offered a variation on the famous Christian supplication known as the Lord’s Prayer. The original version begins, “Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.” But Prévert’s variation says, “Our father who art in heaven: Stay there.” Being an atheist, he had no need for the help and support of a paternal deity. I understand his feeling. I tend to favor the Goddess myself. But for you Aquarians right now, even if you’re allergic to talk of a divine presence, I’ll recommend that you seek out generous and inspiring masculine influences. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will benefit from influences that resemble good fathering.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): How skillful are you in expressing what you want? Wait. Let me back up and reformulate that. How skillful are you in knowing what you want and expressing the truth about what you want to the people who might ultimately be able to give it to you or help you get it? This is the most important question for you to meditate on in the coming weeks. If you find that you’re fuzzy about what you want or hazy about asking for what you want, correct the problems. Homework: For three days, uphold your highest ideal in every little way you can imagine. Report results at FreeWillAstrology.com.
NEWS OF THE WEIRD
COMPILED BY ANDREWS McMEEL SYNDICATION Life Imitates Netflix Authorities executed a search warrant relating to a narcotics investigation in the South Texas town of Mercedes on March 25, but what they seized wasn’t drugs. Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Sammy Parks told the Associated Press that officers had been warned there were exotic animals on the 5-acre property, and game wardens who joined the search found a white Bengal tiger, bobcat, kinkajou, porcupines, llamas, emus and deer. While no arrests were made, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department had to euthanize three of the animals; the remainder were removed to the Austin Zoo for examination and rehabilitation.
How the World Has Changed • Amy Simonson and Dan Stuglik proceeded with their planned wedding on April 4 in Pokagon, Michigan, but the coronavirus pandemic forced them to get creative. While the original guest list of 150 people had to be pared down repeatedly as restrictions were placed on public gatherings, Stuglik was determined that his bride not walk down the aisle between empty pews in the Old Rugged Cross Church. He hit upon the idea of filling the church with cardboard cutouts of family and friends and stopped by Menasha Packaging Co. to ask for help. Employees Ted Harris and Luke Arendash jumped at the chance. “(Stuglik) was just looking for a general person shape, but I was able to make it a little bit more realistic audience for them,” Harris told The Herald Palladium. The company supplied more than 100 cutouts of varying sizes, shapes and hairstyles. The newlyweds moved their reception to October and canceled their honeymoon in Newport, Rhode Island, but Stuglik said they “both have peace now, because it’s stripped down to what it should be, which is us and God, getting married.” • Our four-legged friends are taking advantage of the COVID-19 lockdown in multiple cities, United Press International reported: On March 31, 122 Kashmiri goats took over the Welsh town of Llandudno, eating gardens and sleeping in the yards; on April 6, residents of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, reported a large herd of deer casually wandering through neighborhoods; in Gir, Gujarat, India, citizens were warned on April 5 to stay inside not only because of the pandemic but because a large lion was nosing around the city; at a Fast Stop store in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, a bear took the low-traffic opportunity to dumpster dive on April 3; and in the Central Region of Singapore, witnesses captured video of a horse galloping through the empty streets of Bukit Timah on April 6. She
had escaped from the Paisano Polo Academy, where the owner said she’d only been loose for about 20 minutes. • Recent sunny weather in the Czech spa town of Lazne Bohdanec, where sunbathing naked is allowed, brought out more than a hundred eager sunbathers—nude and not—but police were soon on hand to warn they still needed to wear face masks, as ordered by the Czech government, reported the Daily Mail. “Citizens can be without clothes in places designated for this purpose, but they must have their mouths covered and must observe the numbers in which they can go out into nature,” police spokeswoman Marketa Janovska told local media. “We understand that many people do not have a garden and want to ventilate in the countryside,” she added. About half of the 150 people were not wearing masks, but no fines were issued.
Coronavirus Cosplay Police on horseback and motorcycles in Hyderabad, India, are reminding civilians about the dangers of COVID-19 by wearing large red masks and headdresses in the shape of the virus as they patrol. Police Commissioner Anjani Kumar said the masked officers would be stationed at various city junctions, Fox News reported. Ironically, the city organized a rally on April 7 to kick off the awareness campaign, displaying signs reading “Please Avoid Gathering” and “Social Distancing Is Social Responsibility.”
Crowd Control • According to his attorney, Rumson, New Jersey, resident John Maldjian, 54, intended for his “Stay at Home” Pink Floyd cover concert to be viewed only on Facebook Live by his friends on April 4. However, at the last minute, Maldjian decided to play his guitar on his front porch, which drew a crowd. What started with a few neighbors eventually grew to about 30 people in his front yard when police showed up to enforce social distancing orders, NJ Online reported. One of the “partiers” allegedly became abusive, according to police, but attorney Mitchell J. Ansell said his client had “absolutely no malicious intentions ... and never wanted this to escalate.” Maldjian was charged for violating emergency orders. • A 21-year-old woman and her 61year-old father, of Key West, Florida, told Monroe County Sheriff ’s officers they were on a boat off Wisteria Island April 4 where they spotted a group of about 20 college-aged people drinking on the beach, the New York Daily News reported. The woman said they approached the group and asked them to obey social distancing orders and keep the noise down, but the people became
SEVERNA PARK’S ART GALLERY violent and struck both victims in the head with a baseball bat. Authorities said both sustained head injuries in the attack; the attackers jumped into three boats docked nearby and took off, and no one has been arrested.

Using the Weapons at Hand • Michigan State Police responding to a call in Gibson Township, Michigan, on April 6 seized a muzzleloader pistol from a man involved in a dispute over a camping trailer, authorities said. Trooper David Kaiser said officers discovered a 58-yearold man and a female relative had arrived at the property to pick up the trailer, but the 55-year-old man who lived there questioned its ownership. The resident fired the muzzleloader, hitting no one, said Kaiser, then allegedly used the gun to strike the older man, which prompted the woman to grab a shovel and hit the resident on the head. MLive reported police arrested the resident for felonious assault; further charges are pending. • Shadae Miranda, 30, was charged with felony domestic battery in Fort Pierce, Florida, on April 4, after allegedly attacking a man with a “15.6-ounce metal can of Spaghettio’s ... in a plastic bag,” according to an arrest affidavit. The Smoking Gun reported the victim told police he and Miranda were sharing a room at the Travel Inn motel where, after he arrived “home from the hospital,” the two began to argue. The victim told police he stepped outside to let things cool down, but Miranda followed him, wielding the Spaghettio’s. She was arrested, but it was unclear whether the Spaghettio’s were booked into evidence.

People Are Good Royal Mail postman Jon Matson still has to make his rounds in the English village of Boldon during the coronavirus lockdown, and he’s doing what he can to “lift the spirits” of the residents he sees along the way. Matson, 39, has been sporting different costumes, including a Greek soldier, a cheerleader and Little Bo Peep—all with the Royal Mail’s blessing, as long as he wears his uniform shoes. “Everyone is uncertain at the moment, and you are the only person outside of the family that they see, so why not give them something to smile about,” Matson told the Sunderland Echo on March 28. He’s coy, though, about what sorts of costumes are on tap in the days to come. Zoe Grant, who lives on Matson’s route, gushed: “I’m proud that Jon is my postman, and I can’t wait to see his next costume.” ﵭ

How many two or more letter words can you make in 2 minutes from the letters in: Vegetable (40 words) No matter what we think of when we hear the word used as a disparagement, Vegetable actually means ‘be active’ from the Latin vegetus meaning ‘enliven’ or ‘animate,’ because of the way plants thrive during growth. A potato is a root vegetable and comes from the Spanish patata. Tomato is now officially, in the U.S., a vegetable, but comes from South America where it was called tamate. Potato-patata, tomato-tamate…let’s call the whole thing off! Scoring: 31 - 40 = Aloft; 26 - 30 = Ahead; 21 - 25 = Aweigh; 16 - 20 = Amidships; 11 - 15 = Aboard; 05 - 10 = Adrift; 01 - 05 = Aground
