Happy 27th Birthday, Bay Weekly!

A

nyone who has celebrated a birthday in the COVID-19 era probably won’t forget this year’s “big day.” We can’t gather with friends, so birthday boys and girls are blowing out the candles at home. Some parents have come up with creative ways to give their kids a special memory, organizing a drive-by birthday “parade” of the child’s friends waving from their cars, or asking neighbors to leave sidewalk-chalk messages on the driveway.

(One local company will even deliver party activities to your virtual guests and then lead the festivities by Zoom chat—see our video story on the Bay Weekly Newspaper Facebook page.)

As for the adults, some create a fancy birthday dinner at home, dining on carryout from a nice restaurant while sipping wine and wearing dress-up clothes. Other folks won’t settle for an at-home substitute, opting instead to delay their celebration: When this is all over, we’re gonna have a helluva party!

At Bay Weekly, we know how you feel. It’s our 27th birthday this week. At minimum, we thought we’d be enjoying a potluck office party or happy hour in Eastport. Instead, we’re only seeing each other from the tiny boxes of a vid-

eoconference call.

Birthdays have always been a big deal at Bay Weekly. The paper launched in 1993, then called New Bay Times, with a goal to explore life along the Chesapeake Bay. The staff began—and remains— small and close-knit. Just how close-knit?

Everyday at lunchtime, the Bay Weekly team spreads a tablecloth on the conference room table. The whole group leaves its computers to assemble for a family lunch. They chat about regular things, not just business. They relate as friends, not just coworkers.

The tradition goes back to the paper’s first office, which was “approximately the size of a shoebox,” our production manager, Betsy Kehne, tells me. Bay Weekly’s longest-running employee fondly remembers “five or six people stuffed in around a lunch table that was really only meant for four. As BW grew, more people fit around that table, contorting into terribly awkward sitting positions for Bay Weekly lunches that were fun and full of good conversation.”

When CBM acquired Bay Weekly last winter, we implored the staff to make the transition with us. They agreed, and their biggest collective

I never leave home without my “virtual restaurant.”

My cell phone’s photo gallery contains dozens of fine meals my wife and I had before the doors closed. While we all wait for them to reopen, we can console ourselves with carryout and curbside service. My wife and I also have our pictures.

Last year we photographed our stunning entrees and appetizers that deserved to be retained for later admiration. From pizzas to fried pickles, tuna to tater tots, we documented their presence for posterity.

In quarantine, our meal images have become culinary keepsakes; reminders of good times well-spent away from our own kitchen. Our pictures today give us hope for a better and fattening tomorrow. They remind us of how life once was and will be again before social isolation and restaurant deprivation. To us, our food photos have been elevated to the status of still life Renaissance

request was to have a space for the tablecloth at lunchtime.

One of Bay Weekly’s founders, Alex Knoll, tells us the paper has never missed an issue in all those weeks over 27 years. We’re proud to say that’s still true, several weeks into a pandemic that has shut down almost everything else.

As Betsy points out, “There’s something nice about picking up a newspaper and paging through to see what’s going on in our communities with people you can see and interact with every day.”

Since interacting in the community is pretty limited these days, you can find Bay Weekly on the racks of essential businesses or receive a digital copy at www.bayweekly.com. New this week, you can even access video stories right from the digital paper.

This year, we’ve spent our birthday creating new ways to reach our readers. And when this is all over, rest assured we’re gonna have a helluva birthday party. p — MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM NEWS DIRECTOR

oil paintings with an aesthetic value that rivals masterpieces by da Vinci and Michelangelo. Yes, I see fine art in an order of mozzarella sticks.

We scroll through our gallery of food photos as if turning pages of a cherished family album. But instead of “look at Uncle Fred back in 1980” it’s “look at that spinach pizza from last September.”

In years past we felt compelled to take food pictures as if guided by an invisible hand. On more than one occasion nearby diners watched and wondered what we were up to. Now we understand our prophetic acts of photographic diligence would serve the later purpose of providing perseverance and patience today.

I reason that if we shoot photos of other things we like—flowers, pets, sunsets, wildlife, wild family—why not add food to this list? Here’s to the day when we can all gather again at a local eatery.

In the meantime, blue crabs are in season: time to enjoy an at-home feast in the kitchen or on the porch.

Just remember to remove your face mask before taking that first bite.

MD. STUDY: BAY CROSSING FERRY WOULDN’T HELP BRIDGE BACKUPS BY ITSELF new state-sponsored study argues that a car-carrying ferry service would not by itself alleviate traffic on Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay Bridge. It would also cost billions of dollars to build and operate.

A

The 43-page report by the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) and state Department of Transportation concludes that a ferry service wouldn’t resolve traffic woes “as a standalone option.” At least one conservation group is skeptical of the state’s findings, saying it’s too early in the process to discount a ferry or any other option.

For their part, state transportation officials say that they’ll keep the idea simmering, though on the back burner. Ferries could be considered “in

NWS PROPOSES RENAMING “SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY” he National Weather Service (NWS) is considering a big change to the way it warns us about unsafe marine conditions, and they want to hear your opinion about it.

NWS proposes changing a Small Craft Advisory to a Small Craft Warning. Criteria would remain the same; On the Chesapeake they are prompted by “sustained winds or frequent gusts…between 20-25 knots and 33 knots and/or seas or waves 5 to 7 feet and greater, area dependent.”

It’s simply a name change, NWS explains, and they’re opening it for public comment from now through May 24.

The change is part of NWS’s plan to revamp the Watch, Warning and Advisory system.

Currently, a watch means that conditions are favorable for hazardous weather soon. An advisory means that

combination with other alternatives” if the process to construct a third span across the Bay moves forward, the agencies said in the report.

Gov. Larry Hogan announced in 2016 that the state would conduct a $5 million National Environmental Policy Act study to decide where a new Bay Bridge should be built. Backers say a new bridge is needed to ease gridlock during weekday rush hours and summer weekends. The backups are expected to worsen as the region’s

population grows.

The Bay Bridge is part of U.S. Routes 50/301. It is the only Bay vehicular crossing in Maryland.

Last August, MDTA, which owns and operates the Bay Bridge, proposed three possible routes for a new crossing as well as a “no-build” option. The agency plans to release a draft of the study and recommend a single preferred alternative by the end of this year.

The ferry study was quietly released in January in response to a Maryland General Assembly order. The state House and Senate budget committees jointly asked the administration last year to study the possibility of launching a ferry service.

The legislative committees acknowledged in their written instructions to the administration that several previous studies cast doubt on its feasibili-

hazardous conditions will cause an inconvenience and could threaten safety without careful actions and planning. A warning is issued when dangerous weather conditions are imminent or occurring, and urgent action is needed to protect life and property.

In the new system, NWS would remove the terms “Advisory,” “Special Weather Statement” and “NOWcast” and streamline all of the information into a “single, plain language statement”—a single statement except, that is, for Small Craft Advisories. NWS says because of their critical nature, conditions associated with a Small Craft Advisory requires vessels of a certain size to take protective action. So they would be singled out as a “Warning.”

ty. But those reports, they added, didn’t consider new technological developments, noting that all-electric ferries “have become more realistic alternatives.” By substituting electricity for diesel fuel, such operations are greener and can sidestep seesawing fuel prices, advocates say.

The state staff who authored the new report sought to find out whether adding a ferry service could be the sole solution for maintaining the Bay Bridge’s current level of service despite heavier travel between the shores. Looking forward to the year 2040, that translates into removing nearly 900 vehicles from the span when traffic is expected to be at its worst, the agencies wrote.

The only way a ferry system could come within striking distance of that figure would be to have it run near the existing bridge, according to the report. To operate efficiently, the system would require three large vessels as well as a fourth for backup.

Each would have to be roomy enough to carry 400 vehicles. No electric ferries of that size exist. A hybrid ferry operating in Scandinavia, though, currently carries up to 460 vehicles.

Depending on the type of battery selected, it would take at least 10 minutes to charge the ferry either once every trip or every round trip. That could be done while vehicles are rolling on and off. Overall, including sailing time and boarding, the 4-mile trip is estimated to take 50 minutes.

The fare amount would depend on the service’s popularity. If it runs at full capacity, travelers could expect to pay $37; if it runs at 25% capacity, the price tag soars to $150.

The service also would require more infrastructure on both sides of the shore, including new approach roads, docking facilities, fare collection stations and administration buildings.

The channel would likely need to be dredged to accommodate the ferries.

And there probably would be service disruptions because Port of Baltimore See FERRY on next page

vessels would be given priority over passage, the report states.

When considering all the costs, ranging from the $780 million for the ferries to compensation for the 45-person crew, the endeavor would cost about $3.4 billion over 40 years. In contrast, earlier reports have pegged the cost of a new Bay Bridge at up to $10 billion.

The transportation agencies ultimately rebuffed the ferry proposal, writing: “A MDTA-operated ferry serv-

ice utilizing all-electric ferries is not a feasible alternative to a third crossing of the Chesapeake Bay. …. There are currently no existing all-electric vessels in operation that would provide the capacity needs identified above and the service would be cost prohibitive from the user and operator standpoints.”

Jim Campbell, vice president of the Queen Anne’s Conservation Association, said he hopes the state keeps a ferry service on the table as part of an array of possible strategies to combat bridge traffic. His group worries that

the construction of a third Bay Bridge will lead to more urban development on the Eastern Shore.

“That’s just one arrow in the quiver at most,” Campbell said of the ferry.

The group has hired its own consulting firm to analyze the traffic problem, and it plans to publicly release the report later this year, he added.

PRIDE II SAILS THE BAY ON VIRTUAL VOYAGE he Pride of Baltimore II, the tall ship that serves as a floating ambassador for Maryland history, is stuck at the dock along with all the other recreational vessels in our state. You see, as an “at will passenger vessel,” Pride is considered nonessential under Governor Hogan’s executive order.

So Pride of Baltimore, Inc. and the ship’s senior captain, Jan Miles, set sail for a Chesapeake Bay voyage in simulated fashion. On the Pride of Baltimore II Facebook page, fans can follow the “Captain’s Log” on a Virtual Cruise of Chesapeake Bay. It’s about as close as you can get to the real thing: Each day, Captain Miles details the virtual ship crew’s actions based

Help Preserve Pandemic History as it’s Made Md. Historical Society Collects Quarantine Stories

BY KATHY KNOTTS

ow will the coronavirus pandemic look to future generations, say 100 years from now? That’s one of the questions prompting the Maryland Historical Society to put out the call for letters and photos now to document this historic period.

“The idea came from two places.

When the 2015 uprising in Baltimore took place, we put out a call for images,” says Allison Tolman, Vice President of Collections. “It was really useful to look at civil rights and activism at the time. When the pandemic hit, we began looking at our collections in order to put things in perspective.”

Turning an eye to history, the MdHS looked to their collection of family letters written during the 1918 Spanish influenza outbreak. “We lost more lives to that pandemic than World War I. It was a huge thing and not many people know about it,” says Tolman.

In 2020, handwritten letters are a thing of the past. Today’s journals are digital and instantaneous. We use digital platforms and social media to connect, share and report on what’s happening around us.

In hopes of capturing some of that history in action, the MHS is crowdsourcing its new initiative, Collecting in Quarantine. The project aims to

H

on real, current marine weather forecasts and wind-recording locations.

Says Miles, “I know the ship very well.

Thus I can ‘see’ what is required to do… just as if I were aboard the actual ship with the crew handling the vessel.”

The captain uses actual weather to plan “safe and feasible day-sail destinations,” though he jokes, “no through the night sails for this cruise…why tire the virtual crew out with night-watch?” (To keep things authentic, the virtual voyage was delayed a day by the gale-force winds you may remember from last week.)

Then he takes into account the likely sailable wind angles that are possible within the confines of the Chesapeake Bay and tributaries. As Miles plots the virtual Pride’s course, marine chart software called TimeZero Professional animates the route based on the ship’s sailing characteristics and changes in marine weather.

By creating a virtual voyage, Captain Miles is able to achieve something

he’s always dreamed of doing in real life: departing and arriving under sail—every time—with no motor use at all. Miles says his long-ago sailing buddies always said, “Real sailors sail away from being anchored and sail to anchoring.” But that’s not practical on real Pride voyages, since the crew travels on a tight itinerary and is expected to their destination on time.

With no time restrictions in the virtual voyage, Pride can sail as she pleases with no promised time of arrival.

And sail she has, already covering stops on the South River, at Point No Point, on the St. Mary’s River, and near Deltaville on the Piankatank. As of Tuesday morning, the virtual Pride was raising anchor from Ingram Bay around Reedville, planning to head back up Tangier Sound. You can follow the detailed Captain’s Log (complete with charted course and accounts of virtual crew activity) on Facebook.

BAY BULLETIN Excerpts from LETTERS FROM THE HOMEFRONT: March 25, 2020 – On this day, Tek writes: To whom it might concern, This pandemic is super boring. I can’t even play with other kids. It feels like I am locked in a cage and the only things in the cage are me, a Virtual Intelligence, and a pack of croutons. I think that scientists should find the antidote quick. Here are some facts I made.

This is really bad and terrible.

This is now a worldwide pandemic.

I wish I was in school.

Considering that everything about this is flat out bad and some people have died this Covid-19 is the worst thing ever in my child life.

March 24, 2020 – On this day, Susan from Pikesville writes: Well, here I am sitting in front of my bay window looking at lots of birds attending to the feeders right outside. This is a scary time, you don’t know who carries the virus and there’s no way to know since the testing is so limited. Interestingly, my son, aged 30 asked me whether I was more scared during 911. Absolutely!!

I felt I had no control over my destiny then, at least now I can choose to self-quarantine and feel that I can protect myself!

So, I’m back at the quilting, hours of tiny white stitches, “stippling” to cover the off-white background and hold the quilt together. I quilt silently for about an hour each morning. The silence is comforting and I watch the birds come and go while I work.

The Shows Must Go On Live Local Music Nightly Through May 2

Tenth Ward Distillery Company

hat if we told you that you could listen to great music and support local musicians without leaving home?

Tunes from the Town showcases local performers every night now through May 2. Don’t worry, if you miss them “live,” you can still view shows online past that date, and fill the artists’ tip jars.

The virtual concert series, hosted by Annapolis Towne Centre and Annapolis-based Symmetry Creative Agency, provides financial relief to out-ofwork, Annapolis-area musicians through Annapolis Musicians Fund for Musicians (AMFM).

“Annapolis Towne Centre and Symmetry Creative Agency will be matching donations made to the musicians, dollar for dollar, until they reach a total of $5,000,” says Ben Isenberg, principal of Symmetry Creative Agency. “That means we will be providing a total of $10,000 in donations.”

Funds raised go into the AMFM general fund and then distributed to musicians whose livelihood has been impacted by COVID-19.

“We’ve been hit just like every other industry that’s gotten shut down,” says Matt McConville, founder and president of Annapolis Musicians Fund for Musicians. “Every professional musician I know is not working at all.”

“Thankfully, we were able to get money out immediately,” McConville says. “In some cases, we know we are getting them grocery money.”

Each hour-long performance begins at 8pm on the performers’ Facebook pages as well as the Facebook pages of Annapolis Towne Centre and Visit Annapolis.

Emails and images are being uploaded and shared on the Society’s underbelly blog in two categories.

Letters from the Homefront is inspired by the poignant letters in their collection documenting the trials of the Spanish flu of 1918, and the Annapolis yellow fever epidemics of 1793 and 1800. Residents are asked to share their personal stories of how the pandemic is impacting their lives. Whether staying at home in self-quarantine or working through the crisis—each story is unique and important. In addition to Marylanders at home, MdHS is requesting stories from Marylanders abroad and healthcare workers.

Business Unusual chronicles a time when business is anything but usual. Businesses big and small are having to quickly react to the everchanging landscape that necessarily puts public health before profit. MdHS is asking business employees, owners, customers, passers-by and neighborhood residents to share their experiences so far.

“Business Unusual is our repository for all the ways businesses have adapted and changed in order to stay alive. It’s a way for us to talk about the

C. Ryan Patterson industrial spirit of Maryland,” says Tolman. “This part of the site includes stories about the distilleries that are creating hand sanitizers and ways the communities are trying to help struggling businesses.”

So far, MdHS reports “great responses” for the letters. Many area teachers are using it as a distance learning assignment. “We are getting submissions daily,” says Tolman. Writing a letter may be a good way to deal with stress and anxiety, adds Tolman.

“I think hearing from kids is really interesting. It may not be something we would ever think to ask for, but it’s

and features rock, pop, blues, acoustic roots and more.

“We’re already having an incredible turnout,” Isenberg says. “Just two nights in, we had raised roughly $2,000 in donations and are averaging 2,000 views each night.”

Doug Segree was one of the first performers to participate in the concert series.

TUNES FROM THE TOWN Line Up: 04/23 – Nick DePietro (of The Vibesmen) 04/24 – Mac & Blue 04/25 – Charles Kavoossi with Jessie Dean 04/26 – Timmie Metz 04/27 – Ray and Savannah Weaver 04/28 – Noelle & Jeff Packett 04/29 – J & Todd Kreuzburg 04/30 – Jordan Sokel of Pressing Strings 05/01 – Pete Best / Peterbuilt 05/02 – The Befuddlers “At first it felt very odd to play to an empty room, but then again, any musician would tell you it’s not the first time,” says Segree with a laugh.

“I’m used to being able to read the crowd and feed off their energy.”

Once he got past the initial strangeness, Segree quickly adapted.

“As long as I focus on the music and the songs I’m playing—and remember to look straight ahead at the camera every so often—you get used to it,” Segree says. “The comments that come in from those watching make it easier to connect with your audience.”

Segree even takes virtual requests.

“People asked for everything from my own music—even the old-school songs that I had to relearn—to pop songs from every decade,” Segree says.

“Requests are a big part of interacting with the virtual audience. Everyone gets involved.” ‫ﵭ‬ April 23 - April 30, 2020 • BAY WEEKLY • 7

Earth Day Anyway Celebrating 50th Earth Day During Pandemic

BY WARREN LEE BROWN

I

n 1969, a massive California oil spill devastated wildlife and an Ohio river literally caught fire. One year later, in 1970, 20 million Americans observed the first Earth Day. The public support pushed Congress to adopt legislation regarding clean air, clean water, toxic substances, endangered species, Federal land policy, occupational safety and surface mining, for a start.

By Earth Day’s 40th anniversary in 2010, hundreds of millions joined events in 192 countries. For the 50th anniversary this year, the Earth Day Network had hoped to mobilize one billion people. When COVID-19 became a global pandemic, Earth Day shifted from

marching in the streets to virtual activism.

The environmental movement isn’t limited to April 22. Earth Day has expanded to the point that April is now known as Earth Month. In truth, the key message behind the global celebration is that learning, advocacy, and individual actions should take place 365 days of the year. So how can you take part locally while keeping your distance? Read on.

Chesapeake Celebrates Since gathering in public spaces is no longer an option for Earth Day celebrations, area nonprofits have had to

The Gunpowder Valley Conservancy offers some ways to observe Earth Day at home or in your neighborhood.

rethink how they will honor the spirit of the holiday.

Lucy Heller, outreach coordinator for the Maryland Office of the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay laid out this agenda for this year’s celebration: a three-hour selection of inspiring short films about nature and conservation issues. Then the program moves to action: taking a walk and picking up trash, working in the garden, tree planting, replacing incandescent lights with more efficient LED’s or adopt other green practices at home. (www.allianceforthebay.org/events/earth-dayfacebook-live/) Elvia Thompson of Annapolis Green had hoped to share her organization’s message in person at the Severna Park Earth Day Festival this year. Instead, the group

will honor Earth Day virtually. Annapolis Green presents a virtual electric car showcase April 25. Viewers will learn how driving electric benefits the environment and mitigates climate change effects, what it costs to operate an electric vehicle and how to take a long road trip. The EV Earth Day Showcase is also part of the national Drive Electric Earth Day (www.annapolisgreen.com).

From the Annapolis Green website, you can also find virtual events for the City of Annapolis, the Green Give initiative, the Severna Park Earth Day Festival, and the Maryland Public Television Earth Day lineup for the week.

Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley has declared the entire month of April a time for action to protect the earth. The mayor proposed 30 daily pledges and ideas for simple, stay-at-home earth-friendly practices that Annapolitans can incorporate into daily life. Here are the four categories: WATER: clean up after your pet, conserve water in the garden AIR: walk, bike or use transit, switch to LED bulbs HABITAT: grow oysters, use natural cleaning products, create a pollinator garden EARTH: opt for paperless billing, plant a tree, create a meal plan to reduce food waste.

“We have been overwhelmed by coverage about coronavirus. We wanted to continue with our Earth Month and move to an online celebration of Earth Day because nothing is more important to the future of our city and future generations than reversing the effects of climate change,” said Buckley.

In Anne Arundel County, the 11 partners in the annual Green Give fundraising initiative have assembled an ambitious program of virtual and hands-on activities for April. These range from video tours of stream restoration projects to lessons on how to attract birds and pollinators.

You can learn how to combat invasive species, identify native trees and plants, and record the critters that live in your yard. Oysters also are featured in programs that describe how you can grow your own and help clean the water. (https://www.greengive.org/earth-day-2020)

Celebrating Earth Day reminds us that simple changes in behavior make a difference and we can stay engaged throughout the year.

And if Earth Day leaves you longing for a natural experience, the Chesapeake Conservancy in partnership with the National Park Service invites you to Find Your Chesapeake online (www.FindYourChesapeake.com).

“You can check out our wildlife webcams, operated in partnership with explore.org, take a virtual tour of

some amazing sites of the Chesapeake, including the recently-designated National Marine Sanctuary at Mallows Bay, and more,” says Joel Dunn, Conservancy president. “If you need a distraction from the news, we hope this website will serve to help you through these difficult times.”

National Park Week coincides with Earth Day this year and offers a host of virtual activities and experiences. Head to www.nps.gov for details, and then check out Google Earth’s tours of 31 National Parks using the Voyager feature. (https://earth.google.com/web/) Celebrating Earth Day reminds us that simple changes in behavior make a difference and we can stay engaged throughout the year. So even if you are reading this after April 22, it’s not too late to honor our planet. Most of the virtual programs will remain available online for later viewing. You can adopt your own best practices for saving the planet and advocate for positive action to preserve the environment. It’s Earth Day Anyway, every day. ‫ﵭ‬

Handle Nesting Birds with Care O ver the winter, I removed the top window of the door to our screenedin porch to take photos. However, by the middle of March, I saw a couple of Carolina wrens flying inside the porch and making a nest in a planter.

To get the birds off the porch, I moved the planter toward the door, a yard closer every day. Eventually, the planter was outside and the window was back in the door. Now, there are five young birds in the nest.

I have been asked what to do when a bird’s nest is disturbed or even when a nestling falls out. Birds commonly seen in a suburban environment, like wrens, cardinals, sparrows, bluebirds, robins and finches, will quickly build another nest when an empty one is destroyed. If there are eggs or nestlings, many birds will adapt and tolerate a nest being quickly put back in place. If a nestling is out of the nest for over 24 hours it can become weak or be injured and won’t be able to compete for food as well as its siblings. Its survival is less certain but it is still recommended to try to get it back in the nest.

A wildlife specialist needs to be called

for issues with birds of prey. Eagles, hawks, owls and falcons are more sensitive to human intervention and will abandon empty nests if bothered. Also, the nestlings are aggressive and pick on the weakest so the fallen nestling needs to be replaced quickly.

Birds of prey can be dangerous nest defenders. Great horned owls are particularly dangerous. A great horned owlet on the ground shouldn’t be approached. The mother flies quickly and silently and usually aims for the back of the head and neck when attacking.

Osprey are a special case. Greg Kearns, a Prince Georges County naturalist, has taken osprey nestlings that are weakened and being overpowered by their siblings and placed them in nests with a female who has lost her young or has similar sized nestlings.

These young frequently are adopted and nurtured by the new female. ‫ﵭ‬ Always call the Maryland DNR for help with birds of prey (1-877-620-8DNR) or a rescue group like Back to the Wild Rescue and Rehabilitation (http://backtothewildrescueandrehab.org/).

FISHFINDER: Since catch-and-release for striped bass is prohibited the whole of April there is little to report on the availability nor location of big rockfish these days and the May 1 season opener is anyone’s guess. The constant wind and rain, as well as the viral quarantine, have played a part in limiting travel on and around the Bay. It will be interesting to see if the limited travel may produce more successful rockfish and perch spawns this year. The perch spawning runs should have peaked by now so the fish will now be found throughout the tribs and into the mainstem, though their movements will be unpredictable. To paraphrase an old angler’s saw, “Fishing around the Chesapeake is kind of like romance, when it’s good it’s very, very good and when it’s bad, it’s still pretty good.”

I also check the manual signal whistles. One is required by law but I like to have a number of them in the bag in case of an emergency. Their sound travels much further and lasts exponentially longer than one’s own voice.

Next up is a battery check on my handheld marine radio. The indicator Signal whistle reads that the battery is fully charged but I will recharge it to be sure, it is a handy communications device in an emergency, especially if cell phones get submerged. The marine radio is waterproof, it floats, it provides updated weather conditions and storm alerts and has a backup battery pack.

Corrosion proof tools are almost as important as signal devices in this go-bag. I pack a multi-tip screwdriver, an adjustable wrench, wire cutter, a folding multi-tool device (Leatherman), two small flashlights and spare new batteries for everything.

A small first aid kit containing adhesive bandages, medical tape, gauze and disinfectant are good items to have in a waterproof bag.

of the bag.

In the nice-to-have section are a small container of sun block, a tube of insect repellent, some antacids and motion sickness tablets. During the horsefly season, you may want an outdoor insect spray, for those nasty devils are immune to most insect repellents.

Light, fabric sun masks and face sleeves are also increasingly in use these days as are arm (and leg) sun sleeves. It’s wise to have a few extra on hand for when a guest becomes miserable from unexpected overexposure and it’s too late for sun block.

You can’t be too careful on the water but being prepared is one way to ensure the best experience possible.

N E T F L I X : Virunga One of the most biodiverse places on the planet, Virunga National Park is the last haven of the mountain gorillas.

Though the land is technically protected, the gorillas are hunted by violent poachers and their habitat is clandestinely destroyed by companies hoping to mine Congo for its rich natural resources.

The only people standing between the gorillas of Virunga and death are a team of park rangers. One of the deadliest jobs on the planet, rangers are regularly killed so that gorillas can be hunted.

Still, dedicated men and women do their best to preserve one of the most endangered species on the planet.

A deeply moving documentary about the fight to save gorillas, Virunga is a mustwatch for anyone interested in conservation. The rangers, including a former child soldier, are sympathetic and fascinating people who believe totally in their mission to protect mountain gorillas. Director Orlando von Einsiedel peppers the movie with beautiful footage of gorillas who’ve been saved by the rangers, and heartrending footage of poached gorillas. This is not a film for little ones, but older teens and adults will be inspired to help join the fight to save the animals of Virunga.

H U L U : Honeyland Hatidze Muratova lives alone in an

abandoned village in the Balkans. She has no electricity, no car, and no running water. Each day she wakes, cares for her mother and then goes to work harvesting honey. Using ancient Macedonian techniques, Hatidze cultivates excellent honey and walks four hours to the nearest village to sell it.

When a new family moves to the village, Hatidze is thrilled. She plays with the young children and offers to show the family how to properly keep bees. But when the family takes a less conservation-based approach to the honey harvesting, disaster threatens to befall Hatidze and her beloved bees.

Featuring stunning cinematography, Honeyland is a parable about conservation of nature and tradition. Directors Tamara Kotevska and Ljubomir Stefanov capture a beautiful tale of humanity, with Hatidze at the center as a dignified emblem of a rapidly vanishing way of life.

Baltimore’s Strange Fruit Stuck in a food desert, many citizens in the inner city of Baltimore don’t have easy access to diverse fruits and vegetables.

Unsatisfied with the ability to provide nutritious food to their families, as well as corporate and social constructs that keep them from getting food, communities began to take action by creating gardens.

Learning to garden and take back the land helps Baltimoreans take a stand and find their way out of the food desert.

An interesting documentary that covers social politics, class issues, food conservation, and community-backed solutions to problems, Baltimore’s Strange Fruit is a great look at how sowing seeds can help people flourish.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Renowned Taurus composer Johannes Brahms (1833–1897) completed his first symphony when he was 43 years old—even though he’d started work on it at age 22. Why did it take him so long? One factor was his reverence for Ludwig van Beethoven, the composer who had such a huge impact on the development of classical music. In light of Beethoven’s mastery, Brahms felt unworthy. How could any composer add new musical ideas that Beethoven hadn’t already created? But after more than two decades, Brahms finally managed to overcome his inhibition. He eventually produced four symphonies and scores of other pieces, and left a major mark on musical history. For you, Taurus, I see the coming months as a phase comparable to the time when Brahms finally built the strength necessary to emerge from the shadow that had inhibited him.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A Gemini friend sent me and three of her other allies a poignant email. “This note is a tender apology to those of you whom I’ve hurt in the process of hurting myself,” she began. “I want you to know that I have been working hard and with great success to eliminate my unconscious tendency to hurt myself. And I am confident this means I will also treat you very well in the future.” I received her message with joy and appreciation. Her action was brave and wise. I invite you to consider making a comparable adjustment in the weeks ahead.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The Ojibwe are indigenous people of North America. Professor of Ojibwe studies Anton Treuer writes that in their traditional culture, there have been men who act and dress like women and women who act and dress like men. The former are called ikwekaazo and the latter ikwekaazowag. Both have been “always honored” and “considered to be strong spiritually.” Many other Native American groups have had similar arrangements.

Transcending traditional gender behavior is not unique to modern Western civilization. With that as inspiration, and in accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to explore any inclinations you might have to be your own unique gender.

14 • BAY WEEKLY • April 23 - April 30, 2020

The time is ripe for experimenting with and deepening your relationship with the constructs of “masculine” and “feminine.”

the next phase of the coronavirus crisis will be a favorable time for you to intensify your communication via the written word.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “The history of my stupidity would fill many volumes,” wrote Nobel Prize-winning poet Czesław Miłosz. Wow! If a highly respected genius like him has spawned so much nonsense and ignorance, what about the rest of us? Here’s what I have to say about the subject: Each of us should strive to be at peace with the fact that we are a blend of wisdom and folly. We should be tenderly compassionate toward our failures and weaknesses, and not allow them to overshadow our brilliance and beauty. Now would be a good time for you Leos to cultivate this acceptance and perform this blessing for yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Helen Traubel (1899–1972) was bestknown for her opera career, although she also sang in concerts, nightclubs, and musical theater. But in her autobiography, she confessed, “Opera bored me.” She reminds me of Georgia O’Keeffe, famous painter of flowers. “I hate flowers,” O’Keeffe said. “I paint them because they’re cheaper than models and they don’t move.” Now of course most of us have to do some things that we don’t enjoy; that seems to be a routine part of being human.

And since the coronavirus arrived in our midst, you may have been saddled with even more of this burden. But I’m happy to inform you that the coming weeks will be a favorable time to brainstorm about how you could do more of what you love to do once the crisis has abated.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): What’s the current state of the relationship between your ego and your soul? Is there an uneasy truce between the ambitious part of you that craves success and recognition and the lyrical part of you that yearns for rich experiences and deep meaning? Or do those two aspects of you get along pretty well—maybe even love and respect each other? Now is a favorable time to honor your ego and soul equally, Libra—to delight in the activities of both, to give them plenty of room to play and improvise, and to encourage them to collaborate in ways that will further your well-rounded happiness and health.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio author Voltaire (1694–1778) was a crusader for freedom of thought and civil liberties, as well as a key player in the Enlightenment. He was very prolific. In addition to producing 2,000 books and pamphlets, his carried on such voluminous written correspondences with so many interesting people that his collected letters fill 98 volumes. Would you consider getting inspired by Voltaire’s approach to crosspollination? According to my calculations,

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I like musician David Byrne’s views on what constitutes meaningful work. It’s not just the tasks you do to earn money.

“Sex is a job,” he says. “Growing up is a job.

School is a job. Going to parties is a job. Religion is a job. Being creative is a job.” In other words, all the activities he names, to be done well, require a commitment to excellence and an attention to detail. They are worthy of your diligent efforts, strenuous exertion, and creative struggle. I encourage you to meditate on these thoughts during the coming weeks. Identify what jobs you want to get better at and are willing to work hard on and would like to enjoy even more than you already do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): At its best and brightest, Capricornian love isn’t frivolous or flighty. It’s not shallow or sloppy or slapdash. When Capricornian love is at its highest potency, it’s rigorous, thoughtful, and full-bodied. It benefits anyone who’s involved with it. I bring this up because I expect the coming weeks to be a Golden Age of Capricornian Love—a time when you will have the inspiration and intelligence necessary to lift your own experience of love to a higher octave.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I hope you’re not one of those Aquarians who regards stability and security as boring. I hope you don’t have an unconscious predilection for keeping yourself in a permanent state of nervous uncertainty. If you do suffer from those bad habits, you’ll be hardpressed to stick to them in the coming weeks. That’s because the cosmic energies will be working to settle you down into a steady groove. If you cooperate, you will naturally enhance your ability to be wellanchored, calmly steadfast, and at home in your life. Please don’t resist this opportunity.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I foresee the likelihood that you’ll be having brilliant and evocative conversations with yourself in the coming weeks.

Your heart and your head may become almost blissful as they discuss how best to create a dynamic new kind of harmony.

Your left side and right side will declare a truce, no longer wrestling each other for supremacy, and they may even join forces to conjure up unprecedented collaborations. The little voices in your head that speak for the past will find common ground with the little voices in your head that speak for the future—and as a result you may be inspired to formulate a fresh master plan that appeals both.

COMPILED BY ANDREWS M MEEL SYNDICATION

Getting the Message Out Civic-minded car designer Kanyaboyina Sudhakar of the Sudha Cars Museum in Bahadurpura, India, has built a one-seat vehicle in the shape of the coronavirus “so that awareness can be spread on social distancing,” he told The Times of India on April 8. The six-wheeled Corona Car can go about 25 mph and took Sudhakar 10 days to build.

“I have always made cars to give back to the society in my own way,” Sudhakar said. “(I)t is important to tell people to stay home and stay safe, and the coronavirus car is meant to convey the message.”

Priorities Desperate Measures

As tornadoes bore down on the Southeast on April 12, an unnamed family sought safety in a storm shelter in Crossville, Alabama, but said they were turned away when they had only one face mask. The woman told WHNT a man who opened the door asked if they had masks. “I said I have one mask,” the woman said. “He motioned no and shut the door.” The family ran back to their car and looked for shelter elsewhere. Crossville Mayor Tera Fortenberry had posted the face coverings requirement on Facebook, but the family didn’t see the message. After the story became public, masks were donated to the town anonymously.

Buried Treasure Names in the News • A baby born on April 6 in Sheopur, Bhopal, India, will carry a special name with him through his life: Lockdown. Manju Mail, his mother, confirmed to hospital staff: “Yes, he is Lockdown, as he was born during the lockdown period.” Her husband, Raghunath, told The Times of India: “It is a significant name. The whole world using lockdown as a means to stem this pandemic. We should not take Lockdown lightly.”

• Similarly, in Chhattisgarh, India, another couple blessed their twins, born March 27, with timely names: Corona and Covid. Preeti Verma, 27, told the Press Trust of India her children’s names symbolize triumph over hardships. “Indeed the virus is dangerous and life-threatening, but its outbreak made people focus on sanitation, hygiene and inculcate other good habits,” she said.

The Continuing Crisis Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a home in Saugus, California, on April 7 after a dispute over toilet paper turned violent, CNN reported. A 26-year-old man was arrested and charged with battery after his mother told deputies he had punched her. Sheriff’s department spokesperson Shirley Miller said the man had accused his mother of hiding toilet paper, which she admitted to deputies, saying her son was

A man in Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire, England, set out to build a deck in his back garden in early April and uncovered a mystery. As John Brayshaw, 40, began digging post holes, he unearthed an automobile buried on its side, Yahoo News UK reported. “I thought it was an old air raid shelter at first, then I saw the roof,” Brayshaw said. “Then I kept digging and saw the door, the steering wheel and realized it was a full car, complete with the registration plate. The only thing that was missing was the wheels.”

Brayshaw, who has owned the home for about six months, believes the 1955/56 Ford predates the previous owners, who resided in the home 50 years.

Inexplicable • Davis, California, resident Shaun Lamar Moore, 40, was arrested on April 12 and charged with burglary after allegedly stealing a specimen that was waiting to be tested for COVID-19 from the Sutter Davis Hospital. Authorities said hospital employees reported a person had entered the facility April 11 and removed the specimen, Fox News reported. That evening, police were alerted that a sealed COVID-19 specimen was found in a shopping cart at a nearby CVS store.

Police Deputy Chief Paul Doroshov said the specimen “hadn’t been opened or tam-

Ewwwww A new study has found the presence of a parasitic worm called Anisakis, or herring worms, in raw or undercooked seafood has increased 283-fold since the 1970s. Study co-author Chelsea Wood, assistant professor in the University of Washington’s School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, said most people who’ve eaten the worms think they have food poisoning. The symptoms are much the same, she told United Press International, and they disappear after the worm dies in a few days. But the worms can reach 0.8 inches in length and are visible to the naked eye, Wood noted.

While fish processors and sushi chefs are adept at removing the worms, she suggested cutting sushi in half and inspecting each piece if you’re concerned.

Olive Veronesi, 93, of Seminole, Pennsylvania, wasn’t shy about letting loved ones know what she needed during the lockdown. “I need more beer!” read a sign she held up, along with a can of Coors Light. A relative posted Veronesi’s photo to social media, KDKA reported, and her predicament went viral. “I have a beer every night. ... I was on my last 12 cans.

• Kevin Fallon, 30, of New York City reportedly sent warnings to friends and family on April 9 that he intended to blow up a bronze statue in Central Park depicting characters from Alice in Wonderland, according to court documents. On April 11, he allegedly followed up with photos of a pipe bomb and ammunition, along with threats: “This is going to hurt. None of you are safe. I am lethal.” At his mother’s request, NYPD conducted a wellness check at his apartment that day and found three bombs, ammunition and knives that had been taped together, authorities said. The New York Post reported the bombs were found to be nonfunctional, and later that day, Fallon was found at a hotel in the city, where he was taken into custody and charged with making a terroristic threat.

As leaders worldwide search for ways to encourage people to stay home during the coronavirus pandemic, officials in Indonesia are taking advantage of its citizens’ superstitions, Reuters reported on April 13.

Kepuh, a village on Java island, is employing village residents to dress as “pocong,” or the trapped souls of the dead, in Indonesian folklore. The ghostly figures, wrapped in white shrouds with their heads covered and dark-rimmed eyes peering out, surprise unsuspecting pedestrians, then disappear into the night. The strategy appears to be working: Villagers have been seen running off in fright when the pocong appear.

“People will not gather or stay on the streets after evening prayers,” resident Karno Supadmo said.

Least Competent Criminal Furquan Muhammad, 22, started his very bad encounter with law enforcement on April 11 when he sped off after being pulled over in Monroe County, Georgia, for not having a license tag, authorities said. Georgia State Patrol spokesperson Lt. Stephanie Stallings told the Atlanta Journal Constitution that as the car sped by, troopers saw “there were other passengers in the fleeing vehicle that appeared to be children.” The chase went on through four counties, until Muhammad crashed into a state trooper’s car, which then caused a chain reaction involving four police vehicles and injured two troopers, according to authorities. Along with Muhammad in the car, deputies said they found four children (ranging in age from 9 weeks to 15 years old), marijuana, Xanax pills, a firearm and $2,000 in cash. Muhammad was arrested on multiple charges. ‫ﵭ‬ Send your weird news items with subject line WEIRD NEWS to WeirdNewsTips@amuniversal.com.

How many two or more letter words can you make in 2 minutes from the letters in: Cleaves Ever hear of a contronym? It's like an antonym only completely different. It's one word with two opposite meanings. Like buckle can mean 'to fasten tightly' or 'to bend and give way,' and overlook can mean 'to see' or 'to not see,' cleave can either be used as 'cling to' or 'separate from.' The reason is one meaning comes from Germanic origin and one is Middle English. Cleavage began as a geologists term for where rocks 'break cleanly along natural fissures,' then borrowed by Hollywood censors in the 40's to describe an area they wished to buckle and overlook.

E, T, A, O, N and I are the most often used letters. A single letter is usually A or I; OF, IS and IT are common 2-letter words; and THE and AND are common 3-letter words. Good luck!
