Rethinking Groceries

I

t all started with toilet paper.

The first week of March, many of us had heard of the coronavirus spreading overseas. We had read cruise ship horror stories, and seen economic uncertainty hit Wall Street. We were warned the coronavirus was on track to reach the U.S. and would likely impact our everyday lives. But that week, not many folks were making plans for business shutdowns, stay-at-home orders, or long-term school closures.

The tide turned quickly. The very next week COVID-19 was declared a pandemic and Maryland schools made plans to close. People didn’t know quite what to do to prepare for the coronavirus, an invisible enemy that hadn’t yet touched most local hospitals. Feeling disoriented, we readied for the possible COVID-19 impacts as we would a predicted snowstorm: by rushing to the grocery store and stocking up on essentials.

Almost immediately, stores experienced shortages of toilet paper, disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer, and staple foods like bananas, meat, eggs, and even frozen vegetables. Retail demand has been “unprecedented,” according to the Food and Drug Administration.

As my family’s chief meal planner, cook, and

CONTENTS BAY BULLETIN

mother to two little boys who eat like fast-growing puppies, I worried that we wouldn’t be able to find the things on our grocery list. Over the last five weeks we’ve learned to buy an extra loaf of bread to freeze for later. We discovered that when Safeway was out of milk and eggs, we could find them at Rite Aid. Thanks to hard-working retail employees, there is almost nothing we’ve had to go without.

Still, with a stay-at-home order in place, my husband and I are making a concerted effort to consolidate trips to the grocery and convenience stores. Instead of swinging by mid-week to pick up a few things we’ve run out of, we carefully plan our shopping list to get us from Monday to Monday. Only one of us goes to the store. We feel pretty secure in this approach, but national headlines warning of possible food shortages are unnerving for anyone with a family to feed.

That’s why this issue of Bay Weekly is taking a close look at how we get our food during the COVID-19 era. As retail demand is sky-high and restaurant demand is drastically reduced, more local food service businesses are pivoting to sell retail groceries and supplies. At the upscale Chart House restaurant overlooking

Spa Creek, you can make a to-go order for butter, potatoes, bulk-sized cooking items like chicken broth, and yes—toilet paper at $1 per roll. Other businesses pack up and sell a pre-selected “produce box” of staples. It’s a new way to think about getting household necessities, to be sure.

Some families worry less about where to shop for food and more about how to afford it in the first place, as they face job loss or pay cuts. Local businesses are working to solve that problem, too. Bay Weekly continues to report on options for those who need help putting meals on the table, including an inventive program connecting people who want to donate restaurant meals with those who need them.

Week after week we’re inspired by the ingenuity of our communities taking unprecedented steps to help keep businesses afloat and neighbors fed.

As long as this lasts, we’ll continue to bring their efforts to light. And remember, in a pinch, you can always order a roll of toilet paper to go along with your carryout prime rib entrée. p — MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM NEWS DIRECTOR

VIRUS & VISA SHORTAGE A ONE-TWO PUNCH FOR CRAB SEASON rab season is off to a slow and foreboding start around the Chesapeake Bay, with many crabmeat processors crippled by an inability to import seasonal workers and by watermen worried they’ll be unable to sell all they can catch as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

C

Chilly, windy weather limited commercial harvests of blue crabs through much of April, the first full month of the season. Warming spring weather usually brings better fortunes, but those in the business of catching or picking crabs say they fear for their livelihoods amid the double whammy that’s hit the Bay’s most valuable fishery.

“It’s kind of a really scary situation,” said Bill Sieling, executive vice president of the Chesapeake Bay Seafood Industries Association, which represents Maryland companies. “It just doesn’t look good.”

Many of the crabmeat processing businesses around the Bay are short-handed because they failed to get federal approval to bring in as many foreign workers as they have in previous years.

The Department of Homeland Security held a lottery in January to distribute a reduced pool of 33,000 H-2B visas nationwide to all of the landscaping, construction and other businesses seeking to bring in seasonal labor, mainly from Mexico and Central America. Under pressure, the department announced in March it would hand out another 35,000 visas, but shelved that in early April amid the coronavirus pandemic.

As a result, only three of Maryland’s nine “picking houses,” as the crab processors are known, received any visas in the initial drawing. After missing out on the lottery, Lindy’s Seafood on Hoopers Island was looking at limping along with a half-dozen local workers.

“We could sell more product, we just can’t produce it,” said sales manager Aubrey Vincent.

Then, in late April, she said she got federal approval to bring back 61 workers who’d picked crabmeat at the plant last fall.

“It’s not all of my people,” she said, noting that the plant typically hires more than 100 seasonal workers. Still, she said, “it’s better than no people.”

J. M. Clayton Co. in Cambridge was among the lucky ones. Co-owner Jack Brooks said the company got its request granted via the lottery for about 60 visas.

But then coronavirus intervened.

Brooks said that with restaurants shut down and many people losing jobs, the demand for crabmeat is off, and he’s not sure when or if it will come back. So, the company has arranged to bring in “a few more than 20” workers for now.

“We’re looking at probably 30–45% capacity at best,” Brooks said.

Photo: Dave Harp Though unable to process much crabmeat, processors say they’re still able to sell live or steamed crabs. There appears to be a robust demand for the limited supply available in this slow-starting season.

J. M. Clayton has seen an uptick in retail crab sales, Brooks said. In response, the company has set up a makeshift drive-up window where customers can

place orders and pick them up.

“People blow a horn, we go to the window and talk to them,” he said. That way, he explained, “people don’t walk in like they used to” and risk getting or spreading coronavirus.

Watermen wonder if they’ll be able to sell their catch when warmer weather usually brings more crabs into their boats.

“There haven’t been many crabs so far,” said Jeff Harrison, president of the Talbot Watermen Association. But demand is off, with restaurants closed and many markets not buying much seafood.

“Right now,” he added, “there really isn’t a problem selling them.”

Harrison said he’s worried about how long the coronavirus shutdowns are going to last. Even if restaurants and other businesses start to reopen in the coming month, he foresees a season where watermen won’t earn as much for what they catch — and feel lucky just to be able to sell it at all.

The $2 trillion in COVID-19 economic relief passed by Congress in late March included $300 million for the seafood industry. But that’s to be distributed nationwide, and industry officials say it’s far from enough to keep everyone afloat.

“Even if it lasts another month, it’s still going to be a mess,” Harrison said. “And if it goes two months, we’re done.”

Amid news reports that air and water quality have improved as a result of so many businesses closed and people ordered to stay home, Harrison said the effort to halt the spread of coronavirus is probably helping the Bay. But, he added, it’s “not the way we wanted it to happen.”

Ice breaker J. Millard Tawes delivers supplies to Tangier Island.

Photo: Maryland DNR

NEW MD. ICEBREAKER BOAT TO REPLACE TAWES he and her crew have been out in the Chesapeake Bay’s most extreme conditions, and now it’s time for Maryland’s J. Millard Tawes ice breaker boat to head to retirement.

A $9.1 million contract is currently awaiting state approval for a Rhode Island boatbuilder to construct a modern, new buoy tender to break ice on the Bay. The 100-foot, 167-ton Tawes was commissioned by the Coast Guard in 1942 but has been in service for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources’

S

(DNR) since 1972.

The 78-year-old vessel serves as the primary ice breaker for Crisfield Harbor and Smith Island, also supporting Tangier Island when those islands are cut off from their supply sources by heavy ice. During seasons of heavy ice, the island communities rely on the state’s boat for food, fuel, medicine and emergency transport.

The Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) can also call upon the Tawes to evacuate Smith Island during weather emergencies like hurricanes. When she’s not breaking ice, Tawes can safely carry large weights up to 900 pounds each that secure buoys in the open waters of the

lower Bay and Pocomoke and Tangier sounds. She is operated by DNR’s Hydrographic Operations Division.

DNR says the Tawes’ age makes her difficult to maintain—most major systems, including the main engines– haven’t been made since 1980. When something breaks and parts are needed, they must be custom-built. She has reached the end of her usable life span.

The state sought bids for a design and construction of a new ice breaker/buoy tender vessel, to be paid for with a portion of the Waterway Improvement Fund (raised through the state’s boating excise tax).

Blount Boats, Inc. of Warren, Rhode

Island signed up to taking on the task at a cost of $9,134,375. The contract is awaiting approval by the Maryland Board of Public Works (because it is a single piece of equipment that exceeds $200,000). DNR noted it was difficult to find a local contractor to do the job because the buoy tender is too large for a boatyard and too small for a shipyard.

Blount Boats has delivered commercial vessels like ferries, Chicago’s architectural tour boats, and Army passenger vessels to be used in the South Pacific.

The icebreaker contract is on the Board of Public Works agenda for its May 6 meeting.

Feeding Our Hungry and Our Heroes Operation Open Tab Provides Restaurant Meals to Hungry Families

BY KRISTA PFUNDER

new meal distribution program to help those who are struggling during pandemic comes from an unexpected source: a house cleaning service.

Lucia Tucker, owner of Deale-based business Cleaning Maid Easy, is essentially working as a go-between for those who need a meal and those who want to donate one from a local restaurant.

“We’ve sensed the overwhelming feeling of anxiety and worry over if— and when—individuals would receive unemployment or get back to work,” says Tucker. “We knew the community would get involved if they had a way.”

Tucker sold quarantine cleaning kits from the supplies she had in her office and was able to raise $500 to start Operation Open Tab. Anyone in need of a meal can call a participating restaurant and receive a free meal (limit of one meal per family).

“We asked the community and businesses to donate directly to the restaurants and we have raised over $5,000,” Tucker says.

Eight South County restaurants are participating. Each takes a specific night to provide free meals. (SEE BOX) For example, on Sundays, West River Pit and S&J’s Riverside in Galesville offer free meals. To receive the free meal, you must call the restaurant at least a day in advance.

“Lucia wanted to find a way to provide hot food,” says Jessica Rosage, coowner of Skipper’s Pier in Deale. “Our customers are the life blood of our business and we care about them like family. This is us getting a chance to lend a helping hand to family.”

“We not only need donations, but we need anyone who has recently been laid off; who is struggling or who is hungry to come forward and be fed,” Tucker says.

A

Lucia Tucker announces Operation Open Tab via a Facebook video “Each person will be allowed to order anything from our appetizers, salads or sandwiches menu,” says Rosage.

“No questions asked besides to call when they arrive and we can bring it to their car.”

To donate, or to receive a meal, contact the restaurants directly.

Other options exist for those who are struggling to feed themselves or their family. Feed Anne Arundel is an effort that pays area restaurants to make meals those who are in need to be distributed at mobile food pantry sites.

One of the sandwiches provided to our first responders

“We asked the community and businesses to donate directly to the restaurants and we have raised over $5,000.”

—LUCIA TUCKER, OWNER OF DEALE-BASED BUSINESS CLEANING MAID EASY

Seniors and school children are supplied with meals by county agencies.

Food banks and pantries are also open throughout the option as are smaller church-run and neighborhood pantries. An extensive list of these can be found at: https://www.aacounty.org/ coronavirus/food/.

Bethany Air in Edgewater is also hosting a food pantry three days a week, MWF from 2-4pm. The pantry is stocked by community donation and is open to anyone who needs it. Owner Tim Zois says drop offs can be arranged, too. (410-956-8756, 171 Mayo Road Edgewater).

Feeding the Heroes on the Front Lines Our communities continue to support each other in a number of ways.

Earlier this month, US Foods brought 300 premade grab-and-go bags of groceries to Hidden Harbor Marina in Deale for restaurant workers in need.

Local police departments, firefighters and hospital staff are receiving meals courtesy of local restaurants.

Employees of Brian Boru in Severna Park, Galway Bay in Annapolis, Killarney House in Davidsonville and Pirates Cove in Galesville have been hard at work preparing and delivering meals to first responders.

What started out just weeks ago as a delivery of 100 meals once a week for medical staff at Anne Arundel Medical Center in Annapolis is now up to 200 meals twice a week.

A typical meal for a first responder might be an entree salad with chicken and salmon or a house-made corned beef sandwich.

To support the Community First Responder Meals Fund, go to any of the restaurant’s websites www.killarney housepub.com, www.brianborupub.com, www.galwaybaymd.com, or www. piratescovemd.com and donate online.

All of the donations received are used to support the fund. More than $27,000 has already been raised.

The Irish restaurants were helping feed their employees as well as frontlines workers. Once a week, employees were offered a family meal that feeds four.

Roundtable Relief is also giving first responders and health care workers meals created by local restaurants https://roundtablerelief.org/. ‫ﵭ‬

Doodles During Pandemic

BY KATHY KNOTTS

ith plenty of time and nowhere to go, a lot can happen inside an artist’s studio. Annapolis artist Cindy Fletcher Holden began with simply organizing her studio space. She soon discovered a way she could feel useful as an artist during the pandemic.

Holden discovered a shelf full of boxes of glossy photo paper so she began experimenting with ink brush pens. She calls her creations “doodles” and so far, they have included Chesapeake Bay landscapes and botanical images.

W

DOCTORS OF OPTOMETRY Protect your eyes for a lifetime!

After some well-received reactions to the ones she posted on Facebook, she knew what she wanted to do during

her stay-at-home period.

“I decided to sell them for whatever anyone could spend, starting at $10 a piece, and then give 100% to charity,” she said. She started with the Downtown Annapolis Partnership, and the project has taken off.

“I’ve sold 20 so far and making more so I can post them on Facebook to keep the momentum going.

They sell pretty fast,” Holden says.

With plenty of time and lots of paper to fill, she began running out of ink. So, Art Things in West Annapolis donated more pens for her cause.

Holden says she was saddened to see so many people out of work in her hometown. “Along with restaurant, bar and store owners and employees, there are artists whose works are in closed galleries, musicians who can’t play gigs,

Artist Cindy Fletcher Holden creates small artworks to sell for local charities. and independent contractors who are unable to do a variety of skills,” she says. “Downtown Annapolis Partnership seemed a fitting organization in which to give as one of its missions is to sustain local businesses as well as much more.”

Holden says she hasn’t raised a lot of money yet, simply because she wanted to set her prices low enough to entice a buyer. “It’s kind of tough to ask people to give money when they are out of work. I haven’t been putting a price on them, I just tell folks to give what they can, starting at $10 each. Most have sold for more than that.”

The Lighthouse Restaurant in Solomons has turned its dining room into a market for fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy and household items for the community to purchase.

MORE

than a Meal Restaurants now offer groceries, too

BY KATHY KNOTTS

O

ur collective food landscape has changed since the coronavirus arrived. Restaurants have closed their dining rooms and grocery stores now require masks and physical distancing. We’ve been asked to consolidate our shopping trips. Finding the staples to fill your pantry and fridge has become frankly, a bit stressful for some. Pair that with the recent news that beef, chicken and pork processing plants are in danger of shutting down and putting a crimp in the national supply chain? Cue the stress eating.

Now, there’s a growing number of ways to get groceries in Chesapeake communities that don’t involve traditional grocery stores at all.

8 • BAY WEEKLY • April 30 - May 7, 2020

Get It To-Go While restaurants are limited to making meals for carry-out or delivery, much of their bulk-sized quantities of supplies are going unused. To solve their oversupply problem and keep business going, some restaurants are now selling groceries and paper goods directly to customers.

One such business is Café Mezzanotte in Severna Park. This whitetablecloth Italian dining spot is serving its standard menu for delivery and curbside carryout, but now is also selling grocery items in its own organic market.

“We began with a seafood market in late March,” saws owner Kosmas “Tommie” Koukoulis. “Our current organic market began in early April and now includes seafood, produce and meats.”

Koukoulis says the market was born out of three goals. One, to find new ways for the restaurant to thrive during the pandemic. Two, to support local farmers and “the largest co-op we buy from (Lancaster Farm Fresh), which is both local and organic.” Three, “to give the community access to these great products.”

The market sells out every week—

There are grocery items available from places like Chart House in Annapolis, Harvest Thyme in Davidsonville, Adam’s Ribs in Eastport, Vida Taco in Severna Park and many more.

The Lighthouse Restaurant in Solomons began offering customers groceries in early March. Owners Rusty and Nick Shriver know that paying it forward this way will pay off for them in the long run.

“We have been in the industry for 22 years and we are family-owned and still have some employees that have stuck with us,” says Rusty Shriver.

“Right now, we are working harder for less profit because we want to support the community instead.”

With support from Sysco Eastern Maryland, the restaurant began ordering extra items to be sold to their community. The Lighthouse sold 100 one-pound packages of yeast—a hot commodity— within hours; Easter ribeye loins sold out just as quickly, as did 400 cases of chicken wings.

You can find The Lighthouse Restaurant’s current menu and grocery offerings on their Facebook page.

Shriver says the pandemic’s effect on his business has been the biggest obstacle he’s ever faced during his career.

“The longer it goes on, it’s going to get more challenging,” he said. “The food shortage is a real problem, but hopefully we can reopen soon and I know our government will do it with safety in mind for the public. I was raised in the belief that small business is the just in time for new products to arrive for the next week’s market.

The Café Mezzanotte market changes weekly to reflect the availability of offerings from the farmers. A typical market menu offers organic fruits, dairy, eggs, jams, cheese, honey, beverages and a variety of vegetables including hydroponically grown tomatoes, lettuce, herbs from the Eastern Shore.

And, adds, Koukoulis, “arguably the best salmon money can buy from Ora King Salmon (NZ).” “New to the market are Creekstone Farms Beef Box (not local but certainly the quality that we demand) and Local Pork and Poultry boxes.”

The Show Must Go On(line) The Polymath Place theater group, The Polymath Players, was supposed to host their spring production of Peter Pan last weekend. Alas, a pandemic put the production on hold. But these clever minds found a way to continue their show virtually. The actors—all area children and teens—recorded their lines and songs on video in full costume to create a complete unique theater experience. Buy a ticket for early access to the show Saturday, May 2 at 7pm. Or watch for free Monday, May 4 at 7pm.

Egg Watch The Maryland Zoo’s trumpeter swan pair has egg-citing new additions to their nest and the Zoo has set up a wildlife camera so we can all take a peek while waiting for the first peep. Trumpeter swans Buttercup and Scuttle are part of a Zoo conservation project. Each year,

once the cygnets (baby swans) are fully grown, the Zoo transports them to Iowa to be released as a part of a special conservation program with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. The average clutch size for the species is 4-6 eggs and eggs hatch after approximately 34 days of gestation. The first egg, laid on Sunday, April 12, should hatch beginning in mid-May. This is the couple’s fifth clutch. Trumpeter swans are the largest waterfowl species native to North America and the largest swan in the world.

GARDENING FOR HEALTH

BY MARIA PRICE

A Plant for Your Achy Breaky Heart A t this time of extreme stress, the plant world offers symbolic fixes for many saddened hearts.

I believe the perennial known as old-fashioned bleeding heart to be one of the most beautiful flowers.

Its botanical name is Dicentra spectabalis. It has lovely long wands of pink hearts with what looks like a drop of blood dripping from the bottom. As a child, I first saw a drawing of this flower in a coloring book and I couldn’t believe that a flower existed that actually looked like that.

Bleeding heart likes to grow in shady areas especially with moist soil. It is a long-lived perennial that completely disappears by midsummer. It’s good to plant them near a shrub or other perennial that will cover their empty space.

Old-fashioned bleeding heart is usually pink, but there are also white, red and yellow varieties.

There’s a new red form known as ‘Valentine’. The native bleeding heart is called cutleaf bleeding heart or Dicentra eximia. It is not as showy as the old-fashioned bleeding heart. It has myriads of

small elongated heart-shaped, rose-pink flowers with grayishgreen fern-like foliage. This one starts blooming in May and continues into the fall. This woodland native is shorter, 12 to 18 inches in height and does well in shade or sun.

Bleeding heart is also the subject of a folk tale. Princess Dicentra was walking through the woods one day when an old witch grabbed her and put a curse on her. The witch stuck her inside a bleeding-heart flower only allowing her to be released by a prince. Of course, one day, a prince rode by on his horse and jumped off to examine a beautiful flower growing by a stream. He plucked the heartshaped flower and released Princess Dicentra from the flower. (You too, can do this, by turning the flower upside down and pulling the pink petals down of her dress and Princess Dicentra’s head and upper body will pop up above her petal skirts.) Of course, the prince and princess lived happily ever after.

SPORTING LIFE

BY DENNIS DOYLE

Easy Choices for Improving Angling Success T here are an endless number of theories on the Chesapeake concerning the choices that can maximize angling success but rule number one has always been, “The best time to go fishing is whenever you can with whatever bait you have.” It’s a dictum with which I never argue.

If I have my druthers, though, I’ve found there are advantages to choosing some days over others. The dark of the moon is one of those. The week before, the day of and the week after a new moon have always provided (in my experience) better fishing. Not vastly superior choices to be sure, but

generally, a bit better.

“When is it the best time of day to fish?” is another question that will always be cause for debate. I, and others, have discovered that the first four hours starting at first light (not sunrise, that’s almost an hour later) and the last three hours before full dark (not sundown) to prove most productive.

The worst times are usually from about 11am till 3pm, but if these hours are all that are available to you, see rule number one. And if the day is overcast or otherwise raining lightly, you can ignore this.

If you’re fishing from shore or are targeting shoreline structure, those morn-

FISHFINDER: Friday, May 1 and the opening of the rockfish trophy season is upon us and it is not one second too soon, with cabin fever running rampant. Fishing for sustenance is an exception to the mandated stay-at-home order [at press time], while keeping a safe distance from others, of course.

There is little to no reliable information on trophy rockfish availability, location nor density in recent days. However, I will predict that the bite should be better than ever.

With so few people on the Chesapeake, stripers should be unwary. The traditional slow trolling methods will again produce the best results and the traditional colors of white, yellow and/or chartreuse will prove the most effective. Big bucktails adorned with Sassy Shad bodies will also be a top bait choice. The fish will be cruising in the top 15 feet of the water column or on the bottom—few in between. Bait anglers should use fresh menhaden or jumbo bloodworms on big circle hooks. Minimum size of a trophy rock is 35 inches and the limit is one. When you’ve got your one keeper fish per person, the dictates of good sportsmanship demand that it’s time to change species. Blue catfish are a good next choice, fishing cut bait on the bottom the best method. Cut the fish into finger sized pieces and fry it in peanut oil, then enjoy. Fishing season is officially here and all is well. Grab a rod and carry on.

nel edges and in shallower waters early morning and late evenings.

The freshest cut menhaden should be your first choice of bait from springtime through mid- to late-June. The chum and bottom fishing bites will be best then. And the best chum (ground menhaden) will also be the freshest (even though frozen) available and the

The first four hours starting at first light and the last three hours before full dark prove most productive. before a tidal change and two hours after, though it inevitably dies almost everywhere when the current comes full slack.

Throughout the Chesapeake later in the season, fish can prove very fickle and begin preferring one particular tidal condition over another to feed.

The only way to be sure of success is to fish an entire cycle from the beginnings of the flood to the final stage of the ebb—or vice versa.

The next most common query is, “What’s the best bait?” If it’s nearing a full moon and the crabs are beginning to slough, you’ll want some crab on your hooks. A soft crab just beginning to harden (a paper or leather shell) is best. It will still have the irresistible soft crab scent but its internal structure will have hardened enough to hold a hook and frustrate bait thieves.

Fish it deep, drifting along the chan-

menhaden netted from the area closest to where you will be fishing.

Come summertime when the Norfolk spot show up, most rockfish will only have eyes for them. Live-lining the little spot will have outstanding success everywhere they are available. Bigger stripers, though, will definitely and eagerly cheat. A just legal-sized (nine inch) croaker, fished live on a circle hook, has seduced many a lunker.

All of these tips are dependent on many variables. The wind velocity and direction for instance, not only locally but all the way to the Atlantic, can confound any tide or current table. Nighttime cloud cover will negate any moonlight forecasts and bait recommendations can vary with location and the peculiarity of individual fish.

There is, ultimately, only one effective choice that an angler can make. And for that, see rule number one. ‫ﵭ‬ W E D N E S D AY

ings and evenings will also prove best when they are in the higher phases of a full tide. I’m guessing that when fish are exposing themselves in the shoreline shallows, they prefer as much water as possible under their bellies.

When fishing in the deeper waters of the Bay the bite will usually be best sometime during the last two hours

CREATURE FEATURE

STORY AND PHOTO BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

The Funnel Web Spider: Maker of shimmering mornings n mid-March, while taking an early morning walk, I noticed sparkling webs spreading for several feet from the edges of rock and logs. The morning dew was catching the sun. Each web had a centralized opening. Those beautiful coverings were the work of funnel web spiders.

The funnel spider’s webs spread out like a carpet from the spider’s tubelike living chamber. From the chamber they can feel outside movement and can judge the size of the intruder.

Then they know whether it’s a food item like a cricket to attack or an enemy to hide from.

The web is not sticky but acts as an extended sensory apparatus. When it catches some prey, that prey is pulled down the chute into the living chamber and then the remains are pack-

aged and dropped out the bottom, its back door.

A female spider will make an egg case that she attaches to the living chamber so she can keep guard. Over 100 spiders will hatch and spread out.

Funnel spiders spend the winter hiding in cracks and under rocks. Early in the spring they awaken and spread their webs to sparkle in the sun.

In the U.S., there are over 100 species of these nocturnal arachnids.

None of the U.S. spiders are seriously poisonous but the Australian funnel web spider is deadly. If you visit Sydney, you will see signs warning you about them.

When you see a large, flat but complex spider web, follow where the funnel leads. Look into that tube and you might see the spider. ‫ﵭ‬

DISNEY+: Star

Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker Just in time for Star Wars Day (May the Fourth), the final film in the Skywalker series and the finale of the latest Star Wars trilogy hits Disney+.

The film finishes the story of Rey (Daisy Ridley) and her quest to defeat the fascist First Order which is oppressing the galaxy. Can she and her scrappy band of resistance fighters finally defeat Kylo Ren (Adam Driver)?

One of the more divisive Star Wars films, The Rise of Skywalker is a film you either love or hate. Personally, this reviewer fell into the latter category. With a storyline that was muddled at best, and character turns that seem unearned, this movie was a bit of a disappointment.

Still, with the full Star Wars series on Disney+, now is the perfect time for younger family members to learn the power of The Force by watching all nine films (plus some standalone flicks and a couple of great TV shows).

Fair Sci-Fi * PG-13 * 142 mins.

PRIME: Fast Color Ruth (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) has a unique medical problem: Whenever she has a seizure, it causes an earthquake. It’s always been a lifelong burden, but now, it’s a real problem as men chase her across the country hoping to lock her in a lab to study her.

With nowhere else to go, Ruth returns

to her childhood farm, where she abandoned her daughter with her mother years ago.

As Ruth lies low, she begins to heal the fraught relationship she has with her child. She also begins to see her medical problem as a power.

A slick, underseen sci-fi film, Fast Color is a fascinating movie that’s part superhero origin story and part psychological thriller. Filled with fascinating characters and a great leading performance from Mbatha-Raw, this is the type of indie film that streaming is meant for.

Great Sci-Fi * PG-13 * 100 mins.

the weekend with her fiancé’s children. That changes when her fiancé has to leave and Grace finds herself snowed in with the children. Grace starts to hear and see things that make her fear the cult might be coming back to claim her.

From the demented minds behind Goodnight Mommy (available on Prime), The Lodge is another lockedin horror movie featuring creepy kids and perilous situations. Directors Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz are masters of building tension, so expect a lot of slow pans down dark abandoned hallways.

Good Horror * R * 108 mins.

NETFLIX: All Day and a Night Jahkor (Ashton Sanders) doesn’t want to be anything like his violent gangster father JD (Jeffrey Wright).

Growing up in Oakland, Jahkor wants to be a rapper and escape the despair he grew up around. But getting away from the environment he was raised in takes a toll and soon, Jahkor is in jail with his father. Can Jahkor break the cycle of violence and help his son avoid the mistakes he and his father made?

A meditative drama that examines the cyclical violence that occurs in families and the systemic problems that take options away from families in impoverished communities, All Day and a Night should be a moving experience. Wright is a superb actor and Sanders made a name for himself in the beautiful drama Moonlight, so be ready for moving performance.

Good Drama * R * 121 mins.

HULU: The Lodge Grace (Riley Keough) survived a cult, so she thinks nothing of surviving

KANOPY: Leave No Trace Will (Ben Foster) and his daughter Tom (Thomasin McKenzie) live in a state park, away from the world. Will has terrible PTSD and can’t seem to function in society. But in the woods, he and Tom have crafted a world they can thrive in.

They hunt for food, they have stores of water, and Tom learns from books she keeps in her tent.

But when their camp is discovered and both are forced to rejoin the real world, things get tough. Tom finds she rather likes creature comforts and the company of others. Will, however, can’t seem to adjust.

A fantastic drama featuring outstanding lead performances, Leave No Trace is the perfect character study.

Director Debra Granik (who’s brilliant Winter’s Bone made Jennifer Lawrence a star) crafts the film around Tom, who is stuck between the love of her father and the pull to the real world. It’s a wrenching film filled with quiet tender moments.

Fantastic Drama * PG * 109 mins.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I always hesitate to advise Aries people to slow down, be more deliberate, and pay closer attention to boring details.

The Rams to whom I provide such counsel may be rebelliously annoyed with me—so much so that they move even faster, and with less attention to the details. Nevertheless, I’ll risk offering you this advisory right now. Here’s my reasoning, which I hope will make the prospect more appealing: If you commit to a phase in which you temporarily invoke more prudence, discretion, and watchfulness than usual, it will ultimately reward you with a specific opportunity to make rapid progress.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Is there an area of your life where you would like a do-over? A chance to cancel the past and erase lingering messiness and clear a path for who-knows-what new possibility? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to prepare—not to actually take the leap, but rather make yourself ready for the leap. You will have God and fate and warm fuzzy vibes on your side as you dare to dream and scheme about a fresh start. Any mistakes you committed once upon a time could become irrelevant as you fantasize practically about a future breakthrough.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In 1855, Gemini-born Walt Whitman published his book of poetry Leaves of Grass. A literary critic named Rufus Wilmot Griswold did not approve. In a review, he derided the work that would eventually be regarded as one of America’s literary masterpieces. “It is impossible to imagine how any man’s fancy could have conceived such a mass of stupid filth,” Griswold wrote, adding that Whitman had a “degrading, beastly sensuality” driven by “the vilest imaginings.” Whitman’s crafty Gemini intelligence responded ingeniously to the criticism. In the next edition of Leaves of Grass, the author printed Griswold’s full review. It helped sell even more books! I invite you to consider comparable twists and tricks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In your efforts to develop a vibrant community and foster a vital network of connections, you have an advantage. Your emotionally rich, nurturing spirit instills trust in people. They’re drawn to you because they sense you will treat them with care and sensitivity. On the other hand, these fine attributes of yours may sometimes cause problems. Extra-needy, manipulative folks may interpret your softness as weakness. They might try to exploit your kindness to take advantage of you. So the challenge for you is to be your generous, welcoming self without allowing anyone to violate your boundaries or rip you off. Everything I just said will be helpful to meditate on in the coming weeks, as

you reinvent yourself for the future time when the coronavirus crisis will have lost much of its power to disrupt our lives.

contribute to your maximum health; 3. people and influences that are not in alignment with your highest good.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Now is an excellent time to take inventory of your integrity. You’re likely to get crucial insights if you evaluate the state of your ethics, your authenticity, and your compassion. Is it time to boost your commitment to a noble cause that transcends your narrow self-interest? Are there ways you’ve been less than fully fair and honest in your dealings with people? Is it possible you have sometimes failed to give your best?

I’m not saying that you are guilty of any of those sins. But most of us are indeed guilty of them, at least now and then. And if you are, Leo, now is your special time to check in with yourself—and make any necessary adjustments and corrections.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I predict that you will have more flying dreams than usual in the coming weeks— as well as more dreams in which you’re traveling around the world in the company of rebel angels and dreams in which you’re leading revolutionary uprisings of oppressed people against tyrannical overlords and dreams of enjoying eight-course gourmet feasts with sexy geniuses in the year 2022. You may also, even while not asleep, well up with outlandish fantasies and exotic desires. I don’t regard any of these likelihoods as problematical. In fact, I applaud them and encourage them.

They’re healthy for you! Bonus: All the wild action transpiring in your psyche may prompt you to generate good ideas about fun adventures you could embark on once the coronavirus crisis has ebbed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s time to work your way below the surface level of things, Libra; to dig and dive into the lower reaches where the mysteries are darker and richer; to marshal your courage as you go in quest of the rest of the story. Are you willing to suspend some of your assumptions about the way things work so as to become fully alert for hidden agendas and dormant potentials? Here’s a piece of advice: Your fine analytical intelligence won’t be enough to guide you through this enigmatic terrain. If you hope to get face to face with the core source, you’ll have to call on your deeper intuition and non-rational hunches.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): When was the last time you researched the intricacies of what you don’t like and don’t desire and don’t want to become? Now is a favorable time to take a thorough inventory. You’ll generate good fortune for yourself by naming the following truths: 1. goals and dreams that are distractions from your primary mission; 2. attitudes and approaches that aren’t suitable for your temperament and that don’t

Horseback Riding & Stables

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky believed that the cleverest people are those who regularly call themselves fools. In other words, they feel humble amusement as they acknowledge their failings and ignorance—thereby paving the way for creative growth. They steadily renew their commitment to avoid being know-it-alls, celebrating the curiosity that such blessed innocence enables them to nurture. They give themselves permission to ask dumb questions! Now is a favorable time for you to employ these strategies.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What wonderful improvements and beautiful influences would you love to be basking in by May 1, 2021? What masterpieces would you love to have as key elements of your life by then? I invite you to have fun brainstorming about these possibilities in the next two weeks. If an exciting idea bubbles up into your awareness, formulate a plan that outlines the details you’ll need to put in place so as to bring it to fruition when the time is right. I hereby authorize you to describe yourself with these terms: begetter; originator; maker; designer; founder; producer; framer; generator.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If I asked you to hug and kiss yourself regularly, would you think I was being too cute? If I encouraged you to gaze into a mirror once a day and tell yourself how beautiful and interesting you are, would you say, “That’s too woo-woo for me.” I hope you will respond more favorably than that, Aquarius. In fact, I will be praying for you to ascend to new heights of self-love between now and May 25. I will be rooting for you to be unabashed as you treat yourself with more compassionate tenderness than you have ever dared to before. And I do mean EVER!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the coming weeks, I’d love to see you get excited about refining and upgrading the ways you communicate. I don’t mean to imply that you’re a poor communicator now; it’s just that you’re in a phase when you’re especially empowered to enhance the clarity and candor with which you express yourself. You’ll have an uncanny knack for knowing the right thing to say at the right moment. You’ll generate blessings for yourself as you fine-tune your listening skills. Much of this may have to happen online and over the phone, of course.

But you can still accomplish a lot!

NEWS OF THEc WEIRD

COMPILED BY ANDREWS M MEEL SYNDICATION Police Report Early on the morning of April 15, an unidentified driver smashed his yellow Mustang into a fence in unincorporated Marin County, California, KPIX reported.

California Highway Patrol Officer Andrew Barclay later recounted what followed: The driver tried to back out of the fence, but failed to realize he was in drive and crashed through a home instead. The homeowner came out to investigate and, noting the driver’s impaired state, removed the keys from the Mustang and returned inside to call police. The driver then discovered the keys inside the homeowner’s Toyota and tried to make his getaway, Barclay said, but he shifted the car into drive and barreled through the house once more, coming to rest alongside his Mustang. When the homeowner again tried to take the keys away, the driver allegedly hit him repeatedly, causing major injuries. CHP arrested the driver for suspicion of DUI involving drugs, battery and theft of a vehicle.

Bright Ideas • Many hospital workers are self-isolating to keep their families safe from COVID-19 exposure, but Corpus Christi, Texas, emergency room doctor Jason Barnes, 39, is taking a novel approach: He’s moved into his kids’ treehouse in his backyard. Barnes told the Caller Times on April 20 that he’s lived in the treehouse for about three weeks. If he needs something, he’ll shout down to the kids or call the house. “(T)he Wi-Fi reaches the treehouse, so I have my laptop and my own little command center here,” Barnes said. He uses a camping toilet with disposable bags, and he either showers at the hospital or “my oldest son will rig up a water hose. ... Luckily, my fence is pretty tall.” As for when he can re-enter the house, Barnes said, “We’re always looking at the CDC and Gov. Greg Abbott’s decision, but the final determinator is the wife.”

• The Washington Examiner reported on April 21 that some people appear to be spending their coronavirus stimulus checks on another kind of stimulation.

The adult live model site Cams.com says it has seen a surge in traffic. “Since April 13, we’ve seen a 22% uptick in traffic to our livestreaming site, and tips to our models have increased by 40%,” said Gunner Taylor, director of strategic development for FriendFinder Networks, of which Cams.com is a part. Traffic from Washington state is up 204%, and it’s up 83% in Illinois, but it’s down in Washington, D.C., by 29%.

The Entrepreneurial Spirit At the Peace N Peas Farm in Indian Trail, North Carolina, owners Francie and Mark Dunlap have launched a new career for their 8-year-old mini donkey,

Mambo, and their other horses. For $50, Mambo, Eddie, Zeus or other animals will make a 10-minute guest appearance to liven up your next videoconference, the Charlotte Observer reported. You can even give the four-legged interloper the onscreen name of a regular attendee: For instance, Zeus might become Paul, the guy who asks too many questions. The Dunlaps also arrange for their animals to visit classrooms or happy hours.

Ignorance Was Bliss

Cancer patient Gladys Rodriguez Duarte, 50, was rushed to a clinic in Coronel Oviedo, Paraguay, on April 11, after her blood pressure shot up, according to the Paraguay National Police. Two hours later, Dr. Heriberto Vera declared her dead and shared the news with Duarte’s family, but her daughter, Sandra, later told local media, “He assumed she was dead and ... they disconnected her and passed her off to the funeral home.” The Daily Mail reported that funeral directors told investigators they were shocked to find she was breathing and moving around inside the body bag at the funeral home. Duarte was immediately transferred to another hospital for observation.

Elena Manighetti and Ryan Osborne, formerly of Manchester, England, followed their dream and have been sailing around the world on their boat since 2017. They were en route from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean, where they planned to dock on a small island in mid-March, but were surprised to discover the island’s borders were closed because of a worldwide pandemic. “In February, we’d heard there was a virus in China, but ... we had figured by the time we got to the Caribbean in 25 days it would all be over,” Elena told the BBC. The couple had told friends and family they didn’t want to hear any bad news, but Elena is from the hard-hit Lombardy region of Italy and has since caught up with her family. “It’s a very macabre picture at home, there are no more coffins, no more cemetery space. ... My family is thankfully safe ... but people we’ve known for years have died,” Elena said. The couple was eventually able to dock in Saint Vincent, and they hope to head north before hurricane season starts in June.

“We’re sandwiched between the hurricane season and the virus,” Elena said.

The Continuing Crisis

Numbers Game

Geauga County (Ohio) Sheriff Scott Hildenbrand told WJW his office was called to break up a large party of Amish late on April 18 in Huntsburg Township.

“When we got there, there was a barn full of people and some of them ran,” he said.

One partier was arrested for disorderly conduct, two were charged with underage drinking and another was issued a summons for violating the state’s stay-athome order, according to the sheriff. “We won’t tolerate this,” Hildenbrand said, “and we have to keep everybody safe.”

Amish people are reportedly continuing to gather in large groups, and the county health commissioner has sent a letter to Amish bishops about an increase in COVID-19 cases in that community.

Doriana Fontanella contacted KDVR in Denver to report that she’s been inundated with phone calls recently and she suspects she knows why: Her mobile phone number is just one digit off Colorado’s fax number for the Department of Labor and Employment, where people are trying to send applications for unemployment claims. “There’s a real need out there, and I needed to let people know that I’m not the one they want,” Fontanella told the station’s Problem Solvers team. “I see on the news they’re saying they can’t get any response from unemployment, and I think that’s because they’re not getting the right number.”

Reports of My Death

NOT COVID-19 An unnamed 22-year-old Chinese woman has spent the last 14 years trying to discover the cause of her persistent cough, which started when she suffered a serious fit of coughing as a child, Oddity Central reported on April 22. Over the years, she has been misdiagnosed numerous times, but as she recently prepared for an unrelated surgery, the mystery was solved. Dr. Wang Jiyong at Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine ordered CT scans that revealed a foreign object in her right lung that turned out to be a chicken bone fragment just over half an inch long. Doctors said she had probably inhaled it at 8 years old, when the coughing started.

Inexplicable Ethan Palazzo, 30, of Collingswood, New Jersey, was arrested by police in Old Forge, who found him naked inside a local funeral home on April 11. According to a criminal complaint, Palazzo allegedly broke into the Thomas P. Kearney Funeral Home around 8 p.m., then rummaged through the facility’s chemical closet and left a cold bottle of beer in a display casket. The Citizens’ Voice reported Palazzo smelled of alcohol and declined to give police a motive for his trespassing; he was charged with burglary, criminal trespass and criminal mischief. ‫ﵭ‬ Send your weird news items with subject line WEIRD NEWS to WeirdNewsTips@amuniversal.com.

The Inside Word

by Bill Sells

How many two or more letter words can you make in 2 minutes from the letters in: Delaware The 'First State' of the original 13 colonies was named for Lord Thomas West, Baron De La Warr, the British colonial governor of Virginia. He took over the post from John Smith. At the time, the area of Delaware as we know it was part of the Virginia Colony. West was only here for a year before falling ill and sailing back to England. Before leaving, he was honored by having the Lenape River named after him as well as a large swatch of land belonging to the native Lenape. From England, he oversaw 'The Colonie planted in Virginea' for eight years and wrote a book about it. Wait. River named after him. State named after him. After a year? Made lots of money from home, and wrote a book? I want that gig!

Scoring: Scoring: 31 - 40 = Aloft; 26 - 30 = Ahead; 21 - 25 = Aweigh; 16 - 20 = Amidships; 11 - 15 = Aboard; 05 - 10 = Adrift; 01 - 05 = Aground
