No excuses, just gratitude T his weekend is Mother’s Day, on the same day that it always falls—the second Sunday of May. It is also National Nurses Week from now through May 12, Florence Nightingale’s birthday—on the same date that it always falls.

I think it’s no coincidence that America recognizes nurses and mothers in the same week. After all, we owe our lives to them. Both jobs require painstaking care, compassion, and all-out toughness.

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, both jobs are harder than ever. Many moms of school-aged children became homeschool administrators and teachers in a single day, with no time to prepare. Many nurses were also thrust into roles they weren’t used to, with human lives at stake. There’s been little opportunity to dwell on these changes, and just enough time to adapt.

An oft-quoted line from Florence Nightingale, credited with establishing modern nursing, reads “I attribute my success to this—I never gave or took any excuse.”

In this issue, we talk to local nurses whose jobs have changed drastically in the pandemic—none of whom give any excuse.

This week, as always, we’re grateful for the nurses, the mothers, and the mothers who are nurses (we got to interview a couple of those, too!).

And while we’re expressing our gratitude, Bay Weekly has a few more people to thank. Like many small businesses, we’ve been wading through a disturbingly uncertain financial time. We are proud not to have missed a single week of putting this community paper on newsstands—and online, for readers who couldn’t get to them in person. (Find the digital version at bayweekly.com).

The generosity of some of our contributors has helped us make it happen. At a time when every little bit counts, we’re genuinely moved by Free Will Astrology creator Rob Brezsny, puzzle contributor William Sells, and our Creature Feature columnist Dr. Wayne Bierbaum (who is, himself, on the front lines of the pandemic as Chief Medical Officer at Bay Community Health). Without being asked, all three contributors offered their services to us for free in the scariest weeks of the crisis.

We’d also like to thank Bay Journal News Service, the independent, nonprofit environmental publication which supplies us with in-depth reporting on the health of the Chesapeake Bay (like last week’s cover story on the major hit the Bay crab industry is taking

due to COVID-19 and a shortage of seasonal worker visas. Special thanks to photographer Dave Harp and the Bay Journal for the striking cover image).

Finally, we’re grateful for our readers—those of you who take the time to look for the latest Bay Weekly issue when running your essential errands and those who have adapted to reading us online when it’s better to stay home.

We’ll keep working to offer you relevant Chesapeake news, inspiring stories, and some entertainment when we could also use it. New in this issue you’ll find a fun “How Maryland Are You?” scavenger hunt to do around your house (page 10). And you’ll notice that we’re adding a fun twist to our weekly coloring page (page 18): if you send in your completed page all colored in, there’s a chance we’ll print your masterpiece in a future issue.

Happy Mother’s Day, and thank you, nurses. p — MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM NEWS DIRECTOR

OCEAN CITY TO REOPEN BEACH, BOARDWALK ON SATURDAY cean City, Maryland, the Eastern Shore’s vacation mecca, plans to reopen its beaches, inlets, and boardwalk this Saturday, May 9 as the state remains under a stay-at-home order.

It’s the most significant public space to reopen in Maryland since state and local restrictions began to ramp up to prevent further spread of COVID-19. It may be seen as a promising indicator of further loosening to come, but if you’re ready to toss your beach chairs into the car for a road trip to Ocean City, the governor’s office says not so fast. The new order is intended for locals, says Governor Hogan’s Communications Director, Mike Ricci.

In a joint statement, spokespeople for Governor Larry Hogan and the Town of Ocean City said, “This is a way to give nearby residents more opportunities to get outside and enjoy fresh air, while still adhering to social distancing guidelines and gathering limits. The governor’s stay-at-home order remains in effect.”

Mayor Rick Meehan’s new declaration specifies that “social gatherings (which shall include community, spiritual, religious, recreational, leisure and sports gatherings and events) of more than ten (10) people are prohibited in all locations and venues.”

The Town of Ocean City also stresses that the mayoral declaration does not supersede the governor’s order closing non-essential businesses.

Back on April 28, Mayor Meehan had extended closures of the beach, boardwalk and inlet parking lot until May 15. The April 28 declaration also extended restrictions on short-term rentals in Ocean City until May 22, and that rule has not changed. ‫ﵭ‬

BAY BRIDGE CASHLESS TOLLING TO FINISH EARLY, EZPASS DEADLINE EXTENDED hen the Bay region’s stay-at-home orders are eventually lifted, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge will be ready for that summer traffic.

The conversion to full-time electronic tolling will be finished sooner than expected at the bridge, according to Maryland transportation officials. The cashless, all-electronic system will go live on Tuesday, May 12, weather permitting. That’s ahead of the directive from Governor Larry Hogan to institute cashless tolling by summer 2020.

Temporary, emergency cashless tolling has been in place across Maryland since March 17 to help with social distancing, but crews are now putting finishing touches on the new, permanent system. It includes an overhead tolling gantry across eastbound US 50 between the Bay Bridge and MD 8 (on the Kent Island side, rather than the Anne Arundel County side where the old toll booths were). With all-electronic tolling, drivers don’t stop at toll booths. Instead, tolls are collected through E-ZPass and Video Tolling.

The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) have been urging drivers who had been paying cash to get a free E-ZPass transponder. Those enrolled in E-ZPass will pay less to cross the Bay Bridge than those who pay via

video tolling. Because of the state of emergency, MDTA is giving people more time to sign up for E-ZPass. For the time being, drivers without EZPass will continue to be charged the cash rate of $4. Beginning 30 days after the state of emergency is lifted, bridge drivers without E-ZPass will be charged with video toll rate of $6.

MDTA says cashless tolling will allow traffic at the bridge to keep moving, saving drivers “a combined, estimated 42,000 hours annually” of waiting in traffic. The transportation authority cautions, however, that when COVID19 restrictions are lifted and regular traffic volumes return, congestion is still expected at the bridge and US 50 corridor at peak times like summer weekends.

“Even with all-electronic tolling, the volume of vehicles will still exceed the capacity of the roadway during these busy travel times,” MDTA says.

In addition to the cashless tolling conversion, the state recently completed a major bridge re-decking project a year ahead of its original schedule. ‫ﵭ‬ For more information on enrolling in E-ZPass and the discount plans available, as well as tolling updates in regards to COVID19, visit https://mdta.maryland.gov/covid19-response —MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

BAY BIRD WEBCAM VIEWS TRIPLE DURING QUARANTINE he Chesapeake Bay region loves its birds. The fierce-fishing osprey and the heron, which wades elegantly along the shoreline, are iconic symbols of the Bay. The local webcams that follow three nesting bird families (osprey, peregrine falcon, and heron) have always been popular on the Bay and beyond. There’s never been a better time to experience nature vicariously than now. Chesapeake Conservancy, which runs the cameras with partner organizations, says the number of bird cam viewers is three times higher than last year.

A webcam on the 33rd floor of the Transamerica building in downtown Baltimore, overlooking the Inner Harbor and Patapsco River, allows anyone to get close to a nesting peregrine falcon family. No binoculars are needed.

Barb and Boh—named after former U.S. Senator Barbara Mikulski and Natty Boh (National Bohemian) beer— had three eggs hatch on April 14, much to the delight of webcam viewers.

Kaitlyn Vitez of Washington, D.C. participates in a group chat with friends who have a bird’s eye view of the baby falcons.

“Quarantine has made me a bird watcher now,” she explains.

Even Joel Dunn, the president and CEO of Chesapeake Conservancy, is awed by the falcons and their “little white puff ball babies.”

“The peregrine falcon is the fastest

bird in the world. It flies up to 235 miles per hour,” he tells Bay Bulletin.

Chesapeake Conservancy helps people connect with nature and the Bay through the wildlife webcams it runs with tech partners. Between the peregrine falcons in Baltimore, the ospreys on Kent Island, and the heron rookery (or nesting site) on an Eastern Shore property, a lot of eyes are watching.

“We’re seeing more than three times as much traffic as last year,” Dunn says.

People in several countries including China and Ghana are seeing the eighth season for the osprey camera, all thanks to a partnership between the “Crazy Osprey Family” and Chesapeake Conservancy.

“There was this family on the Eastern Shore on Kent Island, the crazy osprey family…they had some experience in surveillance—I’ll put it that way.

And they were using that experience to survey these birds, the osprey,” Dunn winks.

Their names are Tom and Audrey, and when they returned to the nest from their winter in South America this year, there was drama at the nest.

Some new osprey came in, trying to claim the platform where Tom and Audrey build a home every year.

Viewers were glued to the webcam waiting to see how nature’s power struggle would play out. The original residents won out: Audrey laid three eggs last week, which typically hatch after an incubation period of 39 days.

Cheryl Stewart, a viewer from North Carolina, has been watching for several hours a day as they built their nest: “They intertwine those sticks to where even as strong as the winds are in the Chesapeake, honey, they stay to-

gether! It is just so amazing,” Stewart says.

As for the heron rookery—four great blue heron eggs have already hatched this season.

But the birds streaming live are there for more than just public entertain-

ment. They represent a miraculous story of recovery following environmental changes.

“We can do hard things as a society.

We can ban chemicals that people are using. We can restore habitat. We can preserve or restore the Chesapeake

Bay,” Dunn says.

And we can watch the beauty of nature, even during a stay-at-home order.

As Kaitlyn Vitez from D.C. points out, “It’s making six weeks in quarantine go a little bit faster.” ‫ﵭ‬ —CHERYL COSTELLO

Root Angel Grants Hair Color Wishes and Collects for Local Charity

potted rearing its ugly head in quarantine homes everywhere: the dreaded root grow-out.

Suddenly, blondes are sporting something stranger than a face mask.

A wide line of dark hair—getting wider by the day—at the top of golden strands.

Redheads now have halos of brunette at the crown of their heads. And those who are secretly gray? It’s not a secret anymore.

Desperate salon clients are searching for ways to color their new hair growth while salons and spas remain closed to most.

One Gambrills salon is helping clients color hair safely in their own homes while supporting an Annapolis charity.

The Robert Andrew Collection of Salons and Spas gave away free hair color to the first 300 customers to contact them requesting a root color kit.

There was no charge for the kits, but clients were asked to make a donation to The Light House in Annapolis, a homeless prevention support center.

Clients—those with color info on file at the salon and who had seen their stylist within the last 12 weeks—were able to email the salon for a chance to receive a free root coloring kit.

Each kit contains everything needed for an at-home color fix, as well as instructions.

“We had more than 400 people respond,” says Felicia Francis, director of operations for Robert Andrew.

Winners of one of the coveted kits pulled up curbside at the salon during their designated pick-up time and were greeted by the Root Angel, also known as Brian Washburn, artistic director for the salon.

Have You Thanked a Nurse Lately?

Honoring those who care for us all

Maureen’s patients are down to a trickle as staff in the unit was repurposed to help work in the ER and ICU during the pandemic. “As soon as elective surgeries were halted, everyone shifted to a new job essentially.”

“I love my job and I miss my patients,” says Maureen. “Before the pandemic, I would see these patients before, during and after their treat-

hile the majority of our communities stay safe at home, shielded from the coronavirus, nurses and healthcare workers don masks, shields, gloves and full length personal protective gear and go directly into contact with the virus on a daily basis. If there’s ever been a good time to recognize National Nurses Week and Nurses Month (which it is), it’s now.

In 2020, a nurse’s life looks quite different since the days of Florence Nightingale (who was born 200 years ago, May 12). Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, these frontline workers have shifted into overdrive with courage and compassion under the most challenging circumstances.

Whether it is a national health emergency or routine daily care, nurses’ vital contributions impact the health and well-being of our communities, states The American Nurses Assocation, which also honors student nurses and school nurses this month. With so many nurses working hard in our communities, it’s easy to find one to thank.

Those caring for seniors provide a crucial role, as communities for our elderly are hit hard by COVID-19. Pamela McIntosh currently serves as the Health Services Director at Bright

view South River where she oversees nurses and caregivers.

McIntosh still sees her residents at Brightview every day. For some of them, she is the closest thing they have to family. “Working critical care in a hospital was enjoyable but it got to the point where I never felt that sense of completion, I didn’t know what happened to the patients I saw,” she says.

McIntosh spent part of her nursing career working in neonatal intensive care units and critical care units in the region before transitioning to hospice and long-term care.

“Switching over to working with seniors at an assisted living facility, I have a continuity of care with my patients. I build relationships with them and their families. They are pretty amazing and they are very much our cheerleaders through this,” she says. “I essentially now have 87 grandparents that I care for, very much.”

“We are finding unique ways to help keep our residents safe, healthy and happy,” adds McIntosh. “We are serving happy hour in the hallway in T. Rex costumes and we are teaching them how to FaceTime with their families.

We want this community to have a good quality of life, even in a scary time like this.”

8 • BAY WEEKLY • May 7 - May 14, 2020

McIntosh’s ability to bring comfort in scary times comes as no surprise to those who know her. “I have always been the caretaker in my family. Even my mom tells people that. Ever since I was little, that was my thing.”

Finding a balance remains the challenge for nurses and their families.

“We have the same fears as everyone else does,” says McIntosh. “I don’t want to get sick; I don’t want to get other people sick and I don’t want to bring the virus home. Thankfully my family understands that. My children know that we can’t hang out with friends because I can’t expose myself to anything. People on the outside may not understand that kind of stress. Or they think wearing a mask is silly. I think if they could see it firsthand, people would understand why we have to go above and beyond to protect people.”

Like Mother, Like Daughter Maureen Peters of West River spent 28 years in the emergency room department of Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore. Now she works in interventional radiology, caring for cancer patients.

ments. They were so grateful that the same person was with them throughout the experience and I was also a conduit for their families. My patients are amazing. They have such a fight in them to get through this disease (cancer).”

Maureen’s nursing career was inspired by the nurses who took care of her brother after a bad car accident when she was young. Now, her daughter Caitlin is following in her footsteps.

Caitlin Peters graduated nursing school in May 2019 from Anne Arundel Community College, and by July she was working at Mercy as an emergency department nurse.

“I’ve only been an RN for nine months. When I started a job as a transporter, I noticed the nurses are the ones carrying out the interventions for the patients, and I thought that was really cool,” says Caitlin.

She felt called to work in the ER because of its fast pace. “You are constantly critically thinking and prioritizing your patient’s care. My mom was an ER nurse for 28 years, so naturally I had to show her up.”

But the coronavirus brought with it challenges she couldn’t have imagined nine months ago.

“Everything about this pandemic is the toughest part of my job right now. I don and doff my PPE (personal protective equipment) constantly. Wearing an N95 mask all day can cause a significant amount of fluid loss from the body, leaving you dehydrated and exhausted, especially if you have a critical patient.

It’s a guarantee that you’ll be in that patient’s room in full PPE for hours.”

For Pamela McIntosh as well as Maureen and Caitlin Peters, the distractions of the pandemic haven’t pulled their attention away from their role as caregivers. Nurses remain a valuable, vital lifeline for patients and families.

“Nurses are the ones that are holding up the cell phone to send photos of patients to their families. They are the ones talking to the families who can’t be with their loved ones,” says Maureen.

Both families are looking forward to Mother’s Day, albeit in a different way from years’ past. “We are actually going to just hunker down at home and play with our new puppy,” says McIntosh.

The Peters duo are not alone in the family business of nursing. McIntosh’s daughters are also interested in fast-paced frontline careers.“One wants to be a police officer like her father and the other who turns 18 soon, wants to be a nurse practitioner,” she says.

For the Peters family, Mother’s Day will probably include a phone call and a hello at “the office,” as one starts a shift as the other is leaving. “I go to bed just as she is getting to work,” says Maureen.

Caitlin takes lessons from her mom with her on each emergency room shift. “My mom always told me that the ER can be a harsh environment and can make someone jaded. She reminds me that everyone is someone’s son or daughter and it restores my compassion, no matter the circumstances.” ‫ﵭ‬

GARDENING FOR HEALTH

Carry­Out &

Lessons from the Plant World I t now seems likely that families will be home through the end of the school year. The plant world offers a rich resource of practical lessons that are educational, too. Being outside and exploring the wild plant world can make us feel stronger and less vulnerable in times like these.

It’s important to teach children that the plants around us can be used for various things, which leads to a greater respect for the plant world.

For example, tall, straight Loblolly pines were once used for the masts of tall sailing ships used in commerce.

Another important lesson: while plants can provide us with food there are some that contain poisonous substances. This is something that I stress to my young grandchildren—only certain plants can be eaten. It’s also a good idea to show children botanical field guides and how to use them.

One of my favorite plants in bloom from April to May is wintercress, Barbera vulgaris, which is edible. Its cheery bright yellow flowers radiate sunshine when you see it in farm fields, at the edges of woods or disturbed ground. It has a basal rosette of leaves just prior to bolting with yellow flowers. It is a versatile spring succulent with glossy-looking lobed leaves in the Brassica family, the same family that includes cabbage,

mustard and broccoli. It grows all across the United States in shady places with good soil and reasonable moisture throughout the year.

Wintercress is only about half the height of field mustard which looks very similar and is also edible. Wintercress is high in vitamin C and beta-carotene and contains the phytochemical glucosinolate. Many health benefits are linked to glucosinolate, also found in other members of the broccoli family.

Wintercress has historically been eaten by Greek, Italian, Russian peoples and many Americans in Southern states. It is also known as yellow rocket, bittercress and creasy greens.

The leaves of the first-year plant have a terminal or end lobe that is larger than all the other lobes. The second year, wintercress bolts or flowers when the temperatures reach 50 degrees. It sends up more stems that are ridged along their length. The flowers have four petals in clusters of bright yellow. The leaves are lobed all the way to the midrib of the leaf.

To eat wintercress, gather the leaves and flower tips and cook them in boiling water for about three minutes. Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over them and enjoy.

SPORTING LIFE

Greg Avedon with 38-inch keeper, on the Wild Goose out of Happy Harbor Marina.

BY DENNIS DOYLE

Early Season Rockfish Tactics A t last the rockfish trophy season is upon us. Though the opener was quite lackluster, some anglers venturing forth did catch trophy-sized (35inch) keepers. Trolling of course was the choice of most anglers, as it almost always is this part of the year.

Rockfish are now in spawning mode and are traveling in pods—the big fish migrating in from the Atlantic and the smaller, resident fish that currently reside in the Chesapeake full time. Male rockfish are mature and start to reproduce by two years old, females by four.

Females stripers won’t become fully productive, however, until the age of eight or so. A large migratory female can carry a half million eggs. Most rockfish leave the Bay after spawning for a totally migratory life in the Atlantic by eight years.

The season in the Chesapeake opened two weeks later this year; it is normally set by legislation to open the second weekend of April, but due to a precipitous drop in rockfish population numbers over the last five years, it was delayed to give the fish a longer period of respite in which to spawn.

The males arrive first in early springtime in the tributary headwaters (generally where they were born) and remain in those areas until gravid females stop arriving. The females will travel in their own exclusive groups

and spawn a number of times when the conditions suit them.

Then the older, larger, migratory females will promptly exit the Bay to return to their life along the Atlantic Littoral and the smaller females along with the resident males will form up in larger schools for the coming summer.

Rock fishing is legal only in the main stem of the Chesapeake until June 1, when the tributaries open to angling.

Almost all trophy-sized rockfish are constantly on the move this time of year, preparing to spawn, spawning or returning to the ocean. There are only three techniques that have a reasonable chance of success: trolling, chumming and bait fishing. Of the three, trolling produces the best odds for locating trophy-sized fish.

Traditional Bay trolling uses large baits, including big, 12-inch spoons, large bucktails with trailing soft plastic bodies (usually nine- to 12-inch Sassy Shads) along with multi-colored skirts and streamers. These baits mandate the use of heavy trolling tackle with 30- to 50pound test line and even heavier leaders and sometimes up to 10 to 14 ounces of weight or more to get to the proper depth.

There is, though, an increasing tendency to use light tackle to troll. If you do, be sure you drag baits intended for your tackle. Large baits and large hooks are only effective with heavy duty trolling

gear, only they can sink the large, stout, barbed hooks that go with these baits. A light tackle outfit cannot. Use lures and hooks designed for the tackle.

When chumming, keep in mind you will be targeting deeper-than-usual water, from 30 to 60 feet. Your chum might not be drifting down near the bottom where your baits rest unless you sink your chum bag. Rockfish on the feed are usually near the bottom.

Many chummers sink a bag down deep and another bag off the stern at the surface to also attract fish that are cruising there. It’s a good idea to also chunk (cut up and distribute pieces of fish) while you’re chumming or bait fishing. Stripers are school fish and they tend to feed together, so if one starts to eat, the behavior will spread, thus chunking can start up a bite.

This time of year is not the time to practice thrift when it comes to attracting, holding and encouraging rockfish. Be generous with your chum and baits. ‫ﵭ‬

S AT U R D AY

FISHFINDER: A healthy number of Bay anglers were pleased with the bite during the opening week of trophy season but the general gist was that the better bite was to our south around Deale and east toward the Hill. There were not the usual quantity of boats on the water but the crowd wasn’t missed and motor noise wasn’t the fish chaser it sometimes can be this time of year. Trolling is the best producer and the traditional colors remain white, yellow and chartreuse. Best depth is the first 15 feet but watch your finder, if the fish go deep you must also. After you’ve got your one keeper, head for shallower water and look for some blue cats. They’re good eating, deserve the attention, love a piece of fresh menhaden, run up to 10 and 15 pounds and you can keep as many as you want.

Rockfish season is open, warm weather is upon us and all is right with the world. And remember the precept, “The lord does not subtract from our allotment of days those spent fishing, especially with a child.”

CREATURE FEATURE

STORY AND PHOTO BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

Green Herons Go Fishing any animal species, even birds, are known to use tools. Crows seem to be the best at solving problems using simple tools like sticks. There is however a wading bird, a heron, that has discovered how to fish with lures.

A couple of years ago, while out canoeing, I was able to watch a green heron at work. In a quiet part of the South River, a fallen tree allowed the heron to walk back and forth along the water’s edge. As it slowly stalked minnows, the bird would pick up a stick and drop it into the water from a height of about six inches.

As it hit the water, minnows would rush to the stick as if it contained food and then the heron would strike. The heron repeated the process many times and managed to use the lure successfully.

M

The green heron is the smallest of the local herons, similarly sized to a crow and have just returned from their southern wintering grounds. They live around both salt and fresh water and are very common but shy.

In the late spring, they will nest and have an average of four chicks from greenish eggs. The young will be pampered by their parents until the last part of the summer when they learn to fish on their own and prepare for fall migration.

They are easy to see from kayaks and canoes. As they freeze in place while trying to hide you can quietly get close. I have not been out canoeing yet but I encourage readers to go out and enjoy a quiet paddle—just try not to startle herons on nests. ‫ﵭ‬

THE MOVIEGOER

Leah Lewis and Alexxis Lemire in The Half of It

BY DIANA BEECHENER

Get Date Night Right Need a little romance? The Moviegoer’s got you covered. n a world where many of us have discovered that “work pajamas” are a thing, it may be harder to find a little bit of romance. You have to help the kids do their virtual work, you’re wiped after another day of endless virtual meetings, or maybe you’re just exhausted after you’ve worked an essential service job—no matter what you’re doing, it’s probably time for a date night.

You don’t need a partner to enjoy these movies, all five are romances that will give you a break from the daily doldrums. So order a nice meal, set the lights low, slip into something comfortable (or just slip off your face mask), and take yourself to the movies.

I

NETFLIX: The Half of It Ellie Chu (Leah Lewis) is the only Asian person in her school and she’s basically invisible to her peers unless they need six pages written on Camus theories. It’s a lonely existence, but Ellie tells herself she’ll be happier once she gets to college.

Things begin to change when jock Paul Munsky (Daniel Diemer) hires her to write a love letter to popular girl Aster (Alexxis Lemire). At first hesitant, Ellie finds that she and Aster have a lot in common. As Ellie realizes she might also like Aster, she begins to develop a friendship with the bighearted Paul. Can this love triangle be sorted before someone gets hurt?

A modern retelling of Cyrano, The Half of It is a funny, touching story about the power of love. Writer/Director Alice Wu focuses on how both romantic and platonic love shape us as people. Both Ellie and Paul want Aster, but they find the emotional support they need from each other. This is

a deftly funny film filled with clever turns on all the classic high school love story tropes. Wu carefully draws characters that are both full of flaws and doing their best. This isn’t a movie about “getting the girl” as a reward.

It’s a movie about cherishing all types of love you may find as you grow up.

Great Dramedy * PG-13 * 104 mins.

KANOPY: The Lovers Mary (Debra Winger) and Michael (Tracy Letts) have been little more than roommates for years. Though married, they barely speak, and both are carrying on long-term affairs. Both Mary and Michael assure their lovers that they have plans to leave after their grown son visits.

But their plans take a turn when the couple share a kiss that leads to a passionate encounter. Soon, Mary and Michael can’t get enough of each other, and won’t return their paramour’s calls and texts. Are these two going to work out their marital problems? Or are both just in love with the chase?

Funny, sad, and well-acted The Lovers is one of those wonderful character studies that will give you plenty to talk about. No one is the “bad guy” in this romance, because just about everyone is behaving terribly. Winger and Letts have fantastic chemistry, both their fights and their love scenes crackle with energy. If you’re looking for a wry film that takes a more sardonic view of the classic love story, The Lovers is the perfect film.

Great Dramedy * R * 97 mins.

HULU: Poetic Justice After the murder of her boyfriend, Justice (Janet Jackson) focuses on her career as a hair stylist, writing poetry and refusing to think about dating.

When she needs a ride to an Oakland hair convention, her only option is to hitch a ride with Lucky (Tupac Shakur), a mail carrier who’s been hitting on Justice for months. Though the trip doesn’t start well, a kinship blossoms between the two.

Justice begins to let down her walls and Lucky begins to show his vulnerability. But can this relationship last once the road trip is over?

A romantic drama featuring the poetry of Maya Angelou, Poetic Justice has just about everything one could want in a romance. Written and directed by John Singleton, this film is the rare movie that showed off the director’s tender side. There is a genuinely sweet chemistry between Shakur and Jackson as the two fumble toward love. If you’re in the mood for a bickering couple that fight their way into a lasting connection, Poetic Justice is the film for your date night.

Great Romantic Drama * R * 109 mins.

PRIME: The Handmaiden Con-woman Sook-Hee (Tae-ri Kim) is hired to pose as a handmaiden and help a count seduce a wealthy Japanese heiress, Lady Hideko (Min-hee Kim).

But as Sook-Hee gets to know the frag-

ile Lady Hideko, she begins to fall for her mistress. A forbidden affair begins and Sook-Hee must decide if money is worth betraying her love.

But there’s more to the count’s scheme than a simple seduction and Sook-Hee will have to keep her wits about her to win big.

First thing’s first: Make sure the kids are in bed before you start this movie.

A gorgeous romantic thriller, The Handmaiden is a twisting story of love, lust, and money. Set in 1930s Korea during the Japanese occupation, this is a meticulously detailed film with gorgeous costumes and brilliant performances. Director Chan-wook Park crafts a twisting tale of love, sex, and betrayal that is an absolute must-see for an adult date night.

Great Romantic Thriller * R * 145 mins.

The Princess and The Frog

DISNEY+:

Waitress Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) doesn’t have time for romance as she works endless shifts trying to earn enough money for a restaurant. While catering a party for her rich friend, Tiana sees a frog who asks for a kiss.

She’s disgusted at first, but the frog tells her he’s a cursed prince and if she kisses him, he’ll give her all the money she could use. The kiss does not go well.

Now, Tiana is a frog too, and she and her green prince must find another way out of the mess they’re in.

Disney’s retelling of the classic fairytale, The Princess and the Frog is given new life with a spunky protagonist and a cool jazz soundtrack. This is a wonderful family film that teaches kids the importance of work/family balance in life. Tiana never gives up on her dreams, only realizes that she doesn’t have to achieve them on her own. Watch this movie if you need a break from Trolls 2—trust me, the story and the music are better.

DOCTORS OF OPTOM METRY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): According to Aries author and mythologist Joseph Campbell, “The quest for fire occurred not because anyone knew what the practical uses for fire would be, but because it was fascinating.” He was referring to our early human ancestors, and how they stumbled upon a valuable addition to their culture because they were curious about a powerful phenomenon, not because they knew it would ultimately be so valuable. I invite you to be guided by a similar principle in the coming weeks, Aries. Unforeseen benefits may emerge during your investigation into flows and bursts that captivate your imagination.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The future belongs to those who see possibilities before they become obvious,” says businessperson and entrepreneur John Sculley. You Tauruses aren’t renowned for such foresight. It’s more likely to belong to Aries and Sagittarius people. Your tribe is more likely to specialize in doing the good work that turns others’ bright visions into practical realities.

But this Year of the Coronavirus could be an exception to the general rule. In the past three months as well as in the next six months, many of you Bulls have been and will continue to be catching glimpses of interesting possibilities before they become obvious. Give yourself credit for this knack. Be alert for what it reveals.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): For 148 uninterrupted years, American militias and the American army waged a series of wars against the native peoples who lived on the continent before Europeans came.

There were more than 70 conflicts that lasted from 1776 until 1924. If there is any longterm struggle or strife that even mildly resembles that situation in your own personal life, our Global Healing Crisis is a favorable time to call a truce and cultivate peace.

Start now! It’s a ripe and propitious time to end hostilities that have gone on too long.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Novelist Marcel Proust was a sensitive, dreamy, emotional, self-protective, creative Cancerian. That may explain why he wasn’t a good soldier. During his service in the French army, he was ranked 73rd in a squad of 74. On the other hand, his majestically intricate seven-volume novel In Search of Lost Time is a masterpiece—one of the 20th century’s most influential literary works. In evaluating his success as a human being, should we emphasize his poor military performance and downplay his literary output? Of course not! Likewise, Cancerian, in the coming weeks I’d like to see you devote vigorous energy to appreciating what you do best and no energy at all to worrying about your inadequacies.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Fortune resists half-hearted prayers,”

wrote the poet Ovid more than 2,000 years ago. I will add that Fortune also resists poorly formulated intentions, feeble vows, and sketchy plans—especially now, during an historical turning point when the world is undergoing massive transformations. Luckily, I don’t see those lapses being problems for you in the coming weeks, Leo. According to my analysis, you’re primed to be clear and precise.

Your willpower should be working with lucid grace. You’ll have an enhanced ability to assess your assets and make smart plans for how to use them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Last year the Baltimore Museum of Art announced it would acquire works exclusively from women artists in 2020. A male art critic complained, “That’s unfair to male artists.” Here’s my reply: Among major permanent art collections in the U.S. and Europe, the work of women makes up five percent of the total. So what the Baltimore Museum did is a righteous attempt to rectify the existing excess. It’s a just and fair way to address an unhealthy imbalance. In accordance with current omens and necessities, Virgo, I encourage you to perform a comparable correction in your personal sphere.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the course of my life, I’ve met many sharp thinkers with advanced degrees from fine universities—who are nonetheless stunted in their emotional intelligence. They may quote Shakespeare and discourse on quantum physics and explain the difference between the philosophies of Kant and Hegel, and yet have less skill in understanding the inner workings of human beings or in creating vibrant intimate relationships. Yet most of these folks are not extreme outliers. I’ve found that virtually all of us are smarter in our heads than we are in our hearts. The good news, Libra, is that our current Global Healing Crisis is an excellent time for you to play catch up. Do what poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti suggests: “Make your mind learn its way around the heart.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Aphorist Aaron Haspel writes, “The less you are contradicted, the stupider you become. The more powerful you become, the less you are contradicted.” Let’s discuss how this counsel might be useful to you in the coming weeks.

First of all, I suspect you will be countered and challenged more than usual, which will offer you rich opportunities to become smarter. Secondly, I believe you will become more powerful as long as you don’t try to stop or discourage the influences that contradict you. In other words, you’ll grow your personal authority and influence to the degree that you welcome opinions and perspectives that are not identical to yours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “It’s always too early to quit,” wrote author Norman Vincent Peale. We should put his words into perspective, though. He preached “the power of positive thinking.” He was relentless in his insistence that we can and should transcend discouragement and disappointment. So we should consider the possibility that he was overly enthusiastic in his implication that we should NEVER give up. What do you think, Sagittarius? I’m guessing this will be an important question for you to consider in the coming weeks. It may be time to re-evaluate your previous thoughts on the matter and come up with a fresh perspective. For example, maybe it’s right to give up on one project if it enables you to persevere in another.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The 16-century mystic nun Saint Teresa of Avila was renowned for being overcome with rapture during her spiritual devotions. At times she experienced such profound bliss through her union with God that she levitated off the ground. “Any real ecstasy is a sign you are moving in the right direction,” she wrote. I hope that you will be periodically moving in that direction yourself during the coming weeks, Capricorn.

Although it may seem odd advice to receive during our Global Healing Crisis, I really believe you should make appointments with euphoria, delight, and enchantment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Grammy-winning musician and composer Pharrell Williams has expertise in the creative process. “If someone asks me what inspires me,” he testifies, “I always say, ‘That which is missing.’” According to my understanding of the astrological omens, you would benefit from making that your motto in the coming weeks. Our Global Healing Crisis is a favorable time to discover what’s absent or empty or blank about your life, and then learn all you can from exploring it. I think you’ll be glad to be shown what you didn’t consciously realize was lost, omitted, or lacking.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I am doing my best to not become a museum of myself,” declares poet Natalie Diaz. I think she means that she wants to avoid defining herself entirely by her past. She is exploring tricks that will help her keep from relying so much on her old accomplishments that she neglects to keep growing. Her goal is to be free of her history, not to be weighed down and limited by it. These would be worthy goals for you to work on in the coming weeks, Pisces. What would your first step be?

• A videoconference meeting of the Vallejo, California, planning commission got a little weird on April 20 when commissioner Chris Platzer announced, “I’d like to introduce my cat,” then was seen throwing the cat off-screen. Later Platzer was seen drinking a beer, and after the meeting ended, city staff could still hear him making derogatory remarks about the commission, the Vallejo Times-Herald reported. In an April 25 email to the newspaper, Platzer apologized for his actions and said he has resigned from the commission. “We are all living in uncertain times, and I certainly, like many of you, am adjusting to a new normalcy,” he wrote. Mayor Bob Sampayan said he was bothered by Platzer’s “whole demeanor during the entire meeting.” The commis-

Least Competent Criminal North Carolina State Highway Patrol officers stopped Lance Gordon, 32, on April 24, for speeding in a car belonging to Angela Lee, 47, of Holly Springs, whom Gordon said was an acquaintance. WRAL reported authorities grew suspicious after Holly Springs police were unable to contact Lee to confirm the story, and in a subsequent search of her house and car, investigators found Lee’s body in the car’s trunk. Gordon was charged with Lee’s murder, along with stealing her car.

Desperate Times In Logrono, Spain, an unidentified man pushed the envelope on Spain’s stringent lockdown rules, which make an exception for pet owners, who are allowed to go outside briefly with their pets, according to Gray News. The National Police tweeted a photo on April 24 of the man being arrested for sitting on a city bench holding his pet fish in a fish bowl.

Entrepreneurial Spirit Brian Wood, owner of All American Gator Products in Dania Beach, Florida, is taking face masks to a whole new level by fashioning coverings made with the skin of Burmese pythons. “Some people want to make a fashion statement even during this pandemic, so I want to give them options,” Wood told the Miami Herald on April 19.

Gonzalez had been wanted in connection with a theft in January, when multiple checks were reported stolen from a mailbox in Suwanee, the Associated Press reported. Gonzalez allegedly cashed the checks, used the money to buy more than $3,000 worth of merchandise at Home Depot, then returned the goods for cash.

He was charged with forgery, identity theft and theft by deception.

Eliza Ruth Watson, 37, raises chickens in Gray, Maine, so she’s used to seeing foxes nosing around, but as she worked in her garden on April 23, the fox she spotted didn’t run when she tried to scare it off by hollering and waving her arms.

Instead, the animal lunged toward her, ready to attack. “Thinking back on it now, the fox was a mangy, stanky fox,” Watson told the Sun Journal. She responded by kicking it, but “it kept coming back, and I kept kicking it.” Finally Watson grabbed the fox around the neck, and as it fought back, she shoved it into a large pot used for scalding chickens, sealed the lid and called 911 and her husband. At the hospital, she received five rabies vaccine injections.

“People kept asking, ‘Are you the one who wrestled the fox?’” she said. “It’s certainly not how I expected to spend my day.”

On April 22, Bowling Green, Kentucky, Mayor Bruce Wilkerson was hard at work at a house he has been renovating when he smelled cigarette smoke and “heard a ruckus” outside, so he went to investigate. The former police officer found blood on the cellar door and a bag containing women’s clothing inside, but after determining there were no reports of missing women in the area, he told the Bowling Green Daily News, he went back to his work. Later, the electricity suddenly went out, so he returned to the cellar and this time found a young woman. “She said, ‘I’m hiding from someone,’” Wilkerson told police, then she ran away. Police haven’t identified her, but Wilkerson wanted to set the record straight before “a story would come out that I had a lady locked up in my cellar.”

• ABC News reporter Will Reeve made an internet meme come to life on April 28 when he appeared on “Good Morning America” to report on pharmacies using drones to deliver prescriptions. Looking dapper in a sport coat and open-collared shirt, Reeve no doubt thought his home setup would camouflage the fact that he wasn’t wearing pants, CNN reported.

Twitter had a field day, and Reeve himself tweeted back, “I have ARRIVED ... in the most hilariously mortifying way possible.”
