Celebrating Local Businesses When We Need Them Most

hen it comes to business in the pandemic era, here are some phrases we’re getting tired of hearing: “Limited capacity,” “temporarily closed,” “event canceled.” When talking about local businesses in Bay communities, however, there are more positive phrases that come up over and over, like “adapting,” “expanded seating” and “shop from home.” Most notable is the above-andbeyond kindness we’ve seen in the local business community—from company owners, employees and customers. A gym member offers to help other members pay their gym dues; A computer repair company delivers a new printer to an elderly customer on their own time; a cleaning business owner starts a program to get hot restaurant meals to hungry people.

All of these thoughtful gestures have taken place even while businesses scrambled to change their operations and institute new (sometimes costly) health measures. In the depths of Maryland’s stay-athome order, we reported several inspiring stories of local business support. At CBM Bay Weekly, we found one of the strongest pieces of evidence of local support right here in our pages. So many of our advertisers—many of whom are small, local business owners—stuck by us even when their own livelihoods were in question. Bay Weekly is a free newspaper, produced for the benefit of everyone in Annapolis, Anne Arundel and Calvert counties and beyond. Each week our editorial team plans, writes, designs and delivers a paper meant to keep you informed of

Thank you for your article on the challenges some face from the tech end of online schooling (bayweekly. com/internet-access-for-all/). One issue yet not addressed is the emotional and psychological challenges being faced by teens who must remain socially distant as we continue online education. I was dismayed to see that Anne Arundel Public School did not seek to address this sooner. They only sent a survey to parents and teens last week. With less than 2 weeks till school starts, the school must move more quickly to address this growing crisis. Just as adequate nutrition is essential to education, so is the emotional and psychological welfare of a student. The rising rate of school violence and bullying showed that all was not well before COVID. I fear our schools are not ready for this emotional issue either.

COAST GUARD CRACKS DOWN ON MID-ATLANTIC ILLEGAL CHARTERS BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

he U.S. Coast Guard is back on the hunt for illegal charter boat operators in the Bay region this summer. The Coast Guard says it has found and halted the voyages of at least five illegal charters up and down the mid-Atlantic since July. The agency says it’s seeing an increase in illegal charters, those payfor-hire operation where boat owners or someone they hire take passengers on the water without the proper credentials. In some cases, USCG says, they don’t even have proper safety gear or inspections. Illegal charters can be dangerous because passengers often believe they’re hiring a professional mariner for a tour, excursion or fishing trip, but the boat operator may be underprepared to handle an emergency situation. Also, USCG points out, these charter operations can take business away from legitimate charters in the industry. The Coast Guard reminds captains and their potential customers that any boat who take passengers out for hire are required to have proper credential-

ing and licensing. The vessel’s activity, size, and number of passengers determines the inspection requirements of the vessel. Passengers should always ask to see a valid license and ask if the captain is insured before getting underway. In the last year, 10 vessels have been issued Captain of the Port Orders from USCG Sector Maryland National Capital Region. Getting caught can bring serious consequences for charter captains, as “willful and knowing violation of the order” is a felony, punishable by up to six years in prison or fines up to $500,000. “The recent increase of illegal charters in the Maryland National Capital Region is a serious issue. Illegal charters pose a significant hazard to life, property, and the environment,” said Lt. Cmdr. Sonha Gomez, Chief, Investigations Division at Coast Guard Sector Maryland National Capital Region. Anyone with questions about charter boat licensing can call the Coast Guard at 1-888-427-5662 or 1-888-IASKNMC.

PHILLIPS SEAFOOD PRESIDENT’S WATERFRONT HOME LISTED AT $25 MILLION BY STEVE ADAMS

teve Phillips, president and CEO of Phillips Seafood Restaurants and founder of Phillips Foods, and his wife, Maxine, have listed their 23-acre waterfront estate in Annapolis for a cool $24.9 million. The property’s next owners are sure to enjoy its privacy and the 270-degree views of—and access to—the Severn River that first led the Phillipses, who are avid sailors, to buy what was an

abandoned friary on Winchester Road for $2.5 million in 2002. Boaters take note: “What’s incredible about this property is not only the home and the grounds, but the unparalleled level of privacy and water access that it provides,” said Brad Kappel, who along with David DeSantis holds the listing for TTR Sotheby’s International Realty. “With over 1,500 feet of Severn River frontage and a sixslip private deep water pier, this is the perfect location for the boating enthusiast.” Kappel notes that anyone, boater or not, who celebrates the Annapolis waterfront lifestyle, will be impressed

It comprises seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and 11 fireplaces and $32 million worth of unique features that the Phillipses added in a five-and-a-half-year renovation that he describes as “mammoth and complex.” Some of the most eye-catching outdoor features include a restored chapel,

60-foot infinity edge pool, full outdoor kitchen, large teak pavilion in the forest, tennis court, roof garden, and small funicular (a cable rail) running to and from a six-slip private boat dock. Inside, there’s every possible element for entertaining, from a commercial-grade gourmet kitchen, catering kitchen, and wine cellar, to an oversized ballroom, conservatory, library,

music room, paneled billiards room, underground pool and spa. The home’s next inhabitants will have no shortage of discussion topics while hosting and hobnobbing thanks to the property’s “You can’t make this stuff up” history. Said to be a stopping point on the Underground Railroad due to its Severnside location, the property was bought in 1911 by E. Bartlett Hay-

ward, a man who’d made his fortune casting shell casings for French field guns during World War I. Hayward built the mansion with a clear eye for fun, reportedly hosting epic cookoffs and poker games, and perhaps engaging in some bootlegging through the secret tunnel to the water that the Phillipses found shortly after buying the home. Hayward sold it in 1945, and in 1950 the home took on quite a different personality under the ownership of a group of Francisan friars, though they introduced their own elements of fun: a bowling alley under the chapel, a waterside tennis court, and multiple massive outdoor pizza ovens. The property even had a short stint in 1989 as Yokahama Academy, a boarding school for Japanese boys, before community opposition forced it to close. Whatever the future holds for what Kappel calls “one of the finest estates on the East Coast,” he’s confident that it won’t stay on the market long. “Anything is possible with the current record-breaking sellers’ market,” said Kappel. “Many affluent individuals are leaving urban environments and moving to towns like Annapolis to enjoy the waterfront lifestyle, so the local waterfront market is truly on fire right now.” Indeed, in a year in which Barry Levinson sold his waterfront home on Spa Creek and Cal Ripken Jr. moved into his own Annapolis estate on Weems Creek, the only question is: who’s next?

How to Shuck Oysters in Five Easy Steps National shucking pros partner with Oyster Recovery Partnership for at-home lessons BY CHERYL COSTELLO

ll over the Bay, oyster growers have been selling more oysters straight to customers since the COVID-19 pandemic put a dent in restaurant orders. Directly supporting your favorite aquaculturists goes a long way in these challenging times, and it’s a delicious way to help. But once you get those oysters home, can you reliably get that slurpy goodness out of its shut-tight shell—without slicing your hand? Bay Bulletin joined a virtual oyster shucking class with professional shuckers who roam high-end parties nationwide, serving up oysters. The first-of-its-kind mobile raw bar catering company, Oysters XO, teamed up with the Oyster Recovery Partnership (ORP) and local oyster farms for a virtual event last week. For $150, participants got the Oysters XO Starter Kit delivered to their door, including 36 Orchard Point oysters harvested from the Chester River and Eastern Bay, two oyster knives, a Dutch towel (yes, the towel is part of the shucking technique), an oyster bag, and a Zoom class breaking the art of shucking into five steps. Sales of the kit benefit farmers and ORP. Before the virtual shucking event itself, we were able to meet Rifko Meier, owner of Oysters XO, at Sailor Oyster Bar in Annapolis to get the steps on camera for Bay Bulletin. Meier recommends holding a twice-folded towel in your non-dominant hand that is gripping the oyster and, then grabbing the knife with your thumb on top, index finger on the bottom. Put the oyster in the palm of your hands, wrapping your fingers around it.

1. Make a lollipop. (Meier: “Making a lollipop is done by putting the point of the knife into the hinge, pulling your oyster hand toward yourself and pushing it away from yourself. Don’t use too much strength and wiggle it a little bit left and right. You do that until you have a lollipop.”) 2. Crack the hinge. (“And you turn the knife like a key in a lock, left and right because every oyster likes to pop in a different way.”) 3. Cut the top muscle (“After going in, windshield wipe to the right.”) 4. Cut the bottom muscle (“We only have to go in underneath the oyster, so again underneath so we don’t cut the oyster itself. And kind of scoop like ice cream.”) 5. Give it a push from the hinge (“The easiest step of all,” says Meier). One of the students learning Meier’s simple five-step process was Allison Albert Guercio from ORP, who proclaimed it “really easy once you get that knife in there and make the lollipop.” ORP has a vested interest in the industry because the partnership relies on restaurants and oyster eaters to recycle their used shells, which ORP uses to plant new baby oysters. Sailor Oyster Bar is among the restaurants collecting shells for ORP. “After we serve the oysters on the half shell, we save all the shells. So the oyster shucker has a bucket at the end of his station, he puts his shells in it, and then at the end of the night we take them out back. We have big casing bins we put the oysters in,” explains Sailor’s Eleanore Aherne. In all, ORP partners with about 350 restaurants to collect shells for restoration. Meier’s philosophy is that oysters bring everyone together: the grower, the seller, the eater, and the environmentalist. “Every oyster you eat gives you love, life and happiness. Love and life and happiness not just for yourself but for the farmers, for the ocean, for the people around you, and for the people you shuck for.” To watch the demo, visit https://chesapeakebaymagazine.com/ video-how-to-shuck-oysters-at-home-in-5-easy-steps/

Moms Team Up to Feed Neighbors, Community BY JILLIAN AMODIO

eeding the hungry is an ambitious project, but distributing 40,000 pounds of Perdue protein is a good start. Food insecurity is an issue for many families and has been further amplified during the coronavirus pandemic. According to Joanna Warner, director of communications for the Maryland Food Bank, before the pandemic Anne Arundel County had around 189,000 individuals identified as food insecure. The new estimate is about five times higher and the need continues to grow. Across the county, efforts have been made to address the number of families needing assistance, including meals served through the Anne Arundel County Public School system, which has provided nearly two million meals since the start of the pandemic. David Mandell, Deputy Director of the City of Annapolis says demand is high among area families. “We are doing everything we can to meet the needs of our community.” Beyond county-based services, some locals are taking a personal stand against hunger as well. When West Annapolis friends Diana Love and Amy Marshall (both mothers)

learned of the struggles one local family was facing, they decided to take action. “This was a classmate of our children,” Love says. The classmate’s father had died as a result of COVID-19-related complications. The family was self-isolating and unable to provide food for their household. Love and Marshall immediately took the lead, providing food and necessities to the family. But it became clear that this was just one family of many facing hardships. “Many of our neighbors are hardworking people who are on our children’s sports teams, in our children’s classrooms, members of our churches, and our friends.” says Love. They created a pop-up pantry to meet the needs and offer a range of services for families. The West Annapolis Pop Up Pantry recently partnered with Perdue Farms who provided 40,000 pounds of protein as part of their “Delivering Hope to Our Neighbors” hunger relief initiative. Bill See, senior manager at Perdue says, “Food is something that unites us all. And we want to unite each other as a community by providing food security.” “Every day, our neighbors within our communities are relying more on their local food banks and pantries to put a meal on the table,” adds CEO Randy See POP UP on next page

Day. “As a company, we have the resources and a responsibility to help those struggling with food insecurity.” With this donation Love says they will be able to provide for more than 500 families. With a growing network of volunteers, their approach is one of community and friendship. They hand deliver much-needed items including toiletries, fresh produce, shelf-stable items, frozen meats, baby items, school supplies, and even assistance with applying for food stamps. For their work in the community Love and Marshall recently received a citation from the City of Annapolis, recognizing them as COVID Heroes. “I am really big on making sure everyone has access to healthy food. Our COVID-positive families even get a special box with items like Gatorade and Tylenol,” says Love. While providing for a family’s immediate needs is important, what Love and Marshall are striving for is to help set these families up to gain self-sufficiency. “We don’t want Annapolis to be divided between the haves and the have nots” Love says. “We are helping provide for families who currently cannot provide for themselves and gain access to resources for continued success.” To learn more, email: WestAnnapolisPantry@gmail.com.

Know Your Options for 2020 Election BY KATHY KNOTTS

hile there are multiple ways to participate in the 2020 General Election, due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Maryland State Board of Elections encourages all eligible Marylanders to cast mail-in ballots. Anyone registered to vote in Maryland can vote a mail-in ballot (previously referred to as absentee voting). Applications for mail-in ballots have been mailed to eligible voters in all counties. The application includes a postage-paid return envelope, making it easy and free to request a ballot. Some voters who requested a ballot prior to Aug. 6 may still receive a ballot application in the mail. If this applies to you, go online to verify your application has been processed. It is not necessary to send in two ballot requests. Any eligible voter who does not automatically receive a ballot application by mail may request one online or by printing and returning by mail or fax the request form on the State Board of Elections’ website. All requests for a mail-in ballot must be received by Oct. 20. Voters should allow for at least five business days for the Postal Service to deliver the application to the local board of elections. Re-

quests may also be delivered in person to your local elections board office, but be aware that some offices are still closed due to the pandemic. Ballots will begin to arrive by mail in September. They can be mailed back in the prepaid envelope provided or dropped off at a ballot drop off box or your local board of elections. You cannot email or fax your voted mail-in ballot. For those who wish to vote in person, early voting centers will be open and

These may differ from your usual voting sites, as the State Board of Elections will be using 360 voting centers as an alternative to opening the usual 1,600 polling places, due to a

shortage of election judges. These voting centers can be used by any voter in a county. Find your voting center site for Anne Arundel County at www.aacounty. org/boards-and-commissions/board-ofelections/. The Early Voting Center for Calvert County registered voters is located in the lower level conference rooms of the Community Resources Building in Prince Frederick. Early voting runs Oct. 26 through Nov. 2. Each early voting center will be open continuously from 7 am to 8 pm each day. Anyone in line at 8 pm will be allowed to vote. Residents may still register to vote or update address and information by Oct. 13. (https://voterservices.elec tions.maryland.gov/OnlineVoterRegis tration/InstructionsStep1). “It is essential that all eligible Maryland residents have the opportunity to participate in the general election being held Nov. 3,” said Maryland State Board of Elections Administrator Linda Lamone. “For those who have not yet registered to vote, we strongly encourage you to do so. If you have already registered, please take this opportunity to review your voter registration information online and make any necessary updates. This will help ensure you have a seamless voting experience.” For more info visit: voterservices.elections.maryland.gov/ or https://elections.maryland.gov/

FC Urgent Care in Edgewater is accustomed to quickly adapting to the needs of patients, so when the pandemic hit, the walk-in clinic quickly jumped into action, never closing the office. “We began offering COVID-19 testing at the end of March,” says Ginni Morani, marketing director. “Testing is based on an assessment by our physician, which is based on symptoms or exposure to a COVID-positive patient.” The clinic uses three outside labs for testing and results come back anywhere from 48 hours to 7 to 10 business days later, depending on the volume of testing at the labs. AFC continues to offer all of their regular patient services. “We address everything from colds and flus to cuts and sprains and everything in between,” Morani says. “We offer lab services, digital x-ray, travel vaccinations, pre-op physicals,

boaters. “We moved the in-classroom portion of our on-water classes online,” says Captain Mark Talbott. “We now run in-person classes entirely outdoors to reduce close contact between students.” Recognizing that the picturesque historic building the school calls home may not be large enough to support social distancing, the captains quickly adapted. “We found an alternate venue close by that is much larger to allow for even greater social distancing,” Talbott says. “Plus, we’ve been running our classroom courses with reduced attendance to keep everyone safe.” The school’s location in Eastport on Back Creek allows instructors and students to walk right from their door to the dock for on-water instruction. Current class offerings include on-water training for adults and kids — on an ASOS boat or your own boat — as well as Captain’s License classes and Marine Systems courses.

The community has rallied around the fitness center and offered to do their part to keep others healthy. “We had members offering to help other members pay their gym dues,” Gardiner says. “We were so very touched by the generosity of others during this time.” Chesapeake Health and Fitness: 624 E.

Cleaning Maid Easy Adds Peace of Mind

leaning and disinfecting multiple times a day have become necessary habits for those living and working in the time of the pandemic. At Cleaning Maid Easy in Deale, owner Lucia Tucker and her team were ahead of the game as

professional cleaners. As soon as COVID-19 hit, Tucker began creating a plan to ensure the homes and businesses she and her team cleaned were protected. “We have had an endless amount of needed change due to COVID-19,” Tucker says. “Like everyone else, health needs to be put first.”

“We have added germicidal fogging and complete disinfectant wipe-downs to our list of services.” —OWNER LUCIA TUCKER The Cleaning Maid Easy team added more than eight steps of extra care to enter a home safely, such as wearing masks, using germicide and sanitizing highuse items multiple times a day. “We follow all CDC guidelines and carry both CDC-recommended and EPA-approved disinfectant for all homes,” Tucker says. Cleaning Maid Easy continues to offer basic house cleaning, still their most popular service, and has added deep cleaning options. “We have added germicidal fogging and complete disinfectant wipe-downs to our list of services,” Tucker says. “These services are also being provided to businesses after hours and weekends.” Tucker and her team moved beyond cleaning to feeding members of the community in the early months of the pandemic. Operation Open Tab, a movement started by Tucker, used monetary donations made to local restaurants so that any person in need of a hot meal could order a meal to go. Tucker’s efforts earned her a shout-out from Gov. Larry Hogan and country music artists Brothers Osborne, Deale natives, during a program called CMT Celebrates Our Heroes: An Artists of the Year Special. It also netted her a large donation to be used to help Operation Open Tab. “I learned through Operation Open Tab that many want to do wondrous deeds for our communities,” Tucker says.

“We had an elderly client needing a printer for her medical history,” Richardson says. “We tried helping remotely but couldn’t get it to work. We asked her to leave her printer out on her porch for us to pick up. We got it back to the shop and determined that she needed a new printer so we ordered her one and delivered it back to her porch.” The team at D. Miller then worked with the client remotely to get the printer set up in her home so that she could use the printer during her remote health care visits. D. Miller Associates is offering curbside drop-off and pick-up and can help users new to the virtual world navigate it. “We’ve helped businesses set up their office so employees can access computer systems remotely and established enhanced security protocols and network settings to enable people to work safely and efficiently without stepping foot into their office,” Richardson says.

Chef Paul—a sushi chef for more than 27 years—expertly prepares sushi, including his newest specialty: deep-fried sushi. Other options include Park’s many traditional Korean dishes such as bulgogi made with thin, marinated slices of beef or pork grilled on a barbecue. Another popular dish is Japchae, a sweet and savory stir fry dish made with glass noodles and vegetables. Japanese offerings include Park’s homemade avocado dressing and Yum Yum sauce. For diners who prefer to eat outside, the popular sushi spot has long been known for its outdoor seating area: Tables with umbrellas surrounded by vibrant foliage lovingly tended by Park herself.

unkirk Vision in Dunkirk is still providing comprehensive eye exams, lenses and frames and more to patients. “We are open for business with many changes in order to comply with social distancing,” says Dr. Rose Susel Lucente, owner of Dunkirk Vision. The office is using more personal protective equipment and has installed protective barriers. “All patients call us before walking in the front door.

“We are opened for business with many changes in order to comply with social distancing.” —DR.

Reconnect at Harbour Cove Marina

hange abounds during the pandemic, but at Harbour Cove Marina in Deale, with it can come a chance to relax and reconnect. “I see more families spending time together on the water,” says Peter Mueller, marina manager. “They say that during these uncertain times they are glad to bond and have more time with their loved ones.” The marina is a hub of activity for its customers and their guests, but this year things look a little different. “Our clubhouse is open for restroom

But the full-service marina remains open and is happy to help customers get out on the water and enjoy themselves. They offer “in and out service,” lift slips, wet slips, winter storage, detailing, bottom painting and have a fuel dock. The marina is a certified Volvo, Mecruiser and Mercury dealer.

Independent Tree Care for Homeowners and Trees

Pirates Cove Restaurant and Dock Bar Fed First Responders

losed for a full month at the start of the pandemic, and now reopened, Pirates Cove Restaurant and Dock Bar in Galesville were among those businesses who immediately began feeding first responders when they couldn’t serve the general public. “We began a community fundraiser where customers were able to contribute to a special fund to provide first responders with prepared lunches and dinners,” says Anthony Clarke, co-owner of Pirates Cove. “This kept teams working in the kitchen and provided close to 2,000 meals to local hospitals, police and fire departments.”

“We continue to offer great ambiance with the ability for guests to choose the quieter West Deck, the air-conditioned porch room or the more lively dock bar with live music.” —ANTHONY CLARKE, CO-OWNER Pirates Cove took the down time to develop a streamlined menu—still featuring some of their most popular dishes like crab imperial and shrimp salad—and added seating at the dock bar to allow for social distancing. Indoor and outdoor seating are at 50 percent capacity. “We continue to offer great ambiance with the ability for guests to choose the quieter West Deck, the air-conditioned porch room or the more lively dock bar with live music,” Clarke says. “Decks and patios surround three sides of our property with views of the marina and West River. We have also added live music on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.” Online ordering is available — you can even pay online prior to pick up — as well as ordering by phone. Reserved parking spots out front allow you to pick up your orders curbside. If you’re arriving via boat, docking is available for lunch, dinner or even overnight. The dock master can be reached via phone to assist on docking and connecting you to a host to secure seating.

ince he offers services that occur completely outdoors, Independent Tree Care owner Steven Graham has gratefully noticed little change in his industry. “Things are fairly normal for us,” Graham says. “People seem to feel safe using us because we don’t have to go inside their home.” Graham has seen an uptick in the business and suspects it’s due to homeowners spending more time in their yards, noticing more trees that may need attention. “People are seeing the need to inspect trees with the recent storms,” Graham says. “True inspection is critical. Now is a good time to assess the health of your trees. Learn which trees are hazardous and may be diseased.” Graham will make recommendations to help you formulate a plan to address tree-related problems. “Many times, pruning can mitigate problems,” Graham says. “Consider that deciding to just remove a tree can cause a loss of shade; impact soil retention and can even cause psychological distress.” In other words: Loss of that tree may mean you don’t have birds chirping in your yard or a relaxing place to curl up under to read a good book. Graham suggests homeowners look for ways to address problems instead of simply removing the tree. “I caution people to think more about saving their trees,” Graham says. “You’re more apt to get your desired results.” Independent Tree Care’s certified arborists and Maryland-licensed tree experts will assess your yard and create a plan for a safe—yet beautiful—landscape.

The Grahams’ professional clock repair company specializes in antiques of all kinds: Grandfather clocks, as well as wall, mantle, cuckoo and modern clocks. The clock experts make pleasing their customers a top priority. “During this time, we have been working very hard to cut down on wait times on all repairs,” said Graham.

McBride Gallery Celebrates 40th Anniversary and a Successful Show

cBride Art Gallery in Annapolis is celebrating 40 years in business amid the pandemic. “We are offering the same art products and art services, but in new ways,” says owner Cynthia McBride. “When forced to closed down, the new paintings had just arrived for the prestigious National Oil and Acrylic Painters’ Society (NOAPS) show. We pivoted to presenting this show of 150 paintings solely on our website, then decided to film the show and put the video on our website.” The gallery offers art consultation and installation, custom framing, special-order mirrors, cleaning and restoration of paintings and sculpture, art appraisals, portrait commissions (for pets, too), art layaway payment plans and small group tours. McBride and the artists whose work she carries found a way to continue to bring art to the community. “I came to work every day; closed and locked the door,” McBride says. “At first,

to display fine art, family heirlooms, awards, jerseys or any item you want to have a place of pride in your home or business. Schrodel herself has gained a reputation for helping clients select the perfect piece of art for their home or help pick the perfect gift for a loved one. Sadly, one of the founders of Medart, AnnaMaria Radosevic, passed away in August. AnnaMaria, born in Naples, Italy, met and married a young American she met on a beach in Italy and immigrated to the United Sates. Together, she and husband Bill Radosevic began an Italian art import business in 1968, the same year they were married. Naming it Medart, she and Bill travelled the East Coast with children Frank and Teresa — who now run the business — selling original Italian oil paintings. Over the decades, the business grew into the retail gallery and custom picture framing shop Medart is today.

When a call came in to purchase a show painting, it was uplifting and encouraging so I started to call the artists to let them know and rejoice with them.” By the time the third painting had been purchased this way, McBride had come up with another idea. “I called the artists back and asked if they would be willing to share their good news on Facebook and also share a website link to the show to help their fellow artists sell their work,” McBride says. “They loved the idea and more calls came in to purchase show paintings. We sold more paintings for the show while closed than any previous open NOAPS show.” McBride Gallery: 215 Main St., Annapolis; 410-267-7077; www.mcbridegallery.com

Response Senior Care Safely Provides In-Home Assistance

s a business providing in-home services, Response Senior Care in Annapolis realized that the pandemic and having people in your own required them to change how they operate. “Our customers are usually older adults with health concerns and need help with care,” says Gary Franklin, co-owner. “Families are more reluctant to have someone come into their home due to the threat of contracting COVID-19.”

“Families have a dilemma: Someone needs assistance but they also need to make sure their loved ones are safe.” —GARY FRANKLIN, CO-OWNER Response Senior Care provides care services in the home for adults who need assistance with personal care, bathing, dressing, medication reminders, companionship, meal preparation and other services to help them remain in their home—and living independently—as long as possible. Referrals slowed down for a while, but have recently started to slowly pick up. “Families have a dilemma: Someone needs assistance but they also need to make sure their loved ones are safe,” Franklin says. “Finances were also an issue because people weren’t sure of the stability of the economy, especially being unemployed or facing a reduction in work hours. This caused clients to worry that a family couldn’t afford the service.” The company quickly adapted to ensure the health and safety of their clients — and staff. “We’ve instituted wearing masks, face shields, taking temperatures, checking clients and staff for any COVID-19 symptoms daily and we have a heightened awareness of sanitization,” Franklin says.

Tidewater Dental Answers the Call

idewater Dental offices throughout the area are open and providing patients with needed dental care thanks to their caring staff. “Asking our staff to return to work during these times of greater risk was an absolute concern and a challenge,” says Jeff Tomcsik, general manager. “For many of our staff members it involved asking them to come back for less money than they were making on unemployment.”

“We are going beyond CDC guidelines to almost completely reduce aerosols produced by procedures.”

Second Wind Consignments Adds Shop at Home Format

he shelves are full to bursting at Second Wind Consignments in Deale. “ We have seen an increased interest in consignment since reopening,” says owner Teri Wilson. “We have all spent a lot more time at home since March. Redecorating, de-cluttering and deep cleaning have brought a lot of new inventory into the shop.” The consignment shop — which closed its doors in March — had to shift focus to fit a changing world during the pandemic when they reopened in June. Second Wind consigns and sells home furnishings, decorating accessories, housewares, books, costume jewelry, handbags, tools, nautical décor and, sometimes, the kitchen sink.

“During the mandated shutdown of nonessential businesses, we shifted that focus to creating a “shop at home” experience for our customers on our Facebook page.”

—JEFF TOMCSIK, GENERAL MANAGER But the team at Tidewater answered the call. “Every employee, save those with compromised health conditions, immediately responded to our call to action so that they can continue to provide exceptional care.,” Tomcsik says. “This made me feel blessed to have such an amazing team of selfless individuals working for Tidewater Dental. We are one big family.” Tidewater pre-screens patients before appointments; checks temperatures at the door and uses UV sanitizers for personal protective equipment maintenance between appointments. “We are going beyond CDC guidelines and utilizing high-vacuum evacuation devices to almost completely reduce aerosols produced by procedures,” Tomcsik says. “We have hypochlorous acid foggers that kill COVID-19 aerosols on contact that are used between patients for treating the air and surfaces beyond our normal disinfectant procedures.” Tidewater Dental offers preventative care such as dental cleanings, exams, x-rays, sealants; restorative care, such as fillings, crowns and bridges, along, root canal therapy and extractions. They offer orthodontics such as Invisalign, teeth whitening, dental implants, dentures, Botox, veneers and treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Wimsey Cove Welcomes Back Art Lovers

“Our primary focus has always been the sale of consigned inventory at our brick and mortar location.” Wilson says. “During the mandated shutdown of non-essential businesses, we shifted that focus to creating a “shop at home” experience for our customers on our Facebook page.” Wilson and her team created a regular schedule of social media posts. “Customers could make purchases online with curbside or delayed pickup,” Wilson says. “We have continued these posts since reopening and will continue them in the future.” Customers have been appreciative of the adjustments, and the ability to bring in items no longer of use to try to sell. “Our consignors and customers have been very supportive,” Wilson says. “The purchasing of gift certificates to handwritten cards and letters or the daily heartfelt expressions of support and appreciation ‘for still being here’ have kept us going.”

imsey Cove Framing and Fine Art Printing in Annapolis is open and welcoming grateful customers during the pandemic. “One of our clients bought a $500 gift certificate even though he wasn’t looking for art,” says owner Elizabeth Ramirez. “He wanted to help keep cash coming through our business.” Wimsey Cove offers printing, framing, canvases and artwork as well as historical maps. The store has added the option of curbside pick-up and drop-off to its services for customers. The shop also hosts exhibits and artist receptions as part of the Annapolis Arts Alliance. All events are carefully organized to meet guidelines. “We’ve always been clean but we’re taking extra measures to be extra clean,” Ramirez says. “Our store is big so you can be spaced while visiting.” p

SPORTING LIFE

BY DENNIS DOYLE

Rockfish Opening Day Again H allelujah, rockfish are back on the Bay angler’s menu. Our cherished line-sided rascals are available for pursuit once again. The problem of course is, where are they? The closed season in August has made their current locations a bit of a mystery. The proper strategy for chasing them down, as always, will simply be spending some time on the water. Just keep looking. But where to begin? If you go with an early start, the shallows at first light will yield top water fish on surface baits near the mouths of the tributaries and around rocky shoreside jetties and bulkheads. The water will be coolest in the dawn and the fish active and eager to eat as we enter the first phases of the autumn patterns. The bite will not last long in these areas and you won’t have much time to search them out, maybe until 9 a.m. If your surface baits go untouched do not hesitate to switch or alternate skinny water lures such as Rat-L-Traps, Rapala X-Raps or Assassin type jigs. Always be sure to have a Plan B and a Plan C the first few trips; things rarely go as planned. A bag of Fish Bites, artificial bloodworms, should be part of your standard kit so that you can do a bit of fishing for small baitfish. If the shallows hold no rockfish, they may well have a good population

of yearling Norfolk spot, perch or barely legal-sized croaker. A half dozen or so in an aerated bucket or a live well can fuel your next tactical move, live-lining. Also, if you can throw a cast net, there should be some small schools of peanut bunker moving along the shorelines in most areas. Evident by the nervous water they create, a toss or two with the net can produce a dozen or more of these shimmering beauties. They are especially delicate and will expire quickly if not handled carefully and kept in cool, highly oxygenated water. To a rockfish, live peanut bunker are irresistible. Suspended under a small bobber, try any of these baitfish in the nearby shadows under shoreside docks, trees, piers or bulkheads as quietly as possible. You may be astounded at the size of the rockfish

hanging out there. If you’ve not succeeded after the shallow water attempts, head out for deeper waters and the nearest significant structure. Drifting a live spot, small perch or live peanut bunker around lighthouses, the ends of piers and bulkheads or even a navigational apparatus can often hold a lurking lunker, especially in low traffic areas. Use a sinker when you have to, but persevere. Light tackle sports after this point reach for their box of Assassin type, soft plastic jigs. Paddle tails have been especially potent the last couple

FISHFINDER: The rockfish season is open again and the limit remains one fish at 19 inches minimum. Expect to move about more than usual to locate fish or begin your trip by trolling medium to small bucktails until you’ve located fish or good marks. The season was closed Aug 16 to Sep 1 to recreational anglers to help the population recover, after experiencing an alarming drop in numbers. Commercial anglers (some 300 or so) were permitted to continue their harvest of the fish uninterrupted in a somewhat arbitrary decision to insulate their incomes from any unpleasant fluctuation. Spanish mackerel are currently about, so include a rig with a Clark Spoon or a one-ounce Kastmaster and speed up to six or seven knots if you suspect their presence. White perch remain active throughout the Bay though water temps may cause them to move seeking cooler areas. Crabbing is experiencing a definite improvement though it is uncertain how long that will last. Labor Day is here but the sporting season is far from over. Get out on the water now. THURSDAY

of years and throwing to deeper water jetties, around bridge supports, large, anchored ships or even drifting over and deep jigging on suspicious finder marks can produce fish. Chartreuse embedded with sparkly bits is the traditional go-to hot weather soft jig color but an adept sport can score with just about any color presented properly. Finally, for those prepared for the really long haul and who have a bucket of frozen chum and fresh alewives (menhaden/bunker) in a cooler on board, anchoring up off of a tributary mouth or on the edge of a chumming fleet and soaking some cut bait down deep can be an opportunity to relax and still continue the pursuit. And then there is the single, most important rule this time of year, especially after experiencing our recent mandated closure. A skunk is not a sign of incompetence or cause for disappointment nor despair. You have merely eliminated, efficiently, a number of early options, tomorrow is another day. Hope rules. p WEDNESDAY

A Gardener’s Dazzling Friend

ver the past five and a half months, my usual weekly patterns have been disrupted. My day job is having me work longer. In the recent past, before COVID-19, I would take a small trip to a local park or wilderness area and do some hiking and photography. Because of time constraints, the trips are shorter and closer to home. Most of my photography has been in my own yard. I take an early morning walk with a macro lens and take photos of the plants, flowers and bugs. I use a larger lens for birds like hawks, goldfinches and hummingbirds. While searching for bugs, I found a group of sparkling green colored flies. They darted from one leaf to another. Sometimes, for a couple of seconds, they tumbled around fighting. They were quite small, about 8mm, and had very long legs. They are appropriately named longlegged flies and are a helpful insect.

Long-legged fly

The adults eat smaller bugs like aphids and spider mites. The early forms of the insects, called maggots, live near or in the ground. They eat other types of bugs like worms and caterpillars. Long-legged flies are true flies and are very territorial although their territory may be only one leaf. They will stand tall and fight intruders, sometimes in a long-legged rolling fight. There about 7,000 species of the long-legged fly, but all are tiny. The species in Maryland are very common. I find them on plants that are infected with aphids. Recently, my patch of milkweed has been loaded with aphids and these flies were on each plant. We should be careful when trying to eliminate destructive insects. Spraying for pests will also kill the helpful insects such as ladybugs, praying mantis and long-legged flies.

s the summer vegetable season begins to decline, now is the time to note what did well and what didn’t do well in the garden. Fall vegetables can be started now, beginning with garlic, lettuces, carrots, beets and brassicas. If you are gardening to support a sustainable diet, you should consider planting vegetables that can be used as an alternative to meat next spring. Plant-based proteins are considered healthier than traditionally raised beef and better for the environment. Cultured meat, meat mimics, insects, beans and nuts are all being used as alternatives to red meat substitutes. These are all fine new innovations to reduce our carbon footprint. Beans and lentils are a healthy substitute for meat, as they are rich in fiber, iron, potassium and amino acids, as well as protein. Livestock farming accounts for about 15 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions and beans take far less energy to produce and harvest. Peas provide protein and reduce the need for nitrogen fertilizer because they take nitrogen out of the air and store it in their roots. Many traditional cuisines that incorporate vegetarian dishes have stood

the test of time for their nutrition and flavor. Become familiar with Greek, Italian, Turkish, French country, Thai, Asian, Mexican and Indian cuisine. As you become familiar with vegetarian recipes from various countries, plan to try and grow many of these vegetables required. An example of an easy vegetarian recipe from India is stir fried cabbage with red chili peppers, peanuts and peas. Stir fry a chopped cabbage with a little olive oil, 1½ teaspoons of cumin and turmeric powder. Add three red chili peppers or hot pepper paste and cook until the cabbage starts to wilt. Add 2 cups each of toasted peanuts and peas. This is a healthful, crunchy dish full of protein. The turmeric also helps with inflammation. You can plan to plant cabbage and peas now for a fall garden. Cabbage will mature in 60 to 80 days depending on the variety. The cool weather will help to sweeten the flavor of the leaves. Shelling peas will average 60 days to maturity. If the weather gets extremely cold use row covers to protect your plants. p Have a gardening question? Email editor@bayweekly.com

Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter in Bill & Ted Face the Music.

Bill & Ted Face the Music

The goofy duo is back with a midlife crisis that could end life as we know it AVAIL ABLE TO RENT FOR $19.99 VIA AMAZON OR ITUNES

hen we last heard from Bill S. Preston Esq. (Alex Winter: Robot Chicken) and Ted “Theodore” Logan (Keanu Reeves: Toy Story 4), they had fulfilled their destiny of creating music that would inspire a utopian future. Their band Wyld Stallyns had defeated Death (and recruited him to play bass), traveled through time to find love, and played a most excellent tune that united the world and created an awesome future. Only…things didn’t go quite like that. The band had one hit, that didn’t really unite the world. After the band broke up, Bill and Ted floundered. They now play taco nights at a dive bar and are desperately attempting to come up with a song that will save the future. Their wives try to be understanding, but it’s hard to have a successful marriage when both Bill and Ted refuse to do anything without the other. The only people who still truly believe in Bill and Ted are their daughters, Billie (Brigette Lundy-Paine: Atypical) and Thea (Samara Weaving: Hollywood), who are carbon copies of their spacey, goofy dads. The girls believe their fathers’ quest to create the perfect song is most righteous, and spend their days listening to records and supporting their dads. They know it’s just a matter of time before greatness strikes. There’s only one problem: Time itself seems to be folding in on itself. Historical figures are popping in and out of time periods. Jesus replaces Babe Ruth at the plate at Yankee Stadium, Babe Ruth finds himself crossing the Delaware during the American Revolution, and George

Washington is wandering around Jerusalem wondering where his troops went. It’s pretty bogus. The Great Ones call Bill and Ted to the future and give them a reality check: If the boys don’t create the greatest song in the world in 17 hours, space and time will collapse. That’s a lot of pressure to put on two dudes from San Dimas, Calif. The boys decide to go time traveling again to ask their future selves for some help saving the universe. Can Bill and Ted write the ultimate song and save the world? Or is humanity in for a bogus journey? It occurred to this reviewer while watching the movie that there are whole generations of people who only know Keanu Reeves as that guy from The Matrix or John Wick. But back in the dark ages of the late ‘80s, that action movie star had eked out a career playing dopey surfer dude stereotypes in ludicrous comedy movies. If you’ve never seen Reeves play dumb, or never heard of Bill & Ted this is not the film to start your education with. Bill & Ted Face the Music is a comedy designed for people who were alive way back then. It might seem a little odd to people who didn’t grow up saying dude and heinous in regular conversations. Director Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest) does something that Disney has failed to do several times now: He successfully reworks a nostalgic property and captures what audiences loved about the original 30+ years ago, but updates the subject matter for more modern sensibilities. Parisot uses a deft hand to remind viewers of why this wacky series was popular in

the first place. He peppers in plenty of references to the first films as well as some great pop culture jokes. The whole film is breezy fanservice that captures the zany sweetness of the Bill & Ted series while keeping the plot moving. This is not a great film, but it will entertain fans of the first movies, and in 2020, that’s pretty high praise. The best part of a Bill & Ted movie is the undying friendship between the main characters. Their bond is unshakable, even when the universe is ending. It’s endearing to see such a wholesome portrayal of male friendship. While Reeves clearly has fun reviving his surfer bro persona, it’s Winter, who transitioned from acting to documentary directing, who really shines in this revival. Winter’s Bill is a loving airhead who desperately wants to do the right thing. He dives into adventure with excitement, always happy to meet a version of himself on his travels. As he and Ted begin encountering darker and darker versions of their future selves, Bill begins to question how they’re choosing to live their lives. Another boon to the films is William Sadler (God Friended Me) reprising his role as Death. He chews the scenery as a moody, petulant artist who’s mad at the boys after a musical falling out. It’s a clever riff on Bergman’s The Seventh Seal and Sadler makes the most of every scene. Though there are some plot and pacing problems, it’s hard to hold much against a movie that’s so optimistic about humanity. This is a film that deeply believes that humanity is fundamentally good and worth saving. Bill & Ted Face the Music isn’t a groundbreaking comedy, but it is an enjoyable one. Perhaps a film built on the philosophy Be Excellent to Each Other is the type of film we need in 2020. Good Nostalgic Comedy * PG-13 * 91 mins. p

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “A new idea is rarely born like Venus attended by graces. More commonly it’s modeled of baling wire and acne. More commonly it wheezes and tips over.” Those words were written by Aries author Marge Piercy, who has been a fount of good new ideas in the course of her career. I regard her as an expert in generating wheezy, fragile breakthroughs and ultimately turning them into shiny, solid beacons of revelation. Your assignment in the coming weeks, Aries, is to do as Piercy has done so well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Every day I discover even more beautiful things,” said painter Claude Monet. “It is intoxicating me, and I want to paint it all. My head is bursting.” That might seem like an extreme state to many of us. But Monet was a specialist in the art of seeing. He trained himself to be alert for exquisite sights. So his receptivity to the constant flow of loveliness came naturally to him. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I think that in the coming weeks, you could rise closer to a Monet-like level of sensitivity to beauty. Would that be interesting to you? If so, unleash yourself! Make it a priority to look for charm, elegance, grace, delight, and dazzlement.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Author Renata Adler describes a time in her life when she began to notice blue triangles on her feet. She was wracked with fear that they were a symptom of leukemia. But after a period of intense anxiety, she realized one fine day that they had a different cause. She writes: “Whenever I, walking barefoot, put out the garbage on the landing, I held the apartment door open, bending over from the rear. The door would cross a bit over the tops of my feet”—leaving triangular bruises. Upon realizing this very good news, she says, “I took a celebrational nap.” From what I can tell, Gemini, you’re due for a series of celebrational naps—both because of worries that turn out to be unfounded and because you need a concentrated period of recharging your energy reserves.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “I like people who refuse to speak until they are ready to speak,” proclaimed Cancerian author Lillian Hellman. I feel the same way. So often people have nothing interesting or important to say, but say it anyway. I’ve done that myself! The uninteresting and unimportant words I have uttered are too numerous to count. The good news for me and all of my fellow Cancerians is that in the coming weeks we are far more likely than usual to not speak until we are ready to speak. According to my analysis of the astrological potentials, we are poised to express ourselves with clarity, authenticity, and maximum impact.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Of all the mournful impacts the pandemic has had, one of the most devastating is that it has diminished our opportunities to touch and be touched by other

humans. Many of us are starved of the routine, regular contact we had previously taken for granted. I look forward to the time when we can again feel uninhibited about shaking hands, hugging, and patting friends on the arm or shoulder. In the meantime, how can you cope? This issue is extra crucial for you Leos to meditate on right now. Can you massage yourself? Seek extra tactile contact with animals? Hug trees? Figure out how to physically connect with people while wearing hazmat suits, gloves, masks, and face shields? What else?

In the coming weeks, you’ll have a finely tuned intuitive sense of how to proceed with flair. Start by imagining the Most Beautiful You. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Like any art, the creation of self is both natural and seemingly impossible,” says singer-songwriter Holly Near. “It requires training as well as magic.” How are you doing on that score, Virgo? Now is a favorable time to intensify your longterm art project of creating the healthiest, smartest version of yourself. I think it will feel quite natural and not-at-all impossible. In the coming weeks, you’ll have a finely tuned intuitive sense of how to proceed with flair. Start by imagining the Most Beautiful You.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I propose we resurrect the old English word “museful.” First used in the 17th century but then forgotten, it meant “deeply thoughtful; pensive.” In our newly coined use, it refers to a condition wherein a person is abundantly inspired by the presence of the muse. I further suggest that we invoke this term to apply to you Libras in the coming weeks. You potentially have a high likelihood of intense communion with your muses. There’s also a good chance you’ll engage with a new muse or two. What will you do with all of this illumination and stimulation?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Each of us has a “soul’s code”: a metaphorical blueprint of the beautiful person we could become by fulfilling our destiny. If our soul’s code remains largely dormant, it will agitate and disorient us. If, on the other hand, we perfectly actualize our soul’s code, we will feel at home in the world; all our experiences will feel meaningful. The practical fact is that most of us have made some progress in manifesting our soul’s code, but still have a way to go before we fully actualize it. Here’s the good news: You Scorpios are in a phase of your cycle when you could make dramatic advances in this glorious work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Life is the only game in which the object of the game is to learn the rules,” observes Sagittarian author Ashleigh Brilliant. According to my research, you have made excellent progress in this quest during the last few weeks—and will continue your good work in the next six weeks. Give yourself an award! Buy yourself a trophy! You have discovered at least two rules that were previously unknown to you, and you have also ripened your understanding of another rule that had previously been barely comprehensible. Be alert for more breakthroughs.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “If you’re not lost, you’re not much of an explorer,” said rambunctious activist and author John Perry Barlow. Adding to his formulation, I’ll say that if you want to be a successful explorer, it’s crucial to get lost on some occasions. And according to my analysis, now is just such a time for you Capricorns. The new territory you have been brave enough to reconnoiter should be richly unfamiliar. The possibilities you have been daring enough to consider should be provocatively unpredictable. Keep going, my dear! That’s the best way to become un-lost.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Dreams really tell you about yourself more than anything else in this world could ever tell you,” said psychic Sylvia Browne. She was referring to the mysterious stories that unfold in our minds as we sleep. I agree with her assessment of dreams’ power to show us who we really are all the way down to the core of our souls. What Browne didn’t mention, however, is that it takes knowledge and training to become proficient in deciphering dreams’ revelations. Their mode of communication is unique—and unlike every other source of teaching. I bring this up, Aquarius, because the coming months will be a favorable time for you to become more skilled in understanding your dreams.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In June 1876, warriors from three Indian tribes defeated U.S. troops led by General George Custer at the Battle of Little Big Horn in Montana. It was an iconic victory in what was ultimately a losing battle to prevent conquest by the ever-expanding American empire. One of the tribes that fought that day was the Northern Cheyenne. Out of fear of punishment by the U.S. government, its leaders waited 130 years to tell its side of the story about what happened. New evidence emerged then, such as the fact that the only woman warrior in the fight, Buffalo Calf Road Woman, killed Custer himself. I offer this tale as an inspiration for you Pisceans to tell your story about events that you’ve kept silent about for p too long.

Maybe sometimes it’s OK to hide and be secretive and use silence as a superpower. Example from your life? FreeWillAstrology.com

COMPILED BY ANDREWS McMEEL SYNDICATION Good Timing The U.S. Geological Survey recorded a 5.1-magnitude earthquake in Alleghany County, North Carolina, on Sunday, Aug. 9, at 8:07 a.m., about the same time parishioners at St. Gabriel Catholic Church in Charlotte, 100 miles to the south, gathered at Mass and heard this among the morning’s Bible readings: “After the wind there was an earthquake—but the Lord was not in the earthquake.” Father Richard Sutter, pastor at St. Gabriel, later told The Charlotte Observer he didn’t feel the rumble himself, but several worshippers approached him after the outdoor service to share the “God-incidence.” Father Cory Catron, closer to the epicenter near Sparta, also felt the quake and said it made for “good homily material.” As his services ended later that morning, an aftershock rattled his church.

The Mother of Invention As wildfires tore through parts of California on Aug. 19, Chad Little of Vacaville and his family prepared to evacuate, but Little changed his mind and decided to stay, he told KCRA. The family is in the process of rebuilding the home they lost five years ago in an attic fire, and “I can’t let it go,” he said. Little had hoses ready, but when the electricity went out, the water was cut off, so he grabbed a rake to clear away dry grass. As his cars and then his shop began to catch fire, he reached for the only liquid he had—cans of Bud Light, shaking and spraying them at the fire, dousing the flames just before firefighters arrived. “My buddies all tease me about drinking water-beer,” he said. “I say, ‘Hey, it saved my shop.’” He also managed to save his home.

Rude Sonja Lee has been struggling to make rent on her Houston apartment since losing her job in March, and has talked with her landlord about payment arrangements, but on Aug. 17, she received an eviction notice in the form of a piece of paper taped to her door that read, “Guess who’s moving? You!!!” accompanied by a smiley face emoji and a demand to turn in her keys by 6 o’clock that night. “So y’all think it’s funny,” Lee told ABC 13 News. “There was nothing funny about that.” The apartment complex owner said the manager has been disciplined and has apologized.

Questionable Judgment Balladeer James Blunt recently revealed that early in his college years at the University of Bristol, he adopted a completely carnivorous diet in order to prove his manliness, according to Men’s Health. “I just lived on mince, some chicken, maybe with some mayonnaise, and it took me about six to eight weeks to get very, very unhealthy and see a doctor, who said, ‘I think you’ve got the symptoms of scurvy,’” he confessed in a podcast.

In response, Blunt tried to reverse the vitamin C deficiency that causes scurvy by drinking a liter of orange juice every night, which caused him to develop acid reflux. “So as you can see, yeah, food is not necessarily my forte.”

Government in Action Kelly Eroglu in Cwmbran, Wales, was disappointed when her petition to open a coffee shop catering to bicyclists, and including parking spaces for bikes, was turned down by the local planning board because it lacked sufficient parking for cars. “It’s crazy,” Eroglu told The Guardian in mid-August, “because the Welsh government have prioritized (about $450 million) to improve walking and cycling within Wales.” Eroglu is planning to appeal. “No way am I giving up,” she said.

News You Can Use Police in Brockville, Ontario, Canada, say a homeowner ignored a warning from his pet parrot on Aug. 17 because the bird “isn’t always a reliable source of information,” CTV reported. As a thief entered the home through an unlocked door, authorities said, the parrot issued a friendly “hello,” which didn’t alert the homeowner or deter the man from taking a credit card from a wallet. A neighbor photographed the suspect leaving the scene and security cameras later caught a 33-year-old man using the stolen card at a store, said police, who arrested him.

Least Competent Criminals • Herbert McClellan, 27, took advantage of a distracted clerk at a Speedway gas station in Clearwater, Florida, on Aug. 18 to snatch about $100 worth of scratch-off lottery tickets, according to police, who were alerted by store employees a few hours later when McClellan returned to the store to claim the $30 prize offered by one of the tickets. Fox13 reported McClellan was charged with petit theft and dealing in stolen property. • Police in Hollywood, Florida, had little trouble tracking down a trio of thieves who broke into nearly 30 homes, stealing more than $150,000 in cash, weapons, mobile phones, electronics, jewelry, a vehicle and more, because all three were “already on pretrial release for previous crimes and ... wearing court-ordered

GPS ankle bracelet monitors,” Officer Christian Lata said. The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Zion Odain Denvor Hall, 21; Tyrek Davontae Williams, 19; and Tremaine Raekwon Hill, 18, were arrested on Aug. 14 and charged with charged with burglary, grand theft and racketeering. Police believe they’re part of a larger organization committing criminal acts throughout South Florida. Additional charges are to come.

Awesome Competition is stiff this year for the New Zealander of the year award, The Guardian reported on Aug. 19, but one candidate has garnered surprising attention: a Turkish Angora cat named Mittens who roams Wellington and has already received the key to the city. “In this extraordinary year, we know that everyone has a hero,” said Miriama Kamo, the patron of the award, and for many it’s Mittens, who has 50,000 followers on Facebook. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Dr. Ashley Bloomfield, the country’s director-general of health, are also in the running.

Yikes! Workers at the James H. Cole funeral home in Detroit got a start when a body they were about to begin embalming came to life, the Associated Press reported. On Aug. 23, fire department paramedics in suburban Southfield were called to a home where they found 20-year-old Timesha Beauchamp unresponsive. After trying to resuscitate her for a half-hour, they consulted an ER doctor, who “pronounced the patient deceased based upon medical information provided” from the scene, according to the fire department. She was transported to the funeral home where, more than an hour later, she opened her eyes, and staff summoned emergency crews to take her to a hospital, where she was listed in critical condition.

Inexplicable Kirk Mathes of Barre, New York, returned to his farm from out of town to find a large safe on his property with a note attached saying whoever opened the safe could have the contents. Mathes told WHAM the safe has attracted so much attention that local deputies had to shoo away a large crowd trying to break it open with sledgehammers on Aug. 13. For now, he has moved the safe to one of his barns (he estimates it weighs 500 to 600 pounds), but he has no interest in seeing what’s inside. “If you open it, the show is over. In these times ... it might get people a chance to ... have a lot of fun talking about it,” Mathes said. “My personal feeling is, leave it as a mystery.”

minutes from the letters in: Browse (40 words)

The original meaning of browse had nothing to do with looking around a store. It came from the Old French brouz, meaning the twigs, leaves, flowers and nuts animals nibble on instead of their main-course grazing grasses. The varied fare provided additional nutrients to their diet. So, to browse literally means to nibble at, which is why people like my Aunt Linda can shop for hours Scoring: 31 - 40 = Aloft; 26 - 30 = Ahead; 21 - 25 = Aweigh; 16 - 20 = Amidships; 11 - 15 = Aboard; 05 - 10 = Adrift; 01 - 05 = Aground

The CryptoQuip below is a quote in substitution code, where A could equal R, H could equal P, etc. One way to break the code is to look for repeated letters. E, T, A, O, N and I are the most often used letters. A single letter is usually A or I; OF, IS and IT are common 2-letter words; and THE and AND are common 3-letter words. Good luck!
