Learn by Doing in our Chesapeake Communities

“

ell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” -Benjamin Franklin or Chinese philosophers? The internet isn’t sure who actually said it. It’s an oft-misquoted approach to education that rings true no matter its origin. When people feel involved, they’re bound to engage in what they’re learning. At my house, employing this tactic is simple. To teach our pre-kindergartener to spell words, we put a big pile of foam letters on the floor, encouraging him to choose a word and find the correct letters in the pile to spell it. Sure, we wind up spelling a lot of truck words and dinosaur names, but our son feels involved. It requires a little more creativity to draw in teens and adults through learning, and the payoff is even greater. This

issue of Bay Weekly tells the stories of several organizations who are engaging community members to learn in surprising ways. We collected these organizations’ efforts together in one issue quite by accident, but there is a strong common thread. Each one is making Chesapeake country a better place through learning. For teens from at-risk communities, the vibrant Annapolis arts center of Maryland Hall offers programs in every kind of artistic expression imaginable, from painting to choreographed TikTok dances. Disadvantaged young people will also get a chance this fall to learn maritime history by embarking on sailing adventures aboard historically significant boats, thanks to the Annapolis Waterfront and Sail-

ing Center. Getting a lesson on the War of 1812’s clipper ships while you’re helping to sail one of them is just a little more effective than reading the lesson in a textbook. Grownups and kids alike can learn—and discuss—themes of a culturally-rich book that’s been chosen for this year’s One Book One Maryland program. The 2020 selection, detailed on page 6, is made widely available throughout the state’s schools and libraries (even as an e-book!). It’s like one giant book club, minus the wine and gossip, inviting tens of thousands of readers to get involved. The whole family can benefit from a seemingly simple effort to educate visitors at some local parks. Next time you look out at the expansive waterfront vistas and see a lighthouse on

the horizon, you might find a sign in front of you, explaining what it is and the key role it played for mariners. The U.S. Lighthouse Society and Anne Arundel County Parks and Rec are working to make sure folks can learn about those offshore landmarks right as they take in the sight. Each of these programs are designed to engage us and to teach us. Each of them creates a special experience unique to Maryland and our communities. And each one makes me feel hopeful about the positive work being done here. Bay Weekly is happy to share these programs with you. p — MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM NEWS DIRECTOR

ANGLER BREAKS RECORD FOR FISH HE COULDN’T IDENTIFY BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

hen a young Dorchester County man hooked a fish on Tilghman Island over Labor Day weekend, he couldn’t figure out what he’d caught. When he consulted the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR), it turned out to be a record-breaking Florida pompano. David Schrock, 26, was fishing from the shore with multiple rods in the Black Walnut Point area, using “a piece of peeler crab on a traditional Chesapeake two-hook top-bottom rig.” When one rod took off, a friend guessed it might be a large bluefish on the line. After 10 minutes of fighting the fish, he pulled in the mystery catch and couldn’t identify what he’d caught.

Schrock, upon hearing the news that he had a confirmed state record fish, remarked, “Wow … I think I need to play the lottery!” “We had no idea what it was at first,” Schrock says. When Schrock reached out to DNR, Recreational Outreach Coordinator Erik Zlokovitz verified the species as a Florida pompano. The species was just recognized in Maryland records one year ago, when 14-year-old Scott Hartzell Jr. caught a 3.375-pound pompano—also close to Tilghman Island. Shrock’s fish was certified at 5.05 pounds by Wittman Wharf Seafood, making it a new record. It had a fork length (from tip of the snout or jaw to the end of the middle caudal fin rays, or “fork”) of 18.5 inches. Schrock, upon hearing the news that he had a confirmed state record fish, remarked, “Wow … I think I need to play the lottery!” Are you feeling lucky, too? Anyone who thinks they may have a state record catch should fill out a state record application and call 443-569-1381 or 410-260-8325, DNR says. The department suggests fish be immersed in ice water to preserve weight until it can be checked, confirmed, and certified.

HISTORIC BOATS TO VISIT ANNAPOLIS IN OCTOBER, TOURS OFFERED BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

f the cancellation of the Annapolis Boat Shows this fall has you missing the sight of beautiful boats at City Dock, there’s good news. The City of Annapolis has announced two historic boats will visit from October to November, and both will be open for free tours. The Lynx, modeled after a privateer built in Baltimore in 1812; and the When & If, a schooner built for General George Patton that he intended to sail around the world “when the war is over, and if I live through it.” The Annapolis Waterfront & Sailing Center worked to bring the two vessels to town and offer tours. Both vessels will be moored at the docks at the end of Prince George Street, thanks to special access from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. The Lynx will be in Annapolis from Oct. 6 to Nov. 1. The privateer it’s based on was built in Fells Point in

1812, one of the fast, maneuverable sailing ships that were legally allowed to prey upon British Naval ships. The Lynx and the Chasseur, the ship that inspired the local Pride of Baltimore II, were both built by Thomas Kemp, a man whose fascinating history we dig into in the October issue of Chesapeake Bay Magazine. This interpretation of the Lynx was

built in 2001 and sails out of Nantucket as part of an educational program. While it’s in Annapolis, the city’s Recreation and Parks will organize socially-distanced sailing trips for underprivileged youth together with the Waterfront & Sailing Center on both visiting boats. The When & If will be in town from Oct. 15 to Nov. 1. Commissioned by Patton and built in Wiscasset, Maine in 1939, the racing schooner was the general’s post-war dream. When he passed away in 1945 and never got to live out his round-the-world voyage, the sailboat stayed in the family until the 1970s. It was completely restored in 2012 and now cruises the coast for educational programs. Both boats will serve as exciting additions to the waterfront in October. “Annapolis is a sailor’s town,” said Mayor Gavin Buckley. “Our ability to lure these magnificent boats to Annapolis, and make them available for the public to tour, is a connector to our history, but getting our young people out on the water is now also a part of our future.”

US LIGHTHOUSE SOCIETY PUTS NEW SPOTLIGHT ON BAY LANDMARKS

Raising the Road to Reduce Flooding Highway to be closed for months

BY KRISTA PFUNDER

he Fort Carroll Lighthouse on the Patapsco River has been on the Lighthouse Digest “Doomsday List” for 26 years now. And because it’s located offshore, most people just don’t know much about it. To help bring attention to this deteriorating light, the Chesapeake Chapter of the US Lighthouse Society brought a brand new outdoor display placard to a place where they could reach a wide audience: Fort Smallwood

The Anne Arundel County Park staff was nice enough to install the display at no cost to the US Lighthouse Society. Park in Pasadena, Maryland, which overlooks the Fort Carroll Lighthouse. This Anne Arundel County park, with an average annual attendance of over 300,000 visitors, is uniquely situated on a peninsula at the entrance to the Patapsco River. On most days at least five local lights, including Fort Carroll, are visible there. The goal of the Chesapeake Chapter’s efforts to add outdoor displays to key vantage points is simple: to educate peo-

ple on, and raise awareness for, historic lighthouses. Each display gives visitors a timeline of the lighthouse’s history, the oldest-known photo, and interesting facts about it. On-shore lighthouses, like many on the Bay, often have a whole museum devoted to telling their stories. But the offshore ones rarely have any local method to inform people who see the lighthouse from shore the significance of what they’re looking at.

The displays come at a cost of about $1,000. The Anne Arundel County Park staff was nice enough to install the display at no cost to the US Lighthouse Society. A second outdoor display placard was just installed this month at Thomas Point County Park, the spot with the best view of the iconic Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse, where renovations just wrapped up, as Bay Bulletin recently captured on video. Appropriately, the display placard is installed where two previous Thomas Point Lighthouses had stood before the current light was built out on the shoal. There were no unveiling ceremonies for these new educational tools because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but folks embracing socially-distant walks in county parks will see them on full display.

portion of MD 261, also known as Bay Avenue, will be closed for months between Anne Arundel and Calvert counties as MDOT SHA works to improve flooding along the roadway. The two-lane road that serves as a gateway to the Town of North Beach for about 2,000 vehicles daily, MD 261 will be reconstructed at a cost of $6.3 million. The section of road being reconstructed is located between the Bay and an inland wetland. “Over the past three years, we have participated in public forums and submitted questions and any concerns to MDOT, as did our residents,” says North Beach Mayor Mike Benton. “This will help with some of the tidal flooding in that area of our town.” A new, wider elevated bridge, approximately two feet higher than the current roadway, will be built, and culverts and inlets will be replaced to remedy frequent flooding. The state is using the reconstruction as an opportunity to improve more than simply the drainage along the roadway. “This project will improve walkability and access to North Beach,” said MDOT SHA Administrator Tim Smith. ADA-compliant sidewalks will be installed between 8th and 9th Street in See FLOODING on next page

of the park that organizers hope will nurture children’s interests in the natural world. Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum, a state museum of archaeology and home to the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory, is a program of the Maryland Historical Trust that includes 560 acres along the Patuxent River. The new Nature Play Space, located across from the visitor center, helps children master coordination and balance when they hop on tree stumps. A faux tree tunnel is fun for climbing or curling up in a cozy spot for quiet time. The oversized bird’s nest helps foster imagination and becomes a focal point in creative storytelling and other social activities. Three embankment slides provide the thrill of movement and speed. There’s also plenty of open space

for kids to run and explore, plus naturally shaded areas with ample seating. According to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, natural play spaces offer all of the opportunities for creativity that a conventional playground can, while providing an important early connection for children with nature and encouraging future environmental stewards. Natural play spaces also support children’s physical, intellectual, and emotional development. “We’re excited to offer this new space to our youngest visitors,” says Marieka Arskey, JPPM assistant director. “Nature play spaces like this provide a safe opportunity for Maryland’s budding naturalists to run with their imagination while encouraging their curiosity. If you’re looking for something new to do, bring your kids to introduce them to different aspects of nature, explore

the variety of sensory experiences that exist in the wild, and learn to appreciate ecological diversity.” The play space was designed by Mahan Rykiel Landscape Architects and funded through a Capital Grant award from the Department of General Services. “I’m excited that the park is offering a space for kids to engage with natural structures so they can build confidence and interest in exploring nature more broadly,” says Nichole Doub, head conservator at the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory. While visiting the park, be sure to take advantage of the Woodland Indian Village, hiking trails, kayak launch, gift shop and more. The park and grounds are open year-round from 7:30 am until dusk, except for New Year’s Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

water crisis. After much deliberation, the committee selected Lisa See’s The Island of Sea Women for this year’s read, which dovetails with Gov. Larry Hogan’s designation of 2020 as The Year of the Woman in Maryland, and is perhaps a nod to first lady Yumi Hogan’s South Korean birthplace. See is a New York Times bestselling author, born in Paris and raised in Los Angeles. Her books often shed light on the immigrant experience and the intense bonds that develop between women. The Island of Sea Women tells the stories of female divers residing on a remote Korean island, and the bonds and friendships formed by this unique group of women. The book’s plot focuses on two girls from very different backgrounds, as they begin working in the sea with their village’s all-female diving collective. “Mija and Young-sook develop the closest of bonds. Nevertheless, their differences are impossible to ignore. This beautiful, thoughtful novel illuminates a unique and unforgettable culture, one where the women are in charge, engaging in dangerous physical work, and the men take care of the children,” reads the Maryland Humanities description.

Beyond reading this year’s selection, OMOB encourages Marylanders to continue their journey of exploration, whether it be attending a virtual discussion or continuing on the path of discovery with an extensive list of related books, podcasts, movie recommendations, and events like documentary screenings and sea creature origami. Readers can hear from author Lisa See in a series of virtual library tours: https:// www.mdhumanities.org/events/. Over 20,000 Marylanders partake annually in OMOB events. “This year, we find ourselves in a world that looks very different than it has at any time in recent history. It has been a time of terrible loss for so many. What this loss has wrought is a coming together that is burgeoning and brings us hope, as we push towards a brighter future,” writes board chair Cynthia Raposo, with Aaron Heinsman, acting executive director. “Literature encourages us to reflect, brings us joy, pushes us to know ourselves better, and offers a window into the lives of those near and far.” p

magine a giant book club, and the whole state is invited to the discussion. Thirteen years ago, Maryland Humanities launched One Maryland One Book (OMOB), a program that strives to unite diverse communities throughout the state through a shared reading experience. Every year, Maryland Humanities purchases thousands of copies of the selected book for local schools and county libraries. Copies of this book are at the library and you can download a free e-book version via the online catalog, COSMOS. An annual search seeks out a book selection that will coincide with the year’s theme. It is chosen using public insight, as well as guidance from educators and institutions. The OMOB theme for 2020 is Friendship.

ROUBLED TIMES can often lead to great opportunities and that is exactly how Annapolis youth-organization Hood2Good began. In 2017, an Annapolis teenager named Terry Bosley was shot and killed in what po-

lice believe was a targeted attack in broad daylight. Jaime Artero, 20, Bosley’s friend, says the death had a “big impact on Annapolis” because Bosley was well-known by many in the community. After his friend’s death, Artero wanted to create something positive out of the tragedy. So he began a program

in 2018 to curb violence within at-risk communities using a three-prong approach of community service events, community engagement and youth artistic showcases. And Hood2Good was born. “I started the program [for] kids to know that this CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

is not the way to live,” says Artero. “You’ve got kids out here getting their lives taken at a very young age and it’s just sad, it’s really sad.” Hood2Good’s members range in age from 14 to 20. Members and their friends participate in free events and projects designed for community engagement, says program director Kenneth Starkes. “Hood2Good is directly purposed to assist members as well as mentor them and connect them to resources in their particular fields,” says Starkes. And now, amidst the pandemic, Hood2Good is working to reach young people through a partnership with Maryland Hall’s ArtReach program, working to help young artists pursue their goals and support their community. Maryland Hall has placed an emphasis on outreach initiatives for much of its 40-year history. “Our general goal is to use the healing power of the arts to inspire and empower all members of our community,” says Laura Brino,

Maryland Hall’s outreach coordinator. The ArtReach program blended seamlessly with Hood2Good. ArtReach has the strong backbone structure and programming, and Hood2Good has the active members, Brino says. Starkes has worked with Brino over the years and says their programs’ partnership “just made sense.” “I think we will get more attention and our name out there to more creative children and spark creativity in a lot of other children to join the program,” says Hood2Good president Issac Colbert, 19. “It’s a new branch for us that I think will be great.” Hood2Good encourages creative diversity with their artistic youth showcases, where young artists can express themselves through painting, rap, dance, singing, step team, or any other arts. “We do target at-risk kids who live in the projects or [under] dire circumstances, but we also target people who are very creative and have tendencies to do things way different but don’t have the support or the push to make them go further,” says Starkes. “We let them showcase their talents, and Maryland Hall gives them a platform to express themselves.” The partnership with Maryland Hall has helped Hood2Good on even

“Our general goal is to use the healing power of the arts to inspire and empower all members of our community.” —LAURA BRINO, MARYLAND HALL’S OUTREACH COORDINATOR more levels, says Starkes. “Maryland Hall not only provides the space to perform, it provides resources, supplies, it also provides relationships to people in the industry of each individual member,” says Starkes. “[It is] truly a blessing being part of Maryland Hall ArtReach outreach program.” Within the organization’s threeprong system, Hood2Good works directly with communities, asking them what they need and working to service them. “Instead of saying ‘this is a problem,’ we’re saying ‘how can we find a solution?’ That’s the mindset,” Starkes says. For example, Hood2Good’s coat drive has distributed over 800 coats in two years. “We had to give the difference away, another 200–300 coats, to Goodwill because there was no one else to take the coats,” Starkes says. Starkes says that Hood2Good’s biggest hurdle within the pandemic is

not being able to go out into the community. But Brino found a way for them to get involved, by building outdoor classrooms. Maryland Hall has partnered with a number of nonprofits within The Collaborative Supporting Youth in Annapolis and Anne Arundel County to develop outdoor classrooms that will “provide a safe and socially distant space for a variety of engaging programming,” says Brino. The classrooms will be built in about 12 Annapolis communities with the first installed at HACA owned Eastport Terrace/Harbor House, and the second at Robinwood. “The designs are site specific,” says Brino. “They will feature tree stumps that will be painted as seating which will be spaced 6 feet apart, there will be a platform stage or presenting area, along with some mural/public art.” Starkes and Brino are also getting creative in the virtual space. To

“go where the kids are,” they’re using video games and social media to reach them. “Now we’re doing what kids like, we’re doing a dance piece virtually [via TikTok], and then a Madden gaming thing with art based on both of them,” says Starkes. “We’re gaining more traction just doing that.” Brino has been creating ArtReach Challenges videos where she demonstrates art challenges that everyone can do from home with materials lying around. Hood2Good founder Artero says he hopes to take local young people “to places they have never been before.” “We’re trying to help these kids really find their true inner selves and try to find what they’re so interested in so they can chase that dream instead of just thinking negative like ‘I grew up in the hood so I’m gonna stay in the hood,’” says Arteo. “I’m trying to make kids understand that it’s a bigger purpose and meaning of life.” Every kid that comes from the hood can turn for the good, Artero says. “Just don’t give up, you gotta keep pushing and I really do have a strong feeling that [Hood2Good] is going to go somewhere,” he says. And the organizations are counting on these young people to influence

Members of the Annapolis organization Hood2Good embrace a variety of self-expression projects, ranging from on-stage showcases of performing arts to creating art for public spaces. Now partnering with Maryland Hall, the group is working on creating outdoor classrooms as well as virtual meetings using social media to reach and engage their communities. their peers for the better. “I would say one of the most important things that youth can do right now is to become ambassadors for their

own communities,” says Brino. “The more that they speak out on rising up and being elevated and empowered to do good and to succeed in life, the

more they get others to follow them.” Hood2Good is working on a virtual showcase for Sept. 18 and will be broadcast on social media platforms. p

A Bug with Springs

s I walk through my yard, tiny bugs will spring and fly out in front of my steps. If I slowly bend over and look at the grass blades, the tiny green leafhoppers in the shape of an eyeglass case but with big eyes, quickly slip to the backside of the leaves. If I reach down towards one it will spring into the air and then open wings and fly. The spring-loaded leafhopper is one of the most common yard insects. They literally have springs in their legs and are constantly ready to launch. Malcolm Burrows in the Journal of Experimental Biology described in detail the mechanism and their amazing speed. Leafhoppers can jump over 100 times their body length and launch with a G-force of over 700g for a power output of 388mW (milliwatts). When you watch them up close they will disappear as they launch at 0.8msec. When they reach the end of their jump, wings open as they start to extend their escape.

14 • BAY WEEKLY • September 17 - September 24, 2020

These leaping insects come in a variety of color schemes. Most commonly they are green but I see white, black, orange-striped, red-striped, blue and others. There are also ones with oddly shaped heads. They do go through several growing morphology changes and get more colorful with each change. Leafhoppers are not considered beneficial insects. They live by sucking the fluids out of plants and in doing so they can transmit viruses and fungi to plants. Luckily, they can be controlled by beneficial bugs like ladybugs and lacewings. Removing and composting plant material in gardens, especially in the fall, removes the leafhopper eggs and reduces a spring hatch. They also can be controlled by plant soap and vigorous water spraying. They are amazing animals. Just think about it: if a 5-foot human could jump like a leafhopper that would be the equivalent of jumping 500 feet high. p

Hop vine in the garden at Beaver Creek Cottage.

Use for Hops Beyond Beer

umulus lupulus produces chartreuse yellow female fruits called strobiles, best known as the bitter, aromatic ingredient in beer: hops. The end of summer is the time I pick hops from my vine, which I have trained into a shade-providing arch. Hop vines need deeply cultivated, rich, moist soil in full sun. Ancient Greek and Roman physicians recommended hops as a digestive aid and treatment for intestinal ailments. Around 2500 BC, 40 percent of this Sumerian grain crop was used in brewing. In the 9th century, German brewers added hops both for its bitter flavor and because it preserved the fermented barley beverage we now call beer. Hops contain humulone and lupulone which kill the bacteria that cause spoiling. As centuries passed, brewers added herbs, such as marjoram, yarrow and wormwood to flavor their beers. Hops grow wild in England and were often used in folk medicine. The fermented beverage of choice in England was ale, a sweet ancient style of beer

without hops. Around 1500, British brewers started adding hops because of its preservation properties, turning their sweet ales into bitter beers and provoking national outrage. Hops haters called it a wicked weed, so much so that Henry VIII banned the herbs from English brewing. It remained illegal until 1552. Ancient hops farmers noticed their workers would fall asleep while harvesting. Today, hops are known for helping with insomnia and anxiety. In 1983, a sedative chemical was discovered in the plant. For insomnia, use dried and aged hops, 1 to 2 teaspoons per cup of boiling water. Let this steep for 10 to 15 minutes. Make a sleep pillow to aid dreamy slumber by combining equal quantities of dried hop flowers, lavender and chamomile in a 6-inch squares of fabric to tuck into your pillow. Pleasant dreams.

SPORTING LIFE

BY DENNIS DOYLE

Crabbing is Good Family Fun and Fine Dining for All F all crabbing charters are running again and can be a great on-the-Bay opportunity for families and small groups of friends to get ahold of one of the Chesapeake’s most delicious meals. The crabbing charter adventure is generally a trotline operation that can result in up to two bushels of jimmies by noontime and since some operations include onboard or post-cruise cooking, what’s not to love about that? A charter operation involves laying out about a thousand feet or so of a 5/8-inch line suspended between two buoys and baited every 4 to 6 feet with either chicken necks or small bags containing razor clams, both of which are the blue crab’s favorite meals. One of the crabbing participants (and perhaps a backup volunteer or two) will

wield a net at the ready and, while the craft slowly moves down the line and lifts it to the surface, they will artfully capture any crab eating a bait and deposit it in a ready basket. This also provides an opportunity for the rest of the guests to congratulate or comment on the skill of each netter, though this may require some conflict management skills within the group. More often, it is the source of much mutual merriment. The boats usually involved in such affairs are substantial, U.S. Coast Guard inspected and covered for weather. Even in the case of mildly objectionable climate conditions, an outing usually proceeds without problems or discomfort though participants are advised to dress prepared for a day on the Bay. Drinks and snacks are

FISHFINDER: The rockfish bite continues to slowly improve with the cooling temperatures. Larger fish are more common and willing to eat whatever bait or lure is presented. Trolling produces keeper fish and chumming is beginning to turn on well. The live lining bite still results in quality sized fish and will as long as the spot remain in the area, which means not for long. The Spanish mackerel bite is moving steadily south as the weather cools with the best action now centered around the Deale area. Bluefish are still hanging around and the birds are the best indicator of their presence. Perch alone remain the saving species of the Bay as they can usually be counted on to provide action as well as excellent eating.

generally welcome onboard, for grownups and kids alike. The crabs at this time of year are going to be at their most numerous. Feeding up for the coming winter and no longer shedding their exoskeletons, they will also be at their fattest and most tasty selves. And the charters, considering the cost of crab dinners these days, are most economical. The only downside to this activity will be your departure time. Be prepared to rise and assemble by dawn, although each charter operation has its own guidelines and a later departure time can be arranged. Most of the blue crab action, however, will

likely occur in the early hours, though you just never know what Mr. Crab is going to do nor when he’s going to do it. The one thing that is certain is that everyone will have a great time, as crabbing is one of the most celebrated and hallowed activities that occur on the Tidewater. There’s bound to be someone in the party who has never caught a crab before, but everyone should try it once.

I’m Thinking of Ending Things

A musical existential crisis is weirdly emblematic of 2020 AVAIL ABLE ON NETFLIX

young woman (Jessie Buckley: Misbehavior) waits on the corner for her boyfriend Jake (Jesse Plemons: The Irishman) to pick her up, as she waves to his approaching car, she thinks about ending the relationship. Still, she had agreed to go visit Jake’s parents, so she’s stuck for at least one more evening before she can extricate herself from the relationship. As they make their way towards Jake’s childhood home, things seem… off. The situation gets worse when they arrive at the home of Mother (Toni Collette: Dream Horse) and Father (David Thewlis: Barkskins). Dinner is off, conversation is stilted, and did Mother’s hair change mid-sentence? The girl will have to figure out what’s going on if she ever has a hope of going home or ending things. A weird and wonderful movie, I’m Thinking of Ending Things is not going to be a crowd pleaser. Based on the mind-bending book by Iain Reid, this movie is an examination of how pop culture colors our minds and what exactly reality entails. This isn’t so much a film as a tone poem. And that means the narrative is looping and everything operates on dream logic. If you don’t have a solid base of pop culture knowledge (knowing the musical Oklahoma and reviews by legendary critic Pauline Kael would be helpful), I’m Thinking of Ending Things will

seem to be two people having completely absurd conversations for over two hours. Director/screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (Anomalisa) is a master of mind-bending fantasy. The writer behind Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Being John Malkovich, Kaufman is no stranger to oddity. In I’m Thinking of Ending Things, Kaufman is really given room to play. One of the benefits of Netflix is its lack of interference, offering directors money and letting them loose upon the world. The result is a movie that would have never made it past studio test audiences. It’s strange, uncomfortable, and wholly wonderful if you decide to sink beneath the unrelenting waves of weird and let the movie sweep you away. Kaufman doesn’t just layer oddity into the dialogue, the filmmaking itself is meant to unsettle you. There are obvious things—a dog shakes its head over and over, seemingly stuck in a loop—but the more subtle choices really make things uneasy. Pay attention to wardrobe and hair and how it changes mid-scene to evoke a sense of dreamlike uncertainty. There’s even a moment when Kaufman switches actresses, just for a few lines, just long enough to see if viewers are paying attention. This is a movie that rewards atten-

tiveness. Once you understand what’s going on (something I can’t discuss in a spoiler-free review), consider going back for a re-watch to see what you pick up. This is a movie that gets richer the more you view it as there’s no way to catch all the deep references and changing details. With a film that’s so relentlessly abstract, the performances frequently match the subject matter. Collette and Thewlis especially offer cartoonish performances with loud laughs and macabre facial expressions. It’s easy to see why the young woman is so disconcerted in the face of Collette’s aggressive laugh. In contrast, Plemons and Buckley keep their performances natural. Plemons is a grumbling shy man with lots of thoughts but trouble expressing them to anyone beyond the young woman. The young woman is a whirl of contradictions as she neurotically picks her relationship apart. The glaring difference between Jake’s parents and the visiting couple up the tension and sense of disquiet. If you enjoy the impressionistic nature of David Lynch films, consider giving I’m Thinking of Ending Things a try. Trying to detangle the narrative meaning is a fun puzzle that should keep you busy for a couple hours. If, however, you prefer your films linear and your acting straightforward, this movie will be a dizzying exercise in frustration. But I’m Thinking of Ending Things is a wonderful exercise in just how far filmmaking can be pushed while still communicating clearly with viewers. Give it a try and remember to keep your eyes peeled.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZNY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In one of your past lives, maybe you were a Neanderthal midwife in whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now southern France. In another incarnation, you may have been a 17th-century Guarani shaman who shared your knowledge about local plants with an Italian Jesuit missionary in whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now Uruguay. All the powers and aptitudes you perfected in those and other previous ages could prove helpful as you cultivate your genius in the coming weeks. JUST KIDDING! Cancel my previous speculations. For you Aries folks, past achievements are often of secondary importance as you create your future. In fact, your mandate is usually to transcend the old days and old ways. It may be better not to imitate or rely on old stories, no matter how dazzling. This will be especially true in the coming weeks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are no ordinary feelings,â&#x20AC;? says poet Dean Young. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just as there are no ordinary spring days or kicked over cans of paint.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always true, but it will be especially true for you in the coming weeks. I suspect you will be host to a wealth of interesting, unique, and profound feelings. They might be a bit overwhelming at times, but I think they will mostly provide rich opportunities for your soul to grow deeper and stronger and more resilient.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;There should be a science of discontent,â&#x20AC;? said novelist Frank Herbert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles.â&#x20AC;? I partially agree with that observation, but I also think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gratuitous clichĂŠ thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not at all absolute. In fact, our culture is under the spell of a mass delusion that tempts us to believe â&#x20AC;&#x153;no pain, no gainâ&#x20AC;? is the supreme learning principle. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see the development of a robust science of contentment: how fascination and freedom and generosity can build psychic muscles. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a good candidate to study that subject in the coming weeks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian songwriter Mathangi Arulpragasam is better known by her stage name M.I.A. She has accomplished a lot in her 45 years on the planet, having been nominated for three Grammy Awards and an Academy Award. Esquire magazine named her the 75th most influential person of the 21st century. One key to her success is the fact that she formulated a clear master plan many years ago, and has used it to guide her decisions.

In her song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Matangi,â&#x20AC;? she refers to it: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna be me, you need a manifesto / If you ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t got one, you better get one presto.â&#x20AC;? I bring this to your attention, Cancerian, because the coming weeks will be an excellent time to formulate (or re-formulate) your life manifesto and master plan. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not invited to the party, throw your own,â&#x20AC;? declares singer and actress Diahann Carroll. In the coming weeks, I urge you Leos to use that advice as a metaphor in every way you can imagine. For example, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not getting the love you want from a certain someone, give it to yourself. If no one hands you the opportunity you need, hand it to yourself. If you wish people would tell you what you want to hear, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not saying it, tell yourself what you want to hear. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a time when you need to go beyond mere self-sufficiency. Be self-gratifying, self-rewarding, self-acknowledging.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the necessary moment, going naked will be your most convincing disguise,â&#x20AC;? writes poet Dobby Gibson. As I apply his witty statement to your life, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll interpret it metaphorically. My sense is that you could really use the kind of â&#x20AC;&#x153;disguiseâ&#x20AC;? heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talking about. What I mean is that you would benefit by appearing to be different from what people expect of you. You can gain key advantages by shifting the image you present to the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;by expressing a part of your identity that is not usually obvious. And I think the best way to do that is to â&#x20AC;&#x153;go nakedâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;i.e. be candid and transparent and vulnerable about your core truths.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran playwright Wendy Wasserstein wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year I resolve to be a little less the me I know and leave a little room for the me I could be. Every year I make a note not to feel left behind by my friends and family who have managed to change far more than I.â&#x20AC;? I recommend Wassersteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice to you, dear Libra. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to launch this ritual as an annual tradition. For best results, write it out as a vow. I mean take a pen and paper and compose a solemn pledge, then sign it on the bottom to seal your determination.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): â&#x20AC;&#x153;I may not lead the most dramatic life,â&#x20AC;? confesses singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but in my brain itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s War and Peace every day.â&#x20AC;? He was referencing Leo Tolstoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sprawling, exuberant 1,200-page novel War and Peace, which features stories about five families who lived through NapolĂŠonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invasion of Russia in the 19th century. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m guessing that these days your fantasy life may also be filled with epic fairy tales and heroic sagas and tear-jerking myths. Is there a problem with that? Not necessarily. It could be quite entertaining and educational. I do recommend that you

keep your actual life a little calmer and saner, however. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): â&#x20AC;&#x153;I rejoice to live in such a splendidly disturbing time!â&#x20AC;? said author Helen Keller (1880â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1968). She was a smart activist who worked hard on behalf of womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equality, labor rights, antimilitarism, and socialism. Was she being sarcastic in saying she loved being alive during a time of upheaval? Not at all. She derived excitement and vigor from critiquing injustice. Her lust for life soared as she lent her considerable energy to making life on earth more enjoyable for more people. I invite you to consider adopting her attitude in the coming weeks. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good time to experiment with generating the personal power that becomes available by taking practical action in behalf of your high ideals.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You know what perfectionists are: people who obsessively strive to finesse every last detail, polishing and honing so compulsively that they risk sucking all the soul out of the finished product. In contrast to them, I propose that we identify a different class of humans known as imperfectionists. They understand that a ferocious drive for utter purity can make things sterile and ugly. They resolve to cultivate excellence while at the same time they understand that irregularities and eccentricities may infuse their work with beauty. I hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll act like an imperfectionist in the coming weeks, Capricorn.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything good Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever gotten in life, I only got because I gave something else up,â&#x20AC;? writes author Elizabeth Gilbert. To that melodramatic declaration, I say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really? Everything? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe you.â&#x20AC;? And yet I do think she has a point. On some occasions, the most effective strategy for bringing good new influences into our lives is to sacrifice an influence or habit or pattern weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re attached to. And often the thing that needs to be sacrificed is comfortable or consoling or mildly pleasurable. I suspect that the coming weeks will offer you one of these opportunities, Aquarius.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;I and me are always too deeply in conversation,â&#x20AC;? confessed philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. I wonder why he said â&#x20AC;&#x153;too deeplyâ&#x20AC;? and not just â&#x20AC;&#x153;deeply.â&#x20AC;? Did he mean his dialogues with himself distracted him from important matters in the world outside of his imagination? Was he implying that he got so consumed while conducting his self-interviews that he lost his bearings and forgot what his goals were? With these cautions in mind, Pisces, I invite you to dive into an intense but spacious communion with yourself. Make this a delightful and illuminating conference, not a raging debate or a debilitating argument.

The Associated Press reported the drone was caught on Aug. 26 and carried 2 ounces of marijuana, a cell-

The Halloween greeting from young Flossie Burgess was addressed to her cousins: “I just finished my history lesson and am going to bed pretty soon.” A USPS spokesperson said, “In most cases ... old letters and postcards—sometimes purchased at flea markets, antique shops and even online— are re-entered into our system ... (and) as long as there is a deliverable address and postage, the card or letter gets delivered.”

Ewwwww • An unnamed 17-year-old girl in Bokaro, India underwent surgery on Aug. 31 to remove a 15-pound hairball from her stomach following years of obsessive hair-chewing, Metro News reported. A team of doctors led by Dr. G.N. Sahu initially thought the mass was a tumor, but discovered the hairball during the six-hour surgery. The girl was reported to be in stable condition following the procedure. • Doctors at a hospital in Dagestan, Russia, were shocked to discover the source of a woman’s stomach distress was a 4-foot-long snake that had apparently slithered into her mouth as she slept outside her home in Levashi village. In a video of the procedure, a doctor is heard to say, “Let’s see what this is,” Yahoo News Australia reported, as a tube is inserted down the anesthetized woman’s throat. Local residents say such incidents are not unheard of in the mountainous area.

Irony Bounty Cheramy, 22, smelling of alcohol and swaying back and forth, was arrested and charged with drunk driving on Aug. 30 after his Mazda allegedly struck an electronic traffic sign flashing the message, “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,” according to a police affidavit. Officers in Port Charlotte, Florida, said Cheramy told them he had been on his phone and “suddenly struck something” but was unsure what it was. His car sustained heavy front-end damage, and the nearby sign was wrecked, The Smoking Gun reported. The affidavit also noted Cheramy recorded a blood alcohol content twice the legal limit in two breath tests.

• In Botswana, cattle are left to graze and roam during the day, but that makes them vulnerable to attacks by lions, leopards and other carnivores, so two conservation biologists from the University of New South Wales in Australia have come up with an idea to allow both cattle and cats to co-exist, NPR reported. Because big cats hunt using the element of surprise, the biologists came up with a way to make the predators believe they’d been seen by their prey and then abandon the hunt. “We tested this by painting one-third of a cattle herd with artificial eye spots (on their backsides),” explained Cameron Radford, and over four years, “none of the cows that we painted with artificial eye spots were killed by ambush predators.” Village chiefs and native farmers “look forward to us coming back and painting more eyes on bums,” Radford said. • Conducting choir practice indoors was out of the question for Mark Potvin, instructor of music at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, given the school’s COVID-19 protocols, and finding a space outside posed a challenge until, “I was driving past the city pool,” Potvin told KCRG, and “noticed they were draining the pool.” Officials at Decorah Park and Rec gave their blessing, and now choir members rehearse while standing in the empty pool, socially distanced and masked. Luther College has five choirs and one of the nation’s largest collegiate music programs.

Record for the largest collection of Sampuru, the fake food restaurants use to promote their offerings. Sampuru is an important part of Japanese food culture, according to Oddity Central, and after 15 years of collecting, Obata now has more than 8,000 individual items filling an entire room in her house. “Replicas are not real food, but I truly respect how each of them are made to look so real,” Obata said.

Bright Ideas

phone, cigarette lighters, phone chargers and headphones, corrections commissioner Burl Cain said. Investigators were able to trace the drone’s flight and discovered security video showing the men launching it. Cain said officials plan to reprogram the drone and use it at the state’s maximum-security prison in Parchman. • Three teenage girls in Clinton, Connecticut, have been arrested and charged with stealing a duck after photos of them surfaced on social media, according to police. WTNH reported the girls took a duck named Quackers out of a pen in mid-August at the Grove Garden Center Nursery, where it was recovering from a raccoon attack, and posted photos of themselves with Quackers at the town beach and a house party. The girls were charged with larceny and trespassing. Quackers is still missing.

Cynthia Lynn Teeple, 47, of Jacksboro, Tennessee, was charged with public intoxication after Campbell County Sheriff’s deputies found her topless in a LaFollette backyard with two miniature horses on Aug. 30, according to authorities. WLAF reported the homeowner told deputies Teeple had been eating grass and dirt from the horse enclosure, and also chewed on one of the horses’ manes. Teeple then volunteered that “the horse’s hair is made of Laffy Taffy and Airhead candy,” according to the arrest report, and admitted she had taken methamphetamine the day before.

Now, CNN reports, Economy has been granted his dying wish: to be buried in a casket painted to look like a package of Juicy Fruit. After initially having his request for permission turned down, Economy’s friend Sammy Oakey, owner of Oakey’s Funeral Service, received a call from a Mars Wrigley company vice president approving the use of its logo.
