Old & New Traditions for a Pandemic-Era Autumn

I

n a profoundly strange year during which there are almost no constants, one event is guaranteed to happen, no matter what. It’s the changing of the seasons. The shift from winter to spring happened in the midst of our state shutting down, on the same week schools closed for what we thought would be a two-week deep cleaning. The shift from spring to summer happened as Maryland entered “Recovery Phase 2,” the very beginning of indoor restaurant operations and limited-capacity shopping. This week, summer turned to fall amid expanded indoor dining, the reopening of movie theaters, mask mandates, and no firm plan for a return to in-person school. Half a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, a full return to normalcy is still only a

glimmer in the distant future. Normalcy or not, autumn is here! The pending arrival of bluer skies, cooling temperatures, and color-changing leaves are a welcome bit of consistency in this topsy-turvy time. Goodbye to the draggy late summer, with its humidity and pesky flies and mosquitoes. Hello to crisp, dry air and light jackets in the morning but short sleeves in the afternoon. Of course, we must come to terms with the absence of certain traditions we’ve come to associate with the ushering-in of fall. Time-honored events like the Maryland Renaissance Festival, Navy football tailgates, and the Annapolis Boat Shows are all on hiatus. But that certainly won’t stop Chesapeake country from celebrating the arrival of fall. At my house, the little guys look forward to choosing pump-

Volume XXVIII, Number 39 September 24 - October 1, 2020 bayweekly.com

Three cheers for the Calvert County Board of County Commissioners for, last month, bringing the dream of a permanent recreation and community center in Prince Frederick one step closer to reality. By a unanimous vote, they agreed to start work now, develop a master plan next year, and fund construction in 2023. Before this welcome reversal, the County had put off progress on the Center until at least 2026. This new permanent Harriet Elizabeth Brown Recreation and Community Center would replace the makeshift interim Center, opened in 2016 in the old SMECO building on Dares Beach Road. It will be built on 27 acres on Fairground Road, conveniently across from Calvert High School and next to the Park and Ride lot. This new Center in the geographic middle of the County will be a boon to citizens countywide. It will provide “heart” to a town now characterized by disjointed geography, limited recreational opportunities, few places or institutions that support a strong and cohesive community, and a high percentage of low-income families. It will be a safe and healthy place for creative activities for all ages – from hiking and picnics, to recreation, sports, classes, News Director Meg Walburn Viviano Managing Editor Kathy Knotts Staff Writers Kathy Knotts Krista Pfunder Contributing Writers Diana Beechener Wayne Bierbaum Warren Lee Brown Dennis Doyle Bob Melamud Maria Price Jim Reiter Bill Sells

kins to bring home and decorate. At the farm stand on Sunday, my notquite-5-year-old maneuvered a pumpkin-hauling wagon up and down the aisle, carefully selecting white and orange pumpkins and interestingly-shaped gourds. We paid visits to all the farm’s animal residents, from a loudly honking pair of geese to the draft horses that poked their massive heads out of stalls, hoping for a carrot. Visitors wore masks and the mood was cheerful. Even the farmer was good-humored when my two-year-old slipped behind a building, angling for a ride on the Gator farm vehicle. On the way home, the boys shared local apple cider and warm kettle corn. Pandemic or not, we found plenty of autumn spirit to go around. This issue of Bay Weekly celebrates that spirit with a special guide. We’ve

curated an extensive list of fall experiences that are operating this year with safety measures in place. Some are around the corner; others are a Sunday drive away. We’re also sharing a sample of Chesapeake Bay Magazine’s extensive October boating showcase, designed to help boaters (and prospective buyers) fill the gap left by the Annapolis Boat Shows. As you’ll see inside, there are still ways to compare power and sailboat models in person, beginning this weekend. We’re here to help you welcome a new season! Be sure to send us your best fall enjoyment photos on Facebook or at editor@bayweekly.com. p

meetings, community gatherings, and maybe even a farmers’ market. Like its sister centers across Calvert County (from Chesapeake Beach’s Northeast Community Center to the Southern Community Center in Lusby), the new permanent Center in Prince Frederick will be a community center, not a profit center. It will serve County citizens, be run by the County Parks and Recreation Department, and be primarily funded by our tax dollars, supplemented as possible by outside sources. In 2015, at the recommendation of the Harriet Elizabeth Brown Commemoration Task Force, our County Commissioners voted to name the Center in honor of this Calvert County icon. Other Task Force recommendations, already implemented, were naming a stretch of Maryland Route 2 the Harriet Elizabeth Brown Memorial Parkway and commissioning a portrait for prominent display in the Courthouse. In 1937, Ms. Brown and her 29-year-old NAACP attorney, Thurgood Marshall, successfully challenged Calvert County schools for paying African-American teachers about half of what they paid white teachers. Calvert County did the right thing and settled the case, paving the way for salary equalization across Maryland and the nation. Please join your fellow Calvert Countians to implement the third and final Task Force recommendation – building a permanent rec-

reation and community center in Prince Frederick, including a small museum devoted to the struggle for equal pay for Black teachers. You can help by doing three things. First, speak up! Help develop the Master Plan. What is most needed in a recreation and community center in the County seat? How can this new Center be designed to work for Calvert Countians even in the worst of pandemic times? For example:a focus on outdoor activities, architecture allowing for social distancing, cleaner ventilation/HVAC, safer rest rooms, and more. Second, stay informed! Show up at, or tune in to the December 1, 2020, 10 a.m. County Commissioners’ meeting for an update on progress. Go to Meetings on Demand on the County website: https://www.co.cal. md.us/1501/Meetings-On-Demand. Third, encourage Calvert’s County Commissioners (commiss@ calvertcountymd.gov) to put their money where their mouth is – with $500,000 for planning and development in next year’s budget, followed by construction money in 2023! The need is great and the time is right. A vibrant and permanent recreation and community center will bring new life to Prince Frederick with activities that serve citizens countywide.

GRUELING 240-MILE BAY PADDLE UNDER WAY TO SUPPORT OYSTERS BY CHERYL COSTELLO

I

t would sound crazy if it weren’t true: an Arnold man is making his way down the entire length of the Chesapeake Bay on a standup paddleboard. Since he launched from Havre de Grace last Friday morning, conditions have been at times rough, windy, and borderline hypothermic. Chris Hopkinson wants to accomplish a feat that no one has ever attempted, to raise awareness—and funds—for oyster recovery in the Bay. He’s making his way down the Eastern Shore, paddling about eight hours a day, and expects to complete the trip in nine days. He’s raised $141,000 so far for the Oyster Recovery Partnership, with support from sponsors like Flying Dog Brewery, Old Bay, and Perdue Farms. CBM is proud to serve as media sponsor for Hopkinson’s incredible effort, and we got to see him off on his journey. With hugs and kisses from his wife and three children on the dock, Hopkinson marked the start of his 240-mile effort at Concord Lighthouse in Havre de Grace. After two years of planning and hard training, Hopkinson was anxious to get

started. “Physically, I feel great. Right now, it’s just let’s get on the water and get this thing going,” he told us moments before launching. The forecast for his journey wasn’t the best. With several days of wind predicted, Hopkinson opted to hug the Eastern Shore to get a tad more protection. The paddler’s daily course took him from Havre de Grace to Rock Hall, then Rock Hall to Claiborne, then Claiborne to Tilghman Island (a “short” 10-mile day, so that Hopkinson could rest to gear up for the lower Eastern Shore and Virginia legs.) He’ll finish in Virginia Beach this weekend, if all goes well. He eats his meals on the paddleboard but gets off the water each night for a good night’s sleep. You can track him in real time through Saturday at www.baypaddle.org. The physically grueling course would be daunting to most people, but Hopkin-

son tells us he’s focused on the greater goal. “I’m not really doing it to paddle the Bay. I’m doing it to bring more awareness to oysters, and bring more oysters to the Bay. So, paddling the Bay—that is not really the goal. Saving the Bay, protecting the Bay, making people more aware of oysters…that’s the goal.” Hopkinson’s inspiration is his daughter Olivia and her middle school science project. She wanted to see if an oyster really can filter water. Hopkinson showed us “before and after” photos of the experiment. The difference in water clarity was striking after the oysters were in the water for just three hours. “It was insane, the oysters were filtering it so fast!” Olivia Hopkinson tells us. “We did the project and got an A+, not to brag or anything.” Hopkinson set a $200,000 fundraising goal for his paddle to help the Oyster Recovery Partnership. Just $10 plants

1,000 oysters in the Bay. “I’m going to paddle eight hours a day hoping that more people donate $10 and we hit the $200,000 goal.” Just as Hopkinson’s paddle will touch the full length of the Bay, so will the oyster recovery efforts. Ward Slacum, executive director of the Oyster Recovery Partnership, says, “This is really the first campaign where ORP will be able to use funds to not only build reefs in Maryland, but also in Virginia. So, we brought partners on from Virginia. We’re going to distribute the funds down in Virginia and those funds will go directly to putting oysters in the water.” Hopkinson is pushing every day to reach his $200,000 goal. To donate, visit baypaddle.org or text BAYPADDLE to 44-321. Each donation enters you into a raffle to win a custom wrapped paddleboard from title sponsor Flying Dog Brewery and other prizes.

BAY BULLETIN EAGLE SCOUT RESCUES UNCONSCIOUS BOATER FROM KENT ISLAND WATERS BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

Kent Island Eagle Scout is credited with saving a boater’s life at a local marina over Labor Day weekend, when the man fell unconscious from his boat into the water and became tangled in dock lines. On the morning of Sunday, Sept. 6, a boater at Kentmorr Marina was cleaning the deck of his boat when he slipped, hit his head, and fell into the water. Bystanders yelled for help, and that’s when Eagle Scout and Kentmorr employee Brice O’Malley rushed over. He

“We encourage the public to step up in a time of need and this individual absolutely assisted in saving this man’s life.” —QUEEN ANNE’S COUNTY EMS ASSISTANT CHIEF SCOTT WHEATLEY helped untangle the boater from lines in the water, then brought him to the surface, according to a Facebook post from Kent Island Troop 1631. O’Malley brought the man to the swim platform of a nearby boat, where he worked to clear the man’s airway, the post said. Queen Anne’s County EMS responded to the scene. Assistant Chief Scott Wheatley tells Bay Bulletin, “We encourage the public to step up in a time of need and this individual absolutely assisted in saving this man’s life.” The boater was alive and speaking when EMS arrived, and they got him safely to the hospital. Troop 1631 wrote of O’Malley, “Brice’s actions show the true measure of his character as an Eagle Scout and brings great credit upon the members of Scouts BSA, Troop 1631, and all those who earn the rank and become Eagle Scouts!”

ANNAPOLIS “WALK THE DOCKS” OFFERS BOAT SHOW ALTERNATIVE BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

I

t’s been a big season for boating, as folks in the Bay region turned to the water for safe summer fun. More people are looking to invest in their first boat, or upgrade. But with the iconic Annapolis Boat Shows canceled, what’s a boat shopper to do? Starting this weekend, a group of Annapolis-area sailboat and powerboat dealers are putting on a scaled-down, appointment-only event to allow prospective buyers to compare models, with COVID-19 safety in mind. Walk the Docks in Annapolis, running Sept. 24–27, shows off nearly 20 boat brands ranging from 26-60 feet. Only one appointment at a time will be allowed and boats will be sanitized after each tour. “It’s wonderful that the powerboat and

sailboat dealers in Annapolis agreed to come together and host a multi-dealer open house that will allow customers to shop for boats and feel safe about it,” says Ken Comerford, Owner and President of North Point Yacht Sales. “It’s imperative that we take this pandemic seriously, and this will allow a customer to compare models at a safe distance.” Anyone who wants to make an appointment should call the boat dealer directly. Dealers taking part include: North Point Yacht Sales featuring MJM Yachts, Hanse Yachts, Dehler, Tiara Yachts, and Caymas – (410) 280-2038 Annapolis Yachts Sales featuring Beneteau, Lagoon, Edgewater, and Cruisers Yachts – (410) 267-8181 Crusader Yacht Sales featuring Jeanneau, Tartan, Legacy, and Excess – (410) 269-0939

Atlantic Cruising Yachts featuring Fountaine Pajot and Dufour – (844) 567-3087 Sail Annapolis featuring Catalina Yachts & True North – (410) 280-8878 S&J Yachts featuring Southerly Yachts – (410) 639-2777 Boat services are also getting involved in the Walk the Docks concept. A Walk the Docks- Explore the Yard event will take place on the same days as the boat open houses, Sept. 24–27 from 10am–5pm at Bert Jabin Yacht Yard. Bay Shore Marine, Electronic Marine Annapolis, and Annapolis Rigging will be displaying parts and equipment, offering fall discounts, and answering questions about boaters’ rigging, electronic and engine needs. For both events, visitors must wear masks and follow pandemic directives.

In December 2019, Governor Larry Hogan announced an increase in the Bikeways Program from $2 million to $3.8 million annually.

Anne Arundel County will be awarded $600,000 — the largest grant awarded in the state — to complete a design for an extension of the BWI Trail Loop spur through Linthicum to the Nursery Road Light Rail Station in Linthicum Heights. This project will close the gap in the trail between the BWI and the B&A trails and the Gwynns Falls Trail at Harbor Hospital in Baltimore. Calvert County will receive $88,000 to determine the feasibility of a shareduse path serving commercial, recreational and residential destinations in the Dunkirk and Prince Frederick Town Centers. “We are working with our county, city and state government partners to build our envisioned trail network that will connect people with the places they need and want to get to, without using a car,” says Jon Korin, president of Bicycle Advocates for Annapolis & Anne Arundel County and chair of the Anne Arundel County Bicycle Advisory Commission. “Bicycling has increased in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic and with more safe routes, that will last beyond the pandemic.” September 24 - October 1, 2020 • BAY WEEKLY • 7

Sounds of the Symphony Restored BY KRISTA PFUNDER

t’s music to our ears. The Annapolis Symphony Orchestra is returning to the stage—and they’re taking a unique approach to COVID-19 precautions. The first concert of the 2020-21 season, The Four Seasons by Astor Piazzolla, will be performed Saturday, Sept. 26 live at the Music Center at Strathmore in Bethesda. Yet, the audience will be watching from home. Music Director José-Luis Novo was preparing for the season when the pandemic hit earlier this year. “Once Maestro Novo has a rough outline of the season, he provides a list of artists to the Symphony team so they can begin to reach out to their managers and check artist availability,” says Edgar Herrera, Annapolis Symphony Orchestra executive director. “Some guests artists are booked one to two years in advance. So, you can imagine the Tetris

The programs through December will include only string, percussion, keyboard and harp.” Because the performers will need to practice social distancing on stage, a

new space was necessary. “Our home venue stage at Maryland Hall didn’t have that kind of space,” Herrera says. “We are an affiliate member of the Music Center at Strathmore, so we are utilizing their larger stage for musician distancing.” To serve their audience, the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra created their own platform to provide a rewarding at-home experience for viewers. “From the audience perspective, we had to find a way to deliver our gold standard quality to people in their own homes,” Herrera says. “The Strathmore

This nationwide celebration aims to raise awareness of the many benefits of all-electric and plug-in hybrid cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Over the last seven years, the Annapolis environmental organization has brought in-person EV showcases to city streets, giving visitors a chance to see these vehicles up close and talk to the people who drive them. This year’s showcase will be its own hybrid of in-person and virtual experiences. On Sept. 30, EVs will be parked along Maryland Avenue’s recovery zone (68pm), while it is closed to car traffic but open for outdoor dining. Vehicle owners will share their personal experiences

has multi-camera capabilities which will enrich the viewing experience. We also needed a streaming platform robust enough to seamlessly handle everything. This led to the development of Symphony+, a comprehensive virtual platform powered by Vimeo Over the Top.” The All-Access Household Pass for Symphony+ is $99 for six live concerts, six pre-concert talks and on-demand replay of all content. “People anywhere in the world can take part,” Herrera says. “This new platform gives us an opportunity to expand our reach beyond the concert hall. While we love selling out the house, there is no limit to audience size in the virtual world.” The series for the 2020-21 season is titled “Harmony in Nature” and highlights composers and works inspired by Mother Nature. For a list of upcoming performances and purchase passes go to www.annapolissymphony.org.

Thursday, Oct. 1, a virtual showcase of electric vehicles will be available via Zoom (8-9:30pm), from the Michael E. Busch Annapolis Library on West Street. See over 40 plug-in vehicles, hear from owners and take a virtual test drive. Viewers will learn about the BGE partnership that led to the installation of charging stations in public areas such as the library and watch a ribbon cutting to officially inaugurate them. Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman and Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley and Maryland Secretary of the Environment Ben Grumbles will open the event. Pittman will discuss his recent initiative to convert the county fleet to all electric in the next 15 years. Then on Friday, Oct. 4, a different selection of EVs will be parked along West Street’s recovery zone for viewing (4-9pm). Masks are required at all in-person events. p Learn more at: https://annapolisgreen.com/drive-electric/.

FALL FUN OUR GUIDE TO ALL THAT AUTUMN OFFERS B Y K AT H Y K N O T T S

W

E OFFICIALLY said goodbye to summer with the autumnal equinox Tues. Sept. 22—the day the sun spends equal time above and below the horizon— but cooler temps and low humidity have been creeping in for a bit longer than that. Now that the flip flops and beach umbrellas aren’t so useful anymore, it’s the season of apple picking, hayrides, bonfires and pumpkin patches. Fall fun in Chesapeake country is always bountiful. Yet, as with so many events this year, the pandemic has left us with fewer options for those experiences. Some of our longtime fall favorites such as Knightongale Farm and Homestead Gardens have opted to skip their annual events this year. CO N T I N U E D O N N E X T PAG E

2020

FALL FUN CONTINUED

Stacey Greenstreet of Greenstreet Gardens in Lothian says they will host their annual fall festival complete with corn maze, but with a few changes. “We decided to move forward because the residents of Anne Arundel County and beyond want and need to get outside and enjoy the season, and we have lots of space,” she says. “Our plan is to move forward with a modified Fall Fun on the Farm event beginning the first weekend in October.” Watch their Facebook page for more announcements regarding their fall festival plans (www.facebook.com/ greenstreetgardensflowersandgifts/). Like other area festivals, Greenstreet will use timed tickets to limit the number of people on the farm at a time, and face masks and social distancing will be required. “We will meet or exceed all local, state and federal guidelines related to COVID-19,” she says. Unfortunately, hayrides will not be included in this year’s festivities, due to the inability to social distance on them. “So we recommend all guests come prepared with sturdy footwear for some extra walking.”

Get Lost (in a Good Way)

One of the biggest attractions for a fall day on a farm is a corn maze. They can range from simple to complex, cheery to frightening and usually feature elaborate designs. Some venues have mini-mazes for preschoolers or a chance to navigate the maze at night with only a flashlight to guide you. These farms beckon you into their cornstalk labyrinths: Maryland Sunrise Farm: This Gambrills farm features a World of Wizards, Harry Potter-inspired design in its 8-acre corn maze. You can also meet feathered and four-legged friends in the petting zoo, play on the hay jump, browse the pumpkin patch and more. Come in your wizarding costumes for photo opps.

Eastern gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) come in several color variations.

The Eastern Gray Squirrel: Friend or Foe?

I

have an ongoing competitive relationship with the squirrels in my yard. Today I went to pick some yellow squash and found all of them had been taste-tested by squirrels. The hot pepper-treated sunflower seeds have stopped deflecting them and they have decided they like the bluebirds’ food. When I went on vacation last year, they tried to get into a screened porch through the screens. Luckily, they have not tried to get into the attic.

The rodents have a long tail that acts as an umbrella, blanket, balance bar and a chair. They come in several color variations from nearly all white to all black. Silver Spring has a large population of black morph squirrels. Centerville has a cluster of white morph squirrels. They have 22 teeth and their four front incisors continuously grow, requiring frequent gnawing to wear them down. Without that continuous

Silver Spring has a large population of black morph squirrels. Centerville has a cluster of white morph squirrels. The eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) is slowly expanding its range, thanks to their intelligence, fecundity and adaptability. As they spread west, they are displacing the western fox squirrel and the red squirrel. On the Eastern Shore of Maryland, they compete with the Delmarva fox squirrel. Even though they have many predators, their numbers increase to match predation. They have two litters of up to four young a year. They reach independence and sexual maturity after just a year. 14 • BAY WEEKLY • September 24 - October 1, 2020

gnawing, the teeth will grow to the point of locking their jaw. They do not hibernate but make large leaf and furlined nests that are usually high in a tree but they can also use tree hollows and the eaves of houses. Getting them out of your eaves, gardens and bird food can be quite difficult. The easiest way to discourage them is to stop feeding them—no garden and no bird feeding. Noise makers, repellent smells and baffles on feeders can help, or just encourage the squirrels to be more creative. p


GARDENING FOR HEALTH

BY MARIA PRICE

Scarlet Runner Beans Add Beauty

I

always believe that a garden, be it for flowers or vegetables, should always be beautiful. One of the most beautiful plants to dress up a vegetable garden is the scarlet runner bean. Phaseolus coccineus or scarlet runner beans were once considered of European origin but are actually a native of the Americas. The plants have 10-foot vines of red flowers and long green pods containing red seeds with black markings. There are many strains and varieties available from most seed companies. You could try the varieties from Native Seeds (https://www. nativeseeds.org/) which are obtained from native peoples of the Southwest, but since these bear late in the season, they are better suited to southern latitudes. Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds (www.rareseeds. com) offers three types of runner beans, good for snaps, shell or dried beans. Park Seed (https:// parkseed.com/) offers a white flowering bean called Stardust that is frost tolerant. One of the showiest varieties is Scarlet Emperor offered by Territorial Seed Company (https://territorialseed.com/). Although I planted my scarlet runners very late in July, they can be planted soon after all danger of frost is passed. They need full sun in loose garden loam with plenty of humus. If they start looking pale, fertilize with fish emulsion. Plant the seeds 1 inch deep and 6 inches apart. Pick the beans often to keep them producing. I used a piece of cattle fencing and strong metal fence posts to make an inexpensive arch in my vegetable gar-

den for the vines to climb on. They are blooming beautifully and provide a little shade in the middle of my garden. The flowers are red, orange, white, or with the Painted Lady variety, salmon and white. The flowering vines attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Sulfur yellow butterflies especially like them. The flowers are edible, too, and have a sweet, bean taste with a slightly crunchy texture. There is a sweet nectar in the base of each flower, so don’t remove the base. Use the flowers to top soups, in salads and as a garnish. p Have a gardening question? Email editor@bayweekly.com

SPORTING LIFE

FISHFINDER: The shallow water bite is taking off with surface baits for rockfish finally getting their share of attention. Early and late in the day is the key for this bite, though working the birds on breakers around the edges can entice some keeper rockfish out of the scrum. Otherwise, metal jigs mimicking the size of the baitfish (small) will bring lots of action. The best tactic for keeper size rock, bigger blues and mackerel is to cast out as far as you can, let the lure sink to the bottom, then crank it back varying the speed. Chumming is producing better now with fish feeding up for winter, if small bluefish move in you may have to move your location. They won’t leave while there’s scent in the area. Live lining is enjoying its last hurrah, it’ll be over when the spot leave for the ocean soon. White perch have begun to move into deeper water from shallow structures but any warm spells will cause them to move back. Spanish mackerel are on their way out but remain active to our south. Spotted seatrout are hanging from Point Lookout all the way down to Tangier Sound and providing excellent sport. Some cobia may be mixed in so keep a good hold on your rod when jigging deeper water. Crabbing is at its best but you get in on it fast. As temps fall the jimmies will head for deeper water. And remember that all females are illegal for recreational crabbers. Throw them back, they are our future.

Time to Focus on Winter Maintenance W hen temperatures begin to drop below 50 degrees, I begin to think of that horrible, impending task: winter tackle maintenance. It’s soon going to be too cold to be on the water. Possible hypothermia aside, as you get older or if you are more cold-sensitive to begin with, you realize that life is just too short to be miserable trying to have fun. Instead, it’s time to prepare your gear for winter storage. Gather all your tackle in one area and winterize everything at once before moving it to a storage area. You will need: a lubricant spray such as WD-40 or even better, Corrosion X, plus a marine grade silicone spray, a thick piece of cotton cloth, reel grease and line preserver. Stubborn grime on rods or reels may require a stiff toothbrush or a mildly abrasive kitchen pad. As you select each outfit, the first step will be to remove the reel from the rod. It’s tempting to leave the units assembled as you clean them but there are nooks and crannies that are unreachable and will cause trouble eventually. Use a toothbrush to work out the gunk stuck in the rod’s reel seat locking threads, the reel seat

hood and around the locking knurls. Pay close attention to the reel mounting seats themselves and rub them with a soft cloth saturated with a rust preventative and lubricant. Rub down the rod tubes and line guides, a lot of deposits will have accumulated over the past season; inspect all areas closely, especially the tip top and the first three guides where most of the wear and stress occurs. Be sure that all ring guide inserts are in place. A missing ring in a line guide or tip top will absolutely shred your line if it is not replaced. Don’t try to re-glue it. That won’t work, it will just pop free again as soon as it’s under stress. Find a competent repairman at a sporting goods store and drop off the unit there. Replacement of a line

guide is not a simple job, though it is generally inexpensive. Do not put it off until next season. Rod guide repairs take days in the off-season, but weeks and even months when the game is on. When your rod and reel look sparkly fresh once again, re-assemble and spray the line on the spool with marine grade silicone or a line treatment spray. An automobile vinyl preservative such as Armor All will do nicely as an alternative. Really soak it, too much is not an issue here.

the winter and keep it manageable. Discard the first 20 feet of line from each reel, it’s experienced the most wear. If you’ve got any knots, discolored or suspicious areas visible on the spool, pull off all the line for replacement in the spring. If you don’t strip it off now, you’ll forget and that will cost you the first big fish of next season. Soak a toothbrush with your cleaner, scrub and then apply silicone or a good reel grease to all zippers on your tackle bags, personal flotation devices and foul weather gear. Work it into the length of the zipper. If you’re concerned about staining, use liquid dish soap. When it dries it will still act as a lubricant without harming the fabric, though it will eventually rinse off. When you’re done, congratulate yourself and relax. It’s going to be another long winter. Now you can break out your bird and deer guns for some target practice. That’s the next adventure on your sporting calendar. p

Eliza Scanlen in Babyteeth

BY DIANA BEECHENER

Babyteeth

Teen tragedy takes a back seat to first love and terrible parenting in this nimble dramedy AVAIL ABLE ON HULU

M

illa (Eliza Scanlen: The Devil All the Time) stands on a train platform in her school uniform, seconds away from meeting the love of her life. She’s got all the signs of gawky youth: her shoulders are in a self-conscious hunch, she glares sullenly at other girls talking nearby, and she looks uncomfortable in her own skin. She looks young for her age—she’s even got one of her baby teeth still lodged in her mouth. She’s just like every other 16-year-old trying to figure things out. But there’s one thing that excuses a bit of Milla’s teen petulance. Milla is fighting cancer. So, when Moses (Toby Wallace: The Society), a tattooed, scruffy boy of 23 barrels by her, Milla is thrilled to have a distraction. She decides that Moses is the perfect man—goofy, afraid of nothing, and will drive her parents insane. She immediately skips school and invites him to spend the day with her. Milla’s parents, Henry (Ben Mendelsohn: The Outsider) and Anna (Essie Davis: Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears), are already coping with a lot.

Psychiatrist Henry is attempting to project a calm exterior, but he’s lost as to what to do with his family’s emotions or his own. Anna feels herself unraveling, and lets Henry prescribe her pills that keep her slightly loopy so she doesn’t have to deal with the reality that her daughter may not recover. They’re trying their best, attempting to weather their collective successes and failures. Though Henry and Anna are often at odds with how to handle Milla’s sickness, they’re both in agreement about one thing: Moses is a nightmare and has no business hanging out with their daughter. It’s a shame, then, that allowing Milla to see Moses seems to be the only thing keeping Milla’s spirits up. Now the couple must decide if it’s worse to allow their possibly dying daughter to experience first love, or kill her spirit in the name of good parenting. Babyteeth isn’t the first dying teen movie. In fact, there’s a whole subgenre of weepy movies designed for adolescent audiences and those who like a good cry. There’s a basic formula to them: Tragic pretty girl is wise beyond her years, meets a troubled boy, their romance makes him a better person and helps her family deal with her death, a sad pop song plays, she dies nobly, and everyone cries through the credits. But director Shannon Murphy (making her feature debut) is more interested in circumventing these

tropes than honoring them. The result is a weird, silly, and wonderful movie about four people doing their best and failing miserably the whole time. Murphy takes a well-worn genre and breathes new life into it with some excellent instincts toward her quartet of main characters. The flawed foursome is not typical of those you’d find in this type of movie, but all this bad behavior isn’t an attempt to shock, it’s just horribly sad people attempting to deal with a situation they don’t understand. Murphy makes it clear that even in the midst of horrid arguments and unkind words, there’s deep love between these people. Milla finds her mother frustrating, but she still wants to crawl into her lap and weep when the world is too much. Anna and Henry have hissing arguments, but always with the understanding that this is just a passing storm. The film is aided by lovely cinematography by Andrew Commis (Angel of Mine), who creates a sort of candy-colored dream world for Milla and her family. Murphy and Commis work to make the city seem alien and bright as Milla explores it, experiencing parties and drinking like some sort of otherworldly adventure. Though the film features sharp dialogue and hilarious action, it’s the performances that make the movie something truly special. The heart of

the film is Scanlen, who manages to charm even when she’s being a brat and insisting her pill-popping adult boyfriend stay the night. It’s a lovely, sweet performance of a girl on the cusp of both death and adulthood. Davis and Mendelsohn are fantastic as bewildered parents just hoping to do something right for their dying child. They know they should ban Moses from their home, but they don’t know if it’s fair to deny their daughter the joys of young love. Davis is filled with dread in every look and movement, teetering on tears while plastering a smile on her face. Mendelsohn’s Henry is so busy putting on a happy face to keep his daughter and wife content, he’s dying inside. If you’re a fan of beautiful acting and quirky plotting, give Babyteeth a try. It’s a wonderful twist on the dying teen genre that leaves you with a sense of hope instead of merely mining tears from you. Good Dramedy * R * 118 mins.

BY ROB BREZNY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “It takes a lot of courage to be the same person on the outside that you are on the inside.� Author Barbara De Angelis made that observation. I offer it up to you as a fun challenge. During the coming weeks, you may be strongly tempted to be different on the outside than you are on the inside. On the other hand, you’ll have the necessary insight and valor to remain unified. In fact, you may ultimately create more congruence between your inside and outside than you have in a long time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within.� Fantasy author Ursula K. Le Guin made that observation, and now I’m conveying it to you just in time for the season when you’ll need it most. Please note that I am not predicting you’ll be devoured by dragons from within. In offering you this oracle, my hope is that you will: 1. acknowledge the existence of metaphorical dragons; 2. locate where they hang out in your inner realms; 3. study them and get to know them better; 4. devise a strategy for dealing with them safely.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Don’t let them tame you,� advised flamboyant Gemini dancer Isadora Duncan. Who did she mean by “them�? The mainstream critics, who might have wished she cultivated a less maverick style? Her managers and handlers, who may have wanted her to tone herself down so she could earn maximum amounts of money? Her friends, who cringed when she did things like dancing on a table wearing an evening dress at a party? In accordance with astrological omens, Gemini, I invite you to take a survey of what influences might wish you were more docile, mild, or manageable. And then meditate on how you could consistently express the healthiest kind of wildness.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the Yoruba religion of IfĂ , the English word “heartâ€? has two different meanings and words. So says Yoruba priest AwĂł Falokun Fatunmbi. The first heart is the organ that pumps blood through our bodies. It’s called okĂ n. Within the okĂ n is the second heart: a power center that regulates the flow of emotions. It’s called ègbè. I believe your ègbè will be exceptionally strong and clear and generous in the coming weeks, Cancerian. Your capacity to feel deeply and truly will be a gift to all those with whom you share it.

time. As you refrain from regarding your own opinions as God’s holy decrees, you will generate good fortune for yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Ancient Greek philosopher Plato observed, “Do not train children to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.� The same principle applies to all of us adults who are committed to the goal of life-long learning. And according to my astrological analysis, it will be especially useful for you Leos to keep in mind during the coming weeks. It’s time to energize your education! And here’s the best way to gather the new teachings that are important for you to know: Follow what amuses your mind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “It’s a rare gift, to know where you need to be, before you’ve been to all the places you don’t need to be.� Author Ursula K. Le Guin wrote that. I’m passing it on to you because I suspect you now possess the power to claim this rare gift. In the coming days, you don’t have to engage in endless evaluations of the numerous possibilities. You don’t have to risk falling victim to overthinking. Your clear, strong gut hunches will tell you exactly where you need to be and how to get there.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Christian author Frederick Buechner writes, “We are commanded to love our neighbors as ourselves, and I believe that to love ourselves means to extend to those various selves that we have been along the way the same degree of compassion and concern that we would extend to anyone else.� Let’s make his thought your keynote for the next two weeks. Now is an excellent time to take a journey through your past to visit all the other people you have been. As you do attend to this poignant work, be generous with each of your old selves. Forgive them for their errors and praise their beauty. Tell them how much you love them. Thank them for how they have made possible the life you’re living now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Seventy-nine-year-old Libran poet Robert Pinsky has had a triumphant life. He has published 19 books, including his own poems and essays, as well as translations of Italian and Polish poetry. For four years he served as the United States Poet Laureate. To what factors does he attribute his success? Here’s one: “Whatever makes a child want to glue macaroni on a paper has always been strong in me,� he testifies. He’s referring to the primitive arts-and-crafts projects he enjoyed while growing up. In accordance with astrological omens, I encourage you, too, to get in touch and commune with the primal roots of the things you love to do. Reconnect with the original expressions of your passion for life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “A single ego is an absurdly narrow vantage point from which to view the world,� wrote occultist Aleister Crowley. Author Gore Vidal agreed, saying, “Since no one can ever know for certain whether or not his own view of life is the correct one, it is absolutely impossible for him to know if someone else’s is the wrong one.� All of us can perpetually benefit from this counsel. And it will be especially healthy for you to heed during the next four weeks. Humility will be a superpower. Blessings will flow your way if you don’t need to be right all the

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Novelist Henry Miller was in many ways a quintessential Capricorn. He described himself as being “in love with love, always in search of the absolute, always seeking the unattainable.� Feelings like those are why your astrological symbol is the mountain goat that’s always climbing higher, questing toward the next pinnacle. At your best, you’re determined to keep striving for the brightest, the strongest, the truest. Sometimes you overdo this admirable imperative, but mostly it’s a beautiful quality. You are hereby authorized to express it with maximum wisdom and eagerness in the coming weeks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Go catch a falling star,� wrote poet John Donne (1572–1631) in his poem “Song.� “Tell me who cleft the Devil’s foot,� he went on to say. “Teach me to hear the mermaids singing.� He wasn’t being literal, but rather was indulging in poetic fancy to stretch his readers’ imaginations. I’m offering you the spirit of Donne’s poem, Aquarius, because you’re ripe to transcend your limited notions about what’s plausible and implausible. If you allow yourself to get extravagant and unruly in your fantasies, you may crack through shrunken expectations and break into a spacious realm of novel possibilities.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I don’t suggest you indulge daringly in sensual pleasures, cathartic exchanges of energy, and intoxicating pursuits of relief and release. The pandemic mandates us to be cautious about engaging in unmitigated bliss—even though the astrological omens suggest that if now were a normal time, such activities would be well worth focusing on. How can you resolve this dilemma? Possibilities: 1. Experiment zestfully with your live-in steady or spouse. 2. Get a COVID-19 test with a potential playmate, and if you both test negative, celebrate boisterously. 2. Round up a dazzler with whom you can generate rapture via Zoom. 3. Fantasize about delightfully gracious debauchery. 4. Go solo.

In your fantasy, create an alternate version of yourself with a different name and a different life. FreeWillAstrology.com


NEWS OF THE WEIRD

COMPILED BY ANDREWS McMEEL SYNDICATION Awesome!

Florida real estate agent Kristen Kearney was inundated with interest in a condo she listed in Lake Worth after photos of the $100,000 property and its Budweiser beer can decor went viral. The former owner, now deceased, made it “his life’s mission to wallpaper his home in beer cans, and he did it,” Kearney said. “He even created a crown molding look with the cans.” United Press International reported every wall and ceiling in the condo is covered with actual beer cans, except the bathroom. Kearney said the property is under contract with a backup offer.

Come Again?

A man identifying himself as Jesus Christ appeared before Rickergate court in Carlisle, England, on Sept. 15 after being arrested by British Transport Police on suspicion that he did not buy a ticket to ride a train from Edinburgh to Carlisle. When asked to state a plea, the man replied, “There is a not guilty plea; I don’t need to plead,” the News & Star reported. In response to a request for his address, he said: “No fixed abode, or Yellow House, Albion, Mauritius.” The bearded defendant wore a hood and a green blindfold throughout his hearing; he was returned to custody as prosecutors considered his case.

The Passing Parade

Windermere, Florida, fifth-grader Ian Golba, 11, visited the principal’s office on Sept. 15 after his teacher asked him to remove his Hooters face mask. “She said it was not appropriate for school and I asked her why and she said if you really want to know why go ask the principal,” Ian told WESH. The principal at Sunset Park Elementary School backed up the teacher, asking Ian three times to remove the mask, which he did. But Greg Golba, Ian’s dad, wants to know what the problem was. “I don’t think it’s offensive at all. It’s just a restaurant,” Greg said.

Compelling Explanation

Tarrant County, Texas, Sheriff’s Deputy Jay Allen Rotter, 36, called 911 on Aug. 26 to report that his girlfriend, Leslie Lynn Hartman, 46, had shot herself in the head with his duty weapon as they shared a hug in their bedroom, telling the dispatcher “she is done” and he “would have stopped her if he could have,” according to Denton police. But as police investigators analyzed physical evidence and Rotter’s electronics over the following weeks, they came to identify Rotter as a suspect, leading to his arrest on Sept. 14, reported NBC5. According to the arrest affidavit, the deputy had been active in a chat room called Discord that night, where he posted that he had “just sent a 9 millie in this ... hippie,” and phone and computer records showed the two had been arguing about the shooting of a milk carton in the backyard before the alleged murder. Rotter was charged with murder

and tampering with evidence and is being held on $1.15 million bond in the Denton City Jail.

Inexplicable

Jimmy Senda of Racine, Wisconsin, takes a walk along the beach on Lake Michigan every morning, where he collects “sea glass and random stuff— because I like to do artwork at home with the stuff that I find,” he told FOX6. On Sept. 15, he came across a curious package, “wrapped in aluminum foil, and around it, it had a pink rubber band,” he said. “Curiosity got to me, so I popped it open and it looked like a chicken breast,” but on closer inspection, he determined, “it was a brain.” The package also contained flowers and paper with what appear to be Mandarin characters printed on it. Senda called police, who turned the package over to the Racine County Medical Examiner’s Office and later announced the brain was “not consistent with a human brain,” although they were still trying to determine what kind of animal it came from.

Government in Action

Ocean Township, New Jersey, listed the home of 89-year-old Glen Kristi Goldenthal for sale on Sept. 9, foreclosing on the property because Goldenthal owed 6 cents on back taxes from 2019. The tax shortfall had accrued to more than $300, triggering the sale, which alerted Goldenthal’s daughter, Lisa Suhay, in Virginia. NBC New York reported the outraged Suhay began calling everyone in the township’s office to explain that her mother suffers from Alzheimer’s and probably forgot about the bill. Suhay took care of the debt, but for her mother, “(T)his isn’t over ... She’s called me dozens of times in the last 24 hours,” asking about her house and where she’s going to live. Mayor Christopher Siciliano was apologetic, but Suhay remained incensed: “Shame on anybody who can’t think far outside the box enough to come up with six cents in an office full of people.”

Bright Idea

A commuter boarded a bus between Swinton and Manchester, England, on Sept. 14 sporting what one fellow passenger thought was a “funky mask” until it started to move. The face mask turned out to be a live snake, wrapped around the man’s neck and over his nose and mouth, the BBC reported. Another passenger took photos and posted them on Twitter, commenting “each to their own and all that.” “No one batted an eyelid,” another rider said. Transport for Greater Manchester, however, said in a statement that “snakeskin—especially when still attached to the snake” is not suitable for masks.

Fashion of the Times

In response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, French fashion house Louis Vuitton announced it will release a pro-

tective visor Oct. 30 in its stores worldwide that Vogue reports is “the most luxurious take on a plastic face shield that we’ve seen to date.” The LV Shield is trimmed with the designer’s signature monogram and gold studs engraved with the company’s logo. It doubles as a sun visor, changing from clear to tinted when exposed to sunlight, and also can be flipped up and worn as more of a cap. Although a price for the shield has not been set, Vogue estimates it to be somewhere between the cost of a typical Vuitton hat, $700, and sunglasses, $800.

Duuuude

Colin Sullivan, who grows cannabis plants outside his home in New Brunswick, Canada, caught a little thief in his garden on Sept. 8, the Daily Mail reported. Sullivan took four photos of a mouse nibbling on the stems of the plants—then found the little rodent passed out in a pile of leaves. “He’s missing an ear so it may be self-medication for his PTSD but I still think it’s time for an intervention,” Sullivan posted on Facebook. Sullivan re-homed the mouse to a cage, where he was weaned to just one medium leaf per day. “It’s been a couple of rough days for our little baked buddy here and despite a belly ache and a wicked bad case of the munchies I think he’ll make a full recovery,” Sullivan wrote.

Police Report

• Daytona Beach, Florida, police arrived at the home of Lovely Butts, 64, on the evening of Sept. 14, where they found a female juvenile relative standing in the front yard, smelling of bleach. The girl, who was described in the police report as Butts’ “primary caregiver,” told police she had argued with Butts about “the location of her medicine” and that Butts had thrown bleach at her, striking her in the face and mouth. Butts also allegedly threatened to pistol whip the girl. The Smoking Gun reported that Butts was charged with aggravated assault and child abuse; police confiscated her unloaded pistol from her nightstand. • Mark King of Wolcottville, Indiana, went to war with imaginary enemies on Sept. 13 after using methamphetamine on the previous two days, according to the LaGrange County Sheriff’s Department. Deputies responding to reports of a man swinging a broom handle around and hollering in a yard, found King as he left a neighbor’s garage after having thrown a gun through the building’s window. Previously, police determined, King had allegedly shot up the inside of his own home, imagining that people were trying to break in and steal some of his belongings. WANE reported King was transported to a hospital and later charged with possession of meth and paraphernalia. p Send your weird news items with subject line WEIRD NEWS to WeirdNewsTips@ amuniversal.com.

The Inside Word How many two or more letter words can you make in 2

by Bill Sells

Kriss Kross

Anagram

It’s a Game

Rodents The ten anagrams below are all types of rodents. Can you unscramble them and come up with the correct answers? Good luck!

minutes from the letters in: Landlubber (40 words)

When the Anglo-Saxons happened across anyone slow, clumsy, and inexperienced, they called them lobbe and eventually lubber. And when an experienced ship’s crew had to put up with these clumsy rookies, especially with the many dangers associated with sea travel, they invented a word to pointedly describe them. These days we think the word is a hybrid of land and lover, which it isn’t, and that the fellow would rather be back home. But that’s not always true. What is true is that a landlubber is already slow, clumsy, and inexperienced before they set sail.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

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

CryptoQuip

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!
