What the Bay Can Learn from Jimmy Buffett

Photos courtesy John Potvin, Lighthouse Manager for Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse.

id you hear? Iconic singer Jimmy Buffett was in Annapolis this past week. Word (and social media posts) spread like wildlife when the entertainer made his way down the Chesapeake Bay with yachts, planes and water toys in tow. After he first surfaced on the C&D Canal in his custom, aquamarine sportfisher, he went stand-up paddleboarding in Havre de Grace. He landed his sea plane at Tower Point in Chesapeake City. His sailboat (also sleek and aquamarine) lay in wait in Annapolis, where he appeared just a couple of days later. For what? Nobody knew, though locals took great delight in peeking at Buffett’s

boats from the Eastport Bridge. It didn’t take long to find out (on Facebook, of course) that the Margaritaville mogul had come to the Bay to shoot music videos. Buffett, whose net worth was last estimated at $550 million, visited the equally iconic Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse. The Annapolis landmark just finished a structural restoration to ensure it’s sound for decades to come (complete with paint job), so the lighthouse was ready for her closeup. Manager John Potvin, who spent the day at the lighthouse with Buffett, tells Bay Bulletin, “He loves lighthouses and congratulated us on our restoration. He was there for several

hours, and produced two songs which will be aired in a live stream in the near future.” What is it about the Bay that inspired this artist more commonly associated with tropical island locales? Undoubtedly, the boating opportunities have something to do with it. As one of our Facebook followers pointed out, Buffett would usually be on a concert tour around this time of year, playing outdoor venues to thousands of “parrotheads.” Maybe Jimmy Buffett has realized, like the rest of us, that Chesapeake boating is the perfect pandemic activity. And what is it about Buffett that captivates Chesapeake country? Perhaps it’s the sense of pride that comes with knowing that a half-billionaire who could spend his time anywhere has chosen the Bay, of all places. Hometown pride runs strong here, after all (Old Bay! The Maryland flag! Crab cakes! We love it all). But perhaps the excitement comes from what Jimmy Buffett stands

for: a waterfront escape, a relaxing drink, and general contentedness. Maybe a visit from Jimmy Buffett is just what we needed in 2020: a reminder to let it all go and adopt the “five o’clock somewhere” philosophy. In this issue of CBM Bay Weekly, we’re finding more ways to help you let it all go, and no, our ideas don’t involve margaritas. We’re taking you on a fall colors tour of Maryland (turn to page 11 to see when you can find different parts of the state at peak foliage) and giving you a plan for how and when to get the best fall rockfish bite. And we’re gathering up your best bets for weekend events in our Bay Planner. We don’t know where Jimmy Buffett is cruising off to next, but we’re going to hold onto his enjoy-the-moment vibe for at least a little while longer. p — MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM NEWS DIRECTOR

RETURN OF FROGS MARKS SOUTH RIVER STREAM RESTORATION SUCCESS BY CHERYL COSTELLO

he proof is in the tadpoles. The restoration of a stream that eventually leads to the South River has produced remarkable results—for the first time in residents’ memory, frogs have ap-

peared there. What was a steep, hazardous ravine that washed runoff into waterways is now a healthy stream. We recently got to see the dramatic “before and after” of

Gravely Run, part of Flat Creek, a tributary of the South River, has been restored from a deep ravine with a 20-foot drop (before photo) to a more natural stream that slows down stormwater runoff and is a welcoming home to tadpoles (after).

the Arundel Rivers Federation project in Davidsonville. “The small stuff comes back first,” says South, West & Rhode Riverkeeper Jesse Iliff, as we watch the quick-mov-

ing tadpoles jump into the newly restored Gravely Run. “They have more mobility and so when the habitat conditions start to improve, they’re the first species that

can capitalize on that improvement,” Iliff continues. The improvements are easy to see in the mile-long stretch of stream that is part of Flat Creek, which flows into the South River and then the Bay. Iliff showed Bay Bulletin the stone breakwaters that slow down the flow of stormwater as it moves through the stream. “It used to be a deeply incised stream bed—so deep that you would be able to drive a Ford F-150 along the bottom of it and nobody would be able to see you.” Arundel Rivers Federation partnered with the community and many funders, including Chesapeake Bay Trust and federal, state and county resources on the unprecedented $2.5 million project. “This is now the largest project that we as an organization have ever completed and it’s among the largest that have been done by anybody…We’re talking 40 tons of dirt and sediment [that were] washing into the river every year. And for frame of reference, that’s several dump trucks’ worth of soil,” says Iliff. Slowing down that movement will reduce the bad stuff—sediment, nitrogen and phosphorous—from reaching the South River. One of the property owners, Lara Mulvaney, was instrumental in getting the project going. “We were losing feet of earth that was

moving downstream into the river,” she says. The steep ravine wasn’t just bad for the environment, it was a public safety hazard. “The drop there at that bridge used to go 20 feet straight down. And it was dangerous for the community and for kids to be out there. My dog fell in that ravine at one point,” she says. Mulvaney alerted Arundel Rivers Federation and helped coordinate with her neighbors to gain access to the property. “It was affecting my property, my neighbor’s property and the community’s property, but I knew about the impact it was having downstream,” Mulvaney says. Now, the base elevation is higher and the sides are graded so the streambed is more stable. More than 2,000 native trees have been planted to aid in the stormwater uptake. Iliff says sycamore trees were an ideal choice because “they grow very fast, they use a lot of water in the process and we’re only a couple feet away from the main stream channel,” so the sycamore’s roots will reach down into the stream and help pull the water out. Take it from the frogs: so far, this stream restoration is a leaping success. View exclusive Bay Bulletin video: https://youtu.be/CGpSO9UApWI

can do their part to bring back local forests by planting trees on their properties this fall with the help of a new program. The Anne Arundel Watershed Stewards Academy’s Groves of Gratitude program aims to replace these lost acres by giving county residents native trees to plant on their properties. “There are eight different bundle packages available, with options for individual trees and groves,” says Katie Foster, development and communications coordinator for the Academy. “The individual tree packages include two small tree options; a dry canopy tree and a wet canopy tree.” Each of the four grove packages provides a specific benefit, such as providing a sustainable food source, increasing pollinator habitat, screening from roads or neighbors or providing shade for more efficient energy use. Trees and materials are funded by the Anne Arundel County Bureau of Watershed Protection and Restoration. A donation of between $15 and $60 per package is suggested. “Fifty percent of proceeds from the program will benefit the maintenance of steward projects, from rain barrels to stream restorations,” Foster says. “Since 2009, stewards have installed over 3,200 projects across the county, driving change for sustainable landscapes and clean waters.” Remaining proceeds will benefit the

Center of Help to provide relief to families in the county who are experiencing health, housing and food insecurity due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “In total, about 500 trees are available,” Foster says. “We anticipate reaching 100 county residents.” Trees will be available for pickup Nov. 4 in the Annapolis area and Nov. 10 in Northern Anne Arundel County. Orders accepted through Oct. 26 at http:// aawsa.org/groves-of-gratitude. To have a greater impact, and plant more than 10 trees, contact Grae Brummitt at contabrummitt@aacps.org.

t only took 48 hours for every ticket to the family-friendly Fright Nights at Annapolis Town Center to sell out. It seems we are all hungry for COVID-safe Halloween fun. “The response was incredible,” says Anthony Henry, general manager for Annapolis Town Center. “We knew we wanted to incorporate the fun of Halloween in a safe environment, but we had no idea how successful the overall outcome would be.” The multi-use center announced its plans for five nights of “chills, thrills, and fun” with a haunted drive-thru and feature film on October 1. Within a week, all the 300+ tickets were sold. Two evenings are reserved for families and three are adults-only. But don’t worry, there’s still a chance to win tickets. Read on. Fright Nights are drawing guests from all over the region, much like ATC’s popular summer concert series, which were presented virtually for two weeks this spring due to the pandemic. “I was very surprised on the amount of different zip codes that were pulled up (in ticket reports), some as far as Virginia. The reach is pretty extensive,” adds Henry. For those who were fast enough to snag tickets, their evening begins at a

haunted house (near P.F. Chang’s) on the newly installed Green. Guests check in with their vehicle and receive concessions— popcorn and a branded bag full of candy for the families—before continuing down the haunted alleyway full of fog, spooky décor, costumed actors and ambient music via radio and continuing down the boulevard. Guests will then be escorted to their designated space for the drive-in movie. On adults-only night a beer garden will be set up hosted by Vintage Views: A Wandering Bar prior to the start of the movie and live music provided by DJ Crawdads. Adults receive two complimentary drink tickets. ATC restaurants will also be open for curbside pick-up. Photo stations behind the big screen will also be set up for guests to capture the memory. “We really challenged ourselves on coming up with an idea that will keep our tenants engaged and our community engaged,” says Henry. “And we wanted to provide people a chance to get out of the house, enjoy some time with one another.” If you didn’t get to the ticket booth in time, ATC is hosting a social media campaign over the next two weeks, encouraging followers to share photos of yourself or family members in costume to win one of six tickets to the sold-out events.

AUTUMN

I N M A RY L A N D A leaf-lover’s holiday, timed just right

BY MARK HENDRICKS

F THERE IS SOMETHING good to celebrate this year, it’s the marvelous display that nature is presenting us with right now. This could be one of the most spectacular seasons for fall foliage in recent memory. In my opinion experiencing the autumnal kaleidoscope of reds, yellows, and oranges on a crisp, cool day is tough to beat. Leaf peeping is by far my favorite sport. A number of factors go into creating the most spectacular fall foliage. You want summer weather with a fair amount of rain, but not too much. Drought will cause undue stress on trees while too much rain may cause the leaves to drop prematurely or worse, afflict trees with the fungus anthrac-

nose (this happened during the muted autumn of 2018 and it was particularly hard on maple trees). In September you hope for warm days paired with cool nights—a good sign that the colors will be vibrant, especially the reds. The eastern woodlands of North America offer the best fall foliage of anywhere on this big blue marble. What makes Maryland so spectacular is our topography. We have it all in a relatively small package. From the Appalachian Mountains of western Maryland to the rolling hills of the piedmont plateau and the flat Atlantic coastal plain surrounding the mighty Chesapeake Bay, one can begin to see

the colors from late September until mid-November. Ready to get your “leaf” on? Each Thursday the Maryland Department of Natural Resources posts a fall foliage report on their Facebook page (facebook.com/MarylandDNR). Additionally, yours truly created a “Maryland Fall Foliage” page on Facebook where anyone can share reports or photos of their leaf peeping (facebook. com/MarylandFallFoliage). Even in midst of this pandemic, leaf peeping offers an excellent way to get outdoors, take in the sun, and embrace all that the season offers. This year you will want to adhere to social distancing guidelines, easy to do with so much foliage laid out before you. By the time you read this much of Garrett County is experiencing peak foliage, with Allegany County not far behind. You cannot go wrong in Garrett County, as the entire county from Deep Creek Lake to Swallow Falls State Park is simply spectacular. I particularly love the drive around the Keysers Ridge area and through the Savage River State Forest. New Germany State Park and the Finzel Swamp Preserve offer incredible leaf peeping hikes and walks. In Allegany County, I would encourage you to visit the Green Ridge State Forest, Dans Mountain State Park, and Rocky Gap State Park. Driving through historic Cumberland and along Fifteen Mile Creek Road should provide excellent views by road. Usually the last two weeks of October are fantastic for the Blue Ridge Mountains in Maryland. Catoctin Mountain 12 • BAY WEEKLY • October 15 - October 22, 2020

Park, Greenbrier State Park, and Washington Monument State Park are all excellent. At the latter two you may hike the Appalachian Trail. While not in the mountains, Rocks State Park in Harford County is also usually fantastic during this time, as is a drive along the scenic Route 136. From late October through early November is when I visit the central, southern and eastern parts of the state. In the central region I am particularly fond of Patapsco Valley State Park located in both Baltimore and Howard Counties. In Southern Maryland, driving through rural farm country in autumn is always gorgeous; make a point to visit to Flag Ponds Nature Park and the Battle Creek Cypress Swamp. If you drive across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge into Delmarva, just keep going and drive to Blackwater Wildlife Refuge and see the swamps of Pocomoke State Park (apart of the Pocomoke State Forest). While these are just a few of my favorite fall destinations in Maryland this is by no means a complete list, I hope this helps you get started in exploring our state. Autumn leaves are a fleeting beauty. Embrace this season of harvest and create lasting memories. Happy leaf peeping. p October 15 - October 22, 2020 â&#x20AC;˘ BAY WEEKLY â&#x20AC;˘ 13

GARDENING FOR HEALTH

BY MARIA PRICE

Saving Ginseng and Goldenseal

ast week, I wrote about a number of plants declining in Maryland, especially in Anne Arundel County. Integrated plant conservation takes plants from endangered areas and grows them in sanctuary areas such as botanic gardens and then restored them in their natural habitat. Endangered plants occur due to sparse populations, poor genetic adaptability to a changing climate, and damage or elimination of habitat. About 29,000 species of plants considered threatened or endangered, are protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, also known as CITES. Nearly 400 species are native to the United States. Any plant listed in CITES means harvesting from public land is prohibited and may require a permit to export. Many of these are plants that are used as botanical raw materials in therapeutic, aromatic and or culinary preparations and traded internationally. Two popular and profitable native North American medicinal plants, American ginseng, (Panax quinquefolius) and goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), are listed in Appendix II of the CITES. They are monitored under disparate domestic strategies designed to satisfy CITES requirements. American ginseng especially has benefited from

being on the list, encouraging U.S. states to enact laws to protect wild populations and regulate collections. American ginseng is a long-lived perennial herb grown in the mountain woodlands of the eastern United States and Canada. It has been traded internationally with Asian countries since the 18th century, leading to overharvesting, especially in especially in Western Maryland. Dried ginseng brings high dollars in China. It takes three years for ginseng roots to grow to a marketable size. American ginseng has a reputation for easing stress, boosting energy and calming anxiety. It’s also been studied for use in diabetics in helping control blood sugar. It was added to the CITES list in 1975. Goldenseal is an herb native to the northeastern United States, and has been used by native peoples long before Europeans arrived here. It is used to help treat cold symptoms, digestive issues, skin problems and urinary tract infections. The root is used in making tinctures. Overharvesting has led to a reduction and endangerment of this medicinal plant. Both of these species highlight the importance of knowing where your herbs and supplements are coming from. Consider growing your own in a sustainable and responsible manner.

Dangerous Deer in Love: Beware the Rut

s I was driving home last week, I saw five large bucks roaming around the far end of a soybean field. Each had lost the fuzzy cover to its antlers and were standing with their heads up eyeing each other. I was reminded that it is the start of the season where my drive to work will become more dangerous. The rut is starting. After growing antlers over the summer, by October the bucks have finished rubbing off the velvet coat. The velvet is a nutrient covering that

created the antlers. As the antlers mature, the blood supply to the covering dries up and the velvet starts to die and peel. The peeling layer is irritating so the deer try to scrape it off against trees. As the bucks scrape off the velvet, they are also becoming more aggressive and irritable and beginning to practice their fighting skills. It’s their equivalent of a testosterone rage that leads them to fight for the attention of does. The bucks will chase rival males and the does

frequently without caution, making them easier to hunt and potentially be hit by a car. Before European settlers arrived, the white-tailed deer population, with more natural predators and fewer open fields, was much lower—about 300,000 in all of the U.S. Clearing forests for farming created more grazing land and initially helped increase the deer population. However, improvements in weaponry and hunting techniques caused the number of deer to steadily drop over the years. By 1900, elk and deer were thought to be extinct in much of the eastern U.S. Hunting was banned in many states, which did not go over very well with landowners. With the hunting restrictions, deer populations eventually returned and have now exploded. (The eastern elk populations never recovered and are now extinct. Western elk, a different species, have been released recently in hopes of repopulating elk.) Population biologists say more than 20 deer per square mile stresses our forests and the animals themselves. Much of Anne Arundel County has deer populations above that target. I have hit two deer and one hit me, ran into the side of my car while I was almost stopped. I try to be alert and avoid deer but frequently they are just suddenly running across a road. When I see one cross, I always watch and wait for a second. Be careful on the road; the rut is on.

SPORTING LIFE

BY DENNIS DOYLE

Planning a Fall Fishing Day I

f you’re going to carefully schedule a limited number of angling days this fall, picking the optimum day on the Chesapeake involves a number of variables, all of which should be weighed carefully. You must consider the weather, tide, wind and moon data for the date in mind. All of those categories substantially impact the rockfish bite on the Chesapeake this time of year. Let’s assume you are intending to fish for stripers from a boat with the most efficient and simplistic method. That would be chumming with ground menhaden and fishing cut bait, either menhaden, alewife, bunker or pogy (all local aliases of menhaden). Let’s further confirm that you are using six to seven foot, medium to medium-heavy power spin or casting gear, spooled with 150 yards of 15- to 20-pound monofilament line, or gear close to that description. We will also anticipate, for the best chances of success, that you are using circle hooks of 5/0 to 7/0 size on a 24-inch fluorocarbon, 20- to 30-pound test leader with a 2-ounce bank sinker attached to present the baits close to

MOON & TIDES

the bottom. And dead stick the rods— leave them in the holders until you’re sure the fish are hooked up well. Providing you can arrange one day trip per week, the first decision is which day that should be. Checking the marine forecast and the tidal schedules will give you the first bits of important information. It will be prudent that winds for your day be forecast at about 10 knots or less for comfort. The winds should be in a direction that coincides with the tidal flow at the chosen area so your boat is trailing at anchor in a direction that allows your chum and your baits THURSDAY

FISHFINDER: The rockfish bite is improving, though the lackluster season in general has not established a very high standard to improve upon. Trolling seems to be the mode of angling most popular with small to medium sized bucktails trailing some type of paddle tail soft plastic. A spoon in the mix will help garner attention as will an umbrella rig. Reportedly, there is a hot bite going on in the Severn. The spot are still here for live lining but it’s a matter of days before they vamos back to the Atlantic. perch are schooling up and moving toward winter grounds; you may find a fine bunch today but they won’t be there tomorrow. Lots of birds are working all about but they are over small to tiny rockfish. If you work a group of breaking fish throw small baits, letting them sink deep then cranking them back erratically. crabbing continues to be excellent in most areas with six to seven feet currently being an optimum depth. There may be an influx of larger fish (stripers) as it gets colder (hey, it does happen). Hope springs eternal.

to trail aft from the stern. Locations involving 30-foot depths will generally be the better spots but, if there already are craft fishing in the location, anchor in their proximity. Aggregating chum is an effective strategy. The next critical item is moon phase. Moonlight is not your friend; a bright, full moon will permit the rockfish lounging in your area to feed freely all night. They won’t be foraging energetically the following day. Pick the day of the week with the least portion of the moon visible after dark. An overcast sky may negate this rule to a certain extent. When chumming during the fall at least some current is imperative. Both incoming and outgoing tides will fish well at some point but you want to avoid slack water. The tidal current commonly stalls an hour and a half after the peak high tide is scheduled for the area and will again stall an hour and a half after the low tide time. As the tidal current completely changes direction the water flow becomes confused, your baits and boat trailing first one way then another, as well as your chum slick. That period lasts an hour or longer, during which the bite

inevitably dies as well. If you cannot avoid those times, at least keep your expectations low. Monitor and modify your plans as the day nears to be sure these elements remain in effect. Another challenge with a chumming setup, is that you are committed to place. If a large flock of seabirds start working over a feeding school of breaking fish a half mile away, a distinct possibility the time of year, you cannot take advantage without significantly disrupting and even terminating your chumming operation. Unless you are prepared. Have a conspicuous, floating buoy with your DNR ID number inscribed readily available and have your chum bag rigged with a snap fastener. If you want to chase that tempting surface bite, you can then attach the chum bag and your anchor line to your buoy and immediately pursue the breaking fish. Eventually when the fray subsides you can return and, if you failed to limit out on the breakers, resume your chumming operation with little or no opportunity lost. Being committed to a schedule and a tactic does not mean sacrificing flexibility. p WEDNESDAY

Jaden Michael, Gerald Jones III, and Gregory Diaz IV in Vampires vs. the Bronx.

Vampires vs. the Bronx

Vampires literally suck the life out of a neighborhood in this clever kids’ tale AVAILABLE ON NETFLIX

iguel Martinez (Jaden Michael: Blue Bloods) has always cared about his neighborhood. His sense of civic duty has earned him the nickname The Little Mayor in his home borough of the Bronx. Though Miguel stays involved in the community, he’s fighting a losing battle to gentrification. He watches grimly as he sees local businesses bought up by a real estate company, replaced by artisanal cheese stores and expensive coffee shops. Miguel is horrified when his favorite bodega—the one he’s spent all his free time in since he was a kid—is being priced out of the neighborhood. Miguel decides to organize a block party fundraiser that will help the store’s owner, Tony (Joel “The Kid Mero” Martinez: Blackish), make ends meet. His friend Bobby (Gerald Jones III: Blue Bloods) tells him the fight for the Bronx is already lost. “Once the white people with canvas bags show up, it’s over,” Bobby laments. But Miguel isn’t so sure. There’s something off about the real estate company that’s buying up all the shops on his block. The Murnau Enterprises company must be up to something shady; they installed heavy duty blinds on all their buildings and the people accepting payouts are never seen again. When Miguel sees a Murnau representative bare his fangs and bite the neck of a local gangster, he understands what’s happening: Vampires have invaded the Bronx. Can Miguel convince his friends and family of the danger? Or are Miguel and his neighborhood doomed? Based around a pointed metaphor and silly hijinks Vampires vs the Bronx is the perfect goofy horror movie for younger spooky cinephiles (and those that don’t like a lot of blood and

gore). Think of this as Goonies meets The Lost Boys. Director Oz Rodriguez (A.P. Bio) keeps the tone light as he follows the kids through their adventures. The core trio are perfect foils for a vampire invasion—they’ve got the overconfidence of youth and the terrible decision making that comes along with being a young teen. The fact that the boys are goofy but never annoying is a testament to the talents of the three actors. Michael, Jones, and Gregory Diaz IV (New Amsterdam) have a wonderful chemistry, each filling an archetype. Michael’s Miguel is a responsible do-gooder who won’t let anyone fall between the cracks. Jones’ Bobby is a troubled tough kid with a heart of gold fighting against a reputation he can’t shake. And Diaz’s Luis is a hypochondriac nerd who offers his friends all the info they need to kill vampires (based mostly on repeated viewings of Blade). Together, their bond and petty grievances speak to a lifetime of friendship. It’s excellent work from a very young cast. But this isn’t just a movie for kids. The film is a pretty direct metaphor for gentrification, with vampires representing real estate companies literally sucking the life out of a neighborhood by pricing lower income residents out of their homes. It’s played for laughs, but there’s some real bite to the film’s observations about gentrification. Rodriguez also peppers enough vampire references throughout to keep older moviegoers engaged. (I’ll get you started: Murnau Enterprises is a reference to Nosferatu director F.W. Murnau.) There’re also some great cameos from hip hop legends and A-list Marvel actors to keep adults focused. If you’re looking for a movie that eases younger teens into the horror genre, Vampires vs The Bronx is an excellent choice. With language a little saltier than Hocus Pocus, but far fewer images of gore or intense scares than, say Halloween, this is a great middle ground movie to get you in the mood for the spooky season.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Entre chien et loup is a French idiom that literally means â&#x20AC;&#x153;between dog and wolf.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used to describe twilight or dusk, when the light is faint and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to distinguish between a dog and a wolf. But it may also suggest a situation that is a blend of the familiar and the unknown, or even a moment when whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ordinary and routine is becoming unruly or wild. Entre chien et loup suggests an intermediary state thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unpredictable or beyond our ability to define. In accordance with astrological omens, I propose you regard it as one of your main themes for now. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fight it; enjoy it! Thrive on it!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): For 34 years, the beloved American TV personality Mr. Rogers did a show for children. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now widely acknowledged as having been a powerful teacher of goodness and morality. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun fact: His actual middle name was â&#x20AC;&#x153;McFeely.â&#x20AC;? I propose that you use that as a nickname for yourself. If McFeely doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite appeal to you, maybe try â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feel Maestroâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Emotion Adeptâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sensitivity Genius.â&#x20AC;? Doing so might help inspire you to fulfill your astrological assignment in the coming weeks, which is to allow yourself to experience more deep feelings than usualâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and thereby enhance your heart intelligence. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crucial! In the coming weeks, your head intelligence needs your heart intelligence to be working at peak capacity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A blogger named Dr.LoveLlama writes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You may think I am walking around the house with a blanket around my shoulders because I am cold, but in fact the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;blanketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is my cloak and I am on a fantasy adventure.â&#x20AC;? I approve of such behavior during our ongoing struggles with COVID-19, and I especially recommend it to you in the coming days. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be wise to supercharge your imagination, giving it permission to dream up

heroic adventures and epic exploits that you may or may not actually undertake someday. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to become braver and more playful in the inner realms. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): According to author Rev. Dr. Marilyn Sewell, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The body has its own way of knowing, a knowing that has little to do with logic, and much to do with truth.â&#x20AC;? I recommend that you meditate on that perspective. Make it your keynote. Your physical organism always has wisdom to impart, and you can always benefit from tuning in to itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially important for you right now. So let me ask you: How much skill do you have in listening to what your body tells you? How receptive are you to its unique and sometimes subtle forms of expression? I hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enhance your ability to commune with it during the next four weeks.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In his fictional memoir Running in the Family, Virgo author Michael Ondaatje returns to Sri Lanka, the land where he spent his childhood, after many years away. At one point he enthuses that he would sometimes wake up in the morning and â&#x20AC;&#x153;just smell things for the whole day.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love for you to try a similar experiment, Virgo: Treat yourself to a festival of aromas. Give yourself freely to consorting with the sensual joy of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many scents. Does that sound frivolous? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it is. I believe it would have a deeply calming and grounding effect on you. It would anchor you more thoroughly in the here and now of your actual life, and inspire you to shed any fantasies that you should be different from who you are.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hardest thing you will ever do is trust yourself,â&#x20AC;? says Libran journalist Barbara Walters. Really? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think so. In my experience, the hardest thing to do is to consistently treat ourselves with the loving care we need to be mentally and physically healthy. But I do acknowledge that trusting ourselves is also an iffy task for many of us. And yet thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often because we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t habitually give ourselves the loving care we need to be healthy. How can we trust ourselves if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put in the work necessary to ensure our vitality? But hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the good news, Libra: In the coming weeks, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to be extra motivated and intuitively astute whenever you improve the way you nurture yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn anything when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to look like the smartest person in the room,â&#x20AC;? writes author Barbara Kingsolver. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a useful message for you right now. Why? Because you will soon be exposed to teachings that could change your life for the better. And if you hope to be fully available for those teachings, you must be extra receptive and curious and open-mindedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which means you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to seem like you already know everything you need to know.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided not to use quotes by famous writers whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve endorsed bigoted ideas. In the future, my horoscopes wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mention the work of T. S. Eliot, Roald Dahl, V. S. Naipaul, Edith Wharton, Kingsley Amis, H. P. Lovecraft, Flannery Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor, Rudyard Kipling, and Louis-Ferdinand Celine. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry to see them go, because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned a lot from some of them. And I understand that many were reflecting attitudes that were widespread in their era and milieu. But as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve deepened my commitment to fighting prejudice, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to the conclusion that I personally donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to engage with past perpetrators. Now, in accordance with current astrological omens, I invite you to take an inventory of your own relationship with bigoted influencesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and consider making some shifts in your behavior.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn chemist Tu YouYou doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a medical degree or PhD. Yet she discovered a treatment for malaria that has saved millions of lives. The drug was derived from an ancient herbal medicine that she spent years tracking down. In part because of her lack of credentials, she remained virtually unsung from the time she helped come up with the cure in 1977 until she won a Nobel Prize in 2015. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most unsung about your accomplishments, Capricorn? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a much better chance than usual that it will finally be appreciated in the coming months.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Luck is what happens to you when fate gets tired of waiting,â&#x20AC;? says author Gregory David Roberts. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true, I expect that a surge of luck will flow your way soon. According to my astrological analysis, fate has grown impatient waiting for you to take the actions that would launch your life storyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next chapter. Hopefully, a series of propitious flukes will precipitate the postponed but necessary transformations. My advice? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t question the unexpected perks. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get in their way. Allow them to work their magic.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Have you formulated wily plans and crafty maneuvers to help you navigate through the labyrinthine tests and trials up ahead? I hope so. If you hope to solve the dicey riddles and elude the deceptive temptations, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to use one of your best old tricksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and come up with a new trick, as well. But please keep this important caveat in mind: To succeed, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily have to break the rules. It may be sufficient merely to make the rules more supple and flexible.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

COMPILED BY ANDREWS McMEEL SYNDICATION Compelling Explanations In June, Connecticut State Police investigating a December armed robbery outside the Golden Palace Chinese Restaurant in Norwich arrived at the Corrigan Correctional Center in Montville to obtain a DNA sample from Gregory Blue, 38, who first accused police of planting his DNA at the scene of the robbery before telling them “a phlebotomist who took his blood years ago dropped his DNA at the scene via airplane,” according to authorities. Investigators had found blood at the scene of the robbery and on hats the unidentified 45-year-old victim said had been left by the assailant. The Connecticut Post reported the DNA samples matched, according to the arrest warrant, and on Sept. 25, Blue was charged with first-degree robbery and second-degree assault.

News That Sounds Like a Joke • Larry Stothers, 41, and Jayson Rappa, 31, were arrested on Sept. 26 in Largo, Florida, and charged with strong-arm robbery after allegedly stealing a prosthetic leg, according to The Smoking Gun. Police say they were called by the victim after Stothers and Rappa confronted him over a stolen backpack, “and in the course of the fight, a prosthetic leg was taken from the victim.” Court records did not reveal the whereabouts of the leg. • An aggressive Muscovy duck named Bob in Mansfield, England, has terrorized postman Steve Hinds to the point that Hinds has refused to deliver mail to the duck’s owners until they contain him, The Scottish Sun reported. Hinds told the Sun that on Oct. 3, “The duck started hissing at me and ... it ran me up the path snapping its beak.” The apologetic owners left a Crunchie candy bar as a peace offering for Hinds and a note reading, “He used to be lovely and cuddly. Now he is a vicious sex-maniac! We have fenced him in and hopefully he won’t escape.” But two days later, Bob escaped the fence and came after Hinds again. At press time, the standoff continues.

Anger Management Justin Anthony Garcia, 30, of Lehigh Acres, Florida, landed in the Lee County Jail on Sept. 27 on charges of aggravated battery following a heated argument over which is better: whole milk or almond milk, reported Fox 23 News. Deputies of the Lee County Sheriff’s Office were called to the scene after the disagreement between two cousins escalated from verbal to physical, according to court documents, eventually ending with Garcia drawing a pocketknife and chasing his cousin through the front yard, cutting

him on the torso. An uncle intervened and separated the two until deputies arrived, but the arrest complaint does not say which type of milk Garcia prefers.

Least Competent Criminals • Three men are on the run in Philadelphia after a botched ATM burglary on Oct. 2, the Associated Press reported. The men entered a Chinese takeout restaurant and ordered food, then set off an explosive device while they waited that damaged an ATM, but they couldn’t remove the cash box inside the machine, police said. They escaped empty-handed on foot and bicycle, and police are still searching for them. • Alice Lavern Henry, 47, of Lake Wales, Florida, told a clerk at Griner’s Jewelry in Winter Haven that she had found the ring she brought in to sell while treasure-hunting on a beach. The clerk became suspicious when she noticed the ring, valued at more than $1,000, had no damage, and investigators later determined it was part of a collection that had been stolen from the store in a July burglary, according to the Winter Haven Police Department. The Ledger reported that police also learned Henry had visited another jewelry store on several occasions in September, attempting to sell other rings from Griner’s collection. She was arrested Oct. 4 on charges of felony grand theft.

Great Art! Passersby were in awe as 32 tons of raw carrots were dumped from a large truck onto a road running through the University of London campus on Sept. 30. The carrots were an art installation presented as part of the Goldsmiths art college Master of Fine Arts degree show by student Rafael Perez Evans, who titled his work “Grounding” and said it is designed to raise awareness about food waste, United Press International reported. The show ran from Oct. 2-6, and “Rafael has arranged for the carrots to be removed at the end of the exhibition and donated to animals,” a university spokesperson said.

Recent Alarming Headlines In White Marsh, Maryland, a person driving past the closed Rustic Inn bar on the morning of Oct. 7 saw what they thought was a Halloween decoration in the parking lot, WJZ reported. After dou-

bling back, the driver determined it was a dead body, and “the body has suffered some sort of trauma,” said Jennifer Peach of the Baltimore County Police Department. Peach went on to appeal for tips from the public: “We don’t have a lot of information at this point.”

A Shoppe for All Seasons

Entrepreneurial Spirit • Two young men soliciting residents in Covina, California, for donations for the Covina High School football team ran into a problem when they appeared at the door of a resident who quickly questioned them: “It’s funny you bring that up, because I know for a fact that you guys don’t go to Covina because I teach there ... I’m a football coach.” When neither of the alleged scammers could name the head coach, they left, Fox11 reported on Oct. 7, and the football team tweeted confirmation that the two were not with the program. • Hotels.com is offering one lucky customer the opportunity to “live under a rock” to escape “election stress disorder” during election week Nov. 2-7, United Press International reports. The accommodations in a manmade cave 50 feet below ground in New Mexico will cost just $5 per night. “Political fatigue is real, regardless of the year or election,” said Josh Belkin, vice president of Hotels.com. “Who knows what else 2020 has in store for us.”

Wait, What? A Japanese buyer with very precise requirements has paid a record $14,000 for a 22-pound traditional Iberian ham, Oddity Central reported. Julio Revilla, president of Sierra Mayor Jabugo, in Corteconcepcion, Spain, said the ham was produced according to the buyer’s strict instructions: It had to come from an Iberian pig at least 2 years old that had grazed on a diet of only acorns and herbs in the mountains of Sierra Mayor for at least 100 days. The pig was slaughtered in 2015 and the ham was then cured for five years—twice the amount of time for a typical premium ham. It was delivered to the buyer in September, who was also awarded with a Guinness World Record certificate. p Send your weird news items with subject line WEIRD NEWS to WeirdNewsTips@amuniversal.com.

minutes from the letters in: Witch Hazel (40 words)

A popular flowering, deciduous garden shrub, Witch Hazel leaves and bark were originally used by Native Americans for minor medicinal needs. The word could be from Middle English Wiche or Wych describing the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pliantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bendableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; property of the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s branches. But this flexible attribute was apparently appreciated by witches who used the branches as divining rods to find water. So which Wiche, Wych, Witch is correct? Wye whorry? Scoring: 31 - 40 = Aloft; 26 - 30 = Ahead; 21 - 25 = Aweigh; 16 - 20 = Amidships; 11 - 15 = Aboard; 05 - 10 = Adrift; 01 - 05 = Aground
