Making the Best Out of 2020

T

here’s a clichéd phrase we’ve heard a lot this year: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

I think it’s safe to say we’ve made a LOT of lemonade in 2020. But here’s a new spin on the concept: when life gives you rotten pumpkins, make compost.

Okay, it doesn’t have the same ring to it as the lemonade proverb, but it’s a great example of finding opportunity in a rotten situation.

Over the weekend Annapolis Green, a grassroots environmental group with endless enthusiasm, collected leftover Halloween pumpkins to turn into “pumpkin spice compost” come spring. Their first weekend collecting was a big success: In just the first 24 hours, volunteers filled at least 10 large garbage cans with pumpkins that had seen better days.

Those sad pumpkins will get new life as compost, which can be pre-ordered as holiday gifts and then used as a natural fertilizer, in place of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. All that from old, shriv-

eled, past-their-prime pumpkins that would otherwise be thrown away. Something bad transforms into something good.

In the midst of another COVID19 spike—and the just-announced pandemic restrictions that come with the spike—we have little choice but to try and transform something bad it into something good. For weeks we’d been planning a cover story for this issue on restaurants in Chesapeake Country—how they’re planning for the colder months when outdoor dining gets uncomfortable, what challenges they’re facing, and how they’re making the best of the challenges.

We didn’t know just how relevant the story would be, until the 11th hour of our weekly deadline, when state and local officials began to walk back capacity limits to try and slow the sudden renewed spread of the virus. We do know that restaurants from Solomons to Annapolis’ City Dock are going to great lengths to serve customers safely and keep them comfortable (see page 11). And we know these businesses are going

On September 13, over 220 individuals convened by Zoom to hear an expert panel and then meet in small groups to explore inequities in health care in Southern Maryland. This eighth Big Conversation was led by Middleham and St. Peter’s Parish and its 21 community organization partners spanning the three Southern Maryland counties. The success of the forum in this time of COVID-19 was attributable to how well the partners contributed their talents and resources. In particular, the Big Conversation steering committee acknowledges the work of the Mediation Centers of Calvert, St. Mary’s, and Charles Counties and Calvert Library. The mediation centers served as small group facilitators. Calvert Library provided the technology resources needed to turn the annual Big Conversation into an online event. The Library is committed to this partnership and taking an active role in making the community stronger.

The purpose of the Big Conversation is to bring the community 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

to need our support this winter, more than ever before.

Some restaurants that weathered the first round of COVID-19 shutdowns are still operating at a deficit, and riding out a second wave may be near impossible. When you can, please support your local food spots— whether you’re dining in an outdoor tent under a heater or picking up dinner to-go. I’ve been rotating to-go meals each Saturday, which helps businesses and also gives me a great excuse not to cook on a Saturday.

Some courageous food-sellers are even opening for the first time in this tough climate. Dangerously

Delicious Pies (of Food Network fame) just opened their first Annapolis shop this week, ready for Thanksgiving, their busiest holiday (more on page 10). I probably don’t have to strong-arm you to buy a slice of decadent pie in the name of supporting small business.

There’s no question the current pandemic is as rotten as a November pumpkin. Restauranteurs across the region are doing their best to make good compost, and all we have to do is buy it. p — MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM NEWS DIRECTOR

Spat-on-shell before it is planted at the Herring Bay Oyster Sanctuary. Image: Cheryl Costello.

VOLUNTEERS PLANT 200,000 OYSTERS IN HERRING BAY

BY CHERYL COSTELLO

A

two-year-old oyster sanctuary gets a boost from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and a devoted group of volunteers from Advocates for Herring Bay. The group gave up their Sunday morning to plant spat-on-shell on an historic reef they hope will soon host wild oyster reproduction all on its own.

We went along for the ride in Tracys Landing.

It all started with spat-on-shell, or “SOS”, as oyster restoration pros call it.

Volunteer Raelynn Stackpoole is a Bay oyster newbie, but she’s a quick learner.

“Spat is when the larvae attach to the big oyster shell and then they become spat.” Stackpoole is from Maine, but her husband’s job has her in Maryland for two months. So she started volunteering with Advocates for Herring Bay. “The whole world benefits when we clean up pollution,” she tells Bay Bulletin. “It’s a global community.”

Stackpoole and several other volunteers gathered Sunday morning to count a sample of spat-on-shell. They estimate about 200,000 oysters will be placed on recycled shells in the Herring Bay Oyster Sanctuary with the help of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.

The planted oysters help clear the water, which allows sunlight to reach underwater grasses, and take some excess algae and nitrogen out of the water to avoid more dead zones. “[Recycled shells] usually come from a restaurant, a shucking house, or a bull and oyster roast—anywhere that people are eating oysters and then want to donate the oysters,” explains CBF’s Maryland Oyster Restoration Specialist Patrick Beall. “Oysters begin their life as a larva. They’re free-floating larva for around two weeks. So we put clean shells, empty and sterilized, into a setting tank. They’re placed in bags and we

4 • BAY WEEKLY • November 12 - November 19, 2020

flood those tanks with Bay water.”

The shells make it out to the Herring Bay reef, where they fall roughly 10 feet with the hope of expanding the reef that was previously identified by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources as an historic bottom where oysters used to thrive.

The planted oysters help clear the water, which allows sunlight to reach underwater grasses, and take some excess algae and nitrogen out of the water to avoid more dead zones.

Over time, CBF and Advocates for Herring Bay hope to create a naturally reproducing oyster reef at the planting location. “That shell is just a home; it’s a base for the spat… but over time it’s going to continue to grow; it naturally wants to grow up toward light. And so over time, the reef structure kind of grows and locks together,” says Beall.

State Senator Sarah Elfreth was part of the planting effort, too. She calls oysters a “contentious issue” that she’ll continue to work on in the 2021 legislative session, including “what needs to be done in terms of planting, where we should focus… what needs to be done in terms of catch limits and the ways we harvest oysters.” She acknowledges it’s “an emotional issue for a lot of folks, people who have their livelihoods based on populations of oysters.”

Volunteers will check on the oysters at Herring Bay periodically to see if their original estimate of 200,000 grows.

MD:THINK BEFORE YOU SHRINK WHEN BOAT WINTERIZING

BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

t comes every year with the change of seasons: boats all over the Chesapeake region get bundled up in their snug white shrink wrap for the cold months ahead.

It’s a practical move, protecting your boat from the elements, but it creates large amounts of plastic waste every spring.

This year, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is asking boaters and marinas to pursue a more environmentally-friendly boat cover material. Their new “Think Before You Shrink” campaign urges people to convert to reusable covers. It may even be more cost-effective, DNR says.

“Semi-custom, reusable covers are readily available for most small boats (under 30 feet) at about the same cost as two years of shrink wrap. The reusable covers last five to ten years and can be repaired or cleaned to extend their life,” DNR points out.

DNR is getting the word out to boaters through the Maryland Clean Marina Program, marinas, boatyards and yacht clubs. You can ask your marina or local marine store for help buying, cleaning or repairing a cover. The Marine Trades Association of Maryland (MTAM) website has a list of marinas and canvas workers.

“Semi-custom, reusable covers are readily available for most small boats at about the same cost as two years of shrink wrap. The reusable covers last five to ten years and can be repaired or cleaned to extend their life,” DNR points out. awards marinas for their voluntary efforts to protect the environment as well as for meeting legal requirements, is adding criteria to encourage businesses to promote reusable covers, and to properly recycle their shrink wrap in the spring.

Nearly 25 percent of Maryland’s estimated 600 marinas are already designated as Clean Marinas or Clean Marina Partners, and DNR hopes to keep increasing that number.

BAY BULLETIN THEATRE AND DANCE COMPANY COLLABORATE ON ANNAPOLIS PERFORMANCES AFTER DARK

BY CHERYL COSTELLO

A

t a time when live performances are hard to come by, Maryland Theatre for the Performing Arts and a local dance company are putting on a unique outdoor contemporary dance show in Annapolis.

Taking place after dark, “Still Standing” is a way for Orange Grove Dance performers to connect with audiences by following the light.

“We run. We emerge out of the darkness. We shine our lights on each other and we’re trying to connect from these distances that we didn’t always have to do as dancers. We used to be able to be much closer to each other,” says Orange Grove Dance Artistic Director Matt Reeves.

The show incorporates more than 170 light displays at MTPA’s Park Place outdoor space, near the Annapolis National Cemetery. It’s the first live performance for many of the dancers since March. The artistic directors, Reeves and his wife Colette Krogol, built the performance around the venue, which can seat 50 people even with social distancing in effect.

“We’re hoping that ‘Still Standing’ can be something that audiences or people who hear it can find some sort of connection with in terms of the hopeful nature of this time right now, where we’re in

the middle of a pandemic and there’s so much distance in between us and divide and the idea of how as a community can we come together,” Krogol tells CBM Bay Weekly.

The performing groups also have an eye on future goals. The outdoor space where the performances are held may be home to a future performing arts center. MTPA is a non-profit with a mission to raise more than $70 million to build a cultural and conference center in the open space.

“We are imagining a new performing arts building that is for all of the arts groups here in Annapolis, as well as traveling and international performances. It’s a 1,200-seat main stage theater. We call it a flexible theatre, meaning the seats drop into the floor

and it opens up so you can use it for a conference, a trade show and any type of performance you can imagine,” says MTPA Executive Director Mattie Fenton.

With enough money raised, construction on Phase One could begin next year. The first phase would bring a smaller space to start—350 seats and a veterans’ overlook.

“We’re one of nine state capitals in the United States that do not have a world class performing arts center. And we need that in Annapolis,” says MTPA Board Member Midgett Parker.

The “Still Standing” performance is a good start. On opening weekend, the performances were sold out. The unseasonably warm weather warmed many hearts. Audience member Kristen Kissik tells us, “With everything going on right now, oh my gosh, I could do a happy dance myself. My heart is overflowing and I’m so thrilled.”

Performers say it gave them a chance to connect again with a live audience.

“Coming up over the hill and seeing the audience, we felt a connection right there. Even though we were far apart, we know we all had come together for the same reason,” Reeves says.

When performances wrap up this weekend, there are more chances to check out other shows in the outdoor venue, with a calendar of events that extends through next year.

This weekend’s performances are Nov. 13 & 14, 6pm & 7:30pm. Tickets: https://www. mtpa-annapolis.org/performances/.

Maryland Health Dept Launches COVID Alert App Marylanders can now receive exposure notifications on smartphones

BY KATHY KNOTTS

A

new app is making it easier for Maryland residents to know if they have been exposed to someone with COVID-19.

Earlier this week, the Maryland Department of Health announced the launch of MD COVID Alert, the official COVID-19 Exposure Notifications Express system of Maryland. MD COVID Alert uses Bluetooth Low Energy technology to quickly notify users who might have been exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19 with the goal of reducing infections in Maryland.

“MD COVID Alert complements our traditional contact tracing efforts to notify users of possible exposure to help contain the virus,” said MDH Secretary Robert Neall.

Marylanders with an iPhone or Android smartphone will receive a push notification inviting them to receive exposure notification alerts. iPhone users will be able to opt in by enabling exposure notifications in their phone’s settings and selecting Maryland as their region. Android users will be prompted to opt in by installing the MD COVID Alert app from the Google Play Store.

MD COVID Alert is available at no cost and is voluntary. Users can disable exposure notifications at any time.

The app assigns users a random number that changes every 10 to 20 minutes via Bluetooth so that it cannot be used to identify users or their whereabouts.

On a daily basis, a user’s phone downloads a list of all the random IDs associated with verified positive COVID-19 cases and checks them against the random IDs users have encountered in the two days prior to the positive test or symptom onset. If there is a match, the system will notify users of the date of exposure. No other information about the exposure is shared. Users who receive an exposure alert are advised to get tested, monitor for symptoms, and quarantine.

Some users may receive a call from a contact tracer if their information is shared by an individual with COVID-19.

Users of the app remain anonymous, their location is never tracked, and no data is collected from their smartphones. Using Bluetooth technology, the system can detect if two devices are near each other without revealing where the devices are or who they belong to.

“Privacy is important. MD COVID Alert does not collect, transmit, or store personal information of users, and the system is completely anonymous,” said Dr. Katherine Feldman, MDH Contact Tracing Unit Director. “We’re asking Marylanders to add their smartphones to the fight against COVID-19 by using MD COVID Alert.”

While the new app is useful, experts caution that it is not a substitute for traditional contact tracing or for preventative public health measures that include wearing a mask, social distancContinued on next page

he Nova-C Lunar Lander is slated to launch in the fall of 2021, and when it gets to the moon, it’s going to take a selfie. One of the people behind that selfie is a student from right here in Chesapeake Country.

Ahead of the United States’ crewed return to the moon in 2024, the Nova-C Lunar Lander will launch a science and technology payload to a valley in the Ocean of Storms. Though “selfie” may not be the technical term used at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla., their EagleCam team plans to take the first-ever third-person shot of a spacecraft making an extraterrestrial landing.

Ph.D. aerospace engineering student David Zuehlke of Millersville has spent the past year working on a camera unit that can be deployed from the Nova-C and document its landing. Supported by a network of national scientists, Embry-Riddle’s EagleCam team—three engineering professors along with a large interdisciplinary team of students—is designing a camera and communication system, or CubeSat, to launch to the moon and shoot the astronomical selfie.

Just before approach, the CubeSat will deploy and freefall 100 feet to the surface to give the world its first glimpse of the spacecraft’s lunar landing.

Ph.D. aerospace engineering student David Zuehlke of Millersville has spent the past year working on a camera unit that can be deployed from the Nova-C and document its landing.

One of just 20 students involved in the mission, Zuehlke is on the Launcher team, tasked with determining how the unit will move once it has been deployed from the lander and calibrating the cameras accordingly.

Zuehlke’s military family moved frequently while he was growing up, but landed in Millersville in 2005, where Zuehlke stayed until going to college. “That’s mostly where I grew up, so that’s why I call Maryland home,” Zuehlke said.

Dr. Troy Henderson is his advisor.

Henderson has been an associate professor of aerospace engineering at Embry-Riddle for six years and specializes in spacecraft dynamics and control. His courses in orbital mechanics deal with problems similar to what the EagleCam team has been working with.

Henderson explained that Steve Altemus, president and CEO of Intuitive Machines and alumni of his department at Embry-Riddle, proposed a challenge to the school’s Dean of Engineering. “If

In May 2019, NASA announced that Intuitive Machines was selected for one of their first commercial lunar payload programs. Shortly after Intuitive Machines had secured their contract, the EagleCam team was formed and put to work.

“The outcome of this project is so much more than just a picture,” Henderson said. “We can build a 3D map of what our camera sees to a fairly accurate model.”

By taking a series of pictures from five different cameras and tracking their movement and rotation after deployment, the EagleCam team will be able

to digitally recreate the local topography of the moon, says Henderson. From there it will capture the dust plume kicked up in the lander’s final touchdown, he added.

Aside from EagleCam’s goal of capturing the first third-person point of view image of a spacecraft landing on another celestial body, this mission will utilize the first Wi-Fi communication system on the moon, Henderson said.

“Out of a very small package with a couple of cameras that started off as a student challenge, this has grown into something significantly more,” Henderson said.

As for Zuehlke, in the future he plans on working in space surveillance, or keeping tabs on potentially dangerous orbital debris.

Henry and his pie style have been featured on Food Network shows Chopped, Down Home with the Neelys and Paula’s Home Cooking and was runner-up on the network’s culinary competition show, Food Network Star.

“What makes our pies so delicious is the fact that we really care about the ingredients and the process,” Henry says.

“Pie is a vehicle to transport awesome ingredients, sweet or savory, to your mouth. You want to let the ingredients do the talking and not muck it up with too many contrasting flavors.”

Henry got his start in the pie industry at a dive bar in Baltimore. But his interest began much earlier. “I’ve been fascinated by pie since I was about 7 or 8 years old,” Henry says.

He remembers clearly the day that his great aunt sent him and his sister to a greasy-spoonstyle diner in Seymour, Ind., with two quarters.

“We walked in through the diamond-plated steel doors into my version of paradise,” Henry says. “Naugahyde stools. Bright shiny stainless steel everywhere and an amazing refrigerated display case of the most amazing stuff I’d ever seen.”

Finding himself captivated by pies made with lemon meringue, cherry and chocolate cream, Henry and his sister took seats on the stools and stared at the offerings. “My sister had a slice of

lemon meringue and I went for a glazed pie with raisins,” Henry says. “We were in heaven. Not just the pie, but the whole experience. I was hooked.”

The pie he enjoyed that day turned out to be French apple—which remains his personal favorite. “Apple pie is a good way to gauge a person’s pie-making prowess,” Henry says. “You can tell a lot by how it’s made. Whether it’s seasoned properly, the crust being tasty. Everybody’s apple pie is different. Whether you’re at a bakery or someone’s house.

Every pie is different.”

The new shop—located at 212 West Street—will offer sweet and savory pies, quiches—and wine and beer. “COVID19 has definitely been a huge pain. It’s pushed back everything,” Henry says.

“Construction, working with the city of Annapolis, power. Everything.”

The Annapolis location will be operated by Chris and Kimberly Miller, but you’ll likely spot Henry in the kitchen.

“I’ll be helping out and spending a good portion of my time there,” Henry says.

Henry has some advice for home pie bakers as Thanksgiving approaches.

“Stress is an enemy of pie,” Henry says.

“When Thanksgiving comes around, stress will try and mess with you. It’s pie. It should be fun. Crust is the same.

Don’t over work it. Don’t over salt it and let it roll. That’s how it’s worked for me—although the fact that I’ve probably made half a million crusts at least in my lifetime helps.”

COZY UP TO WINTER DINING B Y K R I S TA P F U N D E R

A

FEW YEARS AGO, I visited Montreal during the fall. Bundled up for temperatures that felt more like winter to a native Marylander, I discovered that restaurants had outdoor spaces for diners, complete

with tents and heaters.

The atmosphere was romantic, charming and reminiscent of a winter wonderland.

Fast forward to November 2020, when COVID-19 cases are back on the rise, and many restaurants in our

area are recreating that picturesque French Canadian scene, complete with tents, heaters, blankets and fires.

Restaurant owners want to extend the outdoor dining season as long as possible for their customers.

DINING CONTINUED

“As the temperatures have been dropping, we have noticed a drop in diners; especially at night.”

“Most of our customers are very good about being compliant with guidelines, and that includes preferring eating outdoors over indoors,” says Jan Travers, co-owner of Westlawn Inn North Beach.

“Some bring blankets, two jackets and come a little earlier than they usually dine.”

And in an effort to keep the added outdoor space, local food establishments are transitioning their outdoor dining areas for fall and winter.

“Many of the restaurants in downtown Annapolis are putting up tents for the winter for those that prefer to dine outdoors,” says Erik Evans with the Downtown Annapolis Partnership. “The tents will be heated, have socially distanced tables and plenty of air circulation.”

As the cooler weather arrives, five restaurants in downtown Annapolis: Federal House, McGarvey’s, Middleton Tavern, Market House and Iron Rooster— referred to by their respective owners as the Market Space restaurants—are among those adding tents.

The five restaurants used the roadway next to the restaurants to accommodate outdoor diners when the city allowed them to use street space after the pandemic hit.

“We will have five separate tents with

sides to separate the stores,” says Jeremy Black, owner of Federal House.

“I’ve left the covering off this weekend since it’s supposed to be nice out. My tent goes up on Monday. I’ll put two sides of the tent up—those between Iron Rooster and Market House—but will leave the other two sides off until nature decided they need to go up.”

Other restaurants are doing their best to keep diners comfortable, even without tents. The Westlawn Inn restaurant features a large wrap-around porch that they plan on keeping open as an option for diners.

“The porch will be open for fall and winter,” Travers says. “If people want to sit outside, they can. We have a couple of space heaters and blankets we are offering,” Travers says.

Newly opened Smashing Grapes in Annapolis features a large outdoor patio area popular with customers. “We have heaters and firepits,” says restaurateur James King, of Smashing Grapes.

“Many of our patrons are still utiliz-

ing our outdoor dining area on a daily basis.”

At Skipper’s Pier in Deale, the semiopen air atrium dining area boasts a fireplace to keep customers warm.

“Trust that we are providing a safe— and cozy—place for you to dine,” Skipper’s Pier co-owner Jessica Rosage says.

Transition Isn’t Without Challenges

The unexpected demand for space heaters and tents has made acquiring them difficult for area restaurants.

“It’s been quite the struggle to find space heaters,” Travers says. She checked online at a local Home Depot as the number of available units quickly dropped while her husband, co-owner Lee Travers, was en route to purchase them.

The North Beach restaurant ended up being able to purchase two table-top size heaters.

“We have had no issues finding space heaters,” Smashing Grapes’ King says.

“But what we have found is that they are taking longer to ship than usual.”

Federal House experienced the same.

The heaters for the downtown restaurant are not expected to arrive until November 16.

“I ordered them in early September,” Black says. It took Black five weeks to get a tent. But he considers himself lucky to have found one at all. “Some restaurants have been forced to rent tents,” Black says.

Also challenging is planning for the future and yet-to-be-determined diner demand. “We have no data to go by,” Black says. The downtown restaurant—which is fully booked for Saturday—points out that this experience is new. “We don’t yet know how to handle it,” Black says.

Not all restaurants are experiencing the same popularity the Federal House is seeing. “As the temperatures have been dropping, we have noticed a drop in diners; especially at night,” says Jayleen Fonseca, co-owner of JesseJays in Churchton. “Our dinner service ends quicker and earlier than before. With the expected surge in cases, I believe we may be required to go back to carry-out only again. These are definitely uncertain and uneasy times.”

“Our sales have dropped a lot,” Skippers Pier’s Rosage says. “We need local support to get through the winter.”

Another challenge is keeping up with ever-changing guidelines and rules— and getting answers from overwhelmed health departments. “Guidelines can be very subjective and the health department (particularly to restaurants) has not been good at returning calls when messages are left,” Rosage says.

“I’ve told my staff to expect that it will almost be like we’re back in May,” Black says. “Most likely guidelines will change almost daily.”

State Assistance

Governor Hogan recently announced additional COVID-19 relief programs for restaurants. The state will give out a total of $50 million across each county and Baltimore City, based on the number of restaurants in the area.

Anne Arundel County will receive just over $5 million and Calvert will receive $646,295.

Anne Arundel County is matching the state’s offer, committing $5 million of its federal funding to the grant program, bringing the total available to restaurants to $10 million. Anne Arundel County businesses can use the grants to cover operating expenses like rent, payroll and utilities, personal protective equipment, cleaning, and buildingtheir online presence.

The application period for the Anne Arundel County grants is expected to open in mid-November.

Calvert County began disbursing funds from the grant program Nov. 9 and will continue through Dec. 11, or until all funds are expended. Small restaurants (with one to seven employees) may receive $10,000 and larger restaurants — (with eight or more full-time employees) may receive $15,000.

These funds may be used for rent, payroll or buying equipment to expand outdoor dining, such as tents or heaters.

As for the heaters that Federal House is still waiting on, they are industrial-grade and generate heat for 1,5002,000 square feet. The large heaters will sit outside of the tents and diffuse the air underneath, helping to keep air flowing.

To my delight, Black says that the name of the outdoor area will be Federal House Winter Wonderland—complete with hanging snowflakes. p

STORY AND PHOTO BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

The Helpful Hoverfly

I

have a couple of patches of purple-stemmed asters. They are one of the latest blooming flowers. Mine start blooming in late October and then continue until December. The flowers feed the late fall butterflies, moths and other pollinators. Today, I was hoping to find a butterfly on the flowers but it was too windy and cold. Instead, I found a colorful little fly, a hoverfly. They are considered a gardener’s helper, a beneficial insect.

The hoverfly has markings that imitate a bee or wasp and frequently move their abdomen in a way that implies that a stinger is present.

Yet, they have no stinger and do not bite. They are typically under

one half inch in size and with 600 species, are found almost worldwide.

As their name implies, the little flies will hover in place, usually over a flower. When a group of them are around, especially in mating season, they will do some aerial dog-fights.

I saw a pair of flies eat both pollen and nectar, so they are certainly important for pollinating certain crops.

Several of the species of hoverfly found in Maryland have a larval form that eats aphids and small caterpillars. Gardening groups suggest planting plants with small flowers to help attract hoverflies in order to control aphids on garden plants. p

Blackout Dates for Lawn Fertilizer Applications Take Effect

BY KATHY KNOTTS

I

f you have plans to fertilize your lawn next week, the Maryland Dept. of Agriculture would like to remind you that you will have to wait till spring. The Maryland Lawn Fertilizer Law, passed in 2013, means that residents and lawn-care professionals can not apply fertilizers containing phosphorus and nitrogen between Nov. 16 and Feb. 28.

An exception exists for lawn-care professionals, who may apply up to 0.5 pound of soluble or insoluble nitrogen per 1,000 square feet to lawns they manage until December 1.

The nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus are the key ingredients in lawn fertilizer but when it rains, those excess nutrients enter our waterways and the Chesapeake Bay. Once in the water, the fertilizer contributes to algae blooms that block sunlight from reaching our vital Bay grasses, robbing the water of oxygen and threatening the species that live there.

Potassium and lime may still be applied during the blackout dates since they are not considered a threat to

Organic fertilizers that don’t contain phosphorus and nitrogen can be used any time of the year. Photo: Ashley Wheaton via Wikipedia water quality. All fertilizer products are labeled with three numbers indicating the percentage of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (N, P, and K).

Citizens and lawn-care professionals may resume lawn-fertilizer applications containing nitrogen and phosphorus on March 1 as long as the ground is not frozen or heavy rain is not predicted. A soil test is required before phosphorus may be applied to established lawns.

16 • BAY WEEKLY • November 12 - November 19, 2020

Fertilizer products should also not be used to melt ice and snow on steps, sidewalks, driveways, or other paved surfaces. Applying fertilizer to hard or frozen ground provides a direct pathway for nutrient runoff into storm drains that feed into the Bay. Maryland’s Lawn Fertilizer Law requires lawn-care professionals to be licensed and certified by the Maryland Dept. of Agriculture to apply fertiliz-

er to the properties they manage. A list of certified professionals can be found on the department’s website.

e are living in the best of times these days, if only for cold weather clothing. There has never been such an availability of apparel that are so temperature effective and affordable.

There are three main categories to consider when dressing for bad weather: head, hand and foot warmth; core body temp control; and foul weather protection.

While the main difficulty seems to be the sometimes overly auspicious marketing claims of manufacturers, there are simple answers as to the critical materials in each category that can make decisions easier.

A good, warm hat is a wise first choice, but hand and foot warmth is also essential. Mittens are always warmer than gloves and waterproof materials are important in rainy and snowy weather. Wool will keep you warm even when wet, synthetic insulation generally won’t, and feather down is useless once sodden. Beyond those choices the options come down to simply style.

For footwear, the best extreme weather material in snow and wet weather has proven to be neoprene.

only fully waterproof but provide superior warmth and comfort. There are a number of manufacturers that are top tier choices but for general outdoor applications, I have to disclose that my overwhelming favorite is the Muck boot, though you can’t really go wrong with any of the other major producers.

Socks have always been a simple decision and for overall warmth there is only one choice: wool. Thickness will define the level of comfort and heat retention but when in doubt, wearing two pairs will be warmer than one.

Wool will keep your feet warm despite perspiration or leaky footwear and are available virtually everywhere. My favorite brand is Wigwam.

Core (body) temp control has also become a simple affair. Synthetic base layer clothing (previously referred to as underwear) are the key to comfort. The warmest level of protection is provided by expedition-weight items and the superior material in my opinion is synthetic fleece. Higher quality base layer items are of more complex fleece construction and geared to intense sporting activities like skiing, hiking, sailing and climbing. These provide superior moisture control from perspiration as well as excellent heat retention.

More sedentary activities such as spectator sports, duck or deer hunting, fishing or bird watching can be handled by any of the less expensive options made of 100 percent fleece. Again, the deciding factors for base layers will be comfort and style. The warmest uppers are the zippered, high-necked models and the warmest option of all is the one-piece “union suit.”

Additional clothing layers are a matter of style choice and prevailing weather conditions. Moderately cold weather welcomes a cotton or flannel shirt on top while more extreme con-

ditions dictate an additional wool or insulated piece.

Foul weather coats and pants are the final level of protection against the most extreme conditions of wet, cold and wind with the deciding factor being breathability. Will the outer shell allow water vapor (perspiration) to pass through, providing superior cold weather comfort? Fully waterproof models are less expensive, yet warm and windproof, but pose a problem of moisture retention. That can eventually cause your inner layers to dampen and get cold, so beware.

A last, and particularly handy winter accessory, is a simple, chemical handwarmer. Developed for hunters, skiers, sailors and wintertime anglers, these small packets of iron oxide (rusting iron particles) generate a comfortable level of warmth for hours when exposed to air. Available in many models designed for hands, foot or body applications, they can be a welcome comfort when enduring extreme exposure or with clothing that proves only marginally effective. They are inexpensive and have a long shelf life so it’s sensible to keep a supply on hand in the home and in your vehicles and watercraft.

Always be prepared, it’s going to get cold outside. p WEDNESDAY

young woman forces a wire into her skull, turning a dial on an apparatus until her teeth are bared in a rictus grin. Moments later, she goes to work, where she drives a steak knife into the throat of a wealthy attorney over and over until nothing but a spray of viscera is left. As the police arrive, she looks confused as to why she’s holding a weapon. She should be confused; she didn’t kill anyone.

The young woman is the latest victim of Tasya Vos (Andrea Riseborough: The Grudge), a corporate assassin who kills her targets by possessing a random person, forcing them to commit a horrific crime, and then either convincing her host to commit suicide or leaving them to the police. It’s a grisly occupation, but Tasya thrives in it.

She studies her hosts for days before possessing them, learning mannerisms and little turns of phrase. Her goal is to seamlessly blend into their lives, kill her mark, and flee.

Tasya is good at her job but she’s also become enamored with the violence. Instead of using company-provided guns, she’s started going for

visceral kills using her hands and reveling in the blood. Her handler finds it curious, but doesn’t want to question her most effective assassin. Tasya has also noticed the change and her newfound brutality convinces her to leave her family because she fears that she might hurt them.

With each possession, a little more of her humanity bleeds from her and things like feelings and relationships become hollower. Before she sees her son, she stands outside his house practicing expressions of love and enthusiasm. Unless she’s becoming someone, Tasya is a walking ghost. She loves entering the lives of others and the freedom that comes with it.

Her latest assignment is to take over Colin Tate (Christopher Abbott: Black Bear) and force him to kill his fiancé and soon-to-be father-in-law. But Tasya has trouble with her assignment. Colin’s consciousness begins to blur with her own. Can Tasya take over Colin? Or will he find a way into her mind?

Bloody, tense, and stunning to look at, Possessor is a fascinating and primal examination of what makes us unique and how each of us interact with our concepts of who we are. This is the gritty little cousin of films like Ex Machina and Freaky Friday. Writer/ director Brandon Cronenberg (Antiviral) creates a film that is beautiful in its brutality. Cronenberg is the son of

body-horror auteur David Cronenberg, and the need to craft ghastly scenes of blood and guts apparently runs in the family. Cronenberg uses Tasya’s fascination with violence and blood to symbolize the slippery grip she has on her own humanity. This leads to some disturbing but jaw dropping scenes.

Unfortunately, Possessor is a film about concepts more than story.

Cronenberg also inherited this filmmaking trait from his famous father.

This is a movie interested in spectacular visuals and challenging ideas but don’t look too deeply for plot or character development. For the most part the strong images outweigh the light script work, giving you plenty of gray areas to discuss afterwards.

Two brilliant performances from Riseborough and Abbott help carry Possessor over the line from visual experiment to cogent sci-fi thriller. As Tasya, Riseborough is a shell of a person. You can see the fissures cracking her façade as she attempts to inhabit her own body. Abbott does an excellent job of subtly shifting his performance to indicate whether Tasya or Colin is currently commanding his body. It’s a tricky thing to do without becoming hammy, and Abbott makes it look easy.

If you’re a fan of body horror or high concept sci-fi films, Possessor is a brilliant rental for an evening of highbrow gross-out fun.

• Two passengers traveling together on an American Airlines flight from Dallas to Miami on Oct. 30 were removed before taking off after one of the women attempted to sneak from coach into first class and hide in the footwell of her friend’s seat, Fox News reported. The flight had already been delayed because of a catering issue, according to a wit-

Deputies of the Anderson (Tennessee) County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a stolen log splitter in Marlow on Oct. 22, and discovered a severed finger among items left at the scene. Hugh Seeber, 50, later appeared at a local medical center with a missing finger, WATE reported, and was taken to UT Medical Center in Knoxville, where Anderson County Det. Sean Flynn met him with the severed digit. Seeber was charged with felony theft.

The San Diego City Council blocked funding last summer for its controversial smart streetlights program, which features not only streetlights but also a video surveillance system that has been used by the San Diego Police Department, and on Sept. 9, Mayor Kevin Faulconer ordered the cameras turned off.

But Voice of San Diego reported the cameras and streetlights are connected to the same power supply, so turning them off would have left the city in the dark. Florida-based Ubicquia owns the underlying technology, but the company has been reluctant to work with the city because of unpaid bills amounting to $771,000.

Meanwhile, the cameras are still recording and storing footage for five days.

Police in Boa Vista, Brazil, raided the home of prominent Sen. Chico Rodrigues on Oct. 14 as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged corruption and found the senator hiding the equivalent of $5,400 in his underwear. Rodrigues, 69, a close ally of President Jair Bolsonaro, who campaigned in 2018 on an anti-corruption platform, had no explanation for the money in his underwear, but claimed innocence, The Guardian reported. Brazilians quickly shared the news on social media, many commenting that the incident would go down “in the anals of history.”

Awesome!

Dwight Turner, 50, is suing the owner of a backyard animal sanctuary in Davie, Florida, after the “full-contact” encounter with a black leopard that he paid $150 for turned into a mauling. Investigators said sanctuary owner Michael Poggi sold Turner time with the leopard to “play with it, rub its belly and take pictures” on Aug. 31, but the leopard attacked as soon as Turner entered its enclosure, leaving his scalp “hanging from his head,” WPLG-TV reported. Authorities said Poggi is licensed to have the leopard, but he has been cited by Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation for allowing the contact and for maintaining captive wildlife in unsafe conditions.

• Julie McSorley of San Luis Obispo, California, and her friend Liz Cottriel were enjoying a sunny day of kayaking and whale-watching at Avila Beach on Nov. 2 when they were overturned by a humpback that got too close while feeding. “I saw the big pool of fish, the big bait ball come up out of the water. ... All of a sudden, I lifted up and I was in the water,” McSorley told KMPH. “I thought it was gonna land on me,” Cottriel said. Other paddleboarders and kayakers came to their rescue, thinking the whale may have bitten the women, but it merely pushed them underwater.

“We got back to the car, I was shaking my shirt and a bunch of fish came out of my shirt,” Cottriel said.

in Chicago. Hill continued and finished the first part of the test, then gave birth to a healthy son hours later at West Suburban Hospital in Oak Park, Illinois. She tackled the second part of the exam the next day, from the hospital, breastfeeding during breaks. The whole experience was “definitely a little crazy,” she said.

• A thief in Lippstadt, Germany, was foiled by his own booty on Oct. 27 as he tried to make off with a robotic lawnmower. The Associated Press reported that the robot sent a message to the owner’s smartphone, alerting the man that it had been flipped upside down. When the owner went to investigate, he saw the thief with the robot under his arm. Police said the thief then dropped the lawnmower and fled.

• Craig Hershoff of Miami has invented a robot to help people like himself who may have difficulty using the special contact lenses they wear for vision problems that can’t be helped with regular contacts. The Cliara Lens Robot can insert and remove the lenses by voice activation. “It really helps with dexterity,” Hershoff told WPLG, especially for elderly or disabled people. The robot is being tested in a clinical trial in Boston, and he hopes to have FDA clearance on it early next year.

• Fans of the Caledonian Thistle soccer team in Inverness, Scotland, were frustrated as they watched a broadcast of the club’s Oct. 24 game against rival Ayr United when the new robotic cameras programmed to follow the ball around the pitch focused instead on the bald head of one of the game’s linesmen. The team had proudly announced a week earlier that it would be replacing human camera operators with a new system “with in-built, AI, ball-tracking technology” to stream live HD footage of home games to season ticket holders and fans who purchased the service. IFLScience reported that while many fans complained, others “saw this as a bonus, given the usual quality of performance.”

ness, who said, “Apparently the plan was for this woman’s friend to remain there the entire flight ... (as a stunt to) drive viewers to their YouTube channel.” Flight attendants discovered the plot when they noticed an empty seat in coach, and the plane returned to the gate so the friends could be removed. The witness reported an unrelated passenger was also removed after he “cussed out” a flight attendant over the delay.

• An unnamed man from Idaho Falls, Idaho, pleaded guilty in a Mammoth Hot Springs, Wyoming, court on Sept. 10 to citations including walking in restricted thermal areas of Yellowstone National Park after park rangers found him with a cooking pot and a burlap sack containing two whole chickens near a hot spring.

Witnesses tipped off rangers on Aug. 7 that a group of 10 people, including a child, were seen hiking toward Shoshone Geyser Basin carrying cooking pots, EastIdahoNews.com reported. The man was ordered to pay fines and has been banned from Yellowstone for two years.

Firefighters with Essex County (England) Fire and Rescue Service were called to a derelict laundromat in Epping on Oct. 30, where three young men had become trapped inside an industrial-sized tumble dryer. Two of them had climbed all the way into the dryer, while the third had managed to get his ankles trapped in the door. Firefighters were joined by Essex Police, a medical helicopter and the ambulance service as they employed “a lot of heavy equipment” to free the men, watch manager Glenn Jackson told Sky News. No word on what they were looking for in there.
