Practice Physical—Not Social—Distancing

e’ll soon be entering the third week of the COVID-19 pandemic’s grip on Maryland. Somehow, it feels like we’ve been “social distancing” for months. As the number of confirmed coronavirus cases continues to grow, the opportunities to participate in our communities continue to shrink. With nonessential businesses and services now shuttered and almost every spring event cancelled, it feels a bit like the walls are closing in around us. The catchphrase across America is “social distancing.” We’re forbidden from congregating in groups of more than ten, and we’re encouraged to stay home as much as possible. State and local leaders impose these rules for our own health and safety, but that doesn’t ease the anxiety. Many of us wake up thinking of all the things we can’t do in this state of emergency. But this week, Bay Weekly wants to help shift that mentality. Let’s focus on what we CAN do. We may not be able to sit at a white-tablecloth restaurant and order the crab cake special, but we sure can take that crab cake to go. The

joint CBM Bay Weekly/Chesapeake Bay Magazine team has been working hard to launch our online interactive map of local restaurants and food spots offering carryout or delivery. Head to bayweekly.com and you’ll find more than 250 choices for your next to-go meal, spanning northern Anne Arundel and Calvert counties. We can go fishing and boating along the Bay. We can nurture a vegetable garden at home (and, come harvest time, be less reliant on the grocery store, where inventory is not guaranteed anymore). We can take advantage of the reduced distractions and check out the wildlife in our own backyards. Inside, our columnists explain how. Most important, we can keep a safe physical distance from one another without cutting ourselves off from the community. In this issue we talk to a hobby seamstress who has turned her home into a small medical mask-making factory to help local hospitals. Bay Weekly’s popular events calendar is morphing into a calendar of virtual events—online options to enjoy the programs we’d been looking forward to before

Local COVID-19 response

ON THE COVER: BOOM BOOM, THE BAY WEEKLY WONDER DOG

Volume XXVIII, Number 13 March 26 - April 2, 2020 News Director Managing Editor

Meg Walburn Viviano Kathy Knotts

EDITOR’S NOTE: You may know Dr. Wayne Bierbaum as Bay Weekly’s Creature Feature columnist and photographer, but his day job puts him on the front lines of the local COVID-19 response. Here, he gives insight on virus testing in the community. I am the Chief Medical Officer for Bay Community Health (BCH). BCH is a non-profit federally subsidized Community Health Center in southern Anne Arundel County. It was created in the 1970s by a community board of directors in order to provide health care to the medically under-served. It is still managed and “owned” by a community Board of Director. We are dedicated in improving the health of Maryland as a whole. We have partnerships with the State and County Health Departments, Department of Health and Human Services, Anne Arundel Medical Center, Quest and LabCorp. Several weeks ago, we started planning for what we should do when the COVID-19 virus entered the state. We have centralized our activities to one site in West River, created a robust phone call center manned by RNs and LPNs. They are trained and have a COVID19 template to follow. Most of our provider-patient contacts are by phone or video but if they truly need to come in, they are screened while they are in their cars and walked back to a pre-bleached exam room without them touching any surfaces. When their visit is over, they leave again with attempts of them not to touch any surfaces. Also, to protect the staff we will have half our staff doing tele-work. We did order COVID-19 testing through Quest and received 20 tests. The people that have called with

everything got cancelled. Speaking of online options, there has never been a better time to engage with us on social media (we’re Bay Weekly Newspaper on Facebook) or at bayweekly. com. With the rapid-fire change the COVID-19 response brings, we’re updating community news in real time. We’re also telling the unique stories of how Chesapeake neighbors make the most of challenging times as Bay Weekly introduces video storytelling. Be sure to catch the one on “Drive-thru Confession” at a local Catholic church and the “stuffed animal safari” set up for the neighborhood kids, with new online-only stories added every day. While we may not be able to make in-person plans with friends, go out for a beer, or plan for spring events right now, coronavirus can’t stop us from being part of Bay country. Let’s stay close—just not, you know, physically. p — MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM NEWS DIRECTOR

COVID-19 symptoms were initially phone triaged and given an appointment. The medical provider, gowned, gloved and masked, has met them in our parking lot and re-screened them and if the CDC criteria to do testing was met, then they were tested. As a service to our community, we have been phone screening and testing anyone that calls even if they are not our patients. However, as of 3/20/20, our office will be out of COVID-19 tests and despite our partnerships, it is unlikely that more tests will be coming. Despite physical and financial costs, we do plan to continue our health care, screening, teaching and psychological services throughout this urgent time Almost all people we have screened and meet the criteria for a COVID-19 infection we have asked them to self-isolate and let others they have been in contact with be aware. Only those with severe shortness of breath are referred to the Emergency Room. It is important to avoid close contact with others. Stay at home. When getting outside food remove the cooked food into your container discard the packaging and then wash your hands. Washing with soap is the best way to clean your hands -saying Happy Birthday twice. Use sanitizers after touching surfaces that others have touched - even door handles. Keep your hands away from your face. If you do feel ill and are concerned - call your provider. —WAYNE BIERBAUM, MD CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER, BAY COMMUNITY HEALTH, WEST RIVER

MARYLANDERS EMBRACE THE BAY, GET SOME SPACE

MD. BOAT SHOPS DONATE 21,000 MASKS FOR COVID-19 RESPONSE

s COVID-19 protective measures get stronger and our options for weekend activities get more and more limited in the Bay region, a growing number of folks are turning to the Bay itself for respite.

The Chesapeake Bay is an escape for people who want to get outside and free their minds—whether they do it by dropping the dock lines or by pulling up invasive weeds. “To me, it’s relaxing. It’s very relaxing,” says Cookie Pascale of Arnold. “And if I catch fish I’m happier. But if I don’t, we’re still outside. We’re enjoying each other at a distance.” Pascale visited Romancoke Pier in Stevensville, right over the Bay Bridge, this past weekend with her husband and daughter. “We just got in the car, stopped at Anglers, got some bloodworms.” At Anglers Sport Center along Rt. 50, just a few miles west of the Bay crossing, buying bait will be another memory of this unprecedented time. “Because of the coronavirus, they only let so many people in the bait store,” Pascale explains. “You could call in and use your credit card to buy worms. So we did, and then they bring them out to the car.” Now that Governor Larry Hogan has ordered all nonessential businesses to close, Anglers has temporarily closed with plans to reopen with carryout service only. In Stevensville, Robert Bennett had the same idea as Pascale’s family to get out on the Bay. “Being out in the fresh air is probably the best thing. Better than being in a crowded building with a bunch of people,” Bennett tells Bay Bulletin. In Cape St. Claire, some folks found another way to get outside: by helping to clean up local waterways. The Wednesday Weed Warriors started

their planned spring season a few weeks early. The program run by Cape Conservation Corps removes invasive plants that crowd out native ones to restore woodlands that are vital to the Bay watershed. Lead Weed Warrior Stacey Wildberger points out it’s a prime time to get to work. “With all the time off, we’re getting some extra hours out here,” she says. Wildberger invited 13-year-old Aaron Semos, a Magothy River Middle School student to earn some community hours for the National Junior Honors Society this past week. “Usually I would just be sitting on my butt at home watching TV,” Semos says truthfully. Instead, he’s working his leg muscles in the woods. “I’m trying to rip out some dangerous weeds from the creek,” he showed Bay Bulletin. The creek he’s referring to is a ravine that leads to Lake Clare, then out to the Little Magothy, and of course, into the Bay. The weeds will be replaced with new, native plantings. “So the native species are going to help drain the water and stop rainwater from running off into the waterways,” says Wildberger. Wildberger and Semos kept a safe distance in the weeds, while Chesapeake anglers kept their distance at the fishing pier. Says Bennett, “The weather is not perfect right now but it’s better than being in a stuffy house.”

wo different marine companies made generous donations of respirator masks this week—and we mean tens of thousands of masks. Pasadena Boat Works, a northern Anne Arundel County service shop and dealer of Carolina Skiffs and other new and used powerboats, made local headlines by donating two large truckloads of N95 respirator masks to the Maryland Department of Health.

Jim Weaver with donated supplies

Weaver Boat Works, a custom fishing boat builder located on the south end of Anne Arundel County in Tracys Landing, saw the story and decided to donate its own supply of 7,000 N95 masks, usually worn by boat shop employees. The two donations together will make a big difference, given that masks have been constantly in short supply during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pasadena Boat Works owner Rick Levin had the 14,000 masks in a storage unit. Why? He had been active in a foundation to help child cancer

BAY BULLETIN

Pasadena Boat Works donation. Credit: Rick Levin patients, and had the idea to create fun-patterned ventilator masks. The “Kenzie Cover” was inspired by nineyear-old Mackenzie Stuck who fought cancer and bedazzled the masks she wore during chemotherapy. Levin says the first 6,000 mask-and-cover kits were given away to hospitals for kids like Kenzie. But after she passed away in 2010, the program went on hiatus. Levin, together with Pasadena Boat Works General Manager Nick Doestch, offered the boxes and boxes of masks to the state of Maryland. Doetsch says the health department was shocked and surprised by the size of the donation, calling it an “absolute godsend.” Levin tells Bay Bulletin he believes, “If she were alive today, Kenzie would love this.” The Pasadena Boat Works donation got the Weaver family, of Weaver Boat Works, thinking about profit versus philanthropy. Jim Weaver, owner (with his wife Vicki), tells us he ordered their masks back in November, for his 40 employees to use. The Weavers also own Deale Hardware & Home Store, and as Jim points out, “I could’ve sold them no problem, because they’re so in demand.” He talked to his workers and they all agreed to give up the disposable N95 masks for donations, switching to a permanent-type mask instead. They also gave away 1,050 boxes of nitrile gloves, typically used by employees handling epoxy. Weaver says the state directed his mask and glove donations to Anne Arundel County, for first responders to use when handling possible COVID-19 patients. Weaver’s daughter, Ashley Hangliter, a manager at Weaver Boat Works, coordinated with the county on the donations. She calls it a civic duty to offer help to first responders: “There is no point in life more vulnerable than when you need to call upon first responders. If there is anything we can do to help those who stand in harm’s way, it is the least we can do to put community before profit.” —MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

BAY BULLETIN the State Fire Marshal’s Office launched an investigation with the St. Michaels Police Department. Investigators determined two boys 11 and 12 years old set lumber on fire on the property of the museum, causing $500 worth of damage. The boys were charged on Tuesday with Malicious Burning Under $1,000 and Malicious Destruction of Property, and were released to their parents. No one was injured in the fire. —MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

You will receive food, pre-bagged. You will not have to get out of your car and our volunteers practice strict sanitation practices. No one will be turned away without food as long as supplies last. There is no income requirement. With so many in the restaurant and retail sector out of work, this could be a big help until everything becomes more stable.

MD Offers Senior Call Checks for Those Staying Home People 65+ Can Opt in for Daily Welfare Phone Calls BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

f you are an older adult in Maryland heeding warnings to stay inside, the state of Maryland wants to check and make sure you’re doing okay. Anyone 65 and older who owns a phone (cell and/or landline), the state’s Department of Aging urges you to sign up for its free welfare check phone service during this period of COVID-19 isolation. Maryland is the first state in the country to start a service like this. If you opt in, you’ll receive a daily phone call during a predetermined hour between 8am and 4pm. If you don’t answer, the automated call tries three times and then notifies an emergency contact selected during sign-up. It could be an adult child, neighbor, or loved one who would be encouraged to check on you. As a last resort, local law enforcement would make a welfare check in person. The Senior Call Check program will also provide messages and updates regarding the COVID-19 outbreak. You can enroll and begin the call service within 24 hours.

To sign up, call toll-free 1-866-50-CHECK (1-866-502-0560) M-F 8am5pm and Saturday 9am-3pm or register at aging.maryland.gov.

Virtual Events vent organizers aren’t letting COVID-19 stop them from doing what they love. Below are a few ways to enjoy cultural offerings from the safety and security of your home.

Annapolis Film Festival Through the wonders of modern technology, The Annapolis Film Festival’s (AFF) audience will be able to see the 8th annual festival in the comfort and safety of their homes March 27-29. Because AFF was unable to “physically” host the films with audiences due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the non-profit organization is bringing the films to viewers on its new secure streaming platform, The Annapolis Film Festival Channel, in partnership with FilmFestivalFlix.com. “The Annapolis Film Festival team has worked hard over these eight years to connect our community by bringing people together to share conversations around independent and new prereleased films that entertain, inform, and enlighten our viewers,” said Patti White, festival director and co-founder. “We are greatly disappointed to miss this celebratory time of being together as an inclusive community and enjoying these diverse films as well as meeting our industry guests. It is a favorite time that we have come to cherish in

our town. Our goal is to keep everyone home, healthy and entertained.” The Annapolis Film Festival Channel will include shorts, documentary features and narrative features, as well as discussions with filmmakers. “Over the last year, the AFF team has put great effort into bringing this festival to our community, and this enables us to keep the ‘voice’ of our festival alive,” said Lee Anderson, festival director and co-founder. “This new platform will allow us to champion the filmmakers and films we have selected and carefully curated programs that we have put together for our festival audience,” adds Anderson. Ticket buyers or pass holders will be “onboarded” to exercise their pass or ticket benefits through the virtual film festival on the new channel. “This secure platform is like Netflix where viewers will create their own private username and password. Existing ticket and pass holders will receive a coupon code for their passes or tickets,” says Anderson. Because certain film distributors have strict contractual agreements, AFF will not be able to screen some of the films. Unfortunately, Military Wives, the planned opening night film, fell into that category. March 27-29: annapolisfilmfestival.com/affchannel

Live Arts Maryland Orchestras had to cancel concerts and live performances, too. To keep music lovers connected, the Annapolis area nonprofit performing arts organization has turned to virtual presentations to keep the music flowing. In the first week of social distancing, performers from Live Arts Maryland’s Mainstage, Thursdays @ St. Anne’s, and Bach+ presented eight QuaranTiny Concerts. These short informal pieces feature local musicians performing impromptu solos from their home studios or living rooms or with a full orchestra in a past live event. Find the concerts plus bonus material at bachplusmd.org

The Face of Protection Our great-grandmothers rolled bandages; we’re sewing masks to help those on the front lines BY JANE C. ELKIN

hen a nursing friend in Baltimore asked me to sew a few facemasks for herself and a few coworkers, I felt an adrenaline rush of usefulness. Using a lifetime’s worth of project scraps from baby clothes to curtains and upholstery, I whipped up 13 in the first day and posted a photo on my Cape St. Claire neighborhood Facebook page. Within minutes I had a deluge of comments ranging from order requests to tips from other seamstresses already engaged in the same pursuit. Within three days, my tally was up to 45; I dropped my average production time per mask from 25 to 15 minutes; and I had three donations of materials and four new sewing friends. On March 3, the World Health Organization warned of a “severe and mounting disruption to the global supply of personal protective equipment caused by rising demand, panic buying, hoarding, and misuse.” On top of the mounting coronavirus pandemic, recent wildfires depleted inventory to the point that the American Health Care Association estimates 40% of suppliers will be out of stock by April. Suddenly America is relearning what it means to Use it up, Wear it out, Make it do or Do without, as the Greatest Generation would say.

N95: The Superhighway of Defense The N95 mask is so efficient the FDA calls it a respirator. Density and snug contouring combine to block at least 95 percent of tiny (0.3 micron) test particles.

If properly fitted, its filtration far surpasses that of ordinary facemasks, yet there is no guarantee against infection. Across the spectrum of lesser alternatives, a surgical facemask is a looser barrier against contaminants. Cloth masks sewn from double layers are similar but with the advantage of being washable, and some include a pocket for added filtration such as tissue. Finally, there are the pre-shaped dust masks common to the construction and gardening industry. So, how do they stack up? In 2010, when SARS was on the horizon, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health conducted a study comparing the N95 to the surgical facemask, the dust mask, and a folded bandana. Using a saline aerosol contaminant, the N95 was found to be 89.6% effective, followed by the surgical mask at 33.3%, the bandana at 11.3%, and the dust mask at 6.1%. Their conclusion cautioned against the false sense of security that any of these shields may instill.

So Who Needs One? It depends on who you ask. “Every person in the United State who is going out of their home should be wearing a mask right now,” says Dr. Sun Hope, host of The Million Mask Mayday how-to video. But Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases took issue with this philosophy, saying masks not only offer a false sense of security but also cause people to touch their face more often in

Local Restaurants Feed Your Need CBM Bay Weekly online map shows restaurants staying open to serve

bayweekly.com/map

BY KRISTA PFUNDER

f you’re like me, you started dreaming of a meal at your favorite restaurant the minute the governor announced “dining in” is temporarily not an option. But don’t worry. Local restaurants have risen to the occasion. Carry-out, curbside and delivery services are being offered by more than 250 area restaurants—and that number keeps rising. We’ve been busy contacting restaurants to get their game plan and have compiled our findings in an interactive online map at bayweekly.com. Some locations are using delivery services such as Uber Eats or DoorDash to get meals to you. Others are giving waitstaff a chance to make a living while they’re not needed as servers. And there’s more good news. Restrictions on alcohol sales have eased. Wine, beer and even Maryland’s favorite crushes are available to go—or for delivery to your home. CBM Bay Weekly is part of the Chesapeake Bay Media family, and we all work together as a team. Big thanks go to Chesapeake Bay Magazine’s Chris Landers, Mike Ogar and Megan Tilley for their help in this effort. And especially to Landers, who suggests I try a watermelon crush. Please let me know if you hear of a spot offering them.

Restaurant options, services and hours are constantly changing. We are doing our best to keep our map updated. Contact the restaurant directly for the most up-to-date information. Restaurants can provide their information by filling out our online form at bayweekly.com.

A New Recipe for Dining Out BY KATHY KNOTTS AND SUSAN NOLAN

Carry-out dining is helping to keep JesseJays Latin Inspired Kitchen open. Photo: Jennifer Schiavone

ining out in the Chesapeake region has become something entirely different during the COVID-19 pandemic. Restaurants and bars were forced to close their doors to diners more than a week ago, but have adapted quickly and in creative ways. Places that didn’t offer takeout or delivery before have discovered that in our new reality, to-go is the only way to go. From tacos and nachos to steak and seafood, Chesapeake region restaurants remain ready to feed your appetites. Some restaurants with multiple locations are being squeezed even harder by the COVID crisis. Chesapeake Grille & Deli has three locations: Dunkirk, North Beach and Bowie.

“For us, it was a matter of pivoting our business to meet an increased demand for carry-out,” says Chad Wagaman, owner of Chesapeake Grille & Deli. “Catering is a big thing for us, but with catered events all cancelled, we’ve made take-out and delivery our focus.” Customers are using their newly implemented online ordering systems to place both take-out and delivery orders. A strong community is key to keeping these businesses afloat, and very quickly social media came to the rescue by spreading the word about which spots are still open for business (see our recently launched online map encompassing hundreds of restaurants at bayweekly.com. Story above). That kind of support is encouraging to Jennifer Schiavone, manager of JesseJays Latin Inspired Kitchen in Churchton. “We are truly blessed to have so many amazing regulars who we see a few times a week continue to come in for carry-out,” says Schiavone. “Customer support has been nothing short of amazing. And, they have been extremely generous! Our week was steady, but the weekend was busy. We hope this will continue, so we can stay open for the duration.” JesseJays, like many others, has had to shift to a smaller staff but Schiavone says they were able to add one more to the weekend shift thanks to the steady orders. “I honestly believe we will be able to ride this out. We were lucky because a good portion of our business has always been carryout,” she says.

Relaxed rules about alcohol are also helping to grease the wheel. “We are trying to take advantage of our off-premise liquor license like so many local restaurants are, so we are offering margarita kits to go. We heard a lot of great feedback about our tacoand-beer package,” adds Schiavone. Harvest Thyme Modern Kitchen & Tavern’s ChefOwner Rik Squillari is relying on adaptability and liquor sales to bring his restaurant through the current crisis. The fine-dining Davidsonville restaurant is known for its 5-course wine dinners and guest bartender events. With the dine-in experience no longer an option, take-out is keeping the doors open. “We’ve adapted our menu to be more carry-out friendly,” Squillari says. The to-go entree Chicken Milanese pairs nicely with white wine, but pizza and beer are proving to be popular choices as well. Comfort foods are living up to their moniker it appears. Bill Sherman, chef and owner at Neptune’s Seafood Pub in North Beach, says people are craving comfort foods in these uncertain times and his restaurant is providing just that. “Pizza, appetizers, sandwiches are popular carryout items.” Around the region, no matter who we spoke to, restaurant owners, managers, chef and cooks remain optimistic about weathering the storm and reopening their dining rooms to guests. “Some of my employees have been here for over ten years. We are a family and we are working together,” says Sherman. ‫ﵭ‬ March 26 - April 2, 2020 • BAY WEEKLY • 9

SPORTING LIFE

BY DENNIS DOYLE

An Alternate Rx for Our Mandated Solitude “Carpe Diem does not mean fish of the day.” —ANON. e are currently living in trying times. Viral pandemics are like that. But if ever there was a solution, it is fishing. If six feet is the minimum prescribed distance to isolate ourselves from potential infection, an angler would argue that ten times that separation is generally preferable— having to do not with contagion, but with common courtesy. If the brutal truth be known, anyone within sight of us while fishing does not bring the slightest twinge of happiness nor sense of comfort. Solitude is one of the essences of the angling experience and though we do value the companionship of our fellow man, anything that disturbs our absolute focus tends to be at least a mild irritant. When we arrive at our location the very first thing we evaluate is whether we have the place to ourselves. If we don’t, we generally move on, sometimes a bit, sometimes much more. It’s often been said, and quite accurately,

FISHFINDER: The white perch run is definitely on and the fish are numerous, fat and healthy. Of course, the small males arrive first so initially there may be a lot of throwbacks. When that happens be sure to squash down your hook barbs, it won’t result in as many fish lost as you may think and it will protect the little guys’ mouths. The bump on the hook shank from the deflected barb is more than enough to keep the hook in place. Fresh grass shrimp, small minnows, and just about any kind of worm on a shad dart under a casting bobber will get their attention but not all at the same time. They can be maddeningly selective so be prepared. And the color of the dart matters. Last year it was bright orange with black accents and an orange or white tail. Often it is chartreuse and black, sometimes all white or yellow or often a red head with a yellow tail. For some other reason a double dart setup works much better than a single. Cast it out and twitch it back and watch for the slightest indication of a bite, these fish are practiced bait thieves and the bigger they are, the stealthier. There are still yellow perch in the mix as well as pickerel and some crappie as well. Down Blackwater River way there are lots of snakeheads, many of them enormous. They love big minnows. Catch and release of migratory striped bass is open this month on the mainstem Bay, heaven only knows why. Live bait requires circle hooks and release the fish caught without removing them from the water. Enjoy the springtime, remember to keep at least six feet from fellow anglers and wash your hands when you get home. that the secret to a good fishing spot is directly proportional to its distance from a parking lot (and definitely any crowds). Loneliness rarely detracts from the angling experience. Another potent issue currently troubling many people in the current crisis is anxiety. While certainly justified, it is hardly pleasant. I can assure anyone contemplating hitting the water with a rod in hand, anxiety rarely survives any determined encounter with nature. One of the great advantages to living on Chesapeake Bay is that we have the biggest backyard in the nation. The Bay and its tributaries are not only vast and virtually uninhabited by man, it is also public property. If our

feet are in the water past the ankles or we’re floating in a boat we have the privilege of unrestricted legal passage. Another angler benefit is our communications network. Most fisher-people have a list of names and numbers of those who share their passion for similar species and prime locations. Though the currently dire medical situation will pass, occasions to while away hours on the water are an angler’s delight. Keep the suggested distance from others, mind the current behavioral rules and when presented with an appropriately safe opportunity, embrace the chance for some blissful solitude on your favorite waters. ‫ﵭ‬

CREATURE FEATURE

STORY AND PHOTOS BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

The Helpful Ladybug T he current call for social isolation is a great time to put your energy into gardening and yard work. As you do, look for emerging helpful insects. One of my favorite insects is the ladybug. Ladybugs, or ladybird beetles, are colorful helmet-shaped creatures beloved by children and encouraged to multiply by farmers. I find that they have spunk and character. When I try to take close-up photos of them, they sometimes slip away or stand their ground posing or sometimes they will attack the lens. When I persist to get the photo, they will usually take flight. Because they hibernate, they are one of the earliest bugs found in springtime. Ladybugs have a life cycle similar to a butterfly. After eating a lot of spring bugs, females will lay up to 300 eggs. In a couple of weeks, the larval stage will hatch and immediately start doing what they do best, eating aphids. The larval-stage bug is dark with yellow spots and is the shape of a straightened comma with legs but no wings. Their wings don’t develop until after they emerge from a pupal stage. The pupal stage starts after the larva eats enough aphids to store the energy to transform into that cocoon-like stage. After a week or so an adult ladybug emerges through the pupal shell.

The adult has a delicate folded wing structure and a hinged shell that covers the wings. It has sensitive antennae for locating aphids and fairly good eyesight. After maturing over the summer many will look for places to make a dried grass nest to spend the winter. Wintering spots are frequently around houses, in the eaves and windows. Several species of ladybugs are migratory. One species in California migrates in such numbers that the clouds of bugs are visible on radar. Farmers love ladybugs because they eat aphids, tiny bugs that suck the juices out of tender shoots of plants. They can kill plants or render them so weak that they are unable to flower or bear fruit. Over its two-year lifespan a ladybug could eat over 5,000 aphids. Ladybugs do have some predators. The worst are parasitic wasps which develop inside the ladybug host, eventually killing it. Birds and reptiles are not too fond of ladybugs as they seem to taste bad. Pesticides are the major killer of ladybugs. Avoiding their use helps protect these beneficial insects. Spraying water and dish detergent at a mildly high pressure several times a week will decrease aphids and makes them lose their grip on plants. Let the lovely ladybugs do their job in the garden. ‫ﵭ‬

THE MOVIEGOER

Horseback Riding & Stables

BY DIANA BEECHENER

See the World Without Leaving Your Sofa Being quarantined doesn’t mean you can’t explore the world t’s week two of our societal staycation and it’s understandable if you’re ready to get outside of the house. With the governor shutting down all but essential businesses, there aren’t many places to go other than the barren toilet paper aisle at the local supermarket. Studios are continuing to release new titles to video on demand services, with a price tag around $20. If you’re ready to leave your home, but not break the bank, The Moviegoer has a solution. This week I’m recommending six films on streaming services with wondrous worlds and fascinating cultures.

NETFLIX

Atlantics In Dakar, young Ada (Mame Bineta Sane) waits by the sea for her love, Souleiman (Traore) to return. After months working on a construction project with no pay, Souleiman and his crew have climbed into a boat and sailed for Europe, hoping to find money and better prospects. But Ada isn’t free to wait for Souleiman forever—her family has betrothed her to a wealthy man. As her wedding day approaches, odd things begin happening to Ada and her husband-to-be. The whole city of Dakar seems to be unsettled by seemingly unexplainable occurrences. Will these events lead Ada back to her love or lead her to disaster? Part romance, part ghost story, and part social critique, Atlantics is a beautiful film that gives you a look into the rich culture of Senegal. Director Mati Diop creates a spellbinding story, offering viewers a truly touching love story and a biting look at the inequalities that force the lovers apart. If you’re in the mood for sweeping romance and some truly breathtaking cinematography, Atlantics is the perfect film. Great Drama * NR * 106 mins.

Roma Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio) has left her rural home to work for a middle-class family in Mexico City. Renamed by her employers, who aren’t interested in learning her real name, Cleo moves like an apparition through the house, always working, but rarely acknowledged for her work. As the family she works for begins to collapse, Cleo’s own position in the world is called into question. An absolute masterpiece that draws heavily from writer-director Alfonso Cuarón’s childhood, Roma is one of the best modern films available on streaming. The film draws some inspiration from the Italian Neo-Realist movement of the 1960s, and shows the same brilliant devotion to capturing a brilliant sense of place. The city

streets and country vistas teem with life, giving you an incredible sense of place and time. Bolstered by a deeply emotional star turn from Aparicio, Roma is a tender tribute to people often left in the backgrounds of stories. With gorgeous cinematography and award-winning direction, this film is a piece of art to be savored. Brilliant Drama * R * 135 mins.

manhunt for the duo. Wildly funny and surprisingly earnest, Hunt for the Wilderpeople is utterly charming. Director Taika Waititi keeps you laughing as the story becomes increasingly outlandish. Anchored by a grizzled performance by Neill, it is both absurd and grounded in emotional reality. Great Comedy * PG-13 * 101 mins.

HULU

The Farewell

Apollo 11

Billi (Awkwafina) has always been close to her Nai-Nai (Shuzhen Zhao). Though she left China at a young age, Billi keeps in contact with her grandmother through frequent teasing phone calls. No matter what’s happening, Billi can count on her Nai Nai to raise her spirits. When Billi learns her grandmother has stage 4 cancer, she barely has time to process her grief when she’s told that she absolutely cannot reveal this information to Nai Nai. It’s a tradition in China to not tell the dying about their condition, because the fear of death is thought to be worse than the actual disease. Billi, who was raised predominantly in New York, sees the tradition as insane and wants to tell her grandmother the truth. Based on the real-life familial turmoil of director Lulu Wang, The Farewell is a deeply heartfelt story of grief, love, and tradition. Though the subject matter might make the movie seem like a tearjerker, this is a film filled with genuine affection and riotous humor. At the center is a stunning performance from Zhao, as the firecracker grandmother who isn’t afraid to play drinking games or tell you if you’ve gotten too skinny. Awkwafina puts away her bombastic persona to deliver a subtle, moving performance as a woman trapped between worlds.

In 1969, America strapped three men into a metal can filled with rocket fuel and aimed them at the moon. As Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins hurtled toward history, America and the world waited with bated breath to see if man really could touch the stars. A documentary filled with neverbefore-seen footage, Apollo 11 is a fascinating look at what it took to get man on the surface of the moon. You’ll see just how dangerous rockets were, and how engineers worked to shore up major flaws just days before the launch. The film also offers an excellent look at the personalities of Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins, humanizing these historic figures. Did you know that Aldrin liked to pull jokes on Houston while reporting data? This is the perfect film for families, be prepared to make some space themed crafts after the film. After seven days of isolation, you may relate to the three men stuck in a cramped rocket for 8 days.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople Foster kid Ricky (Julian Dennison) is more interested in Tupac and Biggie than living on the land, but that changes when he’s taken in by Hector (Sam Neill) and Bella. The rural New Zealanders teach Ricky about living off the land and give him his first stable home. When Bella dies, foster care tries to take Ricky, so he decides to take matters into his own hands—running off into the woods to live on his own. Woefully inept at survival skills, Ricky is quickly found by Hector. Before the two can return to civilization, a misunderstanding leads to a nationwide

Pete’s Dragon When Pete (Oakes Fegley) is orphaned near the woods, he’s adopted by a dragon he names Elliott. They live a happy life together until a lumber camp encroaches on their happy home. When Pete is discovered by the lumberjacks, he’s taken away from Elliott and the woods. Park ranger Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard) wants to help Pete find a home and assumes that his Elliott stories are a coping mechanism. But when odd things start happening, Grace wonders if there isn’t a bit of truth to Pete’s stories. Pete’s Dragon is the rare remake that’s better than the original. Featuring a good message for kids about conservation and embracing your imagination, it’s also a great movie to launch an afternoon of art projects— have your kids design their own dragons after they see Pete’s.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your oracle comes from Aries poet Octavio Paz: “The path the ancestors cleared is overgrown, unused. The other path, smooth and broad, is crowded with travelers. It goes nowhere. There’s a third path: mine. Before me, no one. Behind me, no one. Alone, I find my way.” APRIL FOOL! Although the passage by Octavio Paz is mostly accurate for your destiny during the rest of 2020, it’s off-kilter in one way: It’s too ponderously serious and melodramatic. You should find a way to carry out its advice with meditative grace and effervescent calm.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A century ago, fiery writer Maxim Gorky and hard-ass Taurus politician Vladimir Lenin were listening to a Beethoven sonata together. “I can’t listen to music too often,” Lenin told his companion. “It affects your nerves, makes you want to say stupid, nice things.” This is crucial advice for you to heed in the coming weeks, Taurus. You need to be as smart and tough as possible, so don’t you dare listen to music. APRIL FOOL! Lenin was half-mistaken, and I half-lied. The fact is, music makes you smarter and nicer, and those will be key assets for you to cultivate in the coming weeks. So yes, do listen to a lot of music.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): By the time he was 55 years old, Gemini author Thomas Hardy had written 18 novels and many poems. His stuff was good enough to win him two separate nominations for a Nobel Prize in Literature. But during the last 32+ years of his life, he never wrote another novel. According to one theory, it was because he was discouraged by the negative reviews he got for his last novel. I suspect you may be at a similar juncture in your life, Gemini. Maybe it’s time to give up on a beloved activity that hasn’t garnered the level of success you’d hoped for. APRIL FOOL! The truth is, it is most definitely NOT time to lose hope and faith. Don’t be like Hardy. Rededicate yourself to your passionate quests.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian theologian John Wesley (1703–1791) was a Christian who embodied the liberal values that Christ actually taught. He advocated for the abolition of slavery, prison reform, the ordination of women priests, and a vegetarian diet. He gave away a lot of his money and administered many charities. To accomplish his life’s work, he traveled 250,000 miles on horseback and preached 40,000 sermons. Let’s make him your role model for the coming weeks. Be inspired by his life as you vividly express your care and compassion. APRIL FOOL! I lied a little bit. Although most of what I just recommended is a good idea, the part about traveling long distances, either on horseback or by other means, is not.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The neurotic but talented French novelist

Marcel Proust observed, “Everything vital in the world comes from neurotics. They alone have founded religions and composed our masterpieces.” With that in mind, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I urge you to cultivate your own neurotic qualities in their extreme forms of expression during the coming weeks. You’re due for some major creative breakthroughs. APRIL FOOL! I was kidding. The fact is, you can generate creative breakthroughs in the coming weeks by being poised and composed—not extra neurotic.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo author Leon Edel wrote a fivevolume biography of renowned author Henry James. In the course of his research, he read 15,000 letters that were written by James. He came to have a profound familiarity with the great man. In accordance with current astrological omens, I recommend that you choose a worthy character about whom you will become equally knowledgeable. APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. It’s true that now is an excellent time to deepen your understanding of people you care about. But don’t get as obsessed as Edel!

but I left out an important component of your assignment: Be loving and responsible as you pursue your joyous climaxes, never manipulative or exploitative or insensitive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Ancient Greek orator Demosthenes was renowned for his skill at delivering powerful, charismatic speeches. While he was still learning his craft, he resorted to extreme measures to improve. For example, there was a time when he shaved just half of his head. It made him ashamed to go out in public, forcing him to spend all his time indoors practicing his speeches. Would you consider a similar strategy right now? APRIL FOOL! I was just messing with you. It’s true that the coming weeks will be a good time to minimize your socializing and devote yourself to hard work in behalf of a beloved dream. But shaving half your head isn’t the best way to accomplish that.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): About 2,000 years ago, a Roman woman named Sulpicia wrote six short love poems—a total of 40 lines—that are still being analyzed and discussed by literary scholars today. I bring her to your attention because I think that in the next four weeks you, too, could generate a small burst of beauty that will still be appreciated 2,000 years from now. APRIL FOOL! I lied about the “small” part. The burst of beauty you create in the immediate future could actually be quite large, as well as enduring.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to tell as many lies as possible if doing so helps you get what you want. I hereby authorize you to engage in massive deceptions, misrepresentations, and manipulative messages as you seek to impose your will on every flow of events. APRIL FOOL! I lied. In fact, everything I just said was the exact opposite of your actual horoscope, which is as follows: You have a sacred duty to tell more of the truth than you have ever been able to tell before. As you dig deeper to discover more and more of what’s essential for you to understand and express, dedicate your efforts to the goal of gliding along with the most beautiful and interesting flow you can find.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): French poet Louis Aragon (1897– 1982) was an influential novelist and a pioneer of surrealistic poetry. Much of his writing had a lyrical quality, and many of his poems were set to music. He also had a belligerent streak. Before the publication of one of his books, he announced that he would thrash any writer who dared to review it in print. Success! There were no critical reviews at all. I recommend his approach to you in the coming weeks. Make it impossible for anyone to criticize you. APRIL FOOL! I lied. I would never suggest that you use violence to accomplish your aims. And besides that, the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to solicit feedback of all varieties, even the critical kind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I hesitate to be so blunt, but it’s my duty to report the facts. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you should have as many orgasms as possible in the next 15 days. You need to tap into the transformative psychological power that’s available through monumental eruptions of pleasure and releases of tension. (P.S. Spiritual orgasms will be just as effective as physical orgasms.) APRIL FOOL! What I just said is true,

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Fifteen minutes before the Big Bang occurred, where was the matter that now constitutes your body and my body? And if, as seems to be true, the Big Bang was the beginning of time, what time was it fifteen minutes earlier? Questions like these are crucial for you to ponder in the next two weeks. APRIL FOOL! I lied. The questions I articulated should in fact be very low priority for you. In the immediate future, you’ll be wise to be as concrete and specific and pragmatic as you can possibly be. Focus on up-close personal questions that you can actually solve, not abstract, unsolv able riddles. Homework: Tell jokes to humorists. Be extra kind to kind people. Sing songs to the birds. Change the way you change. FreeWillAstrology.com.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

COMPILED BY ANDREWS McMEEL SYNDICATION

Update News of the Weird reported in July 2017 about Jeff Reitz of Huntington Beach, California, who at that time had just achieved his 2,000th visit to Disneyland in Anaheim. Since then, Reitz, 47, has continued his daily visits—until March 13, when Disney closed its theme parks in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Reitz was just short of 3,000 visits, the Orange County Register reported, at 2,995. “The streak’s been ended,” Reitz said. He does not plan to continue his consecutive streak when the park reopens. “On the negative side, I didn’t get to choose the end,” he said. “But on the positive side, I didn’t have to choose the end.” While he’s practicing social isolation, Reitz plans to watch some movies on ... you guessed it, Disney Plus.

right and return the stolen items,” according to the Associated Press. Nevertheless, he was arrested and charged with receiving stolen property.

Awesome! When Alexandria Miller, 28, of Chicago, Illinois, won a two-inch goldfish at a carnival in July 2018, she assumed he would stay the same size. But since then, Gerald the goldfish has grown to be 12 inches long, and Miller has spent $1,300 upgrading his tanks to accommodate him (she’s already looking for a bigger one). And, The Mirror reported, Gerald is not shy about getting his needs met. “He does lay around a lot, but it seems when he’s bored or hungry, he jumps out of the water and likes to grab the thermometer inside his tank,” Miller said. “He’ll click it against the glass till he’s got our attention.” But, she went on, “If I put a smaller fish in there with him, he will eat them.”

Just a few hours after Harris County, Texas, declared that all bars and nightclubs would have to close on March 16, an anonymous diner at Irma’s Southwest restaurant in downtown Houston did their best to help out. The customer, who left a $9,400 tip, wrote on the receipt: “Hold tip to pay your guys over the next few weeks.” United Press International said Irma’s will split the tip among the employees, giving them each about $300.

Government in Action In 1993, Alabama banned yoga in public schools under a general prohibition of the use of “hypnosis and dissociative mental states.” Now, Rep. Jeremy Gray has proposed a bill that would let schools offer yoga as an elective class, but religious groups are expected to fight it. “It’s the Hindu religion,” said Joe Godfrey of the Alabama Citizens Action Program. But Gray is hoping the general acceptance of yoga will prevail. “I really don’t see what the big deal is,” he told NBC News. “I mean, my wife does this, my mother does this on the floor of her Methodist church.”

Ah, Snap PSA: The Deerfield, Michigan, American Legion has been forced by COVID19 restrictions to cancel its annual testicle-eating festival, which was to take place on March 21. The big event, which draws 2,000 locals and visitors to Deerfield every year, offers deep-fried cattle genitals (also known as mountain oysters) and chicken gizzards, Metro reported. “So many people look forward to coming to Deerfield during this time of year,” said organizer Nick Pulver, “[but] I think we made the best decision to delay it.” Organizers hope to postpone it to May 9. The 300 pounds of delectables that were ordered for the festival have been frozen. ‫ﵭ‬ Send your weird news items with subject line WEIRD NEWS to WeirdNewsTips@amuniversal.com.

• During the COVID-19 crisis, some people in Japan have resorted to pilfering toilet paper from public restrooms when the rolls became unavailable in stores. One convenience store worker put the power of the supernatural to work against such thefts. Mink Itachibe, who works at a store in the Niigata prefecture, hung signs with images of eyes and kanji characters in front of the toilet paper to curse the tempting rolls. “I did it as a joke, but it seems to have worked,” she told CNN. The symbols imply that if someone nips TP from the store, a hungry monster will hunt them down and gobble them up. “People can be quite superstitious in Japan,” Itachibe said. • Add to the list of things not to leave in plain sight in your car: toilet paper. Police in Eugene, Oregon, stated that on March 15, a thief shattered the entire back window of an SUV in order to get his mitts on two 30-roll cases of toilet paper, along with other valuables, the Blaze reported. “Anytime vehicles are left unattended for extended periods of time, local thieves view it as a favorable opportunity,” police reminded Oregonians.

Cody Hicks, 23, was reportedly driving erratically and crashed into another car on March 13 in Manatee County, Florida—in itself, not weird. But what he did next perplexed the two young women in the car and onlookers. According to the Manatee County Sheriff ’s Office, Hicks emerged from his vehicle, pulled down his pants and underwear, and fondled himself while sticking out his tongue at witnesses. ClickOrlando.com reported deputies said Hicks would only tell them, “I want my lawyer.” He was arrested for a lewd and lascivious exhibition and entered a plea of not guilty.

Sage Aaron Cummins, 24, of Gallup, New Mexico, woke up one recent morning and found he had two TVs in his room that had not been there the day before. Two days later, he found out an acquaintance was missing two TVs and put two and two together. According to Gallup police, Cummins returned to the victim’s apartment with the goods and approached an officer who was there investigating the burglary report. He told the officer he had been “very intoxicated” when he knocked on a door that evening and, when no one answered, he entered the home, but he didn’t remember what happened after that. Cummins told police he “wanted to make things

son, but the car’s license plate really got their attention. The tag had expired in September 1997—more than 20 years ago—The Miami Herald reported. “Sorry, officer,” police said the man told them. “I’ve been busy lately and totally forgot to renew my vehicle registration. I will take care of it as soon as I get home!” Slidell police posted the incident to their Facebook page, commenting: “For those of you who like to ‘switch tags,’ at least give us a good challenge.”

Police in Las Cruces, New Mexico, who approached a woman driving a stolen car on March 7 were surprised when she identified herself as pop singer Beyonce Knowles, according to police documents. The Las Cruces Sun News reported officers had to use a fingerprint scanner to properly identify Surena Henry, 48. Henry at first ignored police when they tried to pull her over, according to court documents, but they followed her to her home, where she got out of the car but refused to give them her name. She was charged with stealing the vehicle, concealing her identity and resisting arrest.
