Find the Helpers

T

his is the Bay Weekly edition we never imagined producing. The entire state is under a “stay at home” order to slow the spread of a deadly pandemic. Not even the experts are willing to guess how long it will take.

Like many businesses, Bay Weekly operations are just about completely remote. We’ve adopted video conference calls like so many others. We’re now conducting interviews entirely by phone or FaceTime. Even getting the paper into your hands becomes a challenge.

(Note: We’re now supplementing this newspaper with an online, digital edition you can find on our Bay Weekly Newspaper Facebook page and at bayweekly.com so you don’t miss an issue while staying at home.)

Rest assured, we’re pushing on with the kind of community stories you expect from us. And we’re committed to finding the positive in all of this.

Over the weekend, while a lot of America escaped their own reality with a bizarre Netflix show about tiger breeders, I watched A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, the 2019 Tom Hanks movie inspired by the life of children’s television host Mr. Rogers. It reminded me of an often-cited

quote from Fred Rogers.

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’”

That approach is especially useful now, as the pandemic we’ve been preparing for is officially here and the statistics get more frightening.

CBM and Bay Weekly are taking the Mr. Rogers approach, looking for “the helpers,” and telling their stories.

In this issue, area distilleries quickly pivoted to producing hand sanitizer in a move reminiscent of America’s industrial war effort during World War II. Calvert County medical organizations call on neighbors to donate supplies.

Even for those of us not directly affected by COVID-19, these are trying times. Just when we think restrictions have been placed on every part of our lives, additional social distancing orders come out. This week, we’re still processing the executive order requiring everyone to stay home except for essential activities. Recreational boating (with the exception of kayaking/paddleboarding for exercise and fishing to feed your family)

is not allowed. On the Chesapeake Bay—think of it!

In a topsy-turvy world, we hold onto whatever normalcy we have left. At Bay Weekly, that normalcy is the annual Home and Garden Issue. You will still find home and garden resources inside, but instead of in-person services, these local businesses are offering online tutorials, DIY advice and help in planning future projects. They are all useful right now, even amid social distancing.

We invite you to get inspired by this issue’s quarantine-friendly home ideas. A successfully completed house project can bring a feeling of accomplishment and fresh starts—something we can all use at this moment when looking ahead may seem futile.

We urge you to stick with us as we seek out “the helpers” in Bay country—shedding light on the people and businesses who are making this pandemic feel less scary. p — MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM NEWS DIRECTOR

BAY SEAFOOD INDUSTRY CHANGES PLANS AMID RESTAURANT CLOSURES he Chesapeake Bay’s seafood industry has been especially hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic, as buyers dry up for oysters and prices plummet for fish and crabs.

T

Watermen say they’ve given up on the final weeks of the oyster season, as restaurant and raw bar closures have deprived them of lucrative markets for their catch.

“It’s very drastic,” said Robert T. Brown Sr., president of the Maryland Watermen’s Association. “I’ve seen things bad, but I’ve never seen them like this before.”

Oyster farmers say they’re idled for the same reason, though some are trying to eke out some direct sales to consumers. Ted Cooney, founder of Madhouse Oysters on Hooper’s Island on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, said sales suddenly stopped at a time when they’re usually selling 100 or more boxes of bivalves every week.

The oyster shutdown extends Baywide, as Maryland and Virginia have both limited food establishments to takeout or delivery.

“With no restaurants, there are no sales,” said Mike Oesterling, executive director of the Virginia Shellfish Growers Association. “The industry is

pretty much at a standstill right now.”

Some oyster farmers who have state and federal licenses to do so are peddling their shellfish themselves. When restaurant orders stopped, Scott Budden, co-owner of Orchard Point Oyster Co. on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, said he and his partners began offering their products for pickup at a bar in Chestertown and at their offices on Kent Island. They spread the word via Facebook and with paper flyers posted at the stores still open.

In the first week, the partners’ hustle brought in about 20% of the revenue they normally make, Budden said. They are now looking into trying to expand their market beyond the Shore by offering to ship refrigerated boxes of oysters via FedEx or UPS. “We’ve got to keep the lights on if we want to stay in business,” Budden said.

Crabbing season began March 17 in Virginia, where at least some watermen have pivoted to the new fishery.

J.C. Hudgins, president of the Virginia

4 • BAY WEEKLY • April 2 - April 9, 2020

Waterman’s Association, said the market for crabs has been slow so far, but there are still some buyers for takeout sales in places like Washington, DC, and Baltimore.

The prices watermen are getting for their catch, though, are “about half what it was last year,” Hudgins said.

Those buyers interested in crabs are offering $40 to $45 per bushel for females and up to $125 a bushel for large male “jimmies,” he said.

Watermen and oyster farmers alike say they fear their livelihoods could be affected for some time to come, depending on how long people are out of work and restaurants shut down.

Even when restrictions ease, they say, they expect a glut of fish and shellfish will suddenly flood the markets, keeping prices depressed.

Oyster growers also say the shutdown comes at a particularly inopportune time. Those who raise bivalves in cages say they need to harvest them now so they can use that gear to plant the next crop. Otherwise, they’ll lose a year of production.

“We’re looking at different options of what can be done,” said Oesterling of the Virginia Shellfish Growers group.

“But right now, it’s just a matter of hunkering down, trying to survive.”

MD. WARNS, “NO WIPES IN THE PIPES” TO STOP SEWAGE OVERFLOWS t’s an unwanted side effect of the COVID-19 pandemic: toilet paper “alternatives” and disinfectant wipes are suddenly being flushed down toilets more than usual. That’s a problem because things like wipes, tissues and

I

paper towels can clog pipes, cause sewage backups and send overflows into our waterways.

At a time when everyone is sanitizing surfaces against COVID-19, buying Clorox or Lysol wipes in bulk, and many folks are “getting creative” as they start running out of toilet paper, some people may be tempted to flush these products. Don’t–they should be thrown in the trash.

It’s not a pleasant topic, but the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) wants to prevent sewage backups and overflows before they cause bacteria levels to spike, causing threats to both public health and the ecosystem.

“Communities in Maryland understand the value of our sewers and treatment plants and the fact that clean water begins at home with proper disposal of wipes and other materials,” said Maryland Environment Secretary Ben Grumbles.

If you think the “flushable wipes” you can buy in the toilet paper aisle are safe to flush, think again. Len the Plumber explains that even though these wipes do eventually break down, the process is much slower than it is for toilet paper, making wipes more prone to clogging.

CALVERT COUNTY HOSTS COMMUNITY DRIVE FOR MEDICAL SUPPLIES f you want to help local medical efforts in the COVID-19 fight, Calvert County and CalvertHealth Medical Center are collecting cleaning and medical supplies to stem the spread of cases.

While CHMC says it currently has the supplies needed to care for its patients and protect its staff, the county and the medical center are looking to increase its inventory and take proactive measures during the pandemic.

Community members and local businesses can help by donating the following medical materials and supplies:

I

Unopened containers of hand sanitizer Unopened bleach wipes Unopened boxes of surgical masks Unopened boxes of N95 masks Unopened boxes of exam gloves Unopened boxes of isolation or procedure gown If you have supplies to donate, contact CHMC’s Director of Patient, Family and Volunteer Services Susan Stevens at susan.stevens@calverthealthmed.org to coordinate collecting the donations.

Please note that all items must be unopened materials.

The hospital is also accepting donations of homemade gowns and masks.

The Centers for Disease Control has provided clinical guidance for these masks which can be used for patients and healthcare workers who have a low-risk of exposure to COVID-19.

Other ways to help:

Give the gift of blood. Those who are healthy and asymptomatic (no fever, cough, sore throat, etc.) can schedule an appointment to give blood through the American Red Cross at redcross.org. The Red Cross is anticipating critical blood shortages throughout this crisis and one donation has the potential to save up to three lives.

Give the gift of hope. Share words of gratitude and encouragement with the CalvertHealth team by dropping a line in the submission form located on the website. Leave a kind word, inspiring message or upload an image or document.

For more ways you can assist, visit CHMC online at calverthealthmedicine.org/Ways-You-Can-Help.

Maryland Distilleries Mass-Produce Hand Sanitizer ith the rise of local wineries and craft breweries also comes craft distilleries—Chesapeake Bay companies producing smaller-batch liquor.

The distillery business has been one of the fastest to switch into COVID-19 crisis mode, pivoting in a matter of days from producing alcohol for drinking to producing it for hand sanitizer.

Sagamore Spirits in Baltimore, Lyons Distilling in St. Michaels, McClintock in Frederick, and Blackwater on Kent Island quickly got up to speed to deliver this crucial resource to first responders and medical personnel.

McClintock Distilling, at the headwaters of the Monocacy River, gave Bay Bulletin a virtual look at how they’re churning out thousands of gallons of hand sanitizer (see the video online).

W

McClintock co-owner Braeden Bumpers says switching over was a nobrainer. “We started getting requests from first responders and medical people that they could not get any hand sanitizer; we went into it pretty much right away.”

The distillery, which is known for making gin and whiskey, already produces a base ingredient for cleaning our hands.

“The active ingredient in hand sanitizer is something we already make, which is ethyl alcohol or ethanol. So, we’re already built to make up the major ingredient in hand sanitizer,” says Bumpers.

Workers take that pure ethanol and mix it with vegetable glycerin, hydrogen peroxide, and water in accordance with World Health Organization recommendations. It is then packaged into small bottles, gallon-sized containers or barrels.

HOLLYWOOD DIRECTOR’S “BEST WATERFRONT VIEW IN ANNAPOLIS” SELLS FOR $5M

hand sanitizer. And Sagamore Spirit, started by Under Armour founder Kevin Plank, has committed to produce 54,000 liters of the disinfectant.

At McClintock, Bumpers says making hand sanitizer isn’t a cash cow.

“We’re not trying to make a ton of money off of this, we’re really just trying to be able to afford the next stash of ingredients to make more hand sanitizer.”

But it does fulfill a need for essential workers who can’t constantly wash their hands the old-fashioned way, as the CDC urges all of us to do.

“Washing your hands is still much more effective. We’re really trying to get this to people like police and fire and non-profits and hospitals that don’t have access to hand washing stations,” says Bumpers.

Until hand sanitizer is freely available again to those who need it, the Bay’s distilleries will stay dedicated to cleanliness rather than cocktails.

altimore’s Academy-Award winning director Barry Levinson has sold his waterfront Annapolis estate, which Orioles Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. also once called home, for $5 million.

While the buyer remains anonymous, he or she will enjoy a 270degree view of Spa Creek and city landmarks from a 6,740-square-foot mansion that sits atop a 0.3-acre peninsula in Eastport, just south of downtown Annapolis.

“If a buyer wanted a spectacular house with what’s likely the best waterfront view in all of Annapolis, this would be it,” said Karen Hubble Bisbee, principal of Hubble Bisbee of Long & Foster Real Estate and Christie’s International Real Estate, who brokered the deal. “It’s one of those homes where you open the door and your breath is immediately taken away because of the amazing water views available at every angle.”

The home was built in 2010 for Levinson, the Baltimore native who directed the 1980s film Diner (shot in Charm City), as well as Hollywood hits The Natural, Good Morning Vietnam, and Rain Man. In 2015, Levinson rented the property to Cal Ripken, Jr., who had recently moved to Annapolis. Both celebrities enjoyed views of steady boat traffic and the opening and closing of Spa Creek Drawbridge, along with events like the Eastport Yacht Club’s Lights Parade and Annapolis Yacht Club’s Wednesday Night Sailboat Races in Annapolis Harbor.

Levinson kept his red-hulled and navy blue boat Avalon (named for the 1990 Baltimore-based drama he directed) on the property’s 220 feet of waterfront. While it’s unclear whether Ripken Jr. ever kept a boat there, we do know that he’s a regular on the waters of Annapolis.

“This home would make a boater out of anybody,” said Hubble Bisbee.

The home’s sale took place in just nine days despite the national COVID-19 pandemic, and Hubble Bisbee credits modern technology like virtual tours and e-notary, e-document, and e-property records services with making it happen. (The home’s stunning views didn’t hurt, either).

The only question left is who’ll be moving in and starting to live the lifestyle of the rich (and maybe famous) next at 203 Lockwood Court.

“We can get wallpaper or fabric samples shipped directly to your home,” Morris says. “It may be a little slower getting to you, but most manufacturers are still operating with skeleton crews in the warehouses.”

If your coworkers complain that all they see of you on the video chat is a dark shadow (as happened to our CEO/Captain during this week’s Bay Weekly meeting), it’s time for more— and better—lighting. Working from home means you’re burning through more light bulbs, too.

Looking for a little guidance? To give you an idea of what sells, visit a local online auction site, Bunting Online Auctions in Dunkirk.

“We have published the current auction that we were working on to give people a sneak peek while they are bored at home,” says owner Dawn Bunting. “We have more here and in our storage unit. We’ll be adding some (items) every now and then.”

Bunting suggests people target areas of the house they have been meaning to clean out and set aside items they do not need, want or enjoy. “Bring them into the auction house when we reopen,” Bunting says. “If we do a slow reopen, we’re considering a low-contact pick up.”

That would likely mean you’d schedule a pickup over the phone; leave the items on the porch and a Bunting team member would come pick them up and leave you a receipt.

Use containers. Junk drawers, cabinets, and closets—almost any space—can benefit from sorting like with like and then storing those items together.

When deciding what to keep and what to toss, ask yourself, “Do I love this item and is it useful?” If the answer to both questions is yes, keep it. If the answer to both is no, toss it. If you answer yes to one question and no to the other, put the item aside and come back to it.

Best way to fold towels? It all depends on the shape of the space where you are storing them.

While Scott and Schneider can tell us how to eliminate clutter, Hunt is all about the why. “Why do we have clutter and how does it make us feel?” she asks. “Clutter is symptomatic of other issues in a person’s life.”

She explains that objects have energy and clutter can make people feel angry, tired and frustrated. “Dixie and Sammi can help you get organized. It’s my job (through counseling) to help you stay organized.”

Have a gardening question?

Email editor@bayweekly.com and Maria may answer it in an upcoming column.

How to Create Themed Container Pots B eing home with your family is a wonderful time for bonding until you run out of fun things to do. During these unbelievably stressful times, turning to gardening can help everyone.

Planting a garden together can be educational for young and old alike.

Very young children can learn numbers and colors as they count out seeds or identify plants. Older children can learn science, such as botany, the role of photosynthesis and why the plant world is so important. Teaching kids where their food comes from will make them more aware environmentally.

You can plant theme gardens in a pot or in the ground depending on what you have available. Turn it into a competition to see who can grow the most tomatoes or cucumbers, or make the prettiest bouquet. Help children create a culinary dish from their garden, tell a story about fairies in the garden, or give a garden pot to a neighbor to lighten up their day.

Various theme gardens can be made simply with a pot, soil, fertilizer and some seeds. There are plenty of mail-order nurseries with diverse seed collections. Botanical Interests is one of my favorite seed companies as they put a lot of information on their seed packets.

Some theme gardens try to include a pollinator garden with plants that attract native pollinators like various milkweeds and monarda.

A cool weather vegetable garden with radishes, carrots and cabbage (afterwards, you can gather your young children to tell the story of Peter Rabbit); A berry garden full of raspberries, blueberries and strawberries, so the whole family can look forward to the first fruits.

Kitchen herbs also make a great theme garden for teaching kids how to cook. Rosemary, basil, thyme, sage and cilantro can all be tasted and smelled so kids can become familiar with them.

A pizza garden with a tomato plant, oregano, garlic and basil has always been popular with kids especially when they get to snip the herbs and sprinkle them on a simple pizza.

Children of all ages, even adults, enjoy making miniature fairy gardens where all the fairy lore can be brought out. Tell them how forgetme-nots hold the keys to “fairyland.”

STORY AND PHOTO BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

Spotting Spotted Turtles O ver the years, I have always tried to get out and explore semi-wild spaces on a weekly basis. It allows me to wind down and feel that certain kind of calm that the woods and nature bring. Because our current situation calls for social isolation, I think it is a good time to explore local parks, trails

over four inches but can live to be over 100 years old. They do not reach sexual maturity until over 15 years old. The sexes, similar to a few other turtles, are determined by the temperature during incubation. The young have only one yellow spot per shell plate, about 15, but as they age more spots appear, up to 100

The tiny turtle I found at Huntley Meadows could have been a century old—they stop growing after about 15 years. [those where it’s possible to maintain six feet] and just get outside.

On one of my spring trips I found a very special turtle, a spotted turtle. I was walking on the boardwalk at Huntley Meadows Park in Virginia. The day was cool but the sun was out and at the edge of the bog was a small dark turtle with bright yellow spots. It was trying to get warm in the sun. That was only the second one I have seen in the wild.

Spotted turtles have no close relatives; they are in a genus all their own. They live in eastern North America from Florida to Canada and prefer calm shallow water and bogs. These omnivores eat almost anything they can get in their mouths.

They are small turtles that rarely grow

yellow spots can show up.

Each turtle lives within a very small range so they have trouble adapting to habitat loss and draining of wetlands.

Their numbers are also threatened by reptile collectors.

The tiny turtle I found at Huntley Meadows (see photo) could have been a century old—they stop growing after about 15 years. I enlarged the photo to count the rings on the scute (shell plates).

It appears this turtle was between 10 and 14 years old. It is hard to believe that a 10year-old turtle is still a juvenile.

Get out and take a walk in the woods.

The wildflowers have started to bloom and the birds have started their spring songs. ‫ﵭ‬

SPORTING LIFE

BY DENNIS DOYLE

s if COVID-19 wasn’t enough.

The shiny black devils made their reappearance during the first nice day last week. My wife was puttering near the overgrown border of our goldfish pond out front. The local water birds and neighborhood cats had finally emptied the small basin’s contents of all the koi, goldfish and the few frogs that had persevered over the last few years, so we were thinking of draining and cleaning it this spring and starting over fresh.

“The black widows are back,” was all she said as she passed by me working on my boat engine. I murmured a few choice expletives and went to look for the chemical spray I had been using over the years to eliminate the nasty critters. Then she added, “I looked under the toad house and there they were. One big female, the size of a marble with its red hourglass insignia plus a small boyfriend.”

Our home’s landscape suffers from a general gardening policy of laissez faire. But our birds like it, the squirrels love it and our young Labrador continues to delight in tearing about, throwing divots in his wake.

It’s not the garden of a catalog cover.

U n f o r t u n a t e l y, sometimes one or two black widows hang about on the fringes of the lawn, taking advantage of the cover of the heavier growths of weeds that we ignore or the remnants of my spouse’s attempts to grow any of the leafier ornamentals. They also, occasionally and alarmingly, will lounge in their fresh webs among the kayaks, canoes or crab cooking implements that are constantly strewn about.

That occasional presence has definitely ensured that our family

FISHFINDER: Fishfinder is suspended until the current medical crisis is past and our governor feels it is safe to venture out. The COVID-19 pandemic has rendered the springtime bite problematic; I cannot in good conscience urge anyone to expose themselves during this ultra-contagious event.

Do not take chances, after all it’s not just you, it’s everyone with whom you'll eventually contact. I hope the worst is over by rockfish season, May 1.

remains alert to their dangers. We wear gloves and long sleeves for any gardening and look carefully before grabbing anything that’s been undisturbed for a week or two.

There is allegedly little chance of an adult succumbing to its virulently toxic bite but the black widow is one of the more dangerous arachnids that flourish in Maryland.

While most spiders are beneficial in controlling the populations of bugs and other small critters that also thrive in our fertile climate, the southern black widow is not a popular species.

Long ago, while researching the impact of its bite, the one consistent recommendation I found was that the victim immediately seek medical help.

The venom is a neurotoxin which always has the potential to be dangerous since it attacks the central nervous system. Though the small amount of the substance usually secreted in the widow’s bite is not enough to be fatal, it can be serious if one is particularly sensitive to it. No one is immune.

It takes about 30 minutes before the symptoms begin to show—involuntary muscle spasms and confusion. You’ll want someone else to drive you to the ER. The site of the bite will turn reddish and begin to swell slightly.

Then it begins to hurt, often excruciatingly, which is when medical assistance becomes necessary. Treatment is usually anesthetics and in severe cases, antivenin.

I returned to the pond and the upturned toad house and dispatched the two culprits. The springtime chill had rendered them torpid but I felt no twinge of remorse in their passing. There wasn’t evidence of an egg sack nearby and, though the presence of the small male indicated that a mating scenario was in progress, I would not have to concern myself with the 200 or so spiderlings that can issue from such an event. Good to know. ‫ﵭ‬ W E D N E S D AY

THE MOVIEGOER

BY DIANA BEECHENER

Culinary Inspiration Great movies about food from your streaming services t’s week three and if you’re home looks anything like Moviegoer Manor, you’re staring at your cupboards and wondering if putting Old Bay on cereal will give you a fun new flavor profile to sample.

Quarantine living is stressful. Stores are running low on flour because more and more people are choosing to bake their blues away. This week, the Moviegoer wants to offer quarantined culinary artists some inspiration with six great films about the joys of food.

I

PRIME

Bottle Shock Sommelier Steven Spurrier (Alan Rickman) is an Englishman trying to make his mark on the Paris wine scene. Though he loves wine, the Parisians view him as an interloper and his shop is failing.

But Spurrier has an idea: American vineyards are gaining ground and Spurrier wants to put them to the test. He proposes a blind tasting in Paris, six American wines against six French wines, the winning country gets to claim they make the greatest wines in the world.

First, though, Spurrier must travel to America and select the wines. As he tours California vineyards, Spurrier is struck with the quality of the wine in the states. Will his publicity stunt get him the respect of the Parisians, or will it open up the world to new vintages?

Based on the real Judgement of Paris, a 1976 blind taste testing that pitted American upstarts against powerful Paris vintners, Bottle Shock is a hilarious and fun look at how the California wine industry earned their place on the world map. Featuring great performances by Rickman, Chris Pine, and Bill Pullman, this is a film with a lot of heart.

shows the tremendous amount of care and heart that goes into making a meal for your family, as well as the absolutely delicious results.

Good Dramedy * PG-13 * 102 mins.

HULU

Jiro Dreams of Sushi A legend for his exemplary sushi rolls, Jiro Ono’s small restaurant in the basement of a Tokyo office building draws foodies from around the world.

Devoted to traditional practices and uncompromising quality, Jiro is training the next generation of master sushi chefs as he serves rolls to the public.

A documentary about one of the most famous restaurants in all of Japan, Jiro Dreams of Sushi gives you a glimpse of the hard work and art that goes into making just one piece of sushi. Director David Gelb captures the beauty of the process—from trips to the fish market to the intense labor of preparation to the art of assembling a perfect bite for the customer.

Great Documentary * PG * 81 mins.

NETFLIX

Salt Fat Acid Heat Have you ever wondered what makes certain meals so good and others just…blah? Chef Samin Nosrat takes the mystery out of cooking in the sumptuous docu-series Salt Fat Acid Heat. Nosrat helps you understand that great food is a combination of four basic elements: salt, fat, acid and heat.

Nosrat travels the globe to explore cuisines and how they choose to combine these basic elements. Each nation chooses to combine these tastes in different ways, and Nosrat teaches you how to bring out bold flavor in your next dish.

If your in-home cooking has seemed bland during the quarantine, Salt Fat Acid Heat will inspire you to embrace taste and flavor.

KANOPY

Like Water for Chocolate

Tortilla Soup After the death of his wife, Chef Martin Naranjo (Héctor Elizondo) lost his ability to taste and smell. Though he can’t cook in his restaurant anymore, Martin still makes elaborate family meals that he expects his three adult daughters to attend every week. The girls love their father, but also need a bit of a break from his overbearing nature, so they begin to plot to set him up with someone.

While the daughters scheme, Martin befriends a lonely little girl and begins making her extravagant lunches to take to school. Will feeding this child help Martin rekindle his love of cooking?

A remake of Eat, Drink, Man, Woman, an Asian film, Tortilla Soup translates the cooking and the heartfelt storytelling to a new culture beautifully. The scenes of Martin preparing exquisite dinners for his family are absolutely mouthwatering. Director Maria Ripoll

Literally born on the kitchen table, Tita (Lumi Cavazos) learns early how important food is to a family. Taken under the wing of the family’s cook, Tita is so passionate about cooking that she infuses every dish she makes with her emotions. Her joys and sorrows all find their way into her meals, inspiring raptures and grief in all who taste them.

But when Tita falls in love, her happy life is thrown into turmoil. As the youngest daughter in her traditional family, Tita is told she can never marry, as it is her duty to care for her domineering mother until she dies.

A beautiful sensual story of love and food, Like Water for Chocolate is both heart wrenching and mouthwatering. Director Alfonso Arau creates a sweeping love story with mesmerizing performances and glorious cinematography.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “If all the world’s a stage, where the hell is the teleprompter,” asks aphorist Sami Feiring. In my astrological opinion, you Aries are the least likely of all the signs to identify with that perspective. While everyone else might wish they could be better prepared for the nonstop improvisational tests of everyday life, most of you tend to prefer what I call the “naked spontaneity” approach. If you were indeed given the chance to use a teleprompter, you’d probably ignore it. Everything I just said is especially and intensely true for you right now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When Nobel Prize-winning Norwegian author Knut Hamsun was 25 years old, a doctor told him that the tuberculosis he had contracted would kill him within three months. But in fact, Hamsun lived 67 more years, till the age of 92. I suspect there’s an equally erroneous prophecy or unwarranted expectation impacting your life right now. A certain process or phenomenon that seems to be nearing an end may in fact reinvent or resurrect itself, going on to last for quite some time. I suggest you clear away any misapprehensions you or others might have about it.

barian.” Russian superstar author Leo Tolstoy claimed The Bard had “a complete absence of aesthetic feeling.” England’s first Poet Laureate John Dryden called Shakespeare’s language “scarcely intelligible.” T. E. Lawrence, a.k.a Lawrence of Arabia, declared The Bard had a second-rate mind.

Lord Byron said, “Shakespeare’s name stands too absurdly high and will go down.”

His contemporary, the poet and playwright Ben Johnson, asserted that he “never had six lines together without a fault.” I offer these cheeky views to encourage you Leos to enjoy your own idol-toppling and authorityquestioning activities in the coming weeks.

You have license to be an irrepressible iconoclast.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgoborn Jack Ma is China’s richest person and one of the world’s most powerful businessmen. He co-founded Alibaba, the Chinese version of Amazon.com. He likes his employees to work hard, but also thinks they should cultivate a healthy balance between work and life. In his opinion, they should have sex six times a week, or 312 times a year. Some observers have suggested that’s too much—especially if you labor 12 hours a day, six days a week, as Jack Ma prefers—but it may not be excessive for you Virgos. The coming months could be a very erotic time. But please practice safe sex in every way imaginable.

about that possibility. If you’ve been dreaming off and on about a big project that could activate your dormant creative powers and captivate your imagination for a long time to come, now would be a perfect moment to get more practical about it. If you have fantasized about finding a new role that would allow you to express even more of your beauty and intelligence, you have arrived at a fertile phase to move to the next stage of that fantasy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I suggest you make room in your life for a time of sacred rejuvenation. Here are activities you might try: Recall your favorite events of the past. Reconnect with your roots.

Research your genetic heritage. Send prayers to your ancestors, and ask them to converse with you in your dreams. Have fun feeling what it must have been like when you were in your mother’s womb. Get a phone consultation with a past life regression therapist who can help you recover scenes from your previous incarnations. Feel reverence and gratitude for traditions that are still meaningful to you. Reaffirm your core values—the principles that serve as your lodestar. And here’s the number one task I recommend: Find a place of refuge in your imagination and memories; use your power of visualization to create an inner sanctuary.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I invite you to remember what you were thinking and feeling around your birthday in 2019. Were there specific goals you hoped to accomplish between then and your birthday in 2020? Were there bad old habits you aimed to dissolve and good new habits you proposed to instigate? Was there a lingering wound you aspired to heal or a debilitating memory you longed to conquer? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to take inventory of your progress in projects like those. And if you find that you have achieved less than you had hoped, I trust you will dedicate yourself to playing catchup in the weeks between now and your birthday. You may be amazed at how much ground you can cover.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): How hard are you willing to work on your most important relationships? How might your life change for the better if you gave them your most potent resourcefulness and panache? The next eight weeks will be a favorable time for you to attend to these matters, Libra. During this fertile time, you will have unprecedented power to reinvigorate togetherness with imaginative innovations. I propose you undertake the following task: Treat your intimate alliances as creative art projects that warrant your supreme ingenuity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Are we just being poetic and fanciful when we say that wonder is a survival skill?

Not according to the editors who assembled the collection of essays gathered in a book called Wonder and Other Survival Skills.

They propose that a capacity to feel awe and reverence can help us to be vital and vigorous; that an appreciation for marvelous things makes us smart and resilient; that it’s in our selfish interests to develop a humble longing for sublime beauty and an attraction to sacred experiences. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to dive deep into these healing pleasures, dear Aquarius.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I can’t swim. Why? There was a good reason when I was a kid: I’m allergic to chlorine, and my mom wouldn’t let me take swimming lessons at the local chlorinetreated pool. Since then, the failure to learn is inexcusable, and I’m embarrassed about it. Is there an equivalent phenomenon in your life, my fellow Cancerian? The coming weeks might be an excellent time to meditate on how to correct the problem. Now excuse me while I head out to my solo selfadministered swim lesson at Bass Lake, buoyed by the instructions I got from a Youtube video.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Is William Shakespeare the greatest author who ever lived? French philosopher Voltaire didn’t think so, calling him “an amiable bar-

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I make mistakes,” confessed author Jean Kerr. “I’ll be the second to admit it.”

She was making a joke, contrasting her tepid sense of responsibility with the humbler and more common version of the idiom, which is “I make mistakes; I’ll be the first to admit it.” In the coming weeks, I’ll be fine if you merely match her mild level of apology—just as long as you do indeed acknowledge some culpability in what has gone amiss or awry or off-kilter. One way or another, you need to be involved in atonement and correction—for your own sake.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you have been thinking of adopting a child or getting pregnant with a new child, the coming weeks will be a favorable time to enter a new phase of rumination

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): For decades, the city of Sacramento, California suffered from severe floods when the Sacramento and American Rivers overflowed their banks. Residents authorized a series of measures to prevent these disasters, culminating in the construction of a 59,000-acre floodplain that solved the problem. According to my analysis, the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to plan an equally systematic transformation.

It could address a big ongoing problem like Sacramento’s floods, or it could be a strategy for reorganizing and recreating your life so as to gloriously serve your long-term

dreams.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

COMPILED BY ANDREWS McMEEL SYNDICATION

Florida Police in Pinellas County, Florida, responded to the Clearwater Mall late on March 22, where witnesses had reported a woman screaming in a parked car. According to an arrest affidavit, the officers discovered the woman and Robert Janisch, 21, “wrestling with each other” in their birthday suits. The couple told police that after they had intercourse, the woman went to urinate outside the car, using a napkin to wipe herself, which she then accidentally threw on Janisch, prompting an argument. The affidavit stated the argument escalated to the point that Janisch choked his girlfriend, but he contended the marks on her neck occurred earlier at the beach. WFLA reported Janisch was arrested for domestic battery.

Signs of the Apocalypse (As If We Needed More) Steward Gatt, also known as Stewy the Snake Catcher, was summoned to a yard in Ardeer, Victoria, Australia, in midMarch, where he bagged up a female tiger snake in order to relocate it in the wild.

But when Gatt opened the bag a short time later, he discovered the snake had given birth to several offspring—one of which had two heads. According to United Press International, Gatt took the snakes to Direct Vet Services and had them checked over. The usual one-headed babies were fine, but the two-headed specimen had to be euthanized; “... these animals are not generally viable so it was euthanized on humane grounds,” the clinic posted on its Facebook page. Mom and babies were returned to the wild according to plan.

Oops Vicar Simon Beach, 61, of St. Budeaux Parish Church in Plymouth, England, was uncomfortable enough as he launched into his first virtual church service on March 22, calling it “surreal.” But as he leaned into the camera to deliver the final portion of his sermon, he looked to his left and calmly deadpanned, “Oh dear, I’ve just caught fire.” Beach had leaned a bit too close to one of several nearby candles and ignited his sleeve. “I just felt my arm getting a bit hot,” he told Metro News. The

flame damaged his sweater and shirt, but did not burn his skin. Beach was teased a bit by fellow vicars, who razzed him for being “on fire for Jesus.” “People have laughed and laughed, really,” Beach said.

Crafting During the Coronavirus Steve Walton of Shotley Bridge, England, took a bad spill in 2018 and, after a series of surgeries, had to have the lower part of his leg amputated in January. He was scheduled to be fitted with a prosthetic leg in mid-March, but his appointment was delayed because of the coronavirus crisis. That was when his wife, Atchari, went to work, making a leg for him using a bucket, fiberglass resin and wood. The first attempt kept falling off (“It was more akin to something Long John Silver would wear,” Walton said), but Ms. Walton refined her project using a moon boot, and it worked. “My wife is very practical. She can turn her hand to anything,” Walton told the BBC. “I am not going to use this regularly, but it will be good for getting around the house for the next three to six months. There are people far worse off than me at the minute.”

Least Competent Criminal Kenneth Braden, 65, filled his shopping cart at a Nashville-area Kroger store with essentials—five cases of beer and two packages of toilet paper—on March 11, then bypassed the checkout lanes, according to court documents. As he attempted to leave the store, he tripped the alarm sensors at the door and the wheels on his cart locked up. After several unsuccessful attempts to move the cart, he fled the store. WZTV reported Metro Police later picked him up and charged him with theft of merchandise and driving on a suspended license.

Lesson Learned Taiwan has strictly cracked down on its citizens during the COVID-19 pandemic, using GPS on phones to monitor the movement of those in quarantine. One man got a particularly costly lesson when he violated the quarantine to go clubbing, AFP reported. The unnamed man, who

was required to self-quarantine for 14 days after returning from Southeast Asia, was charged $1 million Taiwanese (about $33,000 US) after he was found at a Taipei nightclub on March 22. Authorities deemed his night out “malicious,” and the New Taipei mayor, Hou Yu-ih, warned, “I will not be soft-handed.”

Neighbors Helping Neighbors In Richfield, Wisconsin, neighbors Eric Trzcinski and Trevor Reinke have missed sharing a beer while they are socially isolating. So Trzcinski came up with a novel idea: He’s a car guy, and happened to have a spare exhaust tip that was the perfect size to hold a bottle of beer. Using zip ties, he strapped the tip to a remote control car, then dropped a bottle of Corona (yes, on purpose) into the pipe. He called Reinke, told him to start videotaping, and Reinke caught the little delivery as it zoomed across a busy street and up his driveway, delivering the cold brew into his hands.

Trzcinski’s Facebook post featuring the video racked up more than 5 million views, he told FOX6 News on March 24.

Not Funny Joe Fasula, co-owner of Gerrity’s Supermarket in Hanover Township, Pennsylvania, had “a very challenging day” on March 25. A woman who claimed she had the coronavirus, later identified by police as Margaret Chirko, “came into the store and proceeded to purposely cough on our fresh produce, and a small section of our bakery, meat case and grocery,” he wrote on Facebook. While the staff “did the best they could to get the woman out of the store as fast as possible,” he said, the health department had to help disinfect the store, and the “twisted prank” resulted in the loss of $35,000 worth of food. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports the Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office has charged Chirko with threatening to use weapons of mass destruction and making terroristic threats. It is not known whether the woman has COVID-19. ‫ﵭ‬ Send your weird news items with subject line WEIRD NEWS to WeirdNewsTips@amuniversal.com.

How many two or more letter words can you make in 2 minutes from the letters in: Snorkel The way we know the word Snorkel, meaning curved tube used by a swimmer to breathe underwater, didn't enter our vocabulary until 1951. The word is German in origin meaning 'nose snout.' It was used to describe the schnoz-looking air tube used in U-Boats during WWII. Most subs then could remain submerged for two or three days before surfacing for air. The Allies borrowed the idea and the USS Jimmy Durante set the all-time underwater record of two years, seven months, eighteen days, four hours, twelve minutes, six seconds, and a cha cha cha cha.

Scoring: 17 - 20 = Ahead; 14 - 16 = Aweigh; 11 - 13 = Amidships; 08 - 10 = Aboard; 04 - 07 = Adrift; 01 - 03 = Aground
