A COOKIE A DAY
If you’ve lived in the area for any amount of time, certainly you’ve heard of Uncle Ralph’s Not Yet Famous Cookies, but do you know the story behind the cookie business? Ever wondered who Uncle Ralph is? This week, writer Andy Stout sleuths it out on the streets of downtown Frederick and brings us some exciting news: After closing its storefront throughout most of the pandemic, the bakery has reopened to the public in recent weeks under new ownership. Read all about it in this week’s cover story (which is chocolate full of cookie puns).

Then you started putting numbers to it. The first time I ever saw anyone write any sort of Stuff metric was in 2018, Jeremy Greenhouse, who’s now the lead nerd for the Cubs. He wrote about Stuff [using] just movement from these cameras.
UnCapped: Eno Sarris — is it safe to say? — specializes in all things geeky when it comes to baseball?
Eno Sarris: I’m a big dork.
Sarris: There was once a player, Darwin Barney ... I said something to him, he walked away, and then from across the clubhouse, he yelled, “Nerd!” I tell myself it was affectionate.
on, he’d discovered a controversy about people cheating, and Dan thought it would be a great idea to commemorate the occasion with a beer named Sticky Stuff. So now we have a new beer and something else new. You’ll have to explain what Stuff+ is, other than a West Coast IPA.
UnCapped: That was definitely with love. Eno also loves craft beer. You used to write more about craft beer than you do now, right?
UnCapped: Which brewery do you think is the best one near Oriole park?
I can’t believe it, that there’s a stat. [Stuff+] is a baseball stat. This is one of the nerdiest baseball stats out there. This is high-quality nerdism, right here.

Sarris: Hold on. [Pops open beer.] There we go. Cheers to Dan for having this idea and putting this together.
Sarris: The data collection is really important. I think about 15 years ago, we started having cameras that could tell you how much the pitch moved — because they’d have the beginning location and the end location — and that was about it.
it. There are a lot of stats in soccer and basketball and football that the general public is never allowed to see. But baseball, I think they did the right thing, because you’ve got a bunch of nerds like me, trying to develop secondary stats, and then people end up in front offices. It ends up being a farm system for analytics for baseball, where there are literally people who use the free data, do cool stuff, and then get hired by baseball. There are guys like me who have made Stuff metrics who get hired by teams. I’d say about half to two-thirds of teams have their own Stuff metrics by now.

UnCapped: I mean, we could put it that way, too, if you want.
I think it’s really important because one of the things we’ve always looked at is velocity. That was, like, step one: “That guy throws 100!” But then we had enough guys where you’re like, “That guy throws 100, and they still spank it.” The guy I think of a lot is Nate Eovaldi. That dude throws 100, and people love hitting his fastball because it’s super straight. He had a whole breakout when he started throwing his fastball 30% of the time and had a cutter and a splitter and all these other pitches he was throwing instead of his fastball, because even though his fastball was 100, it wasn’t thatThisgood.metric tries to also catch the guys who throw 90 and have
Since then, we’ve had Trackman, which was a little more precise, and then in 2020, we installed Hawk-Eye, which is the thing that, if you’re watching tennis, goes “beep” when they make a fault. These cameras can tell you the direction of the spin on the ball, they can tell you all sorts of cool stuff that we didn’t know before, and that’s allowed us to make the usTheyotherdifferentmakesthisthoseBaseball,MajorisMLBAM,Stuffbestmetrics.whichawingofLeaguecollectsstats,andiswhatthemthansports.allowtohave
In this episode of the UnCapped podcast, host Chris Sands welcomes Eno Sarris back to the show, along with guest host Dan Baumiller from Full Tilt Brewing. Sarris writes about baseball for The Athletic, occasionally writes about craft beer, and posts photos of sandwiches on Instagram @enosarris. They talked about Stuff+ (the beer and the stat), baseball and craft beer in general. Here is an excerpt of their talk.
Sarris: Full Tilt, baby! [Laughs.]
This excerpt has been edited for space and clarity. Listen to the full podcast at fnppodcasts.com/ uncapped. Got UnCapped news?
Sarris: I’m not that hardcore anymore. Once or twice a year, I write a piece for The Athletic. I’ve ranked all the ballparks by their beer offerings, I’ve gone through different baseball markets and scouted new breweries ... I usually have one or two big pieces about beer. My latest one was about why beer in ballparks isn’t better. I went into all the distribution issues, all the quality control, all that sort of stuff, and mostly talked about why beer in Yankee stadium is so awful.
Dan Baumiller: Thank you for having me. Thank you for recognizing me for all that I am.

incredible movement on their pitches. Movement is as important as velocity, in a lot of cases.
UnCapped: Speaking of Full Tilt, joining me this evening as special guest host is Dan Baumiller, cofounder of Full Tilt Brewing, Nickelback fan extraordinaire and friend of the show.
Stuff+ is a statistic that tries to measure the physical qualities of a pitch. Things like spin rate, yeah. But also velocity, movement. It’s all defined off the fastball, too, so it’s movement differential. It’s trying to look at the physical characteristics of a good pitch.
For 35 years, Carriage House Inn has been a staple in Emmitsburg dining. The historic building dates back to 1857 and still boasts features that beckon to a different time, such as the stone fireplace. The restaurant recently added a new front patio and bar, according to manager Kristy Shriner. She describes Carriage House as the place for everyday occasions as well as special events. Locals will be familiar with favorites like the jumbo lump crab cakes and herb-crusted prime rib, but the eatery opted to showcase one of its newer additions for this week’s Signature Dish, the steakhouse wedge salad, which the staff hopes will delight new and returning customers alike. Chesapeake crab dip, burgers, lobster and crab mac, and jambalaya are also on the menu. Visit on a Friday or Saturday night, and you’ll be met with the sounds of piano into the evening.

72 HOURS Thursday,
“Do you want to ride with me?” Coolio asks repeatedly toward the end of “Fantastic Voyage.” If he’s going where it looks like he’s going, low-riding his way back into the year 1994, who among us could possibly ever consider denying such a fantastically fun trip?
Others didn’t have as much luck evoking obvious feelings. Even if you know 80% of the words to Vanilla Ice’s “Ice, Ice Baby,” chances are they don’t make you tear up. What they do accomplish, however, is access to a time machine that transports you to a very specific time — both in your own life and in the complicated evolution of pop music. Here’s a white guy appropriating Black music while sampling a Queen song on which David Bowie sang. If that’s not a snapshot of the weird early years of a weird decade, it would be hard to find what is.

BY COLIN MCGUIRE Special to The News-Post
Without jazz music, without rhythm and blues music, there would be no pop music, and, as it goes, jazz music and rhythm and blues music, along with their many variations, have been perfected and originated primarily by African-American artists. That influence has found its way into every piece of pop perfection for decades, from The Beatles and the Temptations all the way to Mariah Carey and Bruno Mars.And yet, through all that rich history, an argument can be made for some of that effect’s most overlooked work also being its most innocent. The timeframe was the early 1990s. On one end, hair metal was giving way to grunge, which was giving way to alt rock. On the other, a resurgence in silly, non-offensive rap music designed solely for the mainstream — let’s call it hip-pop — was dominating airwaves, both in the visual form (MTV) and the sonic form (any FM radioSomedial).of the most prominent artists at the time had their names
spelled out in lights for everyone to remember. There was Coolio, who was an outlier with “Gangsta’s Paradise,” his Very Serious Song that dominated charts and proved even a guy with wacky hair can lack a sense of humor once he got salty about Weird Al taking his story from the streets to the barns (of the Amish).
It truly goes back even further, but if you want to, you can use 1939 as perhaps the biggest turning point in the evolution of popular music in America. Why is that? Blue Note Records opened up shop. And Blue Note Records, as we know by now, provided — and continues to provide — a wide-reaching platform for African-American artists to thrive, as those artists bless this nation with their musical ethos.
did, indeed, look back in anger. It’s currently the year 2022, and the Great Frederick Fair is hosting Coolio and Vanilla Ice, as well as Montell Jordan, Rob Base, Tone Loc and Young MC. That means you’re going to get “It Takes Two,” “This Is How We Do It,” “Wild Thing” and “Bust a Move,” among other classics that you probably can’t name but most certainly can recognize — all on a Thursday night in 2022 in Frederick, Maryland.Andyou want to know what? It’s most likely that you’ll have at least eight fanny packs of fun as you recognize them. Say what you will about nostalgia and dismiss whomever you’d like on the grounds of being one- or two-hit wonders, but the last time these artists were on top of the world was the last time innocent hip-pop existed. From there, it wasn’t long before mainstream music began to very slowly, but very surely, migrate toward EDM and a European influence that detached itself from the grit of, say, West Coast hip-hop or the soul of something like modern-day funk.
So many aspire to live like they did in the 1990s, a time when life felt much more innocent, the music hit a little lighter, and the pop rhythms were dominated by a groove that felt far more musical than it would end up feeling on FM radio a few decades later.
If 1939 was a year that ushered in one of the most important record labels in the last century of American music, one night in 2022 can revisit that groundwork and set the table for a celebration of the sounds that defined so many of our formative years, just like Blue Note did for an entire genre more than 80 years ago.

But, as Oasis would say only a few years later, “Don’t look back in anger,” and the odd thing about early ’90s hip-pop music is that nobody
That’s why the I Love The ’90s tour isn’t a cash grab as much as it is an opportunity for both artist and fan to re-live some of the most memorable days of their lives, all while paying homage to the final moments in pop music history where happy-go-lucky hip-pop truly had influence. It points to a time in American popular cultural history that is beloved for reasons beyond singalongs and house parties; it’s indicative of a bright light that shone freely before a darkness
As the ’90s come to Frederick for one night, it’s time to celebrate the last time hip-hop was this fun
set in, ready to complicate things. Goodbye to being 13 years old and dancing your face off to “Jock Jams”; hello to being 17 and aspiring to live like Fred Durst.
And nobody should want to live like Fred Durst.
Still, there was no denying the infectious West Coast Funk of “Fantastic Voyage” or the fun of “1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin New).” Even when the man born Artis Ivey decided to get tender when he crafted “C U When U Get There,” his knack for hooks ultimately lasted the test of time –there simply isn’t a kid of a certain age alive who used to go to school dances that doesn’t immediately hear that song and begin to mine that awkward field of feelings whenever those melancholic first chords hit.

“The Black music scene in Frederick is bustling, but it’s underground,” she said. “There aren’t many venues for us to perform; there aren’t many events for us to partake in; so, as a result, [I created] 40Fest.”
Organizing 40Fest has not been easy for entrepreneur Wilson. She’s been in business since 2013 and has hosted many community events, but this is by far the largest and one where she’s faced the most hurdles, she said. Her determination paid off in the form of a grant from the Maryland State Arts Council, which gave her the push she needed to keep going and bring 40Fest to Wilsonlife.said
Without public performance opportunities or invitations to participate in festivals in other parts of the county, 40Fest will provide hip-hop performers with a space to express their art. Wilson hopes the event will change the scene “out 40” and open doors for artists who have otherwise been relegated to perform

it’s been a labor of love to get here, after having to convince others to be comfortable with a large hip-hop festival in an open public space and empower performers to share their craft and growth with an audience of diverse supporters. She hopes 40Fest will become an annual event.

40Fest will feature more than 20 primarily rap and R&B performances on Sept. 24 from noon to 7 p.m. in the Frederick Towne Mall parking lot. Community service organizations, local businesses and vendors, a food truck and county services providers, such as the Frederick County Public Libraries, will have booths at the festival.

“I started my business because I witnessed firsthand the disparity between the west side and other beloved parts of Frederick, like downtown Frederick. We were an ignored part of the community, and the only attention we got was for bad headlines,” she said.
People who live in the area are known to use the phrase “out 40” when describing where they are or where they’re from, and there is palpable pride and passion behind Wilson’s talking about the west side of town.
said Kiandre Jackson, a 22-year-old hiphop and R&B artist and poet who will perform at Jackson40Fest.—orKijaay, as he is known in the music world — was born at Frederick Memorial Hospital and is a senior at Towson University. After he graduates with a degree in psychology this December, he plans to continue performing and promoting his most recent album, “HIM.”
Rap artist Cortez Leo will perform at Out40 Festival.
Wilson wanted to bring positive attention to her community and debunk the beliefs held by some that areas along the Golden Mile are rampant with poverty and crime.
40Fest performer, is thankful to Wilson for planning the event, as it will allow him to network in his hometown. The rap artist has had more success finding work outside of Frederick in places where he feels hip-hop music is more accepted, he said. “It has been difficult … [there’s] a lot of competition, and mainstream radio does not play drill or hip-hop.”

“It has been difficult to establish myself as a performer in Frederick because I feel there aren’t many spaces for a Black performing artist to thrive,”
“This is my opinion, because this is a hot debate, but [out] 40 ends at Old Camp Road and it begins by Baughmans Lane,” she said. “It’s a onemile strip of West Patrick Street.”

“Frederick is an artistic community, a very robust arts community, where people travel near and far to visit,” Wilson said. “I think it would only be right for Frederick residents to support this and other types of arts activities they may not be used to, just to keep this alive, keep the representation of Frederick alive, and support all arts.”
But strictly defining the boundaries on a map is something of a touchy subject, according to Wilson.

9-step plan for taking a trip around the world

I had to make a lot of changes to reach my original goal of $15,000. I landed a better-paying job, moved in with my boyfriend to split the rent, pushed the brakes on my social life and worked events on the weekends. The best-paying gigs were brand ambassador jobs. This is when a marketing firm hires you to work events, such as the Miami Open Tennis Tournament. I took vacation days from my full-time job to work that tournament two years in a row.
1. Set a budget
I stayed in budget hotels or shared Airbnbs, took dozens of overnight bus journeys to save on hotel stays and avoided expensive tourist traps. Living on $62 a day meant lowering my standards: I came across a moldy shower head in Prague, a sheetless mattress in Dubrovnik, Croatia; an antinfestation in Mancora, Peru; giant cockroaches in Bali; and the list goes on.
There are two ways to approach long-term travel: slow and fast.
GETAWAYS
3. Make a bucket list
As a general rule of thumb, it’s best to follow one global direction. Research shows that traveling west is easier on the body. You don’t need to follow this rule, but it helps you to avoid backtracking and extra transportation costs.
5. Determine how long you’ll be abroad
The baseline budget for an aroundthe-world trip typically starts at $50 a day. This takes into account all expenses, including transportation, accommodations, food and activities averaged out over the entire trip. You can go over or under, depending on your travel style. I used a helpful spreadsheet created by fellow world traveler Shannon O’Donnell to keep track of expenses in each country.

It took two years to reach my goal, as well as to set aside some extra money for a return fund. That cushion helped keep me afloat when I returned home and began applying for jobs.
2. Create a savings plan
of the planning process is making a bucket list. Write down every country, city or landmark you’ve ever wanted to visit. Road tripping to the Uyuni salt flat in Bolivia and scuba diving in Thailand topped my list. Browse Pinterest and Instagram. Read travel blogs. Flip through magazines. Talk to international friends or those who have lived abroad. Let your imagination run wild. You can shorten this list later on.
Once you have a solid list of places, check for any COVID-19 restrictions at each. Some countries, such as Japan, have yet to fully open for regular visitors.
If you don’t have a set amount of time in mind, try this: Add each city to a spreadsheet. Jot down the number of days you want to spend in each, making sure to factor in transportation time. Add up the number of days.
4. Create your itinerary
Then there’s the weather. Many round-the-world travelers prioritize warm-weather destinations and plan their route around the summer months in each country. Try to fit a puffer jacket into a 40-liter backpack, and you’ll

The 131-acre farm in Middletown first opened its doors to the public in the fall of 1994 with a roadside wagon and an acre and a half of pumpkins. Today, the farm continues to offer acres of pick-your-own pumpkins and mums, as well as a corn maze, hayrides, a jumping pillow, a petting zoo and other activities.Openfrom Sept. 24 to Oct. 31, the farm offers free admission during the weekdays (an admission fee is collected on weekends) and features a market with decorations,
For more than a quarter of a century, patrons gathered at Summers Farm’s Mount Phillip Road Frederick location. With the land designated for the development of more than 300 single-family homes and townhouses, Summers Farm moved to a new location for this year’s festival on Hollow Road in Middletown.Thenewproperty boasts 165 acres, while the former location had 100, which means even more room for fun. More than 45 activities are available during their annual Fall Festival, which runs weekly through Oct. 31. Folks can also enjoy fireworks every Friday and Saturday night, weather permitting.
The farm has received international attention for its corn maze in years past — remember the 2015 Taylor Swift design? This year’s inspiration is the one and only Dolly Parton and her Imagination Library, a program that mails free books to children who are up to 5 years old.

Wait until you hit your savings goal before quitting your job. When you put in your two weeks’ notice, be transparent about your plans. Your colleagues may not understand or even support you, but it’s better for them to hear it from you directly than to see it on social media. Some companies have flexible sabbatical policies and may even welcome you back after you return.

I often roll down my driver’s side window when driving through to take a deep inhale of the goodness.
Startedchoice.asUncle Ralph’s (Not Yet Famous) Cookies in 1985 by (Uncle) Ralph and Peggy Wight, the bakery has gone from a small home business in Frederick that sold 1,500 cookies the first year (with delivery services in the couple’s family car) to being a player in the regional pre-packaged cookie and snack scene — and a supplier of a variety of ready-to-bake doughs.
ome days, my neighborhood at the north end of downtown Frederick smells just delicious. The wonderful aroma of baked goods comes by way of Uncle Ralph’s Bakery, which sits on the corner of Eighth and East streets.
commitment to providing quality baked goods on a local and regional level, there is a commitment to Frederick that appears to be baked into their enterprise in more ways than one.
The story of Uncle Ralph’s is as much a tale of Frederick as it is a cookie story. When asked if it bothered them that Uncle Ralph’s had been in business for decades and was still “not yet famous,” Ramsburg and Rogers laughed.
yet relatively small size is a bonus for locals, who can take advantage of Uncle Ralph’s ability to make custom products. Uncle Ralph’s also offers entire platters for parties and other events.Rogers and Ramsburg said they would like to get their products into more stores and coffee shops in
Frederick County and increase their local delivery routes and partnerships with local businesses whenever possible. Uncle Ralph’s cookies, cakes and other treats can be found at a variety of locations downtown, such as the McCutcheon’s Factory Store and the North Market Pop Shop.

While the bakery’s biggest seller is still their delicious raw doughs, the new ownership hopes to continue to draw local fans to its baked goods and packaged snacks, as well. The bakery also makes specialized proprietary products for specific customers, including business franchises in the fast food and tourism industries.

Under the Wights, Uncle Ralph’s once supplied baked goods to local charities, organizations and schools, who could then sell the treats as a way to do their own fundraising. Rogers and Ramsburg want to renew those efforts.

“We really want to continue to build on the legacy that the Wights started and show our commitment to the local community that we also love by giving back as much as possible,” Rogers said. “We hope to relaunch Uncle Ralph’s charity and fundraising work soon.”
“It all started with a cookie,” Ramsburg said.
It has certainly grown far beyond that, as these dedicated employees turned owners can attest. They hope the name change to Uncle Ralph’s Bakery will let people know they have a lot more to offer than just cookies. Rogers and Ramsburg are both aware that Uncle Ralph’s Bakery is a vital part of the Frederick community, and they hope to continue to be a delicious and tasty part of it for decades to come.

BY PAT PADUA The Washington Post
While “Daydream” mostly avoids the traps of strictly chronological music documentaries that end up playing like audiovisual Wikipedia entries — I’m looking at you, “The Sparks Brothers” — there still is room for standard biography. But it helps that such information here comes from Bowie himself. Hence, as we hear Bowie go on about the older stepbrother who introduced him to artistic outsiders, photos of William Burroughs and John Coltrane drift onto the screen. Yet the audio seems to critique this very method as Bowie speaks of “an inexhaustible supply of extracurricular thoughts” — and the challenge of what to do with all this information.
If the film’s fractured timeline suggests a rock-and-roll version of Michael Apted’s celebrated documentary anthology known as the Up series — which has followed a group of British schoolchildren, at seven-year intervals, since 1964 — so Bowie’s career plays out like a very strange coming-of-age movie, from alienation to assimilation. This progression may not have been good for his art; Bowie himself wondered, as he matured and felt more comfortable in his skin: “Do I need to write anymore?”
National Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated every year from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 to honor the contributions and influence Hispanic Americans have had on the culture and history of the United States. To help celebrate, the Carroll County Arts Council and the Carroll County Local Management Board for Children, Youth, and Families are presenting free community events at the Carroll Arts Center.
The scent of a cafecito caliente hangs in the air just outside of the 181st Street subway stop in “In the Heights,” where a kaleidoscope of dreams rallies this vibrant and tight-knit community. At the intersection of it all is the like-able, magnetic bodega owner Usnavi (Anthony Ramos), who saves every penny from his daily grind as he hopes, imagines and sings about a better life. Adapted from Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tony Award-winning Broadway musical.
That’s how shape-shifting rock star David Bowie, in the film “Moonage Daydream,” remembers the tasty pop-culture environment that inspired him to use an onstage persona by the name of Ziggy Stardust to, as he puts it, create “the 21st century in 1971.”
He did, and if the highs were less frequent, Bowie continued to challenge himself until the end.

Morgen spent four years selecting material from the musician’s voluminous archives, combing through nearly half a century of interviews, concert clips and film appearances as well as never-before-seen footage and unpublished writings and visual art. Morgen’s quick-cut collage also inserts brief historical and cultural markers to put Bowie in context without weighing things down with
exposition. So the keen-eyed might recognize clips from a Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movie, or Michael Powell’s Technicolor classic “The Red Shoes.”

A scene from “Motorcycle Diaries.”
The Hispanic Heritage Film Festival will take place on Sept. 24 with a screening of “In the Heights” at 1 p.m. and “The Motorcycle Diaries” at 7:30 p.m.
Occasionally, Morgen’s mashup is too on the nose. It isn’t necessary to illustrate the lyric “Put your ray gun to my head,” from the song that lends the film its title, with a clip of a 1950s sci-fi monster getting its head blown off. But even that puts Bowie’s “alien rock star” stage presence into context. And for the most part, the 20th-century collage is as unpredictable as Bowie was at his best.
One of Bowie’s formative musical memories revolves around Fats Domino. As he relates it, the young Bowie found Domino’s Cajun accent incomprehensible, but that very lack of understanding was what made the music so powerful. Far from a nostalgic package of greatest hits, “Moonage Daydream” suggests that pop music is at its best when it’s mysterious.
The inspiring biopic “The Motorcycle Diaries” traces the youthful origins of Che Guevara’s revolutionary heart, when a 23-year-old Guevara (Gael García Bernal) and a friend, Alberto (Rodrigo de la Serna), pile onto a motorcycle to travel across South America. Over the course of eight months and 8,000 miles, what starts as a lark becomes a profound journey of discovery, not only of themselves but of a continent filled with infinite sorrow and infinite hope. Ernesto and Alberto discover an affinity for humanity within themselves and a determination to change the world.
“It was a pudding of new ideas.”
more conventional as Bowie enters the highly commercial 1980s, that too suits the way in which the artist developed.Bythetime Bowie died, he was kind of a cuddly rock elder whom everybody loved. But Morgen, with clips of earlier Bowie at his most androgynous, reminds audiences that the kind of gender-bending that seems de rigueur in 2022 was truly shocking 50 years ago.
Admission to the film events is free with no tickets required.

“Art is about searching,” Bowie says, and “Daydream” pays homage to that exploratory method. And if the film becomes
It’s a disorienting strategy. And it may be the best approach to summing up the chameleonic Bowie, perfectly capturing the excitement of that pudding.

It’s also an apt way to describe director Brett Morgen’s dizzying documentary profile of Bowie, who died in 2016 just two days after his 69th birthday. The film doesn’t include any talking heads or identifying captions; the structure largely muddles chronology and at any moment might juxtapose a clip from D.A. Pennebaker’s 1973 film “Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars” with behind-the-scenes shots from Bowie’s 1984 tour or even a 21st-century music video.
