Gulf State Park opens new trails By CRYSTAL COLE crystal@gulfcoastmedia.com

Gulf State Park officials have happily announced the addition of new trails that have been added to the park’s existing trail system.

The Gulf State Park Project with the University of Alabama helped identify new areas where trails could be added to enhance and improve access to different areas of the park. The new trails include

the Lake Crossing Trail, which offers visitors views of Lake Shelby and connects the Gopher Tortoise Trail to the picnic area, and the Beach Mouse Bypass, a mile-long boardwalk near the Middle Lake that offers people

a chance to observe wildlife and alligator watch. Ally McLaughlin with Gulf State Park said visitors have responded positively to the new trails. “People are loving it, especially the Lake Crossing Trail at Lake Shelby,”

McLaughlin said. “It’s a new opportunity to enjoy and see new areas of the park.” McLaughlin said the new trails also help highlight the extraordinary SEE TRAILS, PAGE

Early Sunday morning out at Perdido Pass, several dozen boats came out to stage a protest against the historically short federal red snapper season for recreational fishermen. The protest began at 5:30 a.m. with just a few vessels, but soon grew to at least 25 boats lining one side of the pass. Boats from the Orange Beach Police Department, Alabama Marine Police and Coast Guard were also on hand to make sure other vessels could make through the pass, including several charter fishing boats that were still allowed to fish for the red snapper.

The protest was the brainchild of the Saltwater Finaddicts group on Facebook, which helped organize the event. Orange Beach Councilman Jeff Boyd said he and other city leaders had considered staging a protest themselves, but chose to take what he called “the executive path” in dealing with the snapper season situation by sending a letter to President Donald Trump and Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross. “We just wanted our voice heard,” Boyd said. “We came to the agreement that we’d be better served going the executive path. We’ve had Congressman Byrne get some elected officials from Florida, Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana

to sign his letter to the Secretary of Commerce. Luther Strange, our current senator, and Gov. Kay Ivey have both sent letters as well.” Boyd said he was hopeful that some good news would be coming soon on the snapper season. “I wouldn’t be surprised if we heard some news shortly that at least something is going to change,” Boyd said. “There definitely has been forward motion. We feel pretty confident. We’re banging pots and making noise, but we’re doing it executively, talking to the guys who can actually control it.” Tom Steber, president of the Alabama Charter Fishing Association, said SEE PROTEST, PAGE

PROTEST CONTINUED FROM 1

this fight wasn’t just one for the recreational fishermen. “The charter folks agree with this 100 percent,” Steber said. “We keep battling and battling and battling. You’re dealing with such poor data and collection of information and it’s killing us. Steber said he understood what led the recreational fishermen to want to protest and he hoped that the federal government would return control of the waters to the state. “I don’t blame them at all - how can you say you can only have three days?” Steber said. “It needs to be taken away from the federal government and put in the hands of the state.” Locals weren’t the only people upset by the shortened season, however, as visitors from around the state and region were equally upset by the shortened number of days.

Skinner said coming down to the Alabama Gulf Coast for red snapper season has been a tradition for his family for many years, but the three day season announced earlier this year was a huge problem. “It’s already hard enough to try to find time for me and my family to coordinate a schedule to be able to come down here and fish,” Skinner said. “To have to find a way to do that within a three day time window was almost impossible. Pair that with the questionable weather we had on some of the days, and it almost makes it not worth it for people to even try to come down and fish.” Skinner agreed that more local control was needed. “We need some sort of independent group to go out there and really determine the count,” Skinner said. “We’ve got more fish than over in Florida and some of those other states. It’s just clear that they’re not thinking about the little guy when they make calls like this.”

New Buffett book takes readers to the making of Margaritaville By ALLISON MARLOW Ryan White was driving his toddler daughter to daycare, listening to Jimmy Buffett’s, “Volcano.” By the time they reached her classroom, the tot was singing along – over and over and over, again. “I looked at her teacher and said, ‘I don’t know how long this will go on. I’m sorry’.” Those are the breaks when your dad is writing a book about Jimmy Buffett. Last month, White released “Jimmy Buffett: A Good Life All the Way.” The book began as a travel narrative of sorts, detailing the journey taken by both the song “Margaritaville” after it became a hit in 1977 and that of White as he navigated life after a decade working as a sports reporter. White had traveled I-75 to Florida many times from his home state of Michigan to visit relatives in Tampa and on college weekend trips. On these roads, Buffett became the soundtrack of their lives. “There was a sense of elsewhere and adventure in his music that grabbed my attention,” White said. Decades later White said he began to realize what Margaritaville had become as it navigated 40 years of popular American culture. “I began to think, ‘how do you handle that kind of change’ and it just so happened I was hit with a change of my own,” he said. White was laid off in 2013 but fell back on a book

contract, to explore Margaritaville. “It began as a first person travel narrative, traveling the modern Margaritaville to see how we got from here to there and what happened along the way,” he said. “A whole lot of people said, ‘Yes. I’d love to talk,’ and their stories were infinitely more interesting than me walking around.” White knew he wasn’t writing a biography, but he didn’t quite realize he couldn’t separate the man from the joy that was Margaritaville. He met John Cohlan, CEO of Margaritaville Holdings, during a Parrothead convention and spoke to him about his book idea. Cohlan corrected him - the book was indeed about Jimmy. “He said you cannot separate everything that makes people come to Margaritaville from Jimmy. It’s all wrapped up in Jimmy’s story and the ball of goodwill they take from town to town,” White said. “What we got was a really neat character study of the real life citizens of Margaritaville over the years and these kind of big themes of urbanization and workaholism among really entertaining stories from the road.” White interviewed Buffett’s friends and neighbors who knew the singer before his fame, he interviewed managers and stage crew and even a tour manager who was in the limo when the term Parrothead was coined.

“You get on an airplane and you go and talk to people and you keep working on it. It really helped that I didn’t quite know what I was getting myself into,” he said. White said he strived in his book for two things, first to write it in the spirit of what Buffett and his crew bring every night to the stage and what the crowd brings to them. Cohlan told him, “Everything that made [Buffett] a star is what people keep coming back to time and again - for that little bit of a break which we all need.” Second, he said he couldn’t pretend to see the world through Buffett’s eyes. “That’s his story. I could never do that. I don’t want to try to do that,” he said. White did not interview Buffett for the book. He said he has heard that the singer is planning another book of his own. It’s ok though, White said, the book is as much about Buffett as is it about change. During an interview with a fishing guide who lived below Buffett in the 1970s, White asked about change on the island and what he thought of it. “I watch these kids come from the Midwest and it’s still Margaritaville to them,” the man told White. “When I got here in ’72 the old timers pulled me aside and said you’re ten years too late. We all at one point or another have a tendency to think we’re 10 years too late and miss a perfectly good opportunity sitting in front of us.”

The idea of change, both scary and exciting, flowed through the book and White’s personal journey in writing it. “At the end of the day I wanted to have this chapter in my life come to end in newspapers and I wanted to take on the hardest thing I’ve ever done, the biggest thing and hopefully the most interesting and most fun thing I’ve ever done,” White said. “And it really was a success on all those fronts as far as I was considered. “It was a real pleasure to spend a couple of years in Margaritaville,” he said.

Wonder Woman day brings crowds to Foley Library

More than 40 girls channeled their inner Wonder Woman at Foley Public Library’s Wonder Woman Day. The librarians at the library were thrilled to see so many children participate. “With the movie coming out, we wanted to show that we have a lot of books and all kinds of stuff for kids to come to the library and use our library to learn more about Wonder Woman and superheros, it’s not just about movies and TV shows,” said Nancy Nall, library aide for the Foley Public Library. The kids completed Wonder Woman coloring sheets, received buttons, stickers and had their photo taken with a cardboard cutout of the superhero. Nall was also dressed in her best Wonder Woman costume for the day. “It gets kids back into the library,” Nall said. “They can touch and see and it proves libraries are still relevant.” The Foley Library will host more dress up events throughout the year.

Original Oyster House announces scholarship winners SUBMITTED The Original Oyster House awarded the 12th Annual Chelsea Garvin Spirit Scholarships to Laura Cohen of Fairhope High School and Meagan Daves of Bayside Academy. Chelsea Garvin was a 2004 graduate of Fairhope High School, a Fish River Fire Department volunteer, an Original Oyster House employee and a talented artist whose life was cut short in a boating accident in 2005. Since 2006, the Original Oyster House has awarded two, $1,000 Chelsea Garvin Spirit Award scholarships to senior high school students of Baldwin County. The scholarship opportunity is not based on financial need, but rather academics, being involved in community arts and creating artwork that reflects the culture of the well-loved iconic seafood restaurant as well as the spirit of Chelsea Garvin. “What I love about Laura’s artwork is it invites you in instantly with its wonderful textures and intriguing palette. After you examine it you start to realize the statement the artist makes, and someone

like me who was an art major, thinks wow, I wish I could have done that at such a young age,” said Cecilia Mace as she presented Cohen with the scholarship. Mace also presented Dave’s scholarship at her senior awards ceremony at Bayside Academy. “Maegan’s submission this year nailed the Oyster House brand and highlighted Oyster Shell recycling which was first piloted in the state of Alabama this past year, at the Original Oyster House restaurants through the Alabama Coastal foundation. The crucial recycling of shell will help restore the reef, clean Alabama’s waters prevent coastal erosion, and boost productivity of not only oysters but fish, shrimp, crab and seafood we love to eat,” Mace said. The winning artworks will be displayed in both Original Oyster House restaurants for local patrons and visitors from all over the country to enjoy. The winners will be given restaurant gift certificates to see firsthand their artwork displayed with family and friends, as well as an exclusive three day, four night trip to New York.

Puzzles STRANGE BUT TRUE

By Samantha Weaver • It was contemporary American poet and essayist Rita Dove who made the following sage observation: “If only the sun-drenched celebrities are being noticed and worshiped, then our children are going to have a tough time seeing the value in the shadows, where the thinkers, probers and scientists are keeping society together.”

WEEKLY SUDOKU By Linda Thistle

BASEBALL BATTY!

PLACE A NUMBER IN THE EMPTY BOXES IN SUCH A WAY THAT EACH ROW ACROSS, EACH COLUMN DOWN AND EACH SMALL 9-BOX SQUARE CONTAINS ALL OF THE NUMBERS FROM ONE TO NINE.

• A Turkish man once won a bet by eating an entire barbecued lamb. He won 6 British pounds -- about $7 -- but he never had a chance to spend it. Ten minutes after finishing the meal, he dropped dead. • Those who study such things say that, pound for pound, the human body produces more heat than the sun.

SUPER CROSSWORD

CONTRACT BRIDGE By Steve Becker

• There was a time when the only people in the world who knew how to make mirrors were Venetian glassblowers. Their skill was so valuable that those with the knowledge lived as virtual prisoners (albeit privileged ones). And anyone caught spying on their methods was put to death.

“The great thing about getting older is that you don’t lose all the other ages you’ve been.” -- Madeleine L’Engle

PUZZLE ANSWERS

WEEKLY SUDOKU

Thought for the Day:

A declarer who wants to get the most out of his cards must of necessity keep close track of the defenders’ distribution. For example, examine this deal where West led the K-A and another club, ruffed by East and overruffed by South. Declarer crossed to the spade king and lost a heart finesse to West’s king, and West returned a trump. Having lost three tricks, South now had to avoid a spade loser to get home safely. He appeared to have two chances: If the diamonds were divided 3-3, the spade jack could be discarded on dummy’s fourth diamond; failing that, South could finesse the jack of spades (he could not see, as we do, that West’s queen was at this point singleton). But South also saw a third possibility, based on what he had already learned about the op-

ponents’ hands from the early play. So after drawing a third round of trumps, he cashed his last trump, discarding a spade from dummy, and then played the A-K-Q of diamonds. This proved very illuminating. Although the diamonds did not divide 3-3, the contract was nevertheless assured. Declarer’s last two cards were the A-J of spades, while dummy still had the eight of diamonds and a spade. East’s last two cards, though unseen, were known to be the jack of diamonds and a spade. Furthermore, since West had shown up with six clubs, three hearts and two diamonds, he was known to have started with exactly two spades, one of which he had already played. And so, armed with the certain knowledge that each opponent at this point had only one spade, South led a spade to the ace and dropped West’s queen to make the contract.

UNSCRAMBLE THE LETTERS WITHIN EACH RECTANGLE TO FORM FOUR ORDINARY WORDS. THEN REARRANGE THE BOXED LETTERS TO FORM THE MYSTERY WORD, WHICH WILL COMPLETE THE GAG!

FAMOUS HAND

SCRAMBLERS

• Just three months after his wedding, a New Zealand man named Aleki Taumoepeau lost his wedding ring when it slipped off his finger into the ocean. Unprepared for diving at that time, he marked the rough spot on a chart and vowed he would come back and find it -- despite unpredictable currents and the fact that there are no landmarks on the ocean. It was a year before he could arrange to go back to the spot with the proper gear, but after just an hour of diving, he saw something bright shining from the bottom and found the ring.

Opinion Some Things Aren’t What They Say They Are

hen I see the phrase, “Going Out of Business”, I wince, for they seldom do. “New and Improved”, makes me shy away, as does, “New Formula”, because the new and improved is usually a new package that looks bigger, but with less volume, for which you pay more.

Not only was the crowd silent, but suddenly the teapot’s antiquity was traceable back to Eve in the garden, through at least two queens, one being Cleopatra herself, and was of inestimable worth, and I had ruined it with some stupid glue. Never mind that it was useless without a handle. The only thing that mattered was that it was now shattered and it was my fault. Undaunted, I tried, over the years to make a successful repair with superglues.

Alabama’s answer to the Kennedys: the Bankheads

ince we are in the midst of an election for a U.S. Senator, let me share the story of one of the most prestigious congressional families in Alabama history. The Bankheads of Jasper would likely be the most prominent political family in Alabama political lore. More than likely there has never been a father serve as one of Americas most powerful U.S. Senators while their son, William Bankhead, served as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Perhaps Karin Wilson should resign as mayor Imagine the surprise upon returning to Fairhope from a pleasant 4-week vacation drive through the mountains and deserts of the Southwestern United States to find that the Mayor of Fairhope, Karin Wilson, stands accused of physically assaulting a city employee, in the presence of

a witness no less. Since before the start of her term there has been an identifiable pattern by Mayor Wilson of either not understanding the policies and procedures of managing a government entity, or of simply choosing not to comply with those policies and procedures. In either case, our sweet, pleasant city has been rocked from day one with reports of Mayor’s Wilson’s fiery relationship with the City Council

in conducting the affairs of the city. Now the fireworks have expanded from the City Council to the city employees. One wonders what is happening to city business while the political sideshow is in full swing from week to week. Mayor Wilson’s behavior is damaging the civil fabric of our city government and it is not at all certain that the city and its citizens can survive

four full years of this type of behavior. Perhaps it would be best for all concerned if Karin Wilson were to simply demonstrate the class to resign her position as Mayor, and open the door to an individual who would serve proudly and with grace and wisdom in the office of the Mayor.

Bloody Barin I

took my young children to see Uncle Everett in the nursing home, I think about 1975. He was a “Wounded Warrior of the Greatest Generation.” We arrived about an hour before the Fourth of July Program was to begin.

But, by golly, we really did want to help win something else. Can you imagine peeling potatoes that war.” In 1942, our family heard for that many men? We also had a baseball team, he was chosen for mejust like we had at home in chanical aviation school Rosinton. In fact, we even at Naval Air Station in played against Rosinton Pensacola. Wonder of one time at the big field wonders, he was stationed

there. We won. “I guess the most fun we had was at the USO hall on Laurel Street downtown Foley. Girls from all over the county came to dance with us. They served cake and lemonade and sometimes the locals put on a show for us, my sisters included. That first Christmas we were at Barin, Commander Brigg landed his SNJ with Santa Claus in the back seat. Now, that was a hoot.” My daughter asked him how he lost his leg. He stared into the air awhile, his eyes watered, and when he spoke his voice cracked. “I wanted to make a career of the Navy, but that just wasn’t to be. It was a freak accident; the plane we were working on was not securely anchored and it fell on me while I was underneath. It coulda’ killed me. All during recovery, I kept thinking of my buddies that weren’t coming home, and kept asking why I was spared. I have always felt lucky. “The Navy has taken care of me pretty good. I learned to walk on this wooden leg, and worked as a mechanic my whole life. That is until the last year or so. I can’t stand by myself anymore.” (What happened to Barin Field after you were discharged?) “I used to ride down to the field after the war. It was out of use, but the Navy still stored planes

there and used it as a landing field. Big old fence all around it. In 1948 they started back training there and in 1952 the Korean War came along and suddenly Bloody Barin was in full swing again. “I could see those guys landing and taking off. Sometimes the instructor’s plane pulled a target sleeve. That was when there was gunnery training going on. Out over the gulf, six SNJs practiced hitting that target. I never heard if any of those 0.30 caliber guns hit an aircraft by mistake!! I sure hope not. I hope Bloody Barin didn’t live up to its nickname. “Yeah, those were the good old days. Actually every day is a good day. I’ve had a wonderful life.” It was time to go down to the activity room where the program was to take place. Jessica and Joe pushed his wheelchair right up to the front row.

When the “Star Spangled Banner” was played, we realized that Uncle Everett was attempting to stand. I reached to help him and he pushed my hand away. He struggled a little holding onto the arms of the chair, but rise he did. His right arm raised in salute, tears rolling down his face. There were tears on my face, too. I am not ashamed that there are still tears each and every time I stand for our National Anthem, I think of the sacrifices

he and so many others made for me just so I could stand. And stand up I will, every time. The Beach Express now runs through the West Field’s runway, which was the original Foley Airport. The former USO hall is now the Gift Horse Restaurant. Harriet Outlaw is a local folklorist and storyteller, author of several publications. harrietoutlaw@msn. com

New birth center to open at Thomas Hospital By ALLISON MARLOW Most new moms are given 48 hours to recover after a typical birth at Thomas Hospital. However, after staying just a few hours at the new Birth Center, women may never want to leave. Later this month the hospital will officially open the new unit, after the staff hustles through a 12-hour move to shift the entire operation one floor up and into a space more than twice its current size. Every nook and cranny has been thoughtfully considered and redesigned. A walk through the current birth unit and into the new is more than just an update. It is a tour through time. The current unit is small, itty bitty by comparison. Nurse stations line the walls outside delivery rooms that lack windows or much space for families to stretch out. The furnishings were the hottest look in 1999, the year it opened

– cherry dressers and headboards set beneath wallpaper boarders that feature seashore scenes. These rooms have seen a lot of Baldwin County babies, nearly 100 every month. The exhaustion of that workload seems to seep from the tired, aged walls. One floor up, the new Birth Center is nearly ready to take up the mantle. Visitors seem to glide across chic wood floors past soothing, pale green paint that covers the walls behind graceful artwork. Even the signs outside each door to pay homage to donors are formed from delicate sea glass. Furniture is slick and smooth with modern handles. Windows are enormous and are found in every room. The theme is flow - and calm. “I can’t tell you how huge this is, it’s amazing,” said Vicki Curtis, nurse manager of the Birth Center. “The architects, the design, the art - everything that’s been taken into consideration is incredible.”

PHOTOS COURTESY OF THOMAS HOSPITAL

The crisp modern design of Thomas Hospital’s new Birth Center aims to give families a feeling of serenity and calm as they welcome their baby into the world. Birth coaches will have a place to sleep as well with a new sleeper sofa combo that is standard in each postpartum room. The project, hospital officials said, was a community effort. “The Birth Center would not have been possible without the su-

port of the community, the tireless work of the Thomas Hospital Foundation, the support of Mark Nix, president and CEO of Infirmary Health

and the Infirmary Health board of directors,” said Ormand Thompson, president of Thomas Hospital. “The physicians that practice here

Restrooms in each postpartum room at the new Birth Center at Thomas Hospital feature plenty of room to stretch out and a toilet with heated seat and bidet spray. heated seat and front and rear bidet spray, with remote control, of course. The unique touches are not just upgrades but also meant as enticements to bring more Baldwin babies to Thomas Hospital. Currently, the hospital averages 105 deliveries a month, with the busiest month being August with the arrival of all those holiday babies. In 2016, the hospital welcomed a total of 1,285 babies, which marked an 8 percent growth. As one of only three hospitals in the

county that deliver babies, Thomas Hospital has 65 percent of the market share, Curtis said. Some moms, however, are still making the drive to Mobile to deliver. She hopes the new unit will bring them here instead. “Studies show that women make most of the healthcare decisions in their households. Moms will drive past a birth facility to get to the one they want to deliver at,” she said. “I hope they will consider coming here.”

In the new Birth Center, birth coaches have their own space to decompress, separate from the family waiting room. This quiet space features a giant picture window that offers one of the best views in Fairhope.

It is because of their dedication, compassion and commitment.” In labor and delivery, nurses will no longer shuffle patients along with furious pace as they now have seven rooms for laboring patients. The old unit boasted only four. Large closets and a Jack-andJill prep space between every two delivery rooms means there is more space for everyone to stretch out, families and staff alike. Speaking of stretching, dads and birth coaches will now have their own place to rest after delivery. Postpartum rooms feature a combo sofa-sleeper for the new mom’s plus one. There are also sloped baby sinks in every room so that more baby care can be done with mom. And the bathrooms here will leave every visitor feeling jealous. Each postpartum room features a restroom and shower that rivals the size of a bedroom in modest homes. The toilet lid pops open automatically and new moms can enjoy a

Midler favored to say ‘Hello, Tony!’ during Sunday’s theater awards telecast By George Dickie © Zap2it It’s the early 1970s and comedy in Los Angeles is king. And ruling over it with an iron fist on the Sunset Strip is one Goldie Herschlag. As played by Oscar winner Melissa Leo (“Frozen River,” “Treme”) on Showtime’s hourlong drama series “I’m Dying Up Here,” premiering Sunday, June 4, she’s the toughtalking, chain-smoking owner of Goldie’s, a comedy club for up-and-comers hoping to be discovered and maybe get on “The Tonight Show.” But that’s only if this hard-bitten mama bear thinks they’re ready to play the main room. “The club is called Goldie’s,” explains Leo, “and if the comics want to stand up and do comedy in her joint, there’s a certain rule she goes by and she does happen to have a particularly really good funny bone. Not that she’s funny, but she knows what’s funny. She knows what works. It doesn’t have to do with the race of the comic or the gender of the comic. She knows what’s funny and funny works. And so she’s gained a reputation around town that if you want a really good comic, you’ll probably come over to Goldie’s to find them.”

Among the regulars are Cassie (Ari Graynor, “Mystic River”), a pretty, blond Texan with an edgy style; Bill (Andrew Santino, “Mixology”), a troubled comic with talent and an acid tongue; Edgar (Al Madrigal, “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart”), a pothead who uses his Mexican heritage as fodder for his act; Ralph (Erik Griffin, “Workaholics”), a comic and TV writer with an outsized physique and personality; and Adam (RJ Cyler, “Vice Principals”), a hungry young African American comic who by day doubles as Goldie’s handyman. In the opening episode, two young Boston comics (Michael Angarano, Clark Duke) arrive in L.A. to stay with their buddy until they can find regular work, only to learn he’d been killed in a traffic accident hours after nailing it in his big break on “The Tonight Show.” As the gang at Goldie’s mourn one of their fallen brethren over shots at the bar, one comic wonders if they should book a church for the funeral, only to be corrected by Goldie: “You’re in one.” “She’ll kind of morph into what she needs to be for the situation,” Leo says. “She’s canny and brave and courageous in a way, a woman alone doing what she’s doing at the time she’s doing it. I don’t think there’s another human being,

never mind man or woman, doing what Goldie was doing in the early part of the ‘70s, investing in stand-up comics ... . (If you didn’t) have stand-up comedy, you wouldn’t have Comedy Central. You wouldn’t have comedy as a frontline entertainment in the world without what happened here in California.” The series is based on the book of the same name by William Knoedelseder and counts among its executive producers Jim Carrey, who cut his teeth doing stand-up on the Strip in the ’80s. The show certainly has the look of a ’70s comedy club, from the mod decor to the thick cigarette smoke and the side-burned, bell-bottom-jeaned men. And none of the comics come off as particularly happy people. It should also be noted that many of the cast — among them Madrigal, Griffin and Santino — have backgrounds in stand-up, thus adding to the show’s authenticity. “It’s a hard, hard life to be expected to make everyone laugh all the time,” Leo says. “And most of them have that pressure on themselves as much as anything else, and it’s a complicated and dark personality, in fact, that makes us laugh.”

the artists scheduled to perform. 9 p.m. on FX Fargo Nikki (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is a tough lady who’s been around the block several times, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t find herself fighting to survive in the new episode “Who Rules the Land of Denial?.” Elsewhere, Sy (Michael Stuhlbarg) joins Varga (David Thewlis) for tea, while something happens that leaves Emmit (Ewan McGregor) feeling spooked.
