Feb 27 University of Maryland Farm Bill Workshop – Upper Shore

Calvert Grange Hall, 2357 Telegraph Road, Rising Sun. 09:00 AM - 03:00 PM This winter, the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics (AREC) is partnering with the University of Maryland Extension and USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) to host a series of one-day workshops geared towards educating Maryland producers on changes associated with the 2018 Farm Bill. The 2018 Farm Bill has been called evolutionary and not revolutionary as the 2014 Farm Bill was. The new Farm Bill continues the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) program and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) program with modifications. These workshops will highlight the changes to these programs and other FSA programs. The workshops will also provide participants with the opportunity to understand how to use the decision tools that will assist producers in selecting between the ARC and PLC programs. Seven winter workshops will be hosted around Maryland in February to prepare producers before the end up sign up by March 15, 2020 at their county FSA office. “Although many eligible producers may think they understand how the programs operate, its important to remember Congress did make changes to the programs. All producers should consider attending to better familiarize themselves with the changes and how those changes could impact program payments,” said Paul Goeringer, Extension Legal Specialist, Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, University of Maryland. 301-405-3541 • lgoering@umd.edu • https://www.eventbrite.com/e/university-of-maryland-farm-bill-workshop-upper-shore-tickets-85834785153.

Charles Street 04:00 PM - 05:00 PM Join us for our closing reception and artist talk for “Turbid Landscapes.” Catalyst Contemporary presents “Turbid Landscapes,” a group exhibition featuring Maren Henson, Gary Thompson, and Marcia Wolfson Ray, whose works bring together the uncertain and shifting views of the natural world, our collective understandings, and the more private, psychological spaces where the natural and social impress upon us in unique ways. Landscapes of yore, with rolling hills and looming mountains, startling sunlight and a bucolic haze, yield instead to faintly illuminated concrete chaos and the intricate inner workings of our cultural and personal connections. 410.905.0089 • gallery@catalystcontemporary.com • https://www.catalystcontemporary.com/.

Mar 16 How To Read a Nautical Chart

Havre de Grace Maritime Museum, 100 Lafayette St., Havre de Grace. 06:00 PM - 09:00 PM A public education course presented by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, Flotilla 054-22-07 and the Havre de Grace Maritime Museum. “How to Read a Nautical Chart” is a three-hour course that will help you unravel the mystery of charts. When navigating on land you use a map. It depicts the various thoroughfares, their directions and names. Major landmarks such as parks, lakes etc. are also shown. By identifying with each of these landmarks and following printed routes, you would be able to reach a desired destination. At sea there are no equivalent landmarks, and no routes. And, if you are far offshore, with no land mass on the horizon, everything looks the same. For navigating at sea, we use a chart, and we navigate by reference to what we can see, and often by what we cannot. Nautical charts give us the “landmarks of the sea” – buoys, markers, shoreline features, water depth, bottom type, magnetic compass variation, and the latitude and longitude of these features. By knowing our latitude and longitude, we can locate our position anywhere on earth. Charts also warn us of dangerous areas, enabling us to determine safe passage – if we know how to read the chart and use the information we find there. This course will provide the navigator with the knowledge to interpret a chart’s contents to navigate safely to his or her destination and return to port. Practice chart is included and used with practical problems that are reviewed as part of the class. Course Cost: $35 (FREE to Active Military and First Responders). To register, contact Abe Spergel.

Powell is co-director of the Genealogical Research Institute of Pittsburgh (GRIP), past-president of the Board for Certification of Genealogists, a coordinator of the IGHR “Professional Genealogy” course in Athens, Ga., and the author of two chapters in the 2018 “Professional Genealogy” book. She won the Association of Professional Genealogists 2017 Professional Achievement Award. Russell, known as “The Legal Genealogist,” has a law degree. She writes and lectures on topics ranging from using court records in family history to understanding DNA testing. On the faculty of numerous genealogy institutes, she is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Board for Certification of Genealogists, from which she holds credentials as a Certified Genealogist and Certified Genealogical Lecturer. Powell will discuss two topics in the morning. The first, “They Want to be Found: Clues Our Ancestors Left Us,” will focus on clues ancestors leave to show subtle ways they interacted with the world through activities, religion, financial dealings, photographs, writings and their very genes. Her second topic, “Messages from the Grave: Listening to Your Ancestor’s Tombstone,” will be a photographic lecture that provides not only tips for finding cemeteries, reading worn tombstones and the meaning of the carved symbols but also illustrates common problems that are encountered and how to overcome them. After a lunch break, Russell will discuss, “When Worlds Collide: Resolving Conflicts in Genealogical Records.” The Genealogical Proof Standard says to resolve conflicts in data, but it can be easier said than done. Russell will discuss the basic types of evidence conflicts and the methods, tips and tricks to learn how to resolve them. “Rogues, Rascals and Rapscallions: The Family Black Sheep” is the topic of Russell’s second presentation. She will discuss how court records can unmask those black sheep in every family and will help participants understand the criminal process in both federal and state courts to find records to put meat on the bones of the skeletons in a family’s closet.

Apr 07 Senior Day at Fiore Winery

Apr 08 "A Fierce Green Fire: The Battle for a Living Planet" – Film Screening

Havre de Grace Maritime Museum, 100 Lafayette St., Havre de Grace. 07:00 PM - 09:00 PM “A Fierce Green Fire” is the first big-picture exploration of the environmental movement. Written, directed and produced by Academy Award-nominee Mark Kitchell (“Berkeley in the Sixties”), “A Fierce Green Fire” spans fifty years of grassroots and global environmental activism from the 1960s-2009, connecting the movement’s major causes, from conservation to climate change. Inspired by the book of the same name by environmental journalist and film interviewee Philip Shabecoff, and informed by advisors like conservation biologist E.O. Wilson, the film unfolds in five acts, each with a central story and character, featuring vivid archival footage and new interviews that shed light on the battle for a living planet. The first four acts of the film vividly tell the stories of people who fought – and succeeded – against enormous odds, and the fifth concludes with climate change. Some of these battles included the halting of dams in the Grand Canyon, battling 20,000 tons of toxic waste at Love Canal, Greenpeace saving the whales, and Chico Mendes and the rubbertappers saving the Amazon. “A Fierce Green Fire” explores the dire consequences of climate change, yet also speaks of transforming our civilization through environmental action. Narrated by Robert Redford, Meryl Streep, Ashley Judd, Van Jones and Isabel Allende, the film premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and has won worldwide acclaim. Watch the official trailer here: https://youtu.be/94zbq5Vaod0. Presented as part of the monthly Environmental Film Series, which is made FREE to the public through the ongoing partnership of the Havre de Grace Green Team and the Havre de Grace Maritime Museum. All films are held inside the Maritime Museum’s main gallery, and are followed by a discussion. 410.939.4800 • hdggreenteam@gmail.com • info@hdgmaritimemuseum.org • http://www.hdggreenteam.org/.

Apr 17 Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson

Harford Community College, Black Box Theater, Bel Air. 08:00 PM Presented by the HCC Actors Guild. Written by Alex Timbers; Music and Lyrics by Michael Friedman. Produced by Arrangement with Music Theatre International. An exhilarating and raucous look at one of our nation’s founding rock stars, reinventing the life of our seventh president. A.J. kicked British butt, shafted the Indians and smacked down the Spaniards, all in the name of these United States — who cares if he didn’t have permission? Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson creators, Michael Friedman (Love’s Labour’s Lost, The Fortress of Solitude) and Alex Timbers (Love’s Labour’s Lost, Peter and the Starcatcher), cook up an alternate universe (and draw parallels to today’s political/populist landscape) with their musical about the seventh U.S. president. Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson follows America’s seventh president from his early days as a child on the wild frontier to his controversial reign in the White House. With the country divided into rich and poor (and with continued skirmishes with the Native Americans upsetting pieces of the new world), Jackson begins his steady climb from military strategist to populist rabble-rouser to President of the United States. Along the way, he meets his wife, Rachel, takes on the Founding Fathers — and rocks like no political figure has ever rocked before, with the help of an onstage trio and an entourage of singing, joking cohorts. It also asks the question: is wanting to have a beer with someone reason enough to elect him? What if he’s really, really hot? With a raucous blend of outrageous comedy, anarchic theatricality and an infectious rock score, this wildly entertaining 90-minute show is perfect for comedic actors and singers, with minimal dancing required. Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is an actor-driven, rather than design-dependent, musical; it encourages breaking the fourth wall, audience participation and rocking out! General Seating: Adult $15; Student/Youth/Senior $10. Require Accessible Seating? Please contact the Ticket Office for further information.

May 09 Celebrating Women and the 100th Anniversary of Women's Suffrage

Bel Air High School, 100 Heighe Street, Bel Air. 07:30 PM - 09:30 PM The SSO’s season finale will begin with Elgar’s famous “Pomp and Circumstance March No. 4”! This isn’t the popular graduation tune, but it is a famous march, one of five Elgar wrote under the same title. The year 2020 marks the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven’s birth in Bonn, Germany. Do we need another reason to celebrate this ever-popular composer? We will begin the celebration with this concert by performing his Symphony No. 8 in F Major, and the anniversary remembrance will continue into next season. The SSO’s May concert’s second half is a bow to American women who finally attained the right to vote 100 years ago. This portion of the concert will begin with “Prayer” by Amanda Harberg, followed by Jennifer Hutt’s series of vignettes; Jen is a Bel Air native, that makes her living composing for French film and playing rock and blues violin. Next, the SSO will perform Florence Price’s wonderful “Dances in the Canebrakes”, as orchestrated by William Grant Still. Florence Price (1887-1953) was the first African-American female composer to have a major work performed by a professional symphony orchestra. The concert will conclude with an SSO favorite which is often performed at the orchestra’s outdoor concerts: Tracey Rush’s “Spirit of Freedom”. This work is a patriotic march in the best sense, with fun percussion and screaming brass. The May concert will also feature talented orchestra students from Harford County Public School’s Side-by-Side concert. • manager@ssorchestra.org • https://www.purplepass.com/?fbclid=IwAR2fbnRy644D4svgIn4MvqTybn00N-VcrxBFnTpaxuFv0YDmjrpRGysyUA4#190840/Susquehanna_Symphony_Orchestra_(SSO)-19th_Century_Leipzig-Bel_Air_High_School-October-19-2019.html.

May 13 "The Human Element" – Film Screening

Havre de Grace Maritime Museum, 100 Lafayette St., Havre de Grace. 07:00 PM - 09:00 PM We humans are a force of nature. At the same time as human activities alter the basic elements of life – earth, air, water, and fire – those elements change human life as well. During his four-decade career as an environmental photographer and explorer, James Balog has focused his lens on the complex relationship between humans and nature. Human activity has now surpassed all other forces shaping our world. Balog’s work has challenged us to contemplate our place in, and responsibility to, the natural world. “The Human Element” features subjects who are often overlooked victims of climate change. Balog visits Tangier Island, a fishing community facing the imminent reality of sea level rise threatening their future. We meet Yadira Sanchez and her three children in Denver, all of whom suffer from asthma, and attend a special school for children struggling with air. Balog embeds with a Cal Fire strike team on the frontlines of the most expensive wildfire in California history. And he ventures deep into Kentucky coal country, meeting unemployed miners finding hope from a new source. Balog argues that humans are part of the whole system of nature and not apart from it. Knowing this, he finds great hope that the fifth element, the human element, can bring the whole system back into balance. From the producers of “Racing Extinction,” “The Cove” and “Chasing Ice,” this new documentary captures the lives of everyday Americans on the front lines of climate change. With rare compassion and heart, “The Human Element” inspires us to reevaluate our relationship with the natural world. Watch the official trailer here: https://vimeo.com/324777810. Presented as part of the monthly Environmental Film Series, which is made FREE to the public through the ongoing partnership of the Havre de Grace Green Team and the Havre de Grace Maritime Museum. All films are held inside the Maritime Museum’s main gallery, and are followed by a discussion. 410.939.4800 • hdggreenteam@gmail.com • info@hdgmaritimemuseum.org • http://www.hdggreenteam.org/.
