TRANSCRIPT:
Good morning, it’s Friday, January 29th 2021 and THIS is your Eye On Annapolis Daily News Brief.
I’m gonna lead off with a double dose of good news on the COVID front. Yesterday, Governor Hogan announced that the 10pm curfew imposed on restaurants across Maryland will go away on Monday, February 1st. And usually, in a game of political one-upmanship, County Executive Pittman goes the opposite direction. But not this time. I got confirmation late yesterday afternoon that the County Executive will indeed follow the state orders this time. BUT, while the county relaxes capacities today at noon, the elimination of the curfew will not happen until Monday. And, a bit later today, the Anne Arundel County Economic Development Corp will be unveiling a new minority owned business program–they’ve kept it pretty close to the vest so far, so we will have more info on Monday!
A County Deputy Sheriff and another person were taken to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore yesterday morning after an accident on I-97. Just about 6:30am, the sheriff was southbound on 97 near Waterbury Road and a car on the shoulder reportedly backed off the shoulder into the travel lanes and was struck by the deputy. The sheriff’s office has said the deputy was not at fault; however the Anne Arundel County Police are investigating. Both of the people involved were taken to shock-trauma as a precaution and both are expected to recover. The deputy has been employed with the department for 3 years.
Shortly after that accident, former Delegate and former candidate for Governor Heather Mizeur has tossed her hat into the congressional ring. She will be taking on Congressman Andy Harris in 2022 as the incumbent plans to run for a 7th term. Mizeur, cited the riots in the Capitol on January 6th as the reason along with Harris’s actions after. The evening of January 6th, he nearly got into a fistfight with another representative, and a week ago, he was stopped by the police for attempting to bring a loaded weapon onto the floor of the House of Representatives.

And finally, some events for your calendar. Starting Monday and lasting for 7 days, you can snag the recipes for some of your favorite soups from some of your favorite area restaurants and chefs. It is the 15th annual Heritage Baptist Church’s SOUPer Bowl. Usually it is in person and features real soup; but this year—COVID. So they are sharing their recipes all week on their Facebook page — Heritage Annapolis and since it is a fundraiser all proceeds go to the Light House. You can make contributions at HeritageLoves.com/onlinegiving
And this is not until Valentine’s Day, but I know it will sell out VERY fast. The Annapolis Town Center is putting some romance on the big screen in their drive thru. It was a a sell-out at Halloween and will be again this time. $75 gets you in for a 530 showing of Casablanca–where I will be… or an 830 showing of La La Land on Saturday, February 13th. The price of admission also gets you a gift certificate to a Town Center restaurant, two mini bottles of champagne and a rose! Boom I saved Valentines Day for the guys! Tickets at VisitATC.com
