Today, Tim sits down with fellow gardening nerds, Anna Kramer and Karl Schrass, the owners and proprietors of Annapolis Compost. Before moving to Maryland in 2015, Anna and Karl spent four years in Germany, where separating food waste is a part of daily life. In Annapolis, however, they faced a lack of options and struggled to find a way to recycle their scraps. It was that search that sprouted the idea for Annapolis Compost.

We talk about the growth of the foundation and all that it does for our veterans and active duty service members. And we even discuss fire departments. From Travis' visit to Rescue 1 of the FDNY and our own Annapolis Volunteer Fire Department and their memorial garden.  If not me...then who?  LINKS Travis Manion Foundation

Newly minted Annapolis Police Chief Scott Baker sat down with us to talk about the future direction of the department. After a nationwide search, the Mayor decided the best choice was a cop right in the department (he was the #2 under former Chief Pristoop) and one that had the respect of the rank and file officers. We discussed his vision and the differences between him and the older regime, the 30 plus outreach programs the Annapolis Police Department currently has, the relationship between the department and the council/mayor and the major issues facing him as Chief--opioids, gangs, and establishing a trust with the citizens of Annapolis.  What we did NOT talk about (because this news broke the day after we recorded) was the recent allegations surrounding a lawsuit that is to be filed alleging that an officer (who has since resigned) stole $1500 from a citizen during an incident. Nor did we discuss the latest incident involving "inappropriate contact" between an officer and a citizen involved in an incident.
