Q:
I recently watched the finale of “Supernatural.� They really did a great job with the way they ended it. Now that the series is over, I know Jared Padalecki is going to be on the new “Walker, Texas Ranger,� but does Jensen Ackles have anything in the works? — K.L. As far as his acting career goes, Ackles, who played Dean on “Supernatural,� has landed a role on the upcoming season of “The Boys.� It’s an Amazon original series about a group of vigilantes who go after corrupt superheroes. Ackles will play a character named Soldier Boy, who fought in World War II. You can stream the first two seasons of “The Boys� now to get yourself familiar with the plot, as season three likely won’t air until fall of 2021. Ackles also inked a deal to develop shows for Warner Bros., and he and his wife, Danneel, have formed a production company. Danneel also had a recurring role on “Supernatural� as Sister Jo and an angel named Anael. She’s no stranger to the CW network, having previously played Rachel on “One Tree Hill� for several seasons. *** Whatever happened to Brandon Routh, the actor who played Superman before Henry Cavill. I really liked him. He’s second only to Christopher Reeve as the true Superman, in my eyes. — J.E. He’s still around! After playing the Man of Steel in the 2006 film “Superman Returns,� Routh’s career seemed to fizzle. Henry Cavill carried on the Superman franchise in feature films, but Routh actually continued in the role on television. He played Superman, and other roles, on the CW series “DC Legends of Tomorrow,� “The Flash� and others. Next up is a recurring role as a cop on the new season of ABC’s “The Rookie.� You can follow Matt on Instagram @ MattBrown511, where he showcases his artwork and quiet new life in California. *** I heard there’s a new series based on the classic “Hardy

Q: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, excessive alcohol consumption is responsible for one in 10 deaths among working-age adults in the United States. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which are produced jointly every five years by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of AgriAadults about healthy alcohol consumption. According to the guidelines, women should consume no more than one drink per day while men should limit their consumption to two drinks per day or less. Consuming more alcohol than the guidelines suggest can prove fatal, as the CDC notes that binge drinking is responsible for almost half the deaths related to excessive alcohol consumption.

Q:
Jordon Nuttall/The CW Network
Brandon Routh as Superman Boys� books. I grew up reading the books, along with “Nancy Drew.� Wasn’t there an old “Hardy Boys� TV show years ago? — G.F. There have been several TV shows and movies based on the “Hardy Boys� mystery novels, but the one you’re probably thinking of is “The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries� starring Shaun Cassidy and Parker Stevenson. Pamela Sue Martin played sleuth Nancy. It aired from 1977-79. The latest installment of “The Hardy Boys� streams on Hulu and stars Rohan Campbell (“Virgin River�) and Alexander Elliot (“Locke & Key�). The books on which the series takes its name were first published in 1927, and Hulu’s version is vastly different. It takes place in the 1980s, which will inevitably lead to comparisons to Netflix’s “Stranger Things� series. “The Hardy Boys� is a show that families can watch together, and we definitely need more programming like that while we’re all cooped up.

A Christmas Story — An American staple that’s been enjoyed by generations, this is the story of Ralphie, a 9-year-old boy who wants nothing more than a Red Ryder BB gun. Rebuffed with excuses from his mother and teacher, he appeals to the local department store Santa, but the message is the same: You’ll shoot your eye out. But will he? Along the way to the answer, Ralphie, his family and friends will face down neighborhood bullies, battle some dogs, win a major award and have a very memorable Christmas dinner.

One outstanding benefit of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic is an increased interest in cooking — in particular, baking. My inner fat girl — and my outer fat girl, if I’m being honest — is excited for all the holiday goodies being roasted and rolled, proofed and powdered, sprinkled and sauteed out there. What activity pairs best with these kinds of culinary delights? Christmas movies, of course. Bake and watch the day away with these four classics! Elf — Director Jon Favreau helms a wholesome family story of Buddy the Elf (Will Ferrell), who was raised by elves in the North Pole but always felt a little ... different. When he finds out that he’s not actually an elf, he sets off for Manhattan in search of his real dad, Walter (James Caan), a book publisher whose heart is a size too small. While Walter’s busy resisting the fact that childlike Buddy is his son, Buddy gets to work spreading holiday cheer — to Walter’s family, at the local department store and in the heart of delightful store clerk Jovie (Zooey Deschanel). Die Hard — Can an action movie also be an iconic Christmas movie? Yippee-kai-yes! Bruce Willis stars as John McClane, a NY cop who flies out to sunny California to attend the office Christmas party of his mildly estranged wife at Nakatomi Plaza. When a group of German terrorists headed by Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) takes over the tower, McClane goes into overdrive to free the hostages and take out the bad guys one by one before they can steal $640 million in bearer bonds.

resulting cat and mouse action hatched a series of “Die Hard” films. How the Grinch Stole Christmas — Ron Howard directs the classic Dr. Seuss tale with a larger-than-life Jim Carrey in the role of the great green meanie. Looking down on all the Whos in Whoville at their joyous celebration of the season, the Grinch is seized by a terrible idea: steal Christmas so he won’t have to hear all that infernal exuberance. All he needs is the right red suit, a sizable sleigh pulled by a questionable reindeer and the cold-heartedness to take every present and bow. It doesn’t work out the way he plans.

rinsed and chopped, or 1 (10-ounce) package chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed to remove moisture 2 cups cooked quinoa or cooked brown rice, or mixture of both 1 cup low-fat Cheddar cheese 2 large avocados, peeled and pits removed, sliced 1/2 cup low-fat Greek yogurt 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves 1. Heat oven to 375 F. Cut the peppers in half lengthwise, slicing from the stem to the bottoms, leaving the stems intact. Remove the white pithy ribs near stem and down length of inside. Remove the ribs and seeds, and discard. Place the peppers in a shallow 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Drizzle the peppers with 1 tablespoon of the oil.

A few years ago, Dr. Mehmet Oz asked me to create a recipe containing foods that help to naturally reduce stress and to do a cooking demo on “The Dr. Oz Show.â€? I found that the following ingredients have stress-reducing properties: • Red, Orange and Yellow Bell Peppers — These peppers contain vitamins A and C and folate, which help give you more energy and repair cell damage caused by stress. When under prolonged stress, the body gets depleted of vitamin C, an antioxidant that fights the free radicals that get released when you’re stressed. These free radicals have been shown to cause cancer. • Turkey — An amino acid called L-tryptophan contained in turkey triggers the release of serotonin, which is a feel-good, muscle-relaxing brain chemical. L-tryptophan has a calming effect. Turkey also contains tyrosine, an amino acid that helps your brain produce the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine. Activating those chemicals helps your brain work faster and be more effective at handling complex mental problems. • Spinach — Dark green vegetables are powerhouses of vitamins that help replenish our bodies in times of stress. Many dark green vegetables also contain potassium, which is good for our nerves and can calm them. • Quinoa and Brown Rice — Quinoa is rich in vitamin B, which has a calming effect on the body and helps relieve feelings of stress and anxiety while enhancing your mood. Brown rice is a healthy carbohydrate and boosts serotonin levels, which has a calming, soothing effect. All whole grains contain B vitamins and fiber, and also supply serotonin-producing carbohydrates that do not spike blood sugar levels. When you eat a carbohydrate, your body sends an amino acid

called tryptophan into the brain to trigger the manufacture of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that makes you feel tranquil and better able to cope. • Low-Fat Cheese, Greek Yogurt — The whey and protein in milk products like cheese and yogurt help your nerves stay healthy, stabilize your blood sugar, stops you from feeling those extreme highs and low when you eat sugar, and has been shown to decrease anxiety and frustration. When consumed over a period of time, the calcium in dairy also has been shown to calm muscles and help keep blood pressure in check. • Avocado — The monounsaturated fats and potassium in avocados help lower blood pressure. Avocados have more potassium than bananas. Monounsaturated fat also helps keep receptors in the brain sensitive to mood-boosting serotonin.

HOLLYWOOD — Loyal “Jeopardy!� fans were saddened to learn that their favorite host, Alex Trebek, had pancreatic cancer. Alex vowed he would fight as hard as he could to beat it. Bravely he soldiered on, taping episodes of “Jeopardy� until the last two weeks of his life. On Nov. 8, at the age of 80, he went to host that great big “Jeopardy!� game in the sky. We’ll all miss Alex very much, but he wanted the show to go on. The big question is who can fill his shoes? The answer is Ken Jennings, the highest earning American game show contestant of all time. Jennings won 74 consecutive “Jeopardy!� games with the highest average of correct responses per game. He won $2,520,700 for 74 wins, $2,000 for placing second in his 75th appearance, $500,00 second-place prize for the “Jeopardy! Ultimate Tournament of Champions� (2005), $300,000 second place prize for the IBM Challenge (2011), in which he lost to the Watson Computer, $100,000 second place prize for the “Jeopardy! Battle of the Decades� (2014), $100,000 second place prize (his share of his team’s $300,000 prize) in 2019’s “Jeopardy! All Star Games,� and finally, $1 million as first-place winner of “Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time� (2020), for a grand total of $4,522,700. Jennings is 46 years old, a graduate of Brigham Young University who has written several books, including “Brainiac: Adventures in the Curious, Competitive, Compulsive World of Trivia Buffs� (2006). He and his wife, Mindy, and their two children, 18-year-old Dylan and 15-yearold Caitlin, live in Seattle. In 2020 he became a consulting producer of “Jeopardy!� and now, beginning Jan. 11, he’ll be what is being called the guest host, the first in a series of “in-house� guest hosts. But this avid comic book and movie geek (how did he ever miss being on “The Big Bang Theory�?) will undoubtedly become the new host of “Jeopardy!� Question:

When will they let us in on this! *** Plans are afoot for releasing films into theaters again. The roll out began slowly but starts to pick up with the pre-Christmas opening of “Monster Hunter,� starring Milla Jovovich and Ron Pearlman. Then things really heat up with the Dec. 25 release of the Civil War drama “News of the World,� starring Tom Hanks, and “Wonder Woman 1984,� starring Gal Gadot and Chris Pine. January sees the debut of “Pieces of a Woman,� starring Shia LaBeouf, Vanessa Kirby and Ellen Burstyn; and “The 355,� starring Jessica Chastain, Penelope Cruz and Lupita Nyong’o. Also coming in the new year, “I Carry You With Me,� about a gay couple from Mexico seeking a better life in the U.S., starring Armando Espitia and Christian Vasquez. Are these stars and films enough to force us to give up being lumpy couch potatoes? Stay tuned! Š 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

APPLE SLICE DESIGNS Slice an apple in half through the middle crosswise. Cut several thin, round slices from each of the halves. Set them on a cutting board, and let your child press tiny cookie cutters through the middle core section of each slice — leaving a cute shape in the middle. Discard the cut-out pieces containing seeds and the core. Nibble on the rest! TIP: To encourage healthy apple snacking, keep an assortment of small cookie cutters on hand and use them for making "apple-slice designs." Use tiny pumpkins in fall, Christmas-tree and star-shaped cookie cutters in December, a snowman in January, a heart in February and a bunny for spring.

Various medications can be dangerous for drivers Impaired driving claims thousands of lives every year. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, nearly 30 people die in drunk driving crashes every day in the United States. Drivers no doubt recognize the dangers of driving after consuming alcohol, but consuming other, seemingly less threatening substances also can put drivers in danger, even during times of day when drivers would otherwise think the roads are as safe as possible. In its 2013-14 National Roadside Study of Alcohol and Drug Use, the NHTSA found that 10 percent of weekday, daytime drivers surveyed tested positive for prescription and/or over-the-counter drugs. Many people recognize that prescription drugs tend to be stronger than OTC drugs, and that recognition may naturally compel them to be extra cautious before driving after taking prescription meds. But the potential side effects of OTC drugs also merits caution on the part of drivers. It’s vital that drivers recognize certain facts about OTC and prescription drugs and keep them in mind before getting behind the wheel. • The side effects of OTC drugs can be serious. It’s easy to write off the side effects of medications that can be purchased as easily as a candy bar.
However, the NHTSA notes that OTC medications can induce drowsiness, cause nausea, cloud drivers’ judgment, and adversely affect drivers’ hand-eye coordination. Each of those effects can make it dangerous for drivers to get behind the wheel, so it’s imperative that drivers avoid driving if any of the aforementioned symptoms appear. • Some prescription medications have been linked to higher risk of crashing. According to the NHTSA, opioids, sedatives, muscle relaxants, and some antidepressants have been associated with increased crash risk. When prescribed such medications, patients should discuss how to approach driving with their physicians. • Mixing medications can impair driving ability. Medications that do not cause side effects on their own may still prove harmful if mixed with other drugs. Mixing drugs with alcohol also can produce side effects that impair driving ability, even for drivers who do not feel as though they consumed an amount of alcohol that would normally compromise their ability to drive safely. Recognizing the ways prescription and OTC medications can impair driving ability is a vital component of safe driving.

Artists sometimes only make one kind of art, perhaps keeping to painting, sculpture or jewelry. But many try all kinds of art before they find the one that is best. Self-taught Peter Hunt (1896-1967) started painting thrift shop furniture with peasant designs in 1929. His colorful pieces sold quickly in Cape Cod and became so fashionable that they were sold in the furniture departments of Macys, Gimbels and other well-known department stores. Old boxes, school desks, strollers, toys, buckets, trays, fabrics and more were decorated. Hunt was handsome, charming and clever, and he sold his folk art to important socialites, including Helena Rubenstein, who promoted his work. He also wrote cookbooks and how-to guides so amateurs could copy his style. His painting is compared to early Pennsylvania German or Norwegian Rosemaling. His painted designs were signed with “Anno Domini,� the last two numbers of the year, and his cursive signature. Sometimes he added French phrases to the decorations. But the fad only lasted till the 1960s, and he died penniless. Peter Hunt’s art is being collected again. This Hunt dollhouse, painted inside and out, sold at a recent Eldred auction for $240. A large piece of furniture could bring over $1,000. *** I haven’t been able to identify the maker of my silver water pitcher. The mark includes the initials “L.B.S. CO.� and “E.P.N.S.� and a cross, a crown and a shield. I presume the interior is aluminum because it’s very lightweight. It looks very modern. Do you have any idea who the maker is and the time period? What can I expect as to its value? This mark was used by Lawrence B. Smith Co. of Boston, Massachusetts. The company was founded in 1887 and made silver and silver plate serving pieces. It went out of business in the late 1950s. The letters “E.P.N.S� stand for “electroplated nickel silver.� Sterling silver is solid silver. Nickel silver doesn’t contain

The folk art paintings on the dollhouse are the signed work of Peter Hunt. The 39-inch-high plywood toy was decorated in 1941.
any silver but is an alloy made of about 20% nickel, 60% copper and 20% zinc. In electroplating, an electric current is used to deposit a thin layer of silver onto the base metal. The process came into commercial use about 1840. Modern silver plate trays are almost impossible to sell and have no melt down value since they aren’t solid silver. Your silver plate pitcher might sell for about $50 to $75. *** CURRENT PRICES Face jug, salamander on forehead, spaced teeth, hooked nose, handled, greenish black, 9 1/2 inches, $130.

• Candles will burn more evenly if you refrigerate them for a few hours before lighting. • “I have drafty windows. I took a plastic shower curtain and cut it to fit the windows. Then I secured it with tape. It’s worked well to keep out the drafts, and I just remove it once a week and clean the windows with vinegar to discourage any mold from growing. It will work until next spring, anyway.” — P.S. in Michigan • There is a reason that most refrigerators have more than one crisper drawer. Some items need to be stored separately. For example, keep apples and carrots in different compartments. The apples give off a gas that can give the carrots a bitter taste. • A great tip from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals: During the winter, outdoor cats sometimes sleep under the hoods of cars. They can be injured or even killed by the starting of the motor. Before you start your car in the morning (or any time of day, really) give your hood a nice loud rap to give the cat a chance to escape. • “To keep melting snow, mud and leaves out of your house and off of your floors, line a wide, shallow box bottom with plastic wrap or a kitchen-size garbage bag. Place the lined box near the front door to hold dirty shoes.” — R.I. in Ohio • Mix some salt with a little bit of water and rub the mixture over your hands for a few minutes to get rid of the smell of garlic or onions from cooking. Rinse under cold water.” — J.J. in Nevada Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. © 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Handle a potentially awkward situation by warming up your confidence reserves and letting it radiate freely. Also, expect an old friend to contact you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s not too early for the practical Bovine to begin planning possible changes for 2021. A recent contact can offer some interesting insights. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A request for an unusual favor should be carefully checked out. Also check the motives behind it. Your generosity should be respected, not exploited. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Party time beckons, but for some Moon Children, so do some workplace challenges. Deal with the second first, then you’ll be free to enjoy the fun time. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A warm response to an earlier request might be a positive indicator of what’s ahead. Meanwhile, Cupid could pay a surprise visit to single Leos looking for love. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) How you respond to a proposed change in a project could affect your situation. Be prepared to show how well you would be able to deal with it.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) The revelation of a secret could cause some changes in how to deal with a workplace matter. It very likely also validates a position you have long held. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) An attempt to get too personal could upset the very private Scorpio. Make it clear that there’s a line no one crosses without your permission. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) The savvy Sagittarian might be able to keep a family disagreement from spilling over by getting everyone involved to talk things out. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Be careful not to push people too hard to meet your ideas of what the holiday weekend’s preparations should be. Best to make it a cooperative, not a coerced, effort. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) An unexpected request could make you rethink a position you’ve had for a long time. Meanwhile, plan a family get-together for the weekend. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Someone might find that it was a fluke to try to use your sympathetic nature to get you to accept a situation you’re not comfortable with. Good for you. BORN THIS WEEK: You like challenges that are both mental and physical, and you enjoy always beating your personal best. © 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.
