• “If you heat a pita in the microwave first, it will be easier to open and will rip less. About 10 seconds should do it.” — M.E. in Georgia • Baby have diaper rash? One of the best remedies is “air time” — that is, letting baby go without a diaper for a bit. Another simple soother is a baking soda bath. Try adding 2-4 tablespoons of baking soda to Junior’s bathwater. • Use this tip to vacuum seal your meat for the freezer without any special equipment! Add meat pieces to a plastic, zipper-top bag. Fill a large pot several inches deep with water. Seal all but an inch or so of the bag. As you lower the bag into the water (zipper top up) the air will escape through the unsealed portion. When no air remains, seal the bag and then remove from the water. • “Have you tried this single-serving blender hack using a mason jar? Many standard-size blender blades can be screwed on to a pint Mason jar. If you’re one of the lucky ones, you can make single servings of smoothies to blend and go.” — T.U. in South Carolina • “Apply petroleum jelly to the panes of your windows before painting the trim. This works better than masking tape in many ways. It is easily removed, and even large paint flecks come right off.” — P.S. in Illinois • After you’ve cooked your chicken whole, remove the meat and throw the bones and remaining carcass in the slow cooker with 3-4 cups of water. Let it cook on low for several hours for a spectacularly flavorful broth. Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

The Way Down — This three-part documentary exposes The Remnant Fellowship, a Southern megachurch that seemed to follow the Scientology playbook of brainwashing, intimidation and guilt-based money-grubbing. The church was created and led by Gwen Shamblin, a diet guru obsessed with weight loss and big hair (and money, and power). The film was well into production when Shamblin, her husband and five others from the church were killed in a small-plane crash in Tennessee in May 2021. As such, two more upcoming episodes will be released in early 2022 to cover the fallout of the loss of the church’s leadership, including pending lawsuits. (HBOMax) Life’s a Glitch With Julien Bam (16+) — Imagine being a wildly famous internet influencer when out of the blue, a “Back to the Future”-like car crash transports you and your best buddy to a parallel universe where you are now a big fat nobody but your friend is a world-famous rapper. Such is the plot of this four-episode German comedy series starring Julien Bam — an actual YouTube celebrity — and Joon Kim. While attempting to find their way back to their previous reality, the two gents encounter various misadventures from mistaken identity hijinks to an MMA beatdown. Premieres Oct. 21. (Netflix) Invasion — A series of unexplained and seemingly random incidents, accidents and tragedies fall upon the planet. But the increasingly destructive events are soon determined to be interconnected, and their origin is not of the earth. Crashes, explosions, sickness, plagues; will it be the end of humanity? The 10-episode original series feels very “War of the Worlds ‘05,” but it stars Sam Neill, so there’s still hope. Premieres Oct. 22. (Apple TV+)

Julien Bam in “Life’s a Glitch” Dopesick -– In the mood for an emotional series about how corporation-encouraged opioid addiction has overtaken and destroyed America’s already financially depressed coal mining towns? Look no further than this original series based on a true story. In it, Michael Keaton plays Samuel Finnix, a local physician who believed the hype about Purdue Pharma’s painkiller, OxyContin. After widely prescribing the alleged miracle drug, he comes to realize he unwittingly contributed to the addiction and deaths of many of his patients. Dr. Finnix then joins the fight against Purdue alongside the U.S Drug Enforcement Agency. The cast also features Peter Sarsgaard, Rosario Dawson and Will Poulter. (Hulu)

Behind the Music — From 1997 to 2014, VH1’s “Behind the Music” was the ultimate weekend couch-vegging program. Every episode brought to light all of the darkest days of our favorite musicians. It seemed every musical act from Leif Garrett to Hall & Oates to Anthrax was featured, exposing their addictions, bankruptcies and broken relationships. It was awesome. And now it’s back! Eight all new episodes are currently available, some with artists who have been previously featured on the show. My episode recommendations: Huey Lewis and Duran Duran. (Paramount+)

Every year, the week before Halloween, we host a little pumpkin carving party. Since I'm an enthusiast of inexpensive, nearly effortless entertaining, I'll be making pumpkin chili for our pumpkin party. I just get it in the pot in the morning to have a super simple supper ready in the afternoon. This scrumptious recipe feeds a crowd, smells divine and always gets raves. It's the perfect chili to serve on Halloween because it's family-friendly comfort food with lots of protein to counter all the trick-or-treat goodies. And just look at all these veggies! There are tomatoes, peppers, onion, beans, chilies and, of course, pumpkin. It's practically virtuous! One thing you'll love about this pumpkin chili is that it's www.JasonCoblentz.com exceptionally thick, more like Pumpkin chili on cornbread waffles a stew really.

'World's Best Granola' Is Kid-Friendly Recipe Homemade granola is tasty to eat any time of day, but in our family it's a staple for fall breakfasts with nonfat plain yogurt and fresh fruit. Not only is granola a nutritious start to the day, with its wholesome blend of heart-healthy oats and chopped nuts, but a handful makes a satisfying after-school treat with a glass of milk, and a few spoonfuls add crunch to a scoop of ice cream for an evening dessert. Granola is so easy to prepare that you and your kids can make this recipe in a jiffy — just under an hour. While one child measures and stirs together the dry ingredients in a big bowl, another can measure, pour and stir the liquids in another. Combine all of the ingredients in the big bowl, and voila! The just-sweet-enough mixture is ready for you to spread on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Give it a try and see why the fresh taste of this homemade granola rivals any packaged mixture.
World's Best Granola 3 1/2 1 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2
cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick-cooking) cup brown sugar teaspoon cinnamon teaspoon baking powder teaspoon salt cup coarsely chopped almonds cup coarsely chopped pecans
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. 2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, or spray with nonstick spray. 3. Combine the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and nuts in a large mixing bowl. 4. Stir together the oil, vanilla and egg whites in a small bowl. Add to dry ingredients and toss well.
Homemade granola is a fall staple. 5. Spread the mixture evenly on the baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. Cool completely; stir in raisins and store in an airtight container. Makes about 5 cups. Note: If you wish, substitute 1/4 cup pure maple syrup and 1/4 cup honey for the brown sugar, and combine with liquid ingredients before tossing with dry ingredients. Creative tip: Let kids draw a label to tape or glue to the outside of a plastic storage container or glass jar. It might say "The Johnsons' World's Best Granola." *** Find more family fun at www.donnaerickson.com.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I read your column about a pet sitter who had to deal with a sick cat. Even though it was a scary story, I still want to be a professional pet sitter. I’m still in high school, but this is a dream job for me. How do I get started? Do I need to be certified by a national organization? — Sarah, Blue Ridge, Georgia DEAR SARAH: Pet sitting can be a rewarding career, especially if you do the groundwork needed to really succeed at it. You don’t need a certificate from an organization like the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters, but having a certificate helps prospective clients feel more confident that you know your job and take it seriously. Here’s a few steps to take before starting a pet sitting business. — Talk to your parents about what you want to do. Because you’re under 18, it’s important to involve them in this decision. — Do some trial pet-sitting. With your parents’ permission and supervision, pet sit for family friends or relatives. You’ll get valuable experience and learn if you really like doing this. — Join pet sitting groups on social media. You can glean lots of useful advice from experienced pet sitters. — Learn about starting and running a small business. If your high school doesn’t offer a class or a club, sign up at a nearby community college. — Contact the Small Business Association (SBA.gov). They offer free counseling services to help you get a small business off the ground. — Check out some major pet sitting organizations online. The NAPPS (https://petsitters.org) in the U.S. and Pet Sitters International (https://www. petsit.com/) have lots of information and advice on running a great pet-sitting business.

Many people enjoy opening their homes to friends and family. Entertaining can include everything from backyard barbecues to hosting formal dinner parties to providing overnight accommodations. While each of those things is different, hosts always want to ensure their guests are as comfortable as possible, regardless of which style of gathering they’re hosting. Hosts can use these seven strategies to help guests feel at home. 1. Consider the details. Does your guest like chocolate covered almonds? Does he or she prefer a certain genre of music? Take note of the specific details that make the guest tick, and then incorporate them into your entertaining plans. 2. Ready the space. Not everyone has a full-fledged guest room, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create a welcoming and private retreat for guests. Turn a home office into an overnight area with a pull-out couch or even a dressed-up air mattress with high-quality linens. 3. Anticipate guests’ needs. Think like a concierge when hosting at home. Have extra toothbrushes, antiperspirant, mouthwash, and a phone
charger at the ready. Is your guest a reader? Keep a few selections nearby or a book of puzzles so they can stay busy during their downtime. 4. Keep dietary needs in mind. Guests have different palates and preferences, but some may have serious food allergies as well. Ask in advance if any guests have food allergies so you can ensure that any meals served are not just delicious, but also safe and healthy. 5. Keep pets at bay. Guests may not be as enamored with pets as their hosts. If you know a guest has an allergy or an aversion to pets, keep the animals away as much as possible. 6. Freshen the home. Take inventory of your home in its current state and make some minor improvements. Add some interior lighting, clean the bathrooms, create some extra seating, and freshen up with some flowers to make for a welcoming environment. 7. Prepare a special meal. Give guests a sensational meal they’re not likely to forget. This can mean indulging a little with sourced ingredients, home cooking and a good bottle of wine. Comfort should always be a priority when readying a home for guests.

5 Eye-Catching Ways to Update Your Home Your home is a reflection of you, and your decor should match your tastes. With some simple home upgrades, you can create the perfect space for you and your family, even if your design preferences change over time. “When we’re designing our ideal home, too often we may only think about what we want others to see and enjoy when they visit,” said Jack Goldman, president and CEO of the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (HPBA). “The reality is visitors account for less than 1% of your in-home time.” Consider these ideas to get started: Add a Fresh Coat of Paint One of the easiest home improvement projects, a fresh coat of paint can change the entire look of a room. Whether you choose to paint the entire space one new color, opt for an accent wall in a vibrant shade or simply freshen up the trim, paint can go a long way toward adding visual appeal and reflecting your personality. Patterned wallpaper, board and batten, stone and tile can also be added to create textured accents. Bring Warmth and Ambience with a Fireplace “A fireplace is for you and your family, a personal addition that serves you and your household in more ways than you may realize,” Goldman said. “October is National Fireplace Month, a time to celebrate the warmth, comfort and ambiance a fireplace or stove can bring to a home.” More than 3 in 5 homeowners have a fireplace or other hearth product in their homes, according to the HPBA, and including a fireplace in your construction or renovation plans is a gift of warmth, comfort and ambiance you can give yourself. Whether it’s a centerpiece for your living room or family room, or an accent to your bedroom, bathroom or study, a fireplace can provide an artful design element for your home and a safe, reliable
heat source in the event of unexpected weather. Update Lighting Fixtures Proper lighting can bring rooms to life and make spaces look larger and more welcoming. You can brighten up your home in a variety of ways, from strategically placing table and floor lamps that fit your design style to replacing older ceiling and wall-mounted fixtures with more modern styles. Give Cabinetry a Fresh Look There are numerous easy ways to update your kitchen and bathroom cabinets to create a more updated look. One of the easiest is swapping out older cabinet pulls and knobs for more modern options. With a variety of finishes - stainless, bronze, brushed nickel, black, copper and more and styles available, you can match your cabinets to nearly any design style in a matter of minutes.
Adding a coat of stain or paint is also a relatively quick and easy way to update some of the mostused spaces in your home without completely replacing the cabinets. Upcycle Furniture You can breathe new life into your current furniture by making simple changes. The easiest would be simply rearranging your pieces and moving some to different rooms to create an updated look. You can also add decorative covers to sofas, chairs, throw pillows and more, or take your upcycling a step further and refinish a bookshelf, table or other wooden furniture with a fresh coat of paint or stain, or give it a more weathered look with some sandpaper.

A table has three or four or more legs and a flat top. But some modern designers can make furniture that is almost unrecognizable but still serve the same purpose. Cottone Auctions had a recent sale featuring a collection of modern furniture, including pieces by Gianfranco Frattini (1926-2004). He is best known as an Italian architect, but he designed unusual furniture for Cassina and modern lamps for many companies. He is considered an important member of the Italian design movement of the late 1950s and ‘60s. The strange table pictured here is really a nest of four tables designed by Frattini in the 1960s. The group is fitted together like a jigsaw puzzle. The four tables vary in height up to 15 inches. The hammer price for the set was $1,416. The tables were first made by Cassina in 1966, and early examples have sold for almost $4,000. *** I have a bisque or porcelain bride and groom wedding cake topper that was used on my grandparents’ wedding cake. The bride is wearing a white dress with green sprigs on it. She has a wreath of pink roses on her head and is carrying a bouquet of pink roses. The groom is carrying his top hat in one hand and has his other arm linked through the bride’s arm. The bride figurine is hollow. The back of her skirt is embossed with the number “8942” above “Germany.” We’d like to know more about these figures. Wedding cakes were topped with bells, doves, cupid, flowers and sometimes by glass domes in the 1890s. Bride and groom wedding cake toppers weren’t used until the 1900s. They became popular in the 1920s. It’s possible to date many of them from the style of the bride’s dress. You know how old your topper is because you know the date of your grandparents’ marriage, and cake toppers are almost always new. It’s not possible to determine the maker since there is no mak-

Help With Parkinson’s Disease Symptoms DEAR DR. ROACH: Is acupuncture a possible therapy to relieve back pain and stiffness associated with Parkinson’s disease? — R.G. ANSWER: There have been many trials that show acupuncture is superior to no treatment for various symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. This is true especially for fatigue, but also in a composite score that includes stiffness. A systematic review of published studies found that “acupuncture has significant positive effects.” Other studies have shown that sham acupuncture, where random areas of the body were needled, was also effective in treating symptoms. This has led some skeptical authors to conclude that acupuncture is a placebo effect: The treatment convinces people that they are getting better, so they do feel better. However, if acupuncture were completely harmless and improved symptoms, I would recommend it to people who were interested. Acupuncture is mostly, but not entirely, harmless. Adverse events are not common with acupuncture, but they do happen. Minor adverse effects happen in about 9% of cases. Serious adverse events such as pneumothorax (sometimes called a collapsed lung) and nerve damage are occasionally reported. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I recently read in a magazine that it would be better to contact a registered nurse over a physician assistant for medical questions. I was surprised. Just what is the hierarchy below a
doctor? How about a nurse practitioner? — P.H. ANSWER: I don’t look at doctors, nurses and physician assistants as being in a strict hierarchy, but as important members of a team, whose job is to provide care. All of us on a team have different strengths and different knowledge. There are many parts of a nurse’s role that I (like the vast majority of doctors) am unqualified to perform, and any hospital (and many doctor’s offices, including mine) would descend into chaos within hours without nurses. Individual offices have different ways of answering patient’s questions by phone. In some offices, the doctor answers it directly, but in others, the nurse or PA might. Both have knowledge and expertise to do so, and can contact other members of the team if necessary. Both PAs and RNs are trained and skilled professionals. Nurse practitioners are clinicians. They act in nearly all ways as a doctor does with their patients. Most NPs I have known have specialized areas of knowledge. In my first faculty position at the University of Chicago, the NPs there had near-encyclopedic knowledge of gynecologic care of healthy women, and not only did they teach me a great deal, they were a valued resource when I had questions about well-woman care or common gynecologic issues. My NP colleagues at Cornell have great expertise in care of diabetes, and I frequently solicit their advice; I am also delighted to answer questions my NP colleagues have of me in other areas. Years of practicing together has led to a mutual respect for each other’s strengths. However, NPs are not physicians and generally do not perform surgery as a gynecologist does, nor usually take care of complex cases of Type 1 diabetes with insulin pumps, for example. It’s important for all of us clinicians not to exceed our level of competence, and to recognize when we need help and to make appropriate consultations. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

• On Nov. 5, 1605, King James I of England learns of a plot to blow up the Parliament building. Guy Fawkes had been found lurking in a cellar with 20 barrels of gunpowder. Fawkes revealed that he was part of a conspiracy to annihilate England’s Protestant government and replace it with Catholic leadership. • On Nov. 7, 1774, Richard Bache succeeds his father-in-law, Benjamin Franklin, as postmaster general. Benjamin Franklin was fired for opening and sending to a publisher Massachusetts Royal Governor Thomas Hutchinson’s correspondence. • On Nov. 6, 1854, John Philip Sousa, “The March King,” is born in Washington, D.C. Sousa composed 136 marches, including “The Washington Post” (1889) and “Stars and Stripes Forever” (1896). • On Nov. 4, 1922, British archaeologists discover the tomb of King Tutankhamen in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. The tomb contained a stone sarcophagus with three nested coffins. Inside the final solid gold coffin was the mummy of the boy-king Tutankhamen, preserved for more than 3,000 years. • On Nov. 2, 1947, the Hughes Flying Boat — the largest aircraft ever built — is piloted by designer Howard Hughes on its first and only flight. The massive wooden aircraft had a wingspan longer than a football field and was designed to carry more than 700 men to battle. • On Nov. 1, 1959, Montreal Canadien Jacques Plante becomes the first NHL goaltender to wear a full facemask. Despite the coach’s objection, Plante put his foot down as he’d “already had four broken noses, a broken jaw, two broken cheekbones and almost 200 stitches” in his head. • On Nov. 3, 1976, “Carrie,” a horror film starring Sissy Spacek and based on Stephen King’s 1974 best-selling first novel, opens in theaters. It tells the story of a high-school outcast who uses her telekinetic powers to exact a violent revenge on prom night. © 2021 Hearst Communications, Inc. All Rights Reserved

If you’ve never traveled along the Pacific Coast, or maybe you’d just like to experience it from a new perspective, there are few things quite like a road trip to take in the sights and experiences that make the journey one to remember. A road trip lets you set your own pace and enjoy the companionship of friends or family. When you’re ready to explore, outdoor adventures, historical experiences and 99 miles of coastline await in Monterey County, California, which is known as a scenic, beautiful expanse along the Pacific Coast. From wide-open beaches, verdant vineyards and fields to the peaks of the Santa Lucia Mountains, there’s plenty of room to roam. Scenic Beauty Some of the top scenic drives in the world are along California’s coast, where you’ll find a wide range of local topography. One example is Highway 1, where starting toward the north, you’ll see the state’s second largest wetlands, artichoke fields and rolling sand dunes, as well as cypress forests and the craggy coastline. Further south, you’ll encounter towering cliffs, redwoods and awe-inspiring bridges. Other notable sights include fishing ports; beaches; wildlife including seals, sea lions and sea otters; the famed Lone Cypress; mansions; and several championship golf courses. Outdoor Adventure When you’re ready for some action, there’s plenty to find along the coast. From a captivating 18mile long recreation trail with coastline views to kayaking, paddle boarding, surfing, whale-watching excursions and more, there are numerous ways to whet an appetite for adventure near the ocean. Inland, you’ll find options like hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, cave exploring and horseback riding. Wine Country Along the California coast, you can find tens of thousands of acres of vineyards producing more
than 53 different varietals of wine. In Monterey County alone, you can take your pick among 65 tasting rooms set against picturesque backdrops. How you choose to experience wine country is as diverse as the varietals you’ll discover. For example, you might head to the beach with a newly purchased bottle of your favorite wine, jump aboard a wine trolley to let someone else do the driving for a while or schedule a tour that takes you behind the scenes with a winemaker. Beach Time No visit to the coast is complete without a visit to the beach, but not all beaches are the same. From white sandy beaches to rocky cliffs, you could plan an entire road trip around the different kinds of beaches waiting for you to discover their beauty. Enjoy bird spotting, rock collecting, surfing, tide pooling and more. Some of the area’s greatest treasures are the lesser-known beaches, including one that sits in the middle of Cannery Row. The sheltered cove of
McAbee Beach was used by Portuguese whalers in the 1850s and Chinese fishermen in the early 1900s. Today, this secret beach is a perfect spot to let kids burn off energy before or after a trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Visitors can spot seals and otters playing offshore, and it’s a popular launching point for scuba divers exploring the kelp forests. Wellness for Body and Mind When you’ve taken in the sights and explored to your heart’s content, be sure to leave time for rejuvenation. From spas and meditation retreats to spending time in nature, it’s easy to make wellness a priority when visiting the California coast. You can even enjoy food that’s as good for you as it is delicious with a growing focus on sustainability by visiting daily farmers’ markets and fish markets, which provide a bounty of locally sourced produce, fresh meat, seafood and hand-made treasures for a truly enriching cultural experience.

Decorate Your Way to a Howling Good Halloween Costumes and candy may be mainstays of Halloween, but decorating is a fun way to set the mood and add a little extra excitement in the weeks leading up to the holiday. These spooktacular ideas can help dial up the drama and delight for all ages. Pumpkins aplenty: A traditional glowing jacko'-lantern may be one of Halloween's most recognized icons, but pumpkins can be used in plenty of other fun ways. You can dress them up with glitter and ribbon for a more elegant look or group a series of pumpkins in varied shapes and colors for a seasonal centerpiece. You can even give a pumpkin a coat of chalkboard paint and count down the days until Halloween. Creepy kids' crafts: Get little ghosts and goblins into the Halloween spirit with hand-made decorations that make your seasonal decor equal parts sweet and spooky. Fold a black piece of construction paper down the middle and trace a child's hand and wrist, with the wrist extending over the folded edge. Cut along the traced line, leaving the fold intact, and when you unfold the paper, you'll have a bat to decorate. Add eyes and attach string to the top of the wings to hang and display. Gross and ghoulish: Some of the best Halloween displays have something in common: attention to detail. Get creative with your props and decorations to incorporate some unexpected attention-grabbers like brains in a jar. Place bunches of cauliflower in a clear glass container
and cover with water died red. Spooky serving: If you're entertaining for Halloween, incorporate spooky decor with your food and drinks to keep the theme going throughout the party. Use cauldrons as serving bowls and skeleton hands as serving spoons. Add plenty of cobwebs and other spooky accents to the table, and search for easy recipes that fit your theme. One fun idea for kids is baking sugar cookies in fun Halloween shapes and serving them with a selection of food-safe syringes prefilled with colored frosting.
Ghostly greetings: All the tricks and treats indoors make for plenty of good spirit, but don't forget to set the scene outside, too. Dressing up your front door lets visitors know they're in for a real treat. A haunted graveyard scene or a spooky spider den with lots of critters dangling from fake cobwebs are sure to show all who dare to enter that a howling good time lies ahead. Find more frightfully fun ideas to make your home Halloween ready at eLivingtoday.com.

Celebrating Seniors!
The myths and misconceptions about older adults are too numerous to count. They range from false ideas about seniors and technology to the stereotype that older adults are lonely and grumpy. Spend time at a senior center or a retirement community, and you’ll see otherwise. National Senior Citizens Day is August 21. One way you can honor and celebrate the older adults in your community is by helping to bust some of the most common myths about aging. Myth #1: People get grumpy as they grow older. Fact: According to research from Stony Brook University, happiness actually begins to increase at age 50. People tend to be more content with life and in touch with who they are by that milestone. Happiness continues to improve throughout the next several decades. Myth #2: People feel old by the age of 60. Fact: Not so, says a 2009 Pew Research study. Their research showed that 60 percent of adults age 65 and older feel much younger than they actually are. Many older adults stated they felt 10 to 20 years younger. A positive attitude might have something to do with it. The seniors who said they felt younger than their birth date also expressed gratitude for all their blessings in life.
Myth #3: People who are olde have poor health. Fact: While there are some undeniable physical changes caused by aging, poor health isn’t solely due to age. Experts say lifestyle is the determining factor in aging with success. A few tips for aging well include staying socially connected, exercising, and committing to a healthy diet. Not smoking and managing stress also help. Myth #4: Older adults can’t learn new things. Fact: There are so many misconceptions and outdated ideas about learning and aging. Some say the brain shrinks, making it more difficult to adapt and learn. Others say physical changes like hearing and vision loss make learning tough during senior years.
While seniors with vision or hearing loss might learn differently, they are still able to expand their mind and grow. Research shows that seniors’ brains might actually find ways to compensate and work around some losses in cognitive function. Myth #5: Seniors can’t master social media. Fact: Sixty percent of older adults use the internet, say experts from Pew Research. Searching for information on health issues, sending and receiving emails, and shopping online are a few of the most popular uses. Social media is another. Older adults make up the fastest growing demographic on some social media platforms, including Facebook. Myth #6: Advancing age make people stubborn. Fact: This myth may be the result of older adults not conforming to family members’ wishes or expectations. Families often say a senior loved one is stubborn when what the senior is actually trying to do is maintain their independence and stay in control of their decisions.

RETIREMENT SPARKS by ELAINE M. DECKER
A Burst of Joy on Facebook There are more than a half dozen reasons why I’ve stayed on Facebook for more than a decade. But this summer it brought me unexpected new joy. I originally joined Facebook for networking for not-for-profit business reasons. I was the newly installed Executive Director of a federation of NFP agencies. Rather than risk their reputations by making mistakes or violating Facebook protocol on my initial activity, I joined under my own name. Since I still use my birth name that quickly led to reconnecting with old friends who found me. I promptly learned that people share all sorts of routine information on the site. Photos of the previous night’s meal are just one popular example. Imagine my surprise when one day some friends’ postings were anything but mundane. They can best be described as providing me with unexpected bursts of joy. As I scrolled through my news feed on that particular day, two photos that were not too far apart in the feed caught my attention. They were anniversary shots of friends who had each found their soul mates later in life. One couple lives in my neighborhood in Connecticut. The other is in New Jersey and is part of what I think of as my extended family. Though many couples marry in their twenties or early thirties, later marriages seem to be more and more common. My current husband and I married later in life. I was gob smacked at how deliriously happy these two couples clearly are. Their obvious joy created a similar burst of joy in me, so much so that their photos brought me to the verge of tears. Of all the reasons I stay on Facebook despite the rancor that frequently erupts, photos like these are a key reason I check in at least once a day to see what’s going on in the Facebook world. My husband and I never had children with either of our marriages. Photos of adorable grandchildren are among
the most frequent postings on Facebook and another top reason I log in. I claim that I live vicariously through the offspring of others. I used to get that only with holiday cards that had the latest family photos. Now I get them all the time online. Shots of family pets, also popular, easily catch my attention, too, especially cats that were adopted from shelters. Those of my friends who don’t have their own offspring are almost guaranteed to have pets that might as well be human. Their photos are in fierce competition for likes and shares with those of toddlers, preteens and teenagers. Ditto for accounts of their birthday celebrations. Speaking of those celebrations, one of Facebook’s features is providing daily reminders of friends’ birthdays. I usually post a short greeting on their feed, even if I don’t know them well. I consider it a friendly thing to do and most of them seem pleased and acknowledge the greetings. Someone who found me early on was my best friend from our New Jersey grammar school. We went our separate ways in high school. Not because we had a falling out. We just had different interests and followed different paths. For example, I joined the band; she joined the rifle club. We were coming up on our 50th high school reunion and we wound up working together to spearhead
our events, even though I now live in Connecticut. Previously, Facebook had also been useful for planning my college reunions and some other activities. A more pedestrian benefit of Facebook networking is finding people and services for various needs. I’ve obtained recommendations for cleaning services that way. Other folks’ searches have turned up dog walkers. My own most recent request was for a wagon to help transport my saxophone, folding chair and music stand from a parking lot to an outdoor band shell for weekly practice. Bursts of joy on seeing special anniversary photos. Pictures of new grandchildren. Shots of cuddly family pets. Those are some of the things that keep my on Facebook.

SENIOR ISSUES by LARRY GRIMALDI
Who was Benjamin Rush? On a recent walking tour of historic Philadelphia, we stopped a signpost marking the Christ Church Burial Ground, the final resting place of Benjamin Franklin. I also discovered that Benjamin Rush, also a Declaration of Independence signatory, is buried there. Since I had an office in the Benjamin Rush Building in Cranston (a former holding cell for alcoholics) working for the state Department of Elderly Affairs, I was curious to find learn more about this early American patriot. I discovered that Rush was a man of many talents. During his lifetime, He was a physician, politician, scholar, social reformer, humanitarian, and pioneer in the fields of mental health and addiction. He was a Colonial Renaissance Man, rivaling the life and careers of Benjamin Franklin. In addition to being a Pennsylvania delegate to the Continental Congress and ratifier of the Constitution, Rush had served as the Surgeon General of the Continental Army. Eventually, Rush became a professor of chemistry, medical theory, and clinical practice at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1965, his 18th century groundbreaking studies of mental illness earned him the title of “father of American psychiatry” from the American Psychiatric Society. Rush was born on January 4, 1746 in Byberry Township, a few miles outside Philadelphia. After his father’s death in 1751, he and his brother Jacob were sent to live with their aunt and uncle to pursue an education. After completing his early education, Rush enrolled in the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University,) graduating at the age of 14. From 1761 to 1766, he apprenticed under Dr. John Redman. With Redman’s encouragement, Rush studied at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland from 1766 to 1768, where he earned his medical degree. He returned to Colonial America in 1769 and opened a practice in Philadelphia. Rush was also tabbed as a Professor of Chemistry at the College of Philadelphia. During his academic tenure, he published the first American chemistry textbook, wrote several books on medical education, and found time to pen several noted essays on patriotism. Rush was appointed to the staff of Pennsylvania Hospital in 1783 and became Professor of Medical Theory at the University of Pennsylvania in 1791. He found time to serve as treasurer of the U.S, Mint from 1797 to 1813. A founder of Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, he was elected to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1794. Benjamin Rush was prominent voice for social reforms. In addition to his role in the founding the nation, he was an original member of the Philadelphia Society for Alleviating the Miseries of Public Prisons. Rush was an early and vocal opponent of slavery. While in Edinburgh, he was appalled at the sight of 100 slave ships in the Liverpool harbor. His horror prompted him to write “An Address to the Inhabitants of the British Settlement in America, Upon SlaveKeeping.” Rush argued that black people were not intellectually or morally inferior. Ironically, he read a paper for the American Philosophical Society in 1792 advancing the theory that the ‘color” and “figure” of blacks was derived from a form of leprosy and that with treatment they could be cured an become “white.” Despite his anti-slavery pronouncements, Rush purchased a slave named William Gruber and still owned Gruber when he joined the Pennsylvania Abolition Society in 1784. Rush was an opponent of capital punishment.
Consistent with medical practices of his day, Rush was a proponent of blood-letting and bodily purges using calomel purge solution (mercury chloride used today in fungicides), and other toxic substances. He eventually admitted that two treatments, sweats in vinegar-wrapped blankets accompanied by mercury rubs, and cold baths were ineffective and potentially harmful. Despite his failures, Rush was acclaimed for establishing a public clinic to treat low-income and public works laborers who contracted typhus, typhoid, and cholera from mosquito breeding grounds during the draining and rerouting of Dock Creek, a Philadelphia tributary of the Delaware River. Perhaps his most significant contributions made to modern medicine were in mental health. Rush published one of first clinical papers about mental illness and suggested treatments in, “Medical Inquiries and Observations, Upon the Diseases of the Mind,” in 1792. While he sought to categorize different forms of mental illness, he incorrectly theorized that many mental diseases were caused by disruptions of blood circulation or sensory overload. In an attempt to cure patients, Rush treated them with a centrifuge spinning board to improve circulation and inactivity/sensory deprivation, where the patient was secured in a “Tranquilizer Chair,” heads enclosed in a sensory depravation device. He also advocated blood-letting, purging with calomel, and (in somewhat contradictory treatments to his progressive thinking) coercion, restraints, some physical punishment, chains and dungeons. Unfortunately, these were the practices of the time. While at Philadelphia Hospital, Rush lobbied the facility to address the appalling conditions for mental health patients. He convinced the state to build a separate mental health ward, opened in 1792. Rush is also a pioneer in the field of occupational therapy and touted its value as an effective treatment for mental illness. In an exceptionally revolutionary and prophetic theory of addiction for the 18th century, Rush declared that alcoholism was a disease and a form of mental illness. He believed that the powerful effects of alcohol caused a person to lose control and render them powerless against the disease. The analysis was in direct conflict with the era’s popular belief that alcoholics were sinful, morally weak, and lacked the will power to defeat the addiction. This concept of addiction as a disease is now recognized medical fact. The American Psychiatric Association’s seal contains an image of Benjamin Rush. His contributions to medicine, diagnosis and treatment of mental illness and addiction, and his scholarly compassion are worthy of recognition. Rush died from typhus fever on April 19, 1813. His gravesite inscription reads, “Well done good and faithful servant. Enter thou into the joy of the Lord.” Well done indeed! Larry Grimaldi is a freelance writer living in North Providence.

Streusel Topping: In medium bowl, combine light brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir in butter until well combined and mix in half of pecans. Set aside. Apple Filling and Topping: In small heavy-bottomed saucepan, cook sugar over moderately low heat. Without stirring, shake pan to help sugar melt evenly, until melted and dark golden. Remove saucepan from heat and carefully add apples and vanilla bean pod and seeds (mixture will vigorously steam and caramel will harden).

Sprinkle with half the streusel and top with remaining apple filling. Sprinkle with remaining streusel and bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes and cut into 8 wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

This has been a year of changes - especially with more than a year of Covid. Unprecedented upheavals and disruptions in our lives. We’ve had to find new ways to work and live. New rules to follow that affected every aspect of our lives, and often in such fundamental ways. So much we took for granted - smiling, hugging, and simple human interaction - so many parts of our lives weren’t truly appreciated until they were taken away. We spent the month of February this past year in Florida and it was midnight when we arrived home. We found our house, thankfully, still standing as we had left it - no water gushing from frozen pipes, nothing out of place, our cars sitting silently in the driveway, no stacks of newspapers or mail piled up. I went to sleep feeling content that night, our first night home. But the next morning I opened up the bedroom blinds that cover the back window. The window that overlooks the backyard and the wooded expanse behind our back fence. I gasped, “What happened to all the trees?” Gone were the tall, stately maple trees - the majestic forest of ancient towering
canopies were reduced to stumps - freshly chopped. I loved those trees. In talking with our neighbors later in the day, we found that they were just as dismayed and crushed as we were. Apparently, one of them several houses away had complained to the city about one of the trees that bordered our backyards. It was dead or dying and precariously hovering above their house. They asked the city to take it down. The city came one February day when no one was around and took down that tree, and then decided to remove them all. We saw the hollow, diseased stump of the dead tree, and then counted at least twelve more large round and golden healthy stumps - all that remained of the tall and stately old trees that started out as saplings so many years ago. Trees that grew into a magnificent green woodland that ruled the perimeters of our neighborhood. Our next-door neighbors had a birdhouse attached to the tree behind their fence. We talked about how we used to love to watch the birds gather, how we could look up and see their nests and how the trees were home to so many different animals - providing food and shelter. Along with squirrels, we’d seen opossums, rabbits, turkeys, and

of Trees raccoons through the years, and even fullantlered deer on occasion. But mostly birds of all kinds that provided such a variety of colors and birdsong through the seasons. We have a picture of the tree that was directly behind our house taken last fall. It shows an explosion of bright orange leaves painted against a brilliant blue sky. In summer it provided welcome shade in our backyard. In winter it was still hauntingly beautiful in its stark nakedness - its huge trunk gnarled with the wisdom of the ages, its long arms reaching skyward. In any season, always in motion, answering to the wind. Our neighbors all said, had they been home, that they would have tried to prevent the all-out slaughter. They would have directed the tree company towards the lone dead tree that truly did need to come down and they would have argued against the rest. Had I been there, I would have channeled my inner Henry David Thoreau and perhaps would have hugged my tree and stood my ground. I’ve never been much of a crusader or protester, but I think I would have tried to save my tree. Every time I look out and see the stumps that are all that is left of the woods, it makes me realize how I took those trees, and espe-
cially the one that watched over our backyard, for granted. Perhaps that is one of the big lessons of this Covid year. Everything we took for granted was taken away, and we truly didn’t realize what we loved and appreciated until we lost it. When I look at the tree stumps I will remember and I will remind myself to embrace each moment and to appreciate the blessings around me in a conscious way - I will notice. I will remain awake and aware of the wonder of it all. And as Covid recedes and we can meet in person and socialize and smile at each other without masks - when we can hug again without fear - I will embrace it all with deep gratitude - knowing that nothing is certain or forever. I like to think that the ancient wisdom of the trees survived and opened my eyes and heart to appreciating all things while I have them, and not only after they’re gone, when I’m missing them. I thank the trees for their presence all these years, and for the lessons they’ve imparted in their passing.

SERVICE DIRECTORY and
YOUR TAXES by M E G C H E VA L I E R
Expanded tax benefits help individuals give to charity during 2021 The Internal Revenue Service explained how expanded tax benefits can help both individuals and businesses give to charity before the end of this year. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, enacted last December, provides several provisions to help individuals and businesses who give to charity. The new law generally extends through the end of 2021 four temporary tax changes originally enacted by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Here is a rundown of these changes. Deduction for individuals who don’t itemize; cash donations up to $600 qualify Ordinarily, individuals who elect to take the standard deduction cannot claim a deduction for their charitable contributions. The law now permits these individuals to claim a limited deduction on their 2021 federal income tax returns for cash contributions made to certain qualifying charitable organizations. Nearly nine in 10 taxpayers now take the standard deduction and could potentially qualify to claim a limited deduction for cash contributions. These individuals, including married individuals filing separate returns, can claim a deduction of up to $300 for cash contributions made to qualifying charities during 2021. The maximum deduction is increased to $600 for married individuals filing joint returns. Cash contributions to most charitable organizations qualify. However, cash contributions made either to supporting organizations or to establish or maintain a donor advised fund do not qualify. Cash contributions carried forward from prior years do not qualify, nor do cash contributions to most private foundations and most cash contributions to charitable remainder trusts. In general, a donor-advised fund is a fund or account maintained by a charity in which a donor can, because of being a donor, advise the fund on how to distribute or invest amounts contributed by the donor and held in the fund. A supporting organization is a charity that carries out its exempt purposes by supporting other exempt organizations, usually other public charities. See Publication 526 for more information on the types of organizations that qualify. Cash contributions include those made by check, credit card or debit card as well as amounts incurred by an individual for unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the individual’s volunteer services to a qualifying charitable organization. Cash contributions don’t include the value of volunteer services, securities, household items or other property. 100% limit on eligible cash contributions made by itemizers in 2021 Subject to certain limits, individuals who itemize may generally claim a deduction for charitable contributions made to qualifying charitable organizations. These limits typically range from 20% to 60% of adjusted gross income (AGI) and vary by the type of contribution and type of charitable organization. For example, a cash contribution made by an individual to a qualifying public charity is generally limited to 60% of the individual’s AGI. Excess contributions may be carried forward for up to five tax years. The law now permits electing individuals to apply an increased limit (“Increased Individual Limit”), up to 100% of their AGI, for qualified contributions made during calendar-year 2021. Qualified contributions are contributions made in cash to qualifying charitable organizations. As with the new limited deduction for nonitemizers, cash contributions to most charitable organizations qualify, but cash contributions made either to supporting organizations or to establish or maintain a donor advised fund, do not. Nor do cash contributions to private foundations and most cash contributions to charitable remainder trusts Unless an individual makes the election for any given qualified cash contribution, the usual percentage limit applies. Keep in mind that an individual’s other allowed charitable contribution deductions reduce the maximum amount allowed under this election. Eligible individuals must make their elections with their 2021 Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR. Keep good records The IRS reminds individuals and businesses that special recordkeeping rules apply to any taxpayer claiming a charitable contribution deduction. Usually, this includes obtaining an acknowledgment letter from the charity before filing a return and retaining a cancelled check or credit card receipt for contributions of cash. For donations of property, additional recordkeeping rules apply, and may include filing a Form 8283 and obtaining a qualified appraisal in some instances. The IRS also encourages employers to help get the word out about the advanced payments of the Child Tax Credit because they have direct access to many employees and individuals who receive this credit. More information on the Advanced Child Tax Credit is available on IRS.gov. For more information about other Coronavirus-related tax relief, visit IRS.gov/Coronavirus.

Committing to a daily wellness routine may include many components from eating healthy and exercising to meditating and achieving quality sleep. For some, the most difficult of these goals is changing eating habits to consume more nutritious foods. However, rethinking the way you eat (and drink) doesn’t have to mean a colossal shift in your diet. According to Healthline, clean eating and the addition of a small amount of apple cider vinegar to your daily routine can help support healthy digestion, weight range maintenance, healthy glucose levels and a functioning immune system. In fact, some experts recommend consuming 1 ounce of apple cider vinegar each day as a shot or part of a recipe. Consider an apple cider vinegar option from Marukan, which has brewed premium vinegars for 370 years, to create dishes from breakfast to dinner. Start your day by enjoying this Blueberry Apple Cider Vinegar Smoothie that takes just 5
minutes to make so it doesn’t throw off your morning routine. A quick, nutritious and easy weeknight dinner is what many families strive for, and you can accomplish that feat with Apple Cider Vinegar Beef and Broccoli. Cooked broccoli florets and beef strips are combined with an apple cider vinegar and ponzu soy dressing-based sauce and served over cooked rice for a 20-minute meal your loved ones can savor together while simultaneously enhancing your nutrition. These recipes can help you participate in the Marukan Apple Cider Vinegar 24-Day Challenge, which encourages entrants to consume 1 ounce of apple cider vinegar each day and share the benefits they experience while creating daily wellness habits on their journeys to healthier routines. Find more information about participating in the challenge along with nutritious recipes at MarukanACV.com.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) This is a good week to get advice on your plans. But don’t act on them until you feel sure that you’ve been told everything you need to know to support your move. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Be careful. You might be probing just a little too deeply into a situation that you find singularly suspicious. The facts you seek will begin to emerge at a later time. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) This is a good week to make new friends and to look for new career challenges. But first, get all those unfinished tasks wrapped up and out of the way. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Relationships need a fresh infusion of tender, loving care. Avoid potential problems down the line. Stay close to loved ones as the month draws to a close. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Aspects favor relationships, whether platonic, professional or personal. On another note: Be a mite more thrifty. You might need some extra money very soon. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) This is the absolute right time to let those often-hidden talents shine their brightest. You’ll impress some very important people with what you can do.

HOLLYWOOD — “Kevin Bacon Goes Gay,” the headline read, but of course it was referring to him starring and co-producing the (as yet untitled) LGBTQIA empowerment film set in a gay conversion camp, with Theo Germaine. It’s also a horror film, which Bacon’s done before in “Friday the 13th” (1980) and a slew of “Tremors” films starting in 1990. He’s kept himself busy doing Showtime’s “City on a Hill” (renewed for season three), co-producing and starring in “You Should Have Left,” with Amanda Seyfried, which went straight to streaming and was very successful. He’s completed the action thriller “One Way,” with Travis Fimmell and Colson Baker (aka Machine Gun Kelly), and is filming “Toxic Avenger,” starring Peter Dinklage, Elijah Wood and Jacob Tremblay, about an “everyman” pushed into a vat of toxic waste who becomes a mutant superhero. Bacon is currently taking direction from his wife, “Closer” star Kyra Sedgewick, making her directorial debut with “Space Oddity,” also starring “Big Bang Theory’s” Simon Helberg. Helberg hit Amazon’s streaming platform in August with the musical psychological drama “Annette,” starring Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard. He’s currently getting direction from his former “Big Bang Theory” co-star Mayim Bialik in “As Sick as They Made Us,” co-starring Dustin Hoffman and Candice Bergen. *** George Clooney has produced and directed “The Tender Bar,” a comingof-age tale about a boy who bonds with the patrons at his uncle’s bar. It stars Clooney’s buddy Ben Affleck as the uncle to Tye Sheridan (of “X-Men” fame), with Christopher Lloyd and Lily Rabe rounding out the cast. It will have a short theatrical release on Dec. 17 before hitting Amazon’s platform on Jan. 7.
1. Name the group who released a debut album titled “Children of the Future.” 2. What was the real name of Iron Butterfly’s song “In-A-Gadda-DaVida”? 3. What is Styx’s “Renegade” about? 4. Dead or Alive had to fund recording of one of their songs because the record company hated it. What was it? 5. Name the song that contains this lyric: “See the way he walks down the street, Watch the way he shuffles his feet.” Answers 1. The Steve Miller band, in 1968. The album didn’t do well, topping out at No. 134. The next one, “Sailor,” did better, however, reaching No. 24. 2. “In the Garden of Eden.” It was written wrong by someone who was taking down the lyrics. The 1968 song was over 17 minutes long. 3. “Renegade” is a message from an outlaw to his mother saying he’d been caught. 4. “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record),” in 1984. The song went to No. 1. 5. “He’s A Rebel,” allegedly by The Crystals in 1962, but actually recorded by The Blossoms because The Crystals weren’t available. In his rush to get the song out, producer Phil Spector hired The Blossoms, but credited The Crystals (one of his own acts). © 2021 King Features Syndicate

Kevin Bacon in “You Should Have Left”
We lost Jane Powell, one of the last great MGM musical stars who toplined “Royal Wedding (1951), with Fred Astaire (remember he danced on the ceiling in that one), and “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” (1954) with Howard Keel and some of the greatest dancing in movies. She worked with Romo Vincent in “Luxury Liner” (1948), and when she came to visit his widow (who lived next door to me) and learned she didn’t have a VCR to play his movies on, she came back the next day, unannounced, with a VCR and a new TV. That was the kind of lady she was. We lost her on Sept. 16 at 92 years young. *** A last word on Kevin Bacon. Maybe you heard of the game “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon”? Well, “Ben & Jerry’s Clash of the Cones” (Food Network) has taken it one degree further with Kevin as himself in the episode “Six Flavors of Kevin Bacon.” How’s that for a scoop?! © 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.
