ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A misunderstanding tests the temperament of the sometimes headstrong Aries. But instead of blowing your top, take time for a pleasant diversion while things cool down. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A workplace problem could make the divine Bovine see red. But talk it out before you consider walking out. Some surprising facts emerge that change your earlier focus. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You face a choice between ignoring your uneasy feelings about your relationship with that special person and demanding explanations. A close friend offers wise counsel. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A change you’d been hoping for carries an unexpected complication. Stay the course, and things will work themselves out. Be sure to make time for family and friends. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Aspects favor spending time with loved ones. On the job, new ideas are generally welcomed. But some demands for changes could cause problems. Be ready to defend your choices. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Good news: That workplace problem is close to being resolved with results that should please everyone. Take time off to indulge your love of fun and games. LIBRA (September 23 to October

BLESSED VIRGIN

(Never known to fail). O Most Beautiful Flower of Mt. Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. O Star of the sea, help me and show me here in, you are my mother. O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in my necessity (make request). There are none that can withstand your power. O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3 times.) Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands (3 times). Say this prayer for three consecutive days. You must publish it and it will be granted to you. Grateful Thanks. J.M.

22) Most of the time, you are the most unflappable person around. But be ready to be thrown off-balance in the nicest way when Cupid takes aim in your direction. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) It’s not often when someone tries to “sting” the sharp-witted Scorpion. But it can happen. Continue to be skeptical about anything that seems too good to be true. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your strong sense of self-esteem helps you serve as a role model for someone who needs personal reassurances. Your efforts pay off in an unexpected way. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Someone close considers revealing a painful secret. Withhold any judgment. Instead, open your generous heart and offer dollops of your love and understanding. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your talents as a peacemaker are called upon once more, as an old problem re-emerges with new complications. Move cautiously in order to avoid falling into hidden traps. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) The artistic side of yourself is enhanced with the reception given to your new project. Use this success as encouragement toward fulfilling your larger goals. BORN THIS WEEK: Your natural sense of leadership is combined with a deep sense of responsibility. People trust you to give them both guidance and understanding. © 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

Then tape the bottom so that all the pleats are held together. Next, feed the skirt into a leg of pantyhose with the foot cut off. You end up with a nice tube, which you can tuck into the sides of your luggage. • When traveling for more than a few days, stick your plants into the bathtub with a little bit of water. They soak it up, and you don’t have to have someone come over and water your plants. This will only work for a week or less, though. — John McF. of Baton Rouge, Louisiana • I keep grocery lists on my computer.

“Go to the Moon” Word Fun Travel Game Kristina Zajic, speech pathologist and mom of eight-year-old Aisha and 10-year-old Elizabeth, loves bins. She has sand-toy bins, Barbie bins, ball bins, pretend-toy bins, office-supply bins and even nail-polish bins. “When I walk into Target and see a new color, I’m inspired to have the fresh look for the season,” she said. “That’s why I snapped up two bright travel-size bins for my daughters before our threehour car trip to stay in their grandparents’ fifth-wheel RV at a campsite in the Redwoods.” For no-tech car-trip entertainment, she filled the bins with new sunglasses, treats and plenty of challenging card games, activity books and art supplies. “My oldest daughter does get carsick,” she confessed. “That’s when the girls put reading and card games on hold for a while, and we play brain games together. The miles and twisty curves fly by.” Here’s a word game that’s fun for kids and adults to play together in the car, or however you travel this summer. My daughter taught it to us on a winter car trip. “Go to the Moon” got us through snowstorms, slippery mountain roads and being asked one too many times, “Are we there yet?” The person who is “it” thinks of three

things that have something in common, such as a mango, pineapple and papaya (all tropical fruits). “It” then says to the other players, “I’m going to the moon and taking along a mango, a pineapple and a papaya. Who wants to come with me?” Given the clues, the first player tries to figure out what the items have in common, then names a fourth item that fits the category, such as “banana.” Another, more complex example might be, “I’m going to the moon and taking along the Twins, the White Sox and the Tigers” (all professional baseball teams). A fourth item that would fit could be the Royals. If the item fits, “it” responds, “You may come with me.” The next player names an item. If the player names an item that doesn’t fit, he or she may try

Two sisters enjoy no-tech travel games on a camping vacation. again on the next turn. When everyone finally learns the common element, the round is over. Topics can be as simple or as complicated as you choose. Try to accommodate even the youngest in the family when playing. *** Find more family fun at www.donnaerickson.com.

Perms have a terrible reputation outside of the beauty world. Whether you grew up receiving permanent waves or have seen photos of your mom’s failed athome perms from the 1980s, there’s a strong chance you associate perms with frizzy, unmanageable ringlets. I can’t say I blame you! However, times have changed, perms have evolved, and today’s perm is far different than those perms you cringe at every time you remember them. If you have fine hair, you know what a challenge it can be

to style. Because your hair lacks body and volume, it will not hold a style, making it appear thin, stringy, flat, and limp. The good news is that due to improved technology, a perm with our perm specialist Deb might be the answer you’ve been waiting for! Deb has been a hairdresser since she was 19 years old, and perms have always been her specialty! If you have limp, fine, thin hair that seems to have no life to it. A soft, more modern approach to the permanent wave might be the solution

you’ve been searching for to add volume and movement to your hair. Deb offers permanents that can create texture and volume for even the most lifeless hair that is flat, limp hair and won’t hold any volume. The best part is that they don’t require much upkeep. When cared for properly, these perms will last about six months. Post covid hair loss has become something many have unfortunately experienced and struggled with. Deb has used her years of experience with perms and modern perm technology to help many women who have struggled with hair issues post covid regain their confidence and transform their thinned lifeless hair with a special volumizing perm. Deb doesn’t use these specific perms to add

curl for the client but hair they have experiinstead fullness and enced. volume to help camDeb is availouflage the loss of able for appoint-

Italian Garden Skillet Saute If ever there were two shining stars of the summer garden, they would most certainly be homegrown tomatoes and sweet corn! Can you even begin to imagine an August garden or a farmers market without juicy, “vine-ripened” tomatoes or “just picked from the field” corn? Enjoy! 1/2 cup chopped onion 1/4 cup fat-free Italian dressing 2 cups fresh or frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed 1½ cups chopped fresh tomatoes 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 1/8 teaspoon black pepper 3/4 cup shredded reducedfat mozzarella cheese 1. In a large skillet, saute onion over medium heat in Italian dressing for about 5 minutes or just until tender. Add corn. Mix well to combine. Continue cooking for 5 minutes or until corn is tender, stirring often. 2. Stir in tomatoes, parsley and black pepper. Lower heat, cover and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. 3. When serving, place hot corn mixture on a plate and sprinkle 3 tablespoons mozzarella cheese over top. Serve at once.

Summer Heat Can be Deadly to Pets DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Yesterday, our beloved corgi mix, Shemp, was laid to rest. I feel so guilty. He passed from heatstroke after being out in the backyard for just one hour. I never realized that just the heat outdoors could be deadly to dogs. I always was conscientious about dangerous situations; I never once left Shemp in a hot car or walked him on hot sidewalks. Yet a few minutes of inattention, and my Shemp was suddenly in great distress. I rushed him to the veterinarian, but he just didn’t make it. Please warn your readers to keep their dogs inside on hot days and to monitor them closely for signs of heat stress. — Devastated in Houston DEAR DEVASTATED: I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Shemp. Thank you for warning other readers of the dangers of summer heat. Being outdoors during the extreme temperatures that we’ve experienced this summer, often passing 100 degrees in many states, is dangerous for dogs and other pets. Here are a few ways to keep them safe from heat injury. — Walk dogs before sunrise and after sunset. Under a hot sun, sidewalks can quickly burn a dog’s paws, and heat and humidity can take a toll on their health. — Do not leave pets outside unsupervised. Even if they’re just in the backyard, you might not notice their distress until it’s too late. — Provide a shelter from the sun. A shelter with open sides and a solid top allows airflow and protects from the sun when your dog is outside. — Make water available all day, everywhere. Carry water on walks, keep their indoor bowl full and provide a water bowl outside. Send your tips, comments or questions to ask@pawscorner.com. © 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

Hobbies are enjoyable and often educational ways to spend free time. Over the last year-plus, hobbies have become even more important as people were forced to stay home due to the pandemic. As hobbies became a bigger part of millions of people’s lives, many might have wondered about transforming these activities from pastimes into full-fledged careers. Hobbies can be side hustles or even primary jobs, but a successful transition from hobby to income-generating profession requires some research and planning. Conduct market research A hobby may be fun to you and provide value, but is it a marketable venture? Determine if the hobby has potential as a business. Factors to look for include whether the hobby helps solve a problem, educates the public or produces a product someone would want to purchase, advises the career-building site Indeed. Research competitors in the area and study industry trends to analyze how well this business may perform. Look to an unbiased advisor to provide feedback on your idea. Make a business plan A business plan is essential for businesses big and small. A plan puts your ideas on paper and dictates how you will achieve goals and run the business. A business plan will include how you will finance start-up costs, whether you will be taking on investors, how many employees you will hire, costs like membership fees for enrollment in professional associations, advertising outlets, and much more.

Individuals with a passion for photography could turn their hobby into a rewarding career.

Get social Look to social media as an easy way to make connections with people who operate similar businesses or can help you with your venture. The business site The Balance: Careers notes that platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest can be great places to meet others in the industry and pick their proverbial brains. Start small Test the waters by holding on to a current job while simultaneously seeing if your new venture can gain momentum and earn you money. A test run will help you understand if you have the finances to keep a business afloat and what kind of time commitment will go into the venture. If the hobby-turned-business appears solid, speak with a financial planner or business consultant to firm up the details of getting this new business off the ground.

“The Gray Man” (PG-13) — A new film has arrived from the Russo Brothers, who were the directors of four films within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This action movie stars Ryan Gosling as Sierra Six — a black ops mercenary who has uncovered dangerous secrets within the CIA. Because of this, the CIA Group Chief sends spies to assassinate him, with one of Six’s former colleagues, the bloodthirsty Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans), spearheading the mission, and Six is forced to go on the run. Ana de Armas, Rege-Jean Page (“Bridgerton”) and Billy Bob Thornton are just some of the stars you might recognize along the way. (Netflix) “Topside” (NR) — In this heartwrenching drama film, a mother named Nikki (Celine Held) raises her 5-year-old daughter, Little (Zhaila Farmer), in the subway tunnels of New York City. Nikki, who’s an addict, realizes Little deserves a better life, but when the authorities arrive in the tunnels to take Little, Nikki refuses to give her up. Instead, she takes Little to the “topside” (what Little calls the world outside of her very small one in the tunnels). Their options run out quickly, and by accident, Little gets separated from her mother, leaving them both lost in the topside without each other. (Hulu) “Honor Society” (NR) — Honor (Angourie Rice) has had her future planned out since freshman year of high school. With one college in mind — the top college in the world — Honor has been brown-nosing her guidance counselor, Mr. Calvin, ever since she found out that he has connections

with the college’s admissions staff. Mr. Calvin tells Honor that she is just one of four students that he’s thinking of recommending, but only one out of the three students, Michael (Gaten Matarazzo), poses a true threat. So, Honor makes it her mission to get Michael to fall for her and, in the process, tank his grades. Thinking it unlikely that an overachiever such as herself would fail, Honor might finally find herself without all the answers and unravel her dreams for someone unexpected. Out on streaming July 29. (Paramount+)

Gaten Matarazzo and Angourie Rice in “Honor Society” “Black Bird” (TV-MA) — Drug dealer Jimmy Keene (Taron Egerton) thinks his luck has run out when he receives a 10-year prison sentence. The FBI, however, decides to offer Jimmy his freedom for a simple tradeoff: Go undercover in a maximum-security prison specializing in the criminally insane and befriend a suspected serial killer. The suspect’s conviction is in the process of getting appealed, and the FBI refuses to let the suspect walk away from his alleged crimes that caused the deaths of more than a dozen women. If Jimmy can properly infiltrate this killer’s mind and pull a confession out of him, he can walk out free ... but only if. The first four episodes of this limited series are out now. This is also the late Ray Liotta’s last TV project. (Apple TV+) © 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

Individuals work hard to save enough money to purchase their homes. And the hard work doesn’t end there. Once homeowners settle into a new home, they may set their sights on renovations that suit their individual needs. And even when buyers find a home that needs no such work, maintenance requires homeowners’ utmost attention. All that hard work is perhaps one reason why seniors may be a little reluctant to downsize as they advance through their golden years. In addition to the sweat equity homeowners put into their homes, all the memories they’ve made within their walls can make it harder to put a home on the market. Downsizing is a difficult decision that’s unique to each homeowner. Seniors who aren’t quite certain if downsizing is right for them can consider three key factors to make a decision that’s in their best interests. • Cost: Perhaps no variable affects senior homeowners’ decisions to downsize their homes as much as cost. No one wants to outlive their money, and downsizing to a smaller home can help seniors reduce their monthly expenses by a significant margin. Even homeowners who have long since paid off their mortgages can save substantial amounts of money by downsizing to a smaller home or even an apartment or condominium. Lower property taxes, reduced insurance premiums and the need to pay for fewer repairs are just some of the ways downsizing can

save seniors money.

• Space: Many people love the extra space that single-family homes provide. But seniors can take a walk through their homes and see how many rooms they still use on a consistent basis. If much of the home is unused, seniors can probably downsize without adversely affecting their daily lives.

• Market: The real estate market is another factor to consider when deciding if the time is right to downsize. A seller’s market can help seniors get the biggest return on their real estate investment, potentially helping them make up for meager retirement savings. For example, home prices skyrocketed across the country during the COVID-19 pandemic, making that a great time for sellers to put their homes on the market. Seniors selling to downsize may capitalize on such spikes since they won’t be looking to turn around and buy larger, equally expensive homes once they sell their current place. If the market is down and seniors can withstand the work and cost a little longer, it may be best to wait until things bounce back in sellers’ favor. Downsizing requires careful consideration of a host of variables. No two situations are the same, so seniors should exercise due diligence to determine if downsizing is right for them.

Bundling Support and Self-Care for Expectant Parents: A PATH TO WELLNESS Staying Healthy by ELISABETH HOWARD, Ph.D, CNM, FACNM ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY, CLINICIAN EDUCATOR DIRECTOR, MIDWIFERY WOMEN AND INFANTS HOSPITAL DEPARTMENT OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY WARREN ALPERT MEDICAL SCHOOL BROWN UNIVERSITY

The path to parenthood is filled with uncertainty and joy. It is a time of remarkable growth and transformation. A positive transition to parenting is fostered with capacity and confidence building through education, support, and connection to needed services. A healthy journey requires a village of support. Building family confidence through connection and relationship building improves the experience and the outcomes of care. This is not just about finding the right provider or place to give birth. Wrap around family care involves a bundle of evidence-based resources that include providers, education, and supportive experiences. In healthcare, “bundles” are used to improve care and outcomes. They are a set of simple, clear, evidencebased practices, that when done together, strengthen care. During pregnancy, birth, and postpartum time, it is well known that the transition to being a parent is eased with preparation, education, support, and connection to community resources. Resources are inclusive of providers-physicians, midwives, lactation consultants, physical therapists, and

doulas, to name just a few. Bundled together, these resources create a village that strengthens care, builds confidence, and enhances the birth and postpartum experience. The importance of confidence cannot be underestimated. It includes an individual’s belief in their capacity to achieve goals. This involves the ability to navigate the health care system and to advocate for oneself. Ample research shows that confidence is associated with greater comfort in labor, less anxiety, and increased satisfaction with the birth experience. It is well known that the birth and postpartum experience affects confidence in parenting, breastfeeding, mental health, and future health experiences. Boosting individual confidence and preparation for birth and parenting improves outcomes. Bundling education, experience, and support are not one size fits all and are greatly affected by access. It is estimated that eighty percent of a person’s health is determined by the social and economic conditions of one’s home and community. Look to your provider, health facilities, and the community for needed resources. Auntbertha.com provides a free online tool (findhelp.org) to find food assistance, help to pay bills, and other free or reduced-cost programs, including new programs for the COVID-19 pandemic. Searching for programs on this website makes it simple and easy to connect with local resources. This model of care or “bundle” calls for the development of partnerships with individuals and entities that advocate on behalf of others. This can include family members community partners and perinatal support workers. Socializing the maternal health experience via connection, relationship

building, and self-care optimizes the experience and outcomes of care. Every family deserves equitable and positive outcomes. Every family has the capacity within them to improve their well-being. Start building or being the

Enamel Ware Enamel has been used to decorate metal since medieval times, creating elaborate designs on copper, silver and other metals. Enameled pieces for home use were rare before the 1800s. Around 1880, a few artists on the East Coast made plaques picturing nature to decorate a metal box or lid for a bowl. These pieces by artists like Gertrude Twitchel sell for thousands of dollars today. Enameled metal bowls and ashtrays were favored gifts. Modern jewelry, vases, desk sets and even large wall plaques were made in art schools. Colorful geometric designs, flower forms and imaginative modern creatures were favored. Artists signed the enamels on the front or back if selling through a shop, but many independent artists left their work unsigned. An 11-inch-diameter shallow bowl with a stylized picture of a rooster, fish and three round, thin-line designs on the front was signed “Karamu OH Hykes” on the back. It was unidentified when first offered for sale, but a Cleveland collector realized it was made by Sterling Vance Hykes (1917-1974), a talented artist who taught at Karamu, a Cleveland settlement house. His work sells for several thousand dollars today. Unidentified, it would probably bring about $400 or so because of the talent it showed. *** When I unpacked some Johnson Brothers Old Staffordshire dishes after two years of no use, there was a brownish powder coming from the dinner plates. Are they safe to use? Would they have lead glaze? The plates were in my family from the 1950s. The brownish powder may have come from the packing materials or the cardboard box the dishes were packed in. Some antique porcelain was decorated with lead glaze. If the glaze is cracked or chipped, the lead can leach out. It’s best not to eat acidic food on old china, and do not store food in it. The Food and Drug Administration set regulations on the amount of lead in glazes on ceramic dishes used for food in 1971. The standards have been revised since

We’re really enjoying the Navy SEALs drama “The Terminal List” with Chris Pratt. Hasn’t he played a SEAL before? Also, who plays his wife in the series? — D.E. Chris Pratt is one of America’s busiest actors. He’s starred in the hit Marvel “Guardians of the Galaxy” films as well as in the “Jurassic Park/World” franchise, but one of his favorite genres has to be military action stories. He first played a Navy SEAL in the 2013 movie “Zero Dark Thirty,” which was based on the killing of Osama Bin Laden. According to “Military Times,” for the role, Pratt “shadowed Jared Shaw, a real Navy SEAL, whom he now counts as one of his ‘very best’ friends” — and who also was a groomsman in Pratt’s wedding to Katherine Schwarzenegger. The Amazon series “The Terminal List” is based on a series of books by Jack Carr. Pratt plays a Navy SEAL named James Reece “whose platoon is ambushed in a covert operation.” Upon returning home, Reece begins to doubt his recollection of the tragic event. Authenticity is important to Pratt. According to “Military Times,” he “enlisted former special ops as technical advisors for the show,” including his pal Shaw. Riley Keough plays Lauren Reece, the supportive wife of Jack. She’s been acting for more than a decade, but is probably best known as Elvis Presley’s granddaughter. Her parents are Lisa Marie Presley and Danny Keough. For more Hollywood royalty on the show, keep an eye out for Pratt’s brother-in-law Patrick Schwarzenegger, who plays Donny Mitchell in the series. Patrick is the son of action star Arnold Schwarzenegger and Kennedy family descendent Maria Shriver. *** Is the actor who plays Officer Leaphorn in the AMC drama “Dark Winds” the same actor who played another police officer in “Longmire”? That was one of my favorite shows. — W.M. Good eye! Yes, that’s actor Zahn McClarnon starring in the new AMC detective series “Dark Winds.” He played the chief of police of the Cheyenne Reservation on the A&E series

Riley Keough “Longmire” and later went on to play Akecheta on the HBO series “Westworld,” before landing a starring role on “Dark Winds.” In 2017, the actor suffered a fall in his home, incurring a head injury devastating enough to land him in the ICU. Fortunately, he recovered, and his career continues to flourish. “Dark Winds” is co-produced by Robert Redford and based on a series of books by Tony Hillerman. It’s about two Navajo tribal police officers in the 1970s, played by McClarnon and Kiowa Gordon (“Roswell, New Mexico”). *** When is “La Brea” coming back? I’m sure it was renewed since it was a big hit, but when can we look forward to new episodes? — G.G. Season two of the breakout hit NBC series “La Brea” premieres Sept. 27 at 9 p.m ET. It stars Natalie Zea (“Justified”) as a mother who is thrust back in time to 10,000 B.C. after a sinkhole opens up in Los Angeles. According to TVLine.com, joining the cast is Jonno Roberts (“Wrecked”) as a “brilliant scientist and businessman who just might be trying to save the world.” Send me your questions at NewCelebrityExtra@gmail.com, or write me at KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

• On Aug. 10, 1776, news reaches London that the Americans had drafted the Declaration of Independence. Until the Declaration of Independence formally transformed the 13 British colonies into states, the conflict centered in Massachusetts was seen as a local uprising. • On Aug. 13, 1781, Patriot forces led by Col. William Harden and Brig. Gen. Francis Marion, known as the “Swamp Fox,” lure British commander Maj. Thomas Fraser and his 450 soldiers into an ambush at Parker’s Ferry, near Charleston, South Carolina. Marion had earned his nickname for his ability to “outfox” his opponents in the swamps of the South Carolina backcountry. • On Aug. 9, 1936, at the Berlin Olympics, African American track star Jesse Owens wins his fourth gold medal of the Games in the 4 x 100 meter relay. His relay team set a new world record of 39.8 seconds, which held for 20 years. • On Aug 8, 1945, President Harry S. Truman signs the United Nations Charter, and the United States becomes the first nation to complete the ratification process and join the new international organization. Although hopes were high at the time that the United Nations would serve as an arbiter of international disputes, Truman did not even use one of the ceremonial pens to sign, instead opting for a cheap 10-cent desk pen. • On Aug. 12, 1953, less than one year after the United States tested its first hydrogen bomb, the Soviets detonate a 400-kiloton device in Kazakhstan. Known as the “Layer Cake,” the bomb was fueled by layers of uranium and lithium deuteride, a hydrogen isotope. • On Aug. 11, 1973, “American Graffiti,” a nostalgic coming-of-age tale steeped in the car-centric culture of suburban California, is released in theaters. The movie went on to become a sleeper hit. • On Aug. 14, 1985, Michael Jackson takes control of the publishing rights to the vast majority of the Beatles’ catalog for $47 million, outbidding Paul McCartney himself. In the years afterward, the catalog was estimated to be worth in excess of $1 billion.

What to plant when privacy is a priority A backyard oasis can feel like an even more welcoming retreat when the area is private. Homeowners and their families often find that a backyard is most relaxing when they cannot hear or see their neighbors, and creating such an environment can be as simple as planting some privacy trees. Fencing is an option when homeowners are looking to make their backyards more private. But HomeAdvisor reports that the average cost to install a privacy fence is just under $3,000, and those costs can be considerably higher depending on where homeowners live and how big a fence they need. Privacy trees can be considerably less expensive, and homeowners can spread out those costs by planting over time, an option that’s not possible when installing fencing. When planting privacy trees, homeowners can consider these varieties that can do the job while also providing some aesthetic appeal. • Emerald arborvitae: The Arbor Day Foundation® notes that the emerald arborvitae is unique among arborvitaes because it maintains its green color even in the coldest months of the year. The emerald arborvitae can grow to between 10- and 15-feet-tall and spread as wide as four feet at maturity. The tree features a pyramid shape and is considered slow-growing at less than 12 inches of growth per year. The ADF reports that full sun and partial shade are best for this tree. • Carolina cherry laurel: Carolina cherry laurels are popular choices for privacy seekers. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center notes the trees can grow very tall and boast a pyramidal shape. The Carolina cherry laurel require sun and thrive in moist, well-drained soils. Parents with young children should know that the leaves of this family of plant contain hydrocyanic acid and should never be eaten. • Boxwood: The ADF notes that boxwoods are renowned for their use in formal gardens. That can make them an ideal option for homeowners seeking a traditional garden aesthetic

in their backyards. Boxwood trees can grow up to 20 feet tall, but they can vary greatly in height. Homeowners purchasing them as privacy trees should speak with their local gardening center to ensure they’re getting boxwoods that will provide ample privacy. Though they still have aesthetic appeal, smaller boxwoods may only reach a foot tall. Boxwoods vary considerably in terms of their growth rate, so homeowners should inquire about this as well before purchasing and planting any trees. • Privet: Privets are dense privacy hedges that grow very quickly, with the ADF reporting they can grow up to three feet per year. Privets may reach 12 feet in height and spread as wide as six feet at maturity. Privets tolerate shearing well, which can make them ideal privacy options for those looking for a formal appearance. Privets require full sun for uniform growth. Privets are considered invasive in many areas of North America, so homeowners should consult their local garden center prior to planting. The right privacy trees can be just what homeowners need to turn their backyards into relaxing respites.

HOLLYWOOD — Has Reese Witherspoon met her match? She’ll co-star with Will Ferrell in a film so secretive that not only has the plot been kept secret, but the title as well! Witherspoon also got word her series “The Morning Show” has been renewed for season 3 and her rom-com “Your Place or Mine” opposite Ashton Kutcher is awaiting release. Meanwhile, in addition to “Barbie” (releasing July 2023), Will Ferrell has a Christmas musical “Spirited,” with Ryan Reynolds and Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer, in the works. *** Captain America meets Mary Poppins! Chris Evans (“Captain America” in 12 Marvel films) will star alongside Emily Blunt (of “Mary Poppins Returns” and “A Quiet Place” movies) in “Pain Hustlers” — a movie about a high-school dropout who lands a job with a failing pharmaceutical startup in Florida. Evans also can be seen on-screen July 15 in Netflix’s “The Gray Man,” with Ryan Gosling, and has the Apple TV+ rom-com “Ghosted,” with Ana de Armas and Adrien Brody, coming soon. Emily Blunt has “Oppenheimer” in theaters July 2023. *** Zoe Kravitz (Lenny’s little girl) will make her directing debut with MGM’s “Pussy Island.” She’s assembled a cast of seasoned pros, with Channing Tatum, Christian Slater, Geena Davis, Kyle MacLachlan, Simon Rex and Haley Joel Osment. It follows an LA cocktail waitress who sets her sights on Tatum’s character. Tatum’s “Lost City,” with Sandra Bullock, did really well, earning $191 million. *** Looks like Taron Egerton will pick up where Hugh Jackman left off with Wolverine.

Chris Evans in “The Gray Man” sman: The Secret Service” (2016) and “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” (2017). His six-part Apple TV+ series “Black Bird” dropped July 8. Funny that he should shadow Hugh Jackman, who was Wolverine and then became a music man in “The Music Man” on Broadway. *** At a party in the home of Larry Block, publisher of the online newspaper WEHOville, Ben Savage of “Boy Meets World” (1993-2000) announced his candidacy for the West Hollywood City Council. Just another actor going into politics? Not quite. Savage received a degree in political science from Stanford University and interned for U.S. Sen. Arlen Spector. At 41, he’s lived in West Hollywood for 10 years and wants to make it a better place to live. Maybe the only way we can change West Hollywood is to unleash a Savage onto it!
