• On Feb. 27, 1860, President Abraham Lincoln poses for the first of several portraits by noted Civil War-era photographer Mathew Brady. A relatively new art form, the photograph (or daguerreotype) showed a beardless Lincoln just moments before he delivered an address at Cooper Union.

• On Feb. 23, 1885, a 19-year-old man named John Lee is sent to the gallows in Exeter, England, for the murder of a rich, older woman. However, the gallows equipment malfunctioned three times and Lee was not dropped.

He was then sent back to prison.

• On Feb. 25, 1890, Vlacheslav Skryabin, foreign minister for the Soviet Union who took the revolutionary name Molotov, is born in Russia.

Molotov advocated the use of throwing bottles filled with flammable liquid and stuffed with a lit rag, and the famous “Molotov cocktail” was born.

• On Feb. 26, 1903, Alexander Winton, driving his Winton Bullet, sets the first speed record ever achieved at Daytona Beach, Florida. Built in 1902 the “Bullet Number 1” drove a measured mile at over 65 mph.

• On Feb. 22, 1946, George Kennan, the temporary American ambassador in Moscow, sends an 8,000-word telegram to the Department of State detailing his views on the Soviet Union, and U.S. policy toward the communist state. Kennan’s analysis provided one of the most influential underpinnings for America’s Cold War policy of containment.

• On Feb. 21, 1952, men’s figure skater Dick Button wins his second Olympic gold medal. Button captured his first gold prize at the 1948 Olympics, becoming the first American to ever take home the men’s title. Button retired from amateur skating in 1952 and went on to perform with the Ice Capades as well as graduate from Harvard Law School.

• On Feb. 24, 1969, after a North Vietnamese mortar shell rocks their Douglas AC-47 gunship, Airman First Class John L. Levitow throws himself on an activated flare and tosses it out of the aircraft just before it ignites. For saving his fellow crewmembers and the gunship, Airman Levitow was later awarded the Medal of Honor.

Training Your Cat May Save Its Life DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Is it possible to teach a cat to come when you call? I have a 2-year-old gray cat, Billy, who sometimes gets past my feet and runs out the door. I worry that he will get run over by a car or attacked by a coyote. He will look at me when I call, but that is it. — Kelly in Fort Myers, Florida DEAR KELLY: You can teach cats to respond to certain commands, and calling them is one of those commands. I know that Billy can learn to do it, because he clearly recognizes your voice. He just doesn’t see the value in returning to you right away.

So it’s important to help Billy “see” the value in returning when you call!

You do this through training that uses positive reinforcement — a favorite treat or food. Here’s how: • Come up with a noise that you can make just before Billy gets a treat or dinner. A whistle, a clucking noise, even a little song.

• Just before you open his can of food or treat bag, make that noise. Do it at every feeding and treat time.

• Set aside five minutes, twice a day, for reinforcement training.

• During training, make the noise, wait for Billy to respond, then give him a treat. Back up a couple of feet and repeat.

• Gradually increase the distance during each session until Billy comes running when you call.

Once Billy associates that specific noise with a reward, he’ll come back every time you call. Make sure to always reward him when he comes, even if it’s just lots of praise. He’ll be far less likely to stay out if he escapes, and you’ll have much greater peace of mind.

release date, Oct. 21, pushed back from Sept. 30. *** Boy, has Harry Potter come of age!

Daniel Radcliffe’s taken on some far-out roles, not the least of which is three seasons of “Miracle Workers,” which premiered in 2019 and has been renewed for a fourth season. Now he’ll play the title role in “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.” Weird Al had big hit comedy parodies of the Michael Jackson blockbuster “Beat It,” called “Eat It,” and Madonna’s show-stopping “Like a Virgin,” called “Like a Surgeon.” His string of hits made him the biggest-selling comedy recording artist of all time and won him five Grammy awards. They promise the film will feature tales of torrid celebrity love affairs and a famously depraved lifestyle.

We’ll next see Radcliffe in “The Lost City,” with Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum, premiering March 25.

• If your dog likes a treat of moistened dry food from time to time, use the water from cooking vegetables. It has a bit of flavor and some vitamins, too!

• “A tip for banana peels: Dry until crispy and break into small pieces. Put in blender and blend to powder. Store in an airtight container to sprinkle around base of houseplants before watering.

Orchids love them — it’s great free fertilizer.” — B.C. in New Hampshire • “Unmatched socks are handy-dandy cleaners and have so many uses.

Keep one by the dryer to get all the lint off the trap. Shake it out or pop it into the wash when needed.

• If you have lots of outdoor or feral cats in your area, here is some good advice, given to me by my grandmother: Start your car with a bang — on the hood, that is. When the overnight temperature dips, cats know to find someplace that is wind-shielded and off the ground, and sometimes that means they will climb up into your engine area to hunker down. If your car starts while they’re there, they can be hurt or even killed. Give the hood a good knock to let a cat know to get out quick. — JoAnn • “After you’ve cleaned out the gliders of your sliding-glass door, run over the parts with a little paraffin wax. It will protect the moving parts and quiet the door.” — P.J. in Oregon • If you have trouble threading a needle because the fibers seem to go in all directions, here’s a tip from T.I. in Illinois: Stiffen the end of thread with hairspray before threading a needle.

February 7, 2022

HOLLYWOOD — Picture movie executives are wondering what they can come up with to get people back into movie theaters. Well, desperate times demand desperate measures.

In order to get people back into seats in big-screen movie houses, producers and directors are now demanding their leading men bare all ... and we do mean ALL, including frontal nudity!

Bradley Cooper, age 47, agreed to do it for Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro for “Nightmare Alley.”

Cooper said, “In order to do it in a real way, it demanded I’d be naked ... full frontal and partially backside. I had to do that scene the first day Toni Collette worked.”

Cooper’s not alone in baring all.

Benedict Cumberbatch, 45, has a full-frontal scene in “The Power of the Dog,” for which he’ll probably be up for an Oscar, and 47-year-old Simon Rex did it for the comedy-drama “Red Rocket,” which cost $1 million and only grossed $1,024,049. But Alexander Skarsgard beat them all by doing full frontal in HBO’s “True Blood” in 2013 at 37 and again in HBO’s “Big Little Lies” in 2017 at 41. *** George Clooney and Julia Roberts have appeared in at least five films together — “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” (2001), “Ocean’s Eleven” (2001), “Ocean’s Twelve” (2004), “Ocean’s Thirteen” (2007) and “Money Monster” (2016) — and were trying to replicate their magic-making again in another film, “Ticket to Paradise.”

In it, they play divorced parents rushing to Bali to stop their teenage daughter from jumping into an unwise marriage, like they did.

They were shooting in Australia until the latest outbreak of COVID-19 forced the production to shut down, and they returned to the U.S to wait out the three months until it resumes.

Universal Pictures is optimistic that they’ll return Down Under in time to complete filming in time for the new

A favorite at Chinese restaurants across the country, egg drop soup is typically made with simply seasoned chicken or vegetable broth and filled with delicious silky ribbons of egg, which are created by whisking raw eggs into simmering broth. The direct translation in Chinese is "egg flower soup," because the egg creates large and small swirls in the soup in a flowerlike pattern.

Need a great reason to make this soup? February 1, 2022, welcomed the Chinese New Year! What better way to celebrate the beginning of The Year of the Tiger than by enjoying a delectable bowl of egg drop soup? Besides, between the chilly winter weather and cold and flu season, everyone needs an easy, affordable, healthy and comforting soup this time of year. You'll be thrilled to see how easy this is to prepare. It cooks in a mere 10 minutes, significantly faster than making chicken noodle soup. In fact, this soup might become your new staple recipe for soothing the sniffles.

The name "egg drop" comes from how the soup is made, but it has another fun meaning for me. When my kids were young, I would organize parties involving the classic "egg drop" science experiment. The kids were asked to construct some type of container that will keep a raw egg

Slowly stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering stock before adding the eggs. Proceed with the rest of the recipe as written.

Fun ways for children to participate in St. Patrick’s Day celebrations Attend a parade Parades are a common sight come St. Patrick’s Day, and they’re ideal activities for children. If your town or city is hosting a St. Patrick’s Day parade this year, make plans to attend with the children. Follow safety precautions, including remaining socially distant, when necessary, and watch the floats, pipers, colorfully clad characters, and other participants go by.

Serve child-friendly beverages For those hosting St. Patrick’s Day at home, be sure to have a variety of foods and beverages on hand, particularly ones that children can enjoy. Whip up your own concoction like a Leprechaun Punch that features lemon-lime soda, green food coloring and lime sherbet.

St. Patrick’s Day commemorates its namesake, the patron saint of Ireland who helped spread Christianity across this island nation. While it may have begun as a religious holiday, eventually the fanfare expanded to transform St. Patrick’s Day into a secular celebration spanning the world — reaching Irish diaspora in various countries. In fact, some of the largest St. Patrick’s Day events occur outside of Ireland.

In addition to paying homage to St. Patrick, the holiday is largely known for being one big party catering to the over-21 crowd. It’s common to find people raising pints throughout the day on St. Patrick’s Day. However, for those who want children to be a part of the festivities, there are plenty of entertaining ways to incorporate them into any celebration.

Learn St. Patrick’s history Children may not realize that St. Patrick, even though he is the patron saint of Ireland, actually was born in Britain, according to National Geographic Kids. Also, he wasn’t always associated with the color green; he was first depicted wearing blue robes. These are just some of the facts adults and children can explore together.

Collect clovers St. Patrick used a three-leaf clover, or shamrock, to explain the basic tenets of Christianity. The three-leaf clover represented the Holy Trinity. If St. Patrick’s Day falls on a nice day, everyone can venture outside to collect shamrocks and hunt for the elusive four-leaf clover, which may bring good luck.

Get dressed up Children can have fun dressing up in all sorts of apparel. While green shirts are par for the course, kids also can don rugby or soccer shirts from their favorite Irish teams. Authentic Irish Aran wool sweaters and cardigans, or other traditional clothing, also can be worn. Kids may have fun making masks or hats they can wear as well.

St. Patrick’s Day is a fun time for people of all ages. The holiday can be made kid-friendly in a variety of ways.

O’septic

May the sun always shine on your shoulder, And your toilet never runneth over.

1. Traditional Homes with a traditional interior style give a formal yet welcoming feel. Many individuals associate crown molding and wainscotting with traditional interiors, so that’s something homeowners aiming for this style should keep in mind. Minimal or modern furniture pieces don’t fit with the traditional style, which tends to utilize period pieces made from real wood.

2. Modern Modern interiors may differ depending on which style of modern homeowners are aiming for. Midcentury modern typically features

unique furnishings that some might see as retro. However, many companies now offer updated takes on midcentury modern that call to mind a bygone era but don’t make individuals feel as though they’re living in a museum. Urban modern is another popular modern style, and home interiors fashioned in this style tend to be light, airy and not crowded with furnishings. Calm, soft tones are a go-to with urban modern interiors, helping to create the serene settings many homeowners are hoping to create with this style.

3. Farmhouse Farmhouse has become very popular in recent years. In fact, a recent survey from the interior design service Modsy found that farmhouse was the most popular design style in 26 states. Farmhouse is beloved for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is its association with a simpler lifestyle. The rustic charm of the countryside is never far from the mind when in a home with a farmhouse-inspired interior. Traditional farmhouse and modern farmhouse are different styles, but natural materials and bright colors, particularly white walls, are elements shared by both.

Traditional, modern and farmhouse are three popular home interior styles. Each has its own unique components, and homeowners can supplement their favored style as they see fit.

King Features Weekly Service

George Washington has had at least three official birthdays. He was born Feb. 11, 1731. But that was according to the Julian calendar used at the time.

When the Gregorian calendar was adopted, his birthday was recorded as Feb. 22, 1732. (Read about how the calendar was changed if you’ve never learned this.)

President Chester Arthur renamed Washington’s official birthday as Presidents Day in 1885. Then in 1968, the Unified Monday Holiday Act was passed and became law in 1971. The act moved certain public holidays to Mondays to create three-day weekends, and the third Monday in February became the day for Washington’s celebration (and an extra day off work). In 2022, Washington’s birthday is observed on Feb. 21.

Glass Works Auctions sold the amber “Simon’s Centennial Bitters, Trade Mark” bottle at their auction for $2,640. It is shaped like the bust of President Washington, with the product name embossed on the front below a large, round label panel. *** Is there a market for new, unused Woodstock tickets from 1969? We found some in the wall of an old house on our former property in New York, not far from Bethel.

The three-day Woodstock Music and Art Fair was originally intended to be held in Woodstock, New York, in August 1969. After objections were raised, the organizers moved the event three times until they were finally able to rent a farmer’s field in Bethel, New York. Tickets sold in advance were $6 per day or $18 for a three-day ticket. Those sold on-site cost $8 or $24 for a three-day ticket.

Unused tickets sell at auctions today for a few hundred dollars depending on their condition. A three-day ticket that was originally $18 sold at a recent auction for $250. A three-day ticket

MEMOIRS

by SUSAN DEAN

Making Memories Emilia is four years old. My youngest grandchild. She is the daughter of my middle daughter, Joy. Joy and her husband, Matt, and Emilia live in Texas, so we only see them a few times a year.

Last July we all gathered for a reunion in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire. My other two daughters, Rachel and Gretchen, and their families joined us along with my brother and a few assorted cousins. My nephew flew in from Atlanta and Joy, Matt, and Emilia flew in from Dallas.

I took a lot of pictures of everyone doing various activities so that I could print them out and put them in an album.

Yes, I am one of those hold-outs who still puts pictures into photo albums.

Emilia experienced the mountains of New Hampshire.

From there she visited with us back in Rhode Island having fun at the beach before heading back to Texas.

We saw Emilia again in December. She was the flower girl in my youngest daughter’s wedding. Her mother, Joy, was also in the wedding and involved in all the preparations, so Emilia and I spent a lot of time together. I was the mother of the bride as well as the chief babysitter.

After everyone had returned home from the wedding weekend, I noticed that Emilia had left one of her toys behind. A tiny plastic pink pig - about two inches tall - from her “Peppa Pig” collection. Peppa Pig hails from England, which explains why Emilia talked about “going on holiday” and “needing a plaster” for her scraped knee while we were acting out the endless scenarios that Emilia’s four-year-old

imagination conjured up during our time together. I thought about just sending Peppa back to Emilia by mail, but then I had an idea.

I spent a few days placing Peppa in various places throughout the house and I took pictures of her doing things that Emilia had enjoyed. Since it was December and the house was decorated for Christmas, Peppa was seen playing with the snowglobes, and visiting with the nutcrackers, and she fit right in with the pintsized figurines and bears on the window sills.

She was also spotted going into the miniature theater where “The Nutcracker” was playing according to the sign on its tiny marquee.

Peppa stared out the window - amazed at the snow, and stood on the piano keys preparing to play Christmas carols, and was even found climbing on the Christmas tree for a close-up view of the star at the top.

Peppa peeked into the Christmas stockings and had lunch - grilled cheese and strawberries - and read “The Night Before Christmas”.

I decided to write a story using these pictures. As I was thinking about Peppa’s “holiday” I thought about Emilia’s vacation with us back in July. So I selected pictures from New Hampshire and Rhode Island that featured Emilia, and combining them with Peppa’s pictures, I came up with “The Adventures of Emilia and Peppa on Holiday”.

Emilia’s pictures showed her swimming, playing in the sand with her cousins, and eating ice cream. My favorite was the picture I had taken of her from the chairlift at Waterville Valley. Joy and I tried to convince Emilia to ride up with us. She took one look at it and said, “No, it’s too high and scary!”

So Joy and I rode up together. And Emilia was right.

On our way back down the mountain the chairlift began to swing and bounce erratically. I would not have been a very good example of bravery for Emilia, as I really do have a fear of heights. Hyperventilating Nanas with eyes squeezed shut and wailing about wanting to get off would not have been a scene I’d want her to witness.

Once the chairlift stabilized and continued its downward journey (and I had bravely opened my eyes), I spotted Emilia at the bottom waiting with her cousins for our arrival. I took a picture of her waving to us as we descended. Sometimes four-year-olds are wise beyond their years.

Between Peppa’s holiday and Emilia’s vacation, I had forty-eight pictures in all. I wrote a few sentences about each picture and typed them into story form. I wasn’t sure how to display the pictures, but one day I happened to run into the Dollar Store. Walking down a random aisle I saw a lone small photo album that held fifty pictures. It was soft and pliable - just right for little hands - pink and decorated with hearts, unicorns, and rainbows. It was the

“

only one like it on the shelf - as if it had been waiting just for me - and for only a dollar - it was perfect.

Emilia loved it. So much so that she asked her parents to read the story to her daily - many, many times daily - while she took charge of the photo album - turning the pages to match the text. I offered to read it to her on Facetime, to give her parents a break.

On Christmas I shared it with my older grandchildren, Michael, Abby, and Anthony since they were featured in many of the pictures with Emilia. Being teenagers, they exchanged knowing glances with each other, but I also saw a few smiles escaping from their indulgently attentive faces, too.

Perhaps they were remembering when they were little and the times we spent together. “Making memories” is what we used to call our shared adventures when they were Emilia’s age.

Right now Emilia is reveling in the fun of her recent past.

Maybe someday years from now she’ll pull out a dusty pink photo album decorated with hearts, unicorns, and rainbows and find the faded typed pages that went with it. Maybe she’ll remember and laugh and reminisce about how she and Nana made memories so many years ago.

Memories can be fleeting - like ocean waves that appear and recede.

Each one disappears and another takes its place. I want to preserve as many of those ocean wave memories as I can to treasure in the years ahead, and for my grandchildren to treasure, too, as they grow into adulthood and travel through their years.

Emilia asked me to write another story. She wants it to be about her recent flower girl experience in her Aunt Gretchen’s wedding. Of course I said I would and I will need to get on it - we’ll be seeing her again in April.

Her mother had one request. “Perhaps you could make it…..a bit shorter this time?”

I told her I’d try - but who knows? Emilia and I agree that we can never have too many shared memories to cherish and she wants me to remember to include all of them, so that she’ll remember, too.

Yes, I am one of those holdouts who still puts pictures into photo albums.

Let RI Vote!

Elections in 2020 were unlike anything Rhode Island voters had experienced before. In response to the pandemic, state leaders put in place a number of common-sense measures to ensure that COVID-19 didn’t keep us and our neighbors from exercising our most basic right to vote: expanding mail ballot dropboxes, making the emergency voting process more like real early voting, ending the unnecessary requirement that voters have the signature of two witnesses or a notary on their mail ballot vote, and more.

And the results spoke for themselves. The 2020 elections saw Rhode Island’s highest turnout ever, even amidst a public health crisis. Despite their success, these reforms were only temporary, and expired at the end of 2020. And yet, the COVID crisis still sweeps across our communities years later, showing little signs of stopping.

I’m happy to share that AARP Rhode Island—on behalf of our 132,000 members across the state—is proud to be a key supporter of this year’s Let RI Vote Act. At AARP, our members’ health and safety is our top priority, which is why we are a leader in the effort to make the changes that made the 2020 elections such a success permanent, through the Let RI Vote Act. According to AARP Rhode Island’s recent Vital Voices Survey, two-thirds (66%) of Rhode Island voters age 45+ strongly or somewhat support making permanent provisions to allow voters more choices in the way we can vote. And those choices are personally important: 55% of Rhode Island registered voters age 45+ prefer to vote at their polling place on election day in general elections, while 43% prefer to vote early.

We know that older adults are smart, committed citizens, and pandemic or not, deserve the ability to choose how you want to vote: whether early in-person, by mail, or on election day. And you deserve to have the process of voting be as straightforward, common-sense, and secure as possible.

This year’s Let RI Vote bills would make voting in our state better and more secure than ever. They would: - Allow a voter to apply for a mail ballot online - Shorten the deadline to request a Braille ballot - Expand who is eligible to be on the ‘permanent mail ballot application list’ to include long-term nursing home residents - Make permanent the secure mail ballot dropboxes that were used in every community in 2020 - And, of course, End the requirement that mail ballots be signed by two witnesses or a notary public, which we know has been a barrier for so many of our members across the state to exercise their voting rights in past years.

AARP is proud to join the dozens of organizations who are supporting these bills.

And we hope you’ll take action too. Text “LETRIVOTE” to 30403, and get involved.

Contact your lawmaker. Talk to your neighbors, and explain that the Let RI Vote Act is the best way to ensure all Rhode Islanders have accessible, secure voting options.

The 2022 elections are right around the corner. So let’s pass the Let RI Vote Act as soon as possible; it’s what AARP members, Rhode Island’s older adults, and voters across our state deserve.

Coming Soon: Your Garden If you’re like me, the arrival of March means your mind is on your garden – dreaming of what to plant this year, and impatient to get started.

SOCIAL SECURITY

by CHERYL TUDINO SOCIAL SECURITY PUBLIC AFFAIRS SPECIALIST

SCAM ALERT

Defend against scammers who target Social Security

The Social Security Administration will never threaten, scare, or pressure you to take an immediate action.

Scammers are always finding new ways to steal your money and personal information by exploiting your fears. The most effective way to defeat scammers is to know how to identify scams and to ignore suspicious calls and emails.

One common tactic scammers use is posing as federal agents or other law enforcement. They may claim your Social Security number is linked to a crime. They may even threaten to arrest you if you do not comply with their instructions.

Here are three things you should do: • Hang up right away or do not reply to the email.

• Never give personal information or payment of any kind.

• Report the scam at oig.ssa.gov to immediately notify the law enforcement team in our Office of the Inspector General.

If you receive a call, text, or email that...

You should continue to remain vigilant of phone calls when someone says there’s a problem with your Social Security number or your benefits. If you owe money to us, we will mail you a letter explaining your rights, payment options, and information about appealing.

There are a few ways you can identify a scam call or email.

Remember that we will never: • Threaten you with benefit suspension, arrest, or other legal action unless you pay a fine or fee.

• Promise a benefit increase or other assistance in exchange for payment.

• Require payment by retail gift card, cash, wire transfer, internet currency, or prepaid debit card.

• Demand secrecy from you in handling a Social Securityrelated problem.

• Send official letters or reports containing personally identifiable information via email.

If you do not have ongoing business with our agency, it is unlikely we will contact you. Again, if you get a suspicious call claiming to be from us or law enforcement about Social Security, you should hang up and report it right away to our Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.

Government employees will not threaten you, demand immediate payment, or try to gain your trust by sending you pictures or documents.

•

Do not be embarrassed if you shared personal information or suffered a financial loss.

•

Get up-to-date information. Follow SSA OIG on Twitter @TheSSAOIG and Facebook @SSA Office of the Inspector General for the latest information on Social Security-related scams. Visit the Federal Trade Commission for information on other government scams.

One way people can get the new tax year off to a good start is by checking their federal income tax withholding. They can do this using the Tax Withholding Estimator on IRS. gov.

This online tool helps employees avoid having too much or too little tax withheld from their wages.

It also helps self-employed people, who have wage income, estimate tax payments that they should make to avoid unexpected results at tax time. Having too little withheld can result in a tax bill or even a penalty at tax time. Having too much withheld results in less money in their pocket. The estimator can help them get to a balance of zero or a desired refund amount.

Taxpayers can use the results from the Tax Withholding Estimator to determine if they should: · Complete a new Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate and submit it to their employer. · Make an additional or estimated tax payment to the IRS. The Tax Withholding Estimator asks taxpayers to estimate: · Their 2022 income. · The number of children they will claim for the child tax credit and earned income tax credit. · Other items that will affect their 2022 tax return when they file in 2023.

The Tax Withholding Estimator does not ask for personally identifiable information, such as a name, Social Se-

ASSISTED LIVING

MEMORY CARE

INDEPENDENT LIVING

HOME CARE

curity number, address, and bank account numbers. The IRS doesn't save or record the information entered in the Estimator.

Before using the Estimator, it can be helpful for taxpayers to gather applicable income documents including: · Their pay stubs · Forms W-2 from employers to estimate their annual income · Forms 1099 from banks, issuing agencies and other payers including unemployment compensation, dividends, distributions from a pension, annuity, or retirement plan · Form 1099-K, 1099-MISC, W-2 or other income statement for workers in the gig economy · Form 1099-INT for interest received · Other income documents and records of virtual currency transactions These documents are not needed to use the estimator but having them handy will help taxpayers estimate 2022 income and answer other questions asked during the process.

The Tax Withholding Estimator results will only be as accurate as the information entered by the taxpayer. People with only pension income should not use the Estimator.

Those with wage income can account for current or future pension income. People with more complex tax situations should use the instructions in Publication 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax. This includes taxpayers who owe alternative minimum tax or certain other taxes, and people with long-term capital gains or qualified dividends.

SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE REMINDER

SENIOR ISSUES

by LARRY GRIMALDI

You’ve Got A Friend and The Three Amigos (With apologies to Carole King and James Taylor, Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, and Martin Short) The word “friendship” is rooted in the Old English word, “freondscipe,” signifying a mutual liking or regard. Musical catalogues are full of songs about friendship such as “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” (Randy Newman), “Thank You for Being a Friend,” (Andrew Gold), “Lean on Me,” (Bill Withers), “That’s What Friends Are For,” (Stevie Wonder), and the aforementioned, “You’ve Got a Friend.”

Family members are friends on an intimate level (except for a disgruntled Italian relative who casts the evil-eye on you for a perceived slight or long-forgotten insult). I am very fortunate to have a caring, loving and supportive immediate family. I am also surrounded by a legion of compassionate, empathetic, and extraordinary in-laws who adopted me as a sibling more than 50 years ago. We have celebrated life’s joys, triumphs and milestones together, and consoled each other when confronted with life’s challenges.

My three children and five grandchildren are the gold standards of my friendships. We share special bonds that are a source of constant joy. At the pinnacle of the friendship mountain stands my wife Kathy. We have worked together, raised our children, laughed, cried, argued, apologized, compromised, traveled, and shared our lives with a mutual respect and faithfulness that is all too uncommon in today’s disposable world. Most importantly, she has cared, nurtured, endured, and loved me unconditionally during the roughest times of my life. Her quiet courage and inner strength are embodied in Bill Withers’ “Lean on Me.” Fortune may favor you with a small, loyal circle of true friends. Sometimes it takes a crisis to realize how grateful you are for their presence and to appreciate their sincere concern for your well-being. They stand by you; check on you frequently to boost your morale when you are out-of-sorts, and inspire you to better health. I don’t want to embarrass them, so I’ll just refer to them as the Three Amigos. I know they will recognize themselves.

I met Amigo One in 1962 as a freshman at Classical High School. We worked hard to handle the rigors of a strenuous college preparatory curriculum. In retrospect, Classical High School Academic Boot Camp was the perfect training ground for higher education. (But I’m getting ahead of myself). Amigo One and I double-dated for high school dances, spent many Sundays at South County beaches, and speculated about life and our futures. We moved uptown (or down south if you prefer) to the University of Rhode Island in 1966. I preferred a relaxed approach my journalism studies and was eager to explore the opportunities of my new-found freedom. He applied extraordinary effort to his engineering courses. I do take credit, however, for his first inebriation on Colt 45 malt liquor at one of the regular weekend parties in my off-campus room. While he was more conservative than me, our lives moved on surprising similar paths after graduation.

We were both married within two years and were best men at each other’s wedding. We both had three children and became homeowners.

Obligations of growing families and establishing our respective careers curtailed time spent together. With retirement and other obligations in the rear-view mirror, we reinvigorated our friendship. After my recent surgeries, Amigo One called and e-mailed me often, asking about my recovery progress and lifting my spirits. This friendship of more than 60 years is a perfect reflection of Randy Newman’s, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.” I met Amigo Two when I began coaching my son’s Little League team in the mid-1980s. We shared similar perspectives about youth sports, such as learning the game, good sportsmanship, and, above all, having fun. He was a charter member of the Friday Night After Little League Games “Conference” at a local pub. As the adage goes, “The proof is in the pudding.” More than 30 years later, when we see one our former players, they greet us enthusiastically and spend a few moments reminiscing about games played at Lee Romano field. I realized that we had instilled the correct perspective one night when one of my players asked if the team would be still be treated to ice cream AFTER we had lost a game. Over the years, this friendship bloomed into cruises, trips to California wine country, tours of France and Italy, the Saratoga Race Track, among other travels, and countless celebrations (some for no reason at all) at each other’s houses. As with Amigo One, he has made it a point to call and check on me numerous times during my recent illness.

For Amigo Two, “Thank You for Being a Friend,” by Andrew Gold is appropriate.

I met Amigo Three via the same Little League connection as Amigo Two. He was also a member of the Friday Night “Conference.” As with Amigo Two, the friendship bloomed into cruises, a tour of Italy, trips to Saratoga and more gatherings at each other’s houses. The friendship has spanned over three decades with one interesting twist-a sharp division of political views. I fall on the left of the political spectrum.

He is on the right. Last summer, were enjoying a cold one after a golf game when we began a boisterous discussion about the 45th president. As the third member of our threesome listened to a debate marked by increasing volume, the gentleman at the next table was so entertained that he sent us a beer. Even this heated exchange did not our fracture our friendship. We talked ourselves out and then scheduled our 10:36 Thursday tee time with no bruised egos. As with the other Amigos, he called frequently while I was ill. As winter approached, we talked about our mutual snowbird sabbaticals in south Florida. For Amigo Three, I chose “That’s What Friends are For,” by Stevie Wonder.

By now, it’s obvious that “You’ve Got a Friend” applies to each of these special persons in my life.

“Could you please repeat that?” I would often say to the person on the other end of the phone call.

Even with my hearing aids, I would often have a problem understanding the words.

My ENT doctor had the perfect solution: A CaptionCall phone.

Similar to captioned television, CaptionCall provides written captions on a large, easy-to-read screen. It works like a regular telephone, using a handset or built in speaker.

A letter from your doctor sets the process in motion, all available through a special grant An installer/instructor came to my house and set the phone up, teaching me how to use its many features and then providing me with a manual containing all the information that I will forget when he leaves. The manual is, like the display screen, even in large print.

How did they know?

Want to hear the really good news? It is all FREE!

As a provision of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the U.S. federal government established a fund to give individuals with hearing loss access to captioned telephone service at no cost.

The many features include the speaker phone, which allows my wife to participate in the call from her chair, volume control, a missed call button, so that you can return calls with one touch of a button, and a phone book built into the machine.

The phone is invaluable to me, as I often do telephone interviews for Prime Time. During some of the interviews, I will talk to people with specific accents, resulting in the King’s English getting murdered.

“Don” often becomes “Dawn” while “Joyce” came out “Juice”.

Note: There is at least one other company providing this service, and the phones are available for purchase for those who do not qualify.

Super Bowl Chili This recipe for Texas-style chili contains small chunks of beef, not ground meat. The classic version doesn’t contain beans, but we replaced a portion of the meat with red kidney beans to cut some fat.

2 tablespoons olive oil 2 pounds boneless beef for stew, cut into 1/2-inch chunks 4 cloves garlic, crushed with garlic press 2 red peppers, cut into 1/2-inch dice 2 jalapeno chiles, seeded and minced 1 large onion, chopped 1/3 cup chili powder 2 cans (28-ounce) whole tomatoes in puree 1 can (6-ounce) tomato paste 1/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoon dried oregano 2 cans (15- to 19-ounce) red kidney beans, rinsed and drained 1. In 8-quart saucepot or Dutch oven, heat 1 teaspoon oil over high heat until hot. Add one-third of beef and cook until browned on all sides and liquid evaporates, 6 to 8 minutes, stirring often. With slotted spoon, transfer beef to bowl. Repeat with remaining beef, using 1 teaspoon oil per batch; set aside.

2. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to drippings in saucepot and heat over medium-high heat until hot. Stir in garlic, red peppers, jalapenos and onion, and cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in chili powder; cook 1 minute.

3. Return beef to saucepot. Stir in tomatoes with their puree, tomato paste, sugar, salt, oregano and 2 cups water, breaking up tomatoes with side of spoon. Heat to boiling over high heat.

4. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 1 hour and 30 minutes. Stir in beans and cook 10 to 30 minutes longer or until meat is fork-tender, stirring occasionally. Serves 12.

February 7, 2022

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A close friend or relative has news that can change some of your plans. Be flexible.

You could be in for a most-pleasant surprise at how things turn out.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A new opportunity opens just as you close the door on an earlier project. However, you should be prepared to make adjustments in your expectations.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Expect a surprise ally in your corner when you confront a still-uncertain situation in your workplace. In your personal life, a family member has good news.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A co-worker could resent what he or she might perceive as arrogance on your part. Smooth things over with a full explanation to avoid a serious misunderstanding.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) There is no time for catnaps this week. A workplace problem needs your attention before it gets out of hand. Ditto a financial matter that must be resolved as soon as possible.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Pressuring someone to act quickly on a problem could backfire. It makes good sense to be both patient and supportive if you want full cooperation.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A touch of uncertainty lurks in your aspect this week. Weigh all decisions — personal and professional — even more carefully than you usually do.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You need to use your innate good sense to help you sort through career offers that might not be what they appear. A trusted associate can help.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Things move along more smoothly at work, but a personal relationship presents some challenges that need close attention.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Positive observations resolve the last lingering doubts about a recent move. Now you need to work on that still-pesky problem with a loved one.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might be a generous soul, but avoid being taken advantage of by those who have their own agendas. If you have any doubts, get out before regret sets in.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your strength might be tested by conflicting priorities in your personal life. Weigh the facts and then make the only choice you can: the right one.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a deep sense of honesty and spirituality.

People instinctively put their trust in you to lead them to the light.
