• On Nov. 14, 1889, journalist Nellie Bly took a page from Jules Verne’s novel “Around the World in 80 Days” by following in the footsteps of the book’s protagonist, Phileas Fogg, and embarked on her own adventure, starting in Hoboken, New Jersey. She chronicled the trip in her book “Around the World in 72 Days.” On Nov. 15, 1949, Nathuram Godse, Narayan Apte and six of their coconspirators in the assassination of FROM KING FEATURES WEEKLY SERVICE, Mahatma Gandhi were hanged at the Ambala jail.

With just 10 active chapters today, it has resisted expansion in order to create an “intimate, personal experience” for its members. On Nov. 18, 1872, American civil rights activist Susan B.

Their unsurprising lack of enthusiasm shelved the project for nearly a decade.

Taking a Tetanus Vaccine With an Allergy Requires Careful Monitoring DEAR DR. ROACH: I was told by my doctor that I need a tetanus booster shot, but when I was 17, I cut my foot and needed stitches. I was told then that I was allergic to the tetanus shot, so they gave me penicillin instead. Of course, that was a long time ago, since I’m now 81 years old. How could they have determined I was allergic to the shot, and is that even reliable? Can I be tested now? Or do I even need to be tested? — M.N. ANSWER: Reactions to vaccines are common, but they were much more common 64 years ago, when the purity of vaccines was far less than what it is now. One reaction that was common in the 1950s is called an Arthus reaction, which causes painful swelling at the injection site within a few hours — the worst swelling usually occuring around 24 hours later, and then slowly decreasing. You are unlikely to get that type of allergic reaction because of better vaccines, and because it has been so many years since you’ve taken the vaccine. Very few people get anaphylactic reactions. Anaphylaxis is a lifethreatening condition, which often starts with skin symptoms such as hives or swelling; respiratory symptoms such as nasal congestion, discharge or the sensation of the throat closing; gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain; and cardiovascular symptoms such as dizziness and fainting. Any history of anaphylaxis prevents you from getting the same trigger (vaccine or medication) again, if it can be helped. Only a careful history
Lic. #31
of your symptoms at the time of the allergic reaction you had can provide an answer on which type of reaction it was. Blood testing for allergic reactions is not 100% reliable. If you haven’t had a tetanus vaccine in over 60 years, the decision to get one now really is a judgment call based on your likelihood of exposures. If you do a lot of gardening or hiking, it may be worthwhile to give you a vaccine with careful monitoring. If you were to develop a tetanus-prone wound, such as a deep wound that comes into contact with soil or manure, you would be recommended tetanus immunoglobulin as well as a tetanus vaccine. Penicillin alone is not effective in preventing tetanus: Meticulous wound cleaning is critical, in addition to the shots. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: How do I know if I’ve been vaccinated for polio? — S.A. ANSWER: The first U.S.-transmitted case of polio in a decade was reported in Rockland County, New York, in July 2022. The person who contracted polio was unvaccinated: They probably contracted the case from a person who was vaccinated outside the U.S., since it was a vaccine-derived polio case. Occasionally, the weakened strain used for the oral polio vaccine can mutate and cause disease. The oral polio vaccine has not been used in the U.S. since 2000, but it is still used in other parts of the world. The vast majority of American and Canadian adults are vaccinated for polio, as it is required for school. So, most adults do not need vaccination, but it is routine for those traveling to endemic areas to receive a booster. Unfortunately, many children have not gotten their boosters on time due to the pandemic, and parents in the area of the case are recommended to get their kids’ vaccines up-to-date as soon as possible. Anyone exposed to a known case should get guidance from their physician, who will probably be in contact with the health department. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

Helping a “Found” Cat Get Home DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My friend found an orange cat matching the description on a paper flyer posted on a nearby telephone pole. However, the email address listed on the flyer keeps coming back as “invalid,” so she has no way to contact the owner. What else can she do to return the cat to its rightful owner? — Jimmy V., via email DEAR JIMMY: Kudos to you and your friend for caring for the lost cat and trying to get it back to the owner! The first thing to do is to contact nearby shelters and veterinarian’s offices and tell them that you’ve found a lost cat but cannot contact the owner. They may have you bring in the cat to scan for a microchip — the best way to identify pets and reunite them with their owners when a collar and tag are lost. Or they may ask for a description and have you email a photo of the cat so they can put up a “found” flyer in their lobby. Chances are, if the owner has already put up flyers, they have probably been checking with shelters regularly to see if their cat has been reported found or has turned up there. Next, get the word out. Paws.org has a downloadable PDF flyer (www. paws.org/resources/reunite-a-foundpet/) that you can use to post your own found sign and add a contact email or number for the owner to call. Post a found notice on Facebook groups like Lost and Pound (www.facebook.com/ lostandpound), which focus on lost pets. Chances are, you’ll locate the owner locally, but getting the word out as far and as wide as possible will help reunite that cat with its owner.

HOLLYWOOD — Kenneth Branagh will direct and play Agatha Christie’s master detective Hercule Poirot a third time, as he did for “Murder on the Orient Express” in 2017 ($55 million cost with a $352.8 million gross) and “Death on the Nile” in 2022 ($90 million cost with a $137.3 million gross). Both were remakes of previous all-star films. He’s chosen a lesser-known book of Agatha Christie’s — “A Haunting in Venice,” set in the post-WWII era. Directed by Sidney Lumet, the original “Murder on the Orient Express” FEATURES WEEKLY (1974) starred AlbertSERVICE, Finney as Poirot, along with Ingrid Bergman, Lauren Bacall, Sean Connery, MarDrive, Orlando, FL 32803 tin Balsam, Vanessa Redgrave and Anthony Perkins. “Death On The SERVICE: 800-708-7311 257 Nile” (1978) was directed EXT. by John Guillerman and starred Peter Ustinov as Poirot, Bette Davis, Maggie #12345_20221031 Smith, David Niven, Mia Farrow, Simon MacCorkindale and Angela SELansbury. OCT. 31,Branagh 2022 boasts that he’s assembled an all-star cast with Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Michelle Yeoh, guez Ali Khan, Emma Laird, Kelly Reilly and Riccardo Scamarcio. Is that an all-star cast? *** Shocking to see that none of Angela Lansbury’s obituaries on Oct. 11, mentioned she’d completed a role in the sequel to “Knives Out” titled, “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,” starring Daniel Craig (returning as Benoit Blanc), Edward Norton, Janelle Monae, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista and, of course, Angela Lansbury! Now, that’s an all-star cast! *** In case you’ve wondered why Agatha Christie’s greatest success, “The Mousetrap,” was never made into a movie: In 1959, a film starring Tyrone Power and Maria Schell was shelved because Christie had other plans for it. The play opened in London in 1952 and ran uninterrupted until March 2020, when it was shuttered by the pandem-

Angela Lansbury ic. “The Mousetrap” reopened in May 2021 and has been going strong from there. Off-Broadway’s longest running hit, “The Fantasticks,” pales by comparison, with a 1960 opening running 42 years and 17,162 performances (until 2002). The 2000 film, directed by Michael Ritchie and starring Joel Grey, was a critical and box office failure. Christie knew what she was doing ... it was no mystery to her! *** A last word about Angela Lansbury — fans of “Murder, She Wrote” can’t imagine how much Angela and her character, Jessica Fletcher, were alike. Thanks to my friendship with the legendary Esme Chandlee, an MGM publicist during the Golden Age of Hollywood who handled Elizabeth Taylor, Ann Miller, Jane Powell and Angela (among many others), I was invited to many lunches and dinners with Esme and Angela. Angela had the ability to make anyone feel accepted and welcomed in her world. I never wanted those meals to end. The angels are the lucky ones now!

If you are ever fortunate enough to pass through the doors of the Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux, there are a few things you should expect: One, you should expect to feel completely at home ~ man, woman, child. You are home when you are here. Two, you should expect to see others just like you ~ gay, straight, or any other way you identify. No one is excluded here. Three, you should expect to see a volunteer clergy who receive no compensation for their dedication, service, and commitment to their congregation. Four, you should expect to see women serving alongside their male counterparts as ordained Deacons, Ministers and even married Priests. Five, you should expect to see divorcees partaking in all the rituals and blessings that their married and single friends enjoy. Six, you should expect a welcoming hand, an outstretched arm, an embrace, and an invitation to return. The Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux is an independent Catholic Community that functions outside the jurisdiction of Rome. As Father Charles Vohs, the congregation’s Priest explains, this is a faith community whose mission it is to reclaim those whose experiences have left them feeling marginalized by the traditional Catholic Church. The church is a haven for those whose abiding faith in the teachings of Jesus Christ have not always been in alignment with their lifestyles, leaving them feeling estranged, conflicted, and often unwanted. Father Chuck would say to those who feel left on the fringes of their

Like so many of us, it needed a long overdue “makeover.” Today, it is a magnificent and historic structure with tall arching beams, exquisite stained-glass windows, gracious statues, and familiar emblems of the faith.

“The Watcher” (TV-MA) — If you’re looking for a new TV show to binge, look no further than this mystery thriller out now. Based on a true story, this seven-episode series focuses on the Brannock family, who relocated from New York after finding their dream home in a quiet suburb in New Jersey. Shortly after they move in, the Brannocks begin receiving disturbing letters in the mail from someone called “The Watcher,” who claims to be watching them, and their house, from a distance. These letters, followed by odd interactions with their neighbors, leave the Brannocks to question their move. But, little do they know that once they had set their sights on the house, they would never be able to just walk away. (Netflix) “The White Lotus Season 2” (TV-MA) — The huge success that followed the limited series “The White Lotus” led to its renewal by HBO as an anthology series, prompting a second season with a mostly new set of characters. Jennifer Coolidge reprises her role as Tanya, Michael Imperioli (“The Sopranos”) portrays a new troubled character named Dominic Di Grasso and Aubrey Plaza (“Parks and Recreation”) stars as Harper Spiller. The second season is set in the White Lotus resort based in Sicily and explores a range of tough relationship dynamics similar to the ones viewers encountered at the Hawaii resort during the first season. The first episode of the season is out now. (HBO Max) “Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me” (R) — From director Alek Keshishian
(“Madonna: Truth or Dare”), this documentary film zooms in on the past six years of Selena Gomez’s career in Hollywood. Gomez reached a turning point in her life when she was diagnosed with lupus. After having battled depression and anxiety for years leading up to this point, the young star knew she needed to reset and regain her power back, so she focused her efforts on learning how to stabilize her mental health. This documentary shows a vulnerable, raw side to Gomez in a way meant to inspire others as she reaches a breakthrough in her personal and professional life. Out Nov. 4. (AppleTV+)

Bobby Cannavale stars as Dean Brannock in “The Watcher.” “My Policeman” (R) — Another notch on Harry Styles’ acting belt this year is the romantic drama film “My Policeman,” based on the 2012 novel by Bethan Roberts. In Brighton, England, during the 1950s, Tom Burgess (played by Styles) is a policeman who’s deeply within the closet but marries schoolteacher Marion Taylor (Emma Corrin) in order to maintain the image that he’s a heterosexual man. However, Tom is in love with a museum curator named Patrick, and by choosing to marry Marion, he swears all three of them to secrecy. But can either relationship truly thrive this way, or will Tom have to sacrifice for love? “My Policeman” is available to stream Nov. 4. (Prime Video) © 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

In recent years, many a motorist has noticed how much more glare they encounter on the road at night than they used to. The headlights that are now standard in many vehicles can be a catch-22. Drivers of vehicles equipped with LED lights often find the road in front of them is much more illuminated thant it was in the days when auto manufacturers built cars and trucks with incandescent lights. However, the bright light emitted by LED headlights can increase glare for oncoming motorists, making the roads more dangerous for all. Headlight glare has long been a problem for many drivers. In fact, as far back as 2001 the Highway Traffic and Safety Administration sought input from the public regarding headlight glare. A subsequent report noted that the issue compelled more responses than any other safety concern, and it’s likely that a similar request would generate an even greater response today. LED lights might be a problem for millions of motorists, but the efficiency and longevity of these lights makes it unlikely that auto manufacturers will shift to an alternative light source anytime soon. Until that time comes, drivers can try these strategies to combat glare when driving at night. • Avoid looking directly at oncoming headlights. It’s important that drivers keep their
eyes on the road at all times, but they should be able to do so without staring directly at oncoming lights. In North America, where oncoming traffic is always on the left, drivers can slightly shift their focus to the right as lights are oncoming. Doing so should allow them to keep their eyes on the road without staring directly into oncoming lights. • Purchase night driving glasses. Drivers can consider night driving glasses if they’re having a lot of trouble with glare. Such glasses differ depending on the manufacturer, but they’re generally intended to reduce glare and reflections from headlights and street lamps. • Investigate wiper blades. Glare from oncoming headlights contribute to visibility problems when driving at night, and old wiper blades can exacerbate those problems. Old wiper blades can be compromised by a buildup of dirt and often wear down over time. When coupled with glare, this can significantly reduce visibility at night. Each manufacturer is different, but Ford recommends replacing wiper blades once every 12 months. In • Clean the interior of your windshield. A dirty windshield interior also can exacerbate glare. Grit and dirt build up inside of a vehicle over time, and they can accumulate on the wind-
shield just as easily as they do in a cup holder, on an armrest or on the dashboard. Various products are designed specifically for cleaning interior windshields, and these could help reduce glare at night. Glare can make nighttime driving very difficult. Fortunately, drivers can take many steps to reduce glare from oncoming headlights.

What is Your Retire-Ready Recipe? Jeffrey H. Massey Certified Financial Planner™ Massey and Associates, Inc.
A recipe is like a roadmap that tells us exactly what we need to do to help us get to where we want to go. Of course, if you don’t follow the recipe and perhaps leave out one of the more important ingredients-- you know what happens: You taste it and perhaps say or think, gee, this doesn’t taste the same as when mom made it. Can you relate? I am certain each of us has a family recipe that has been passed down or around the family, perhaps for generations. My favorite is my mom’s bread stuffing which I make for every Thanksgiving dinner. I can’t wait to taste it again! When it comes to retirement, there is no one way to structure or plan for your retirement. The recipe that is great for you may not work at all for another family member, your best friend, or your neighbors. The goal with retirement planning is to work the “recipe” for your specific situation to achieve the retirement lifestyle that is a good fit for you and your spouse if you are married. So, what are the main ingredients that I think should really be considered for every retirement plan? Yes, I first said that everyone’s recipe is likely to be different, however, there are certain elements that I think should be included
in every retirement plan. The three specific elements are: safety, liquidity and growth for the future. Within those three elements is where the plan can be dramatically different for each person or couple. Everyone has a different perspective when it comes to their risk tolerance (taking on more risk or preferring to take on less risk.) By properly implementing a plan that contains these three elements, you are designing strategies to help you pursue your particular goals and objectives for a successful retirement. The major difference from one person’s plan to another is the amount of money that you put into each of these three asset positions. The challenge with putting money into these three elements is that you cannot achieve all three--safety, liquidity and growth--with a single asset placement. However, you can typically get two out of three of these important elements. Let’s start with this comment: every choice you make as to where you should place your assets will have both pros and cons. It’s up to you to weigh each choice with the pros and cons and decide which is most comfortable for you. In the safety category, your choices are bank or credit union money, backed up by the FDIC or NCUA, and insurance products that are backed by the financial strength and claims paying ability of the issuing insurance company. There are insurance-based products that offer the possibility to earn much higher rates of return than the bank, credit

union or government securities. Some of these options may have liquidity as well. There are important details to consider when this type of option is recommended to you, so work with a professional advisor that will help explain all the details. Another option is US government securities like treasure bills, notes, and bonds that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. In this category, you will get safety and a certain amount of liquidity, which is the second category, but typically, you may not get much growth. Therefore, although the safety category is important to a retire-ready recipe, you will not have much in the way of growth at the current rates of interest, which have only recently started to go up as the Federal Reserve has raised their interest rates. In the liquidity category, you should have your emergency money along with money for expected larger expenses such as a roof, new car, etc. There is a cost for liquidity, which is that you will not make much money on your deposit. We refer to this money as your “pillow” money so when your head hits the pillow at night, you will be confident in your plan and enjoy a good night’s sleep by not worrying about access to money. Moving on to category number three - growth. This is a very important element to have in your plan. Typically, these are your investments in the stock market. I will concede that you can also invest in bonds, however, the challenge
with bonds is that their fair market value (the amount you can sell the bond for) will go down as interest rates rise. As the Fed has started to aggressively raise interest rates, this has a negative effect on the value of your bonds if you were to sell them. The bond aggregate index, according to the Yahoo Finance web site, was down as much as 16% earlier this year, and as of September 22nd, it is down approximately 11%. (https:// www.cnbc.com/2022/10/18/stocks-andbonds-both-down-what-to-do-with-yourmoney.html?__source=sharebar|email&pa r=sharebar, 2022) In the growth category, you will also have liquidity as you can sell your investments to get money out of the market, however, you may not have as much protection in this category. Of course, you may also have liquidity in your savings or money market accounts. As I mentioned earlier, you can usually get two elements, but not all three. So, there you have it! A Retire-Ready Recipe that includes three main ingredients: safety, liquidity and growth. This is how we customize a retire-ready plan for our clients.

Saving strategies for young adults
Expanded Help for Veteran Caregivers The Department of Veterans Affairs is giving a helping hand to veteran caregivers of all eras. The Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) has been expanded to include eligible veterans who served after May 7, 1975, and before Sept. 11, 2001. At-home caregivers have been the glue that held together any number of veteran programs, and now more of them will get the assistance they need. The program assists caregivers with health insurance and access to health care through CHAMPVA, peer support, respite care (30 days per year), education and training, financial assistance and monthly stipend, certain travel expenses, resources and more. The program includes both primary and secondary (backup) caregivers, although there are different services for secondary. At the same time, the VA is extending the length of time that Legacy participants, veterans and their caregivers can stay eligible for the program. This date now runs through Sept. 30, 2025. “Legacy” means that a veteran was designed as eligible before Oct. 1, 2020. Eligible veterans include those who had a serious injury or a serious illness during active duty during any service era. The veteran must have a disability rating of 70% or higher, have been discharged or have a medical discharge and need at least six months of personal care services for assistance such as feeding, supervision, safety and bathing. To learn more about the Caregiver Support Program, call them at 855260-3274 on Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. EST, and on Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST. For an online application and specific eligibility criteria, go to www. va.gov/family-member-benefits/ c o m p r e h e n s ive - a s s i s t a n c e - f o rfamily-caregivers. Look for the link to VA Form 10-10CG. In addition, the veteran needs to be enrolled in VA health care. Apply for that on VA Form 10-10EZ on that same webpage. Don’t send any medical records with your applications. The VA will ask for those later. For even more information on PCAFC, go to www.caregiver.va.gov/ support/support_benefits.asp and click on “Fact Sheets.” © 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.
When a person is young, saving money may be the furthest thing from his or her mind. After all, this may be a time to enroll in college or trade school, make a first big purchase, such as a car, or even get married. Thinking about establishing a solid financial footing for the future can take a back seat when life is filled with so many significant events. But it’s never too early to start saving — even when saving seems to be an impossible task. Young adults should keep saving in mind and look to various strategies that can set them up for longterm financial security. Set long-term goals It’s easier to save when saving is attached to specific goals. While some may aspire to retire early, establish an emergency fund or to purchase a home, others may want to save for an overseas vacation. Motivation to save can make it that much easier to do so. Determine where you spend the most Saving money on smaller purchases will add up over time, but to really build a robust savings, figure out your biggest expenditures and how you can cut back to pad your savings. The Logic of Money reports
that the average American spends more than 60 percent of their income on housing and transportation. Figuring out how to cut costs in these categories can be a great way to save. Use cashback apps Young adults are tied to their digital devices. Why not make them work for you? Free cash back apps give you money back for various purchases. Ibotta and Dosh are just two cashback apps available. Some can be linked directly to a credit or debit card to have passive income deposited directly. With others, you can cash out as a direct deposit or via a payment app like PayPal. Set aside one-third of your income Make it a point to put away $1 for every $3 earned into a savings account, advises U.S. News & World Report. That is a good measure for establishing a rainy day fund. If you don’t trust yourself to transfer the money, have a set amount automatically deposited from your paycheck into a designated savings account. Treat credit cards like using cash The “buy now, pay later” option is an attractive trap to fall into. Using credit cards often is a safer way to pay mer-
chants, because you’re risking others’ money rather than your own with a debit card. However, using credit can make it challenging to visualize what you’re actually spending. Do not purchase more than you can pay off within each billing cycle. Set account alerts
on your phone to let you know when you’ve hit your budgeted credit card spending limit. Resist the urge to open and use too many cards. Young adults can begin saving early with some conventional and highly effective strategies

According to the real estate research firm CoreLogic, annual home price growth during the pandemic was the most the group had ever seen in its 45 years of tracking home prices. Since the World Health Organization first declared a pandemic in March of 2020, home prices have risen dramatically. CoreLogic reports that median home prices across the United States increased by 18 percent between July 2020 and July 2021. The increase was even more significant in Canada, where data from the Canadian Real Estate Associa-
tion indicated home prices had risen by more than 38 percent between 2020 and 2021. Such increases were welcome news for individuals who already owned their homes, but many individuals who did not found themselves priced out of the market. The good news for potential home buyers is that median home prices are not expected to increase as much in 2022 as they have since the onset of the pandemic. In fact, CoreLogic forecasted a 2.7 percent appreciation between July 2021 and July 2022.

Mysterious Figure Sometimes inventions have changed how we perform a job. They make a certain tool or decoration no longer useful, and its earlier use is forgotten. A 5-inch-tall bisque vase shaped like a man in a political uniform was one of these mysteries in a recent auction. It could hold small flowers for a very short time, because the small opening would hold only enough water for flowers for a day. We have seen similar small figures identified as match holders, but it could be a “whimsey” (a fanciful figure, perhaps even a joke). We were sure it was old, and we thought the figure was a caricature of a known English politician. The style of pants, short shirt, yellow epaulets, curly hairdo and flat hat seemed proper. Whatever it was used for, it was appealing, and with eight bids, it sold for $59 at the Conestoga auction in Pennsylvania. The value will go up if the man can be identified. *** What is a 100-year-old Hohner Professional model chromatic octave harmonica worth? It’s in a red case that has “Made in Germany” printed on it. The first harmonicas were made by hand in the 1820s. Matthias Hohner, a watchmaker in Trossingen, Germany, used machines to mass produce harmonicas. He founded his company in 1857. The company is best known for its harmonicas and accordions, but it also made other musical instruments. By 1930 it was the world’s biggest musical instrument maker. Hohner began making chromatic harmonicas in 1912. Depressing the button on the side of the harmonica changes the notes a half step, making it possible to play a chromatic scale. Hohner became part of KHS, a Taiwan musical instrument company, in 1987. Hohner has made over a billion harmonicas. Most aren’t worth much, less than $50, because they are so common. If the harmonica is a model collectors want or if there is something unusual about it, it’s in perfect condition and has the original box, it might

sell for more. Take it to a music store in your area and see if someone there can give you an idea of value. *** TIP: The material used to make repairs is warmer to the touch than the porcelain.

How to confront frequent increases in costs of living Prices on the majority of goods and services have increased significantly over the last year-plus. Financial analysts report that inflation has reached heights that haven’t been seen in 41 years. According to the United States Department of Labor, the consumer price index, which measures changes in how much Americans pay for good and services, rose 0.4 percent in September. As prices soared, families’ budgets were being pushed. What can people do in the face of rising costs on items they need, including those who may be on fixed incomes? These suggestions may help. • Frequently review your budget. Keep track of how much items cost right now. Document all spending by writing down a list of weekly expenses or utilizing any number of free budgeting apps available. Tracking what is going out may make it easier to cut costs on less essential items, such as streaming services or gym memberships. • Contact service providers. You may be able to negotiate better deals with a service provider, such as a mobile phone company or a cable television provider, if they learn you are considering leaving. If they can’t work out a deal, go with the less expensive provider. You can always switch back at the end of the term if you desire. • Stop automatic payments. Having subscriptions and other bills automatically deducted from your checking account is convenient, but those rising costs may be overlooked. By viewing your bill and paying it each month, you can see where costs have increased and where you might need to rethink services.
• Carpool to work or school. Reduce expenditures on gasoline by sharing the costs with another person. Determine if public transportation is more cost-effective than driving to work or school each day. • Consider alternative retailers. Brand loyalty to one supermarket or a particular retailer is quickly becoming a thing of the past. Nowadays it is wise to comparison shop across various stores to figure out where you’re getting the best deal. Venture into stores you may not have considered previously. Divide your shopping list by store category, visiting several for different items if it leads to big savings. • Unplug, literally and figuratively. Cut down on energy costs by unplugging items when not in use. Reduce dependence on devices to further stem costs on electricity and gas-powered appliances. Prices continue to rise and consumers can explore various ways to stick to their spending budgets.

Turning a hobby into a career Hobbies are enjoyable and often educational ways to spend free time. Over the last yearplus, 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.

alyze 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.

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 hob-

Game day party ideas Football season has been in full swing for several months, and will soon culminate in the game of all games in early February — the Super Bowl. Watching the action on the field is exciting, but game day experiences can be enhanced by sharing the festivities with friends or family. Football parties can take enjoyment of the game to the next level and be enhanced with each game that occurs on the road to the playoffs. The following are some ways to score touchdowns when hosting game day gatherings. Create a DIY football field table cover Head to the nearest party store and purchase green craft paper or a plastic tablecloth. Stretch it over the expanse of the table you need to cover and secure it underneath with tape or clips. Use white tape or ribbon to mark off the field yard markings and utilize white stick-on numerals to enhance the yard line measurements. Such a festive table can double as the perfect playing field for table-top football. Decorate a drink station Dress up your cooler with team colors and logos. Make a goal post out of PVC piping to add a little extra whim-
sy to the design. Create game-inspired foods Football-shaped foods, from mini meatloafs to calzones to cookies to doughnuts, will make the event even more fun. Invest in a football-shaped cookie cutter to cut just about everything, from sliced cheeses to sandwiches to pie crusts to that pigskin shape. Set up games of chance Buying “boxes” and gambling on the outcomes of the quarters is tradition for many people who participate in football parties. However, gambling isn’t for everyone. Party hosts can come up with other clever ideas to give people chances to win prizes. Purchase a few inex-

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might feel compelled to get involved on the “right side” of a seemingly unfair fight, but appearances can be deceptive. Get the facts before going forth into the fray. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Bullying others into agreeing with your position could cause resentment. Instead, persuade them to join you by making your case on a logical pointby-point basis. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Resist pushing for a workplace decision you might feel is long overdue. Your impatience could backfire. Meanwhile, focus on that still-unsettled personal situation. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your aspects favor doing something different. You might decide to redecorate your home, take a trip somewhere you’ve never been, or even change your hairstyle. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You might want to take a break from your busy schedule to restore your energy levels. Use this less-hectic time to also reassess your plans and make needed changes. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) What you like to think of as determination might be seen by others as nothing more than stubbornness. Try to be more flexible if you hope to get things resolved.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Watch that you don’t unwittingly reveal work-related information to the wrong person. It’s best to say nothing until you get official clearance to open up. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) With things settling down at work or at home, you can now take on a new challenge without fear of distraction. Be open to helpful suggestions from colleagues. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your creativity can help resolve an emotional situation that might otherwise get out of hand. Continue to be your usual caring and sensitive self. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You could impress a lot of influential people with the way you untangle a few knotty problems. Meanwhile, a colleague is set to share some welcome news. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Aspects favor recharging your social life and meeting new people. It’s also a good time to renew friendships that might be stagnating due to neglect on both sides. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Congratulations. Your talent for working out a highly technical problem earns you well-deserved praise. The weekend could bring news about a friend or relative.

Q:
I’m really enjoying the new show “Fire Country.” However, I always worry that a show I invest my time in will be canceled. How is this one doing with its ratings? — U.T. CBS recently ordered full seasons for three of its new series: “East New York,” “So Help Me Todd,” and “Fire Country,” so that should give you a vote of confidence. According to TVLine.com, the network didn’t announce specifically what constitutes a “full season” for these particular shows, but I would say it stands a very good chance of being renewed for its second season as well. “Fire Country” stars Max Thieriot (“SEAL Team”) as a recently released prison inmate fighting brush fires out west. It had the highest-rated season premiere this fall for a network television show. It also airs on Friday nights, which is not an ideal time slot, since people not only have a lot of options for entertainment as the weekend approaches. But with more than 8 million viewers tuning in, I would call it a win for CBS. Thieriot himself has a lot invested in his new series, as he’s not just starring in it, but he also co-created the series with producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Thieriot’s interest behind the camera began with directing an episode of “Bates Motel,” a series on A&E starring Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore. Thieriot played Dylan, the half-brother of the infamous Norman Bates. He then went on to direct a couple episodes of “SEAL Team.” *** Could you give me some information on Gabe Rygaard from “Ax Men” and Darrell Ward from “Ice Road Truckers?” — S.W. Gabe Rygaard was the owner of Rygaard Logging after his father, Craig, retired at the end of season six of the reality series “Ax Men.” Sadly, Rygaard died in a car accident in 2016 in Washington, where he lived. “Ax Men” aired on the History channel for 10 seasons. Rygaard’s death occurred after filming was completed for the ninth season. After a three-year hiatus, the show returned for just one more season.

Max Thieriot (“Fire Country”) Another tragedy struck the families of the History Channel when Darrell Ward of the “Ice Road Truckers” fame died in a plane crash, also in 2016. He was piloting a single-engine Cessna on the way back from a fan event in Dallas when it crashed in Montana. Ironically, just before his death, he was set to start filming a new documentary series about plane wreckage locations. *** I think Niecy Nash is fantastic in “The Rookie.” What else has she been in? — L.P. Niecy Nash has been acting on screen since the mid-1990s, but it was her hilarious role in the ensemble comedy “Reno 911!” that put her on the map. Since then, she’s effortlessly switched from comedy to drama in memorable lead and supporting roles, including two limited series on Netflix: “When They See Us” and “Dahmer — Monster.” Nash is no doubt thrilled to learn that ABC just renewed “The Rookie: Feds” for a total of 22 episodes this season.
