Timothy Hutton, Brittany Snow Are “Almost Family” In New FOX Drama By Jim Halterman

In Almost Family (Wednesdays on FOX), only child Julia Bechley (Brittany Snow) is shocked to learn — along with the rest of the world — that her father, renowned fertility doctor Leon Bechley (Timothy Hutton), regularly used his own genetic material to help pregnancy-challenged couples. Enter Edie Palmer (Megalyn Echikunwoke) and Roxy Doyle (Emily Osment), two of the many miracle babies Leon may have fathered and Julia’s possible half sisters. “It’s controversial subject matter,” says executive producer Annie Weisman. Here Hutton and Snow share their sides of the story.

TIMOTHY HUTTON

BRITTANY SNOW

What was your first meeting with Brittany like?

We met at the first table read. I had seen her in Pitch Perfect, and when I got the news she was playing the role, I was so happy.

How would you describe Leon and Julia’s relationship?

Very codependent. Because Julia’s mom, my wife, has passed away, they really just have each other … then trust gets thrown out the window, and they have a tremendous amount to work out.

What’s your character’s moral line?

He really believes he was simply helping people who were desperate and troubled by not being able to have children.

What does family mean to Leon?

That’s one of the big themes. He is going to have to step up as a parent, father, friend and person of emotional support. He’s been self-centered most of his life, so learning those things is going to be a challenge.

Rolling your tongue is a shared genetic trait we see in the show. Can you do it?

Yes, I can!

What was your first meeting with Timothy like?

Did he remember? Was it the table read? Yes! He’s very hard not to like, and he wears his heart on his sleeve, like I do.

How would you describe Julia and Leon’s relationship?

Very codependent, but he has forgotten how to be a parent, so she’s the parent to him. That dynamic shifts when he falls from grace.

What’s your character’s moral line?

Julia has a great moral compass. She really leads with her heart almost to her detriment and puts her needs on the back burner.

What does family mean to Julia?

At first, family means keeping everything copacetic and warm and loving. Then her new definition is that family is what you have to make of it. She’s going to have to deal with a lot of things that aren’t warm or loving.

Rolling your tongue is a shared genetic trait we see in the show. Can you do it?

Yes! I actually didn’t know that wasn’t a thing everyone could do!

These Five Deadly Femmes Unleashed The Dark Side Of The Silver Screen

By Eric Kohanik, ReMIND Magazine

A Touch Of Evil Call them femmes fatales or deadly dames or sinister sisters. Whatever name is given to them, they have been cultural icons for centuries.

In more recent times, there have been dozens and dozens of actresses whose characters have brought a memorable touch of femme fatale evil to the silver screen. Here’s a quick glimpse at five “deadly femmes” whose onscreen personalities and sometimes diabolical tactics have caused moviegoers to gasp:

Pola Negri

Credited as being Hollywood’s first femme fatale, Polish actress Pola Negri had a dark allure that stemmed from the early days of silent movies. She garnered worldwide publicity and fame for being the first European film star recruited by a Hollywood studio. Before long, Negri became known as the “Queen of Tragedy” in America, thanks to evil roles in a string of vintage films.

Gene Tierney

The most famous turn as a femme fatale for Gene Tierney was probably in the title role of 1944’s Laura, thanks to the unusual way in which Laura Hunt caused police detective Mark McPherson (Dana Andrews) to become obsessed with her while investigating her apparent death. But Tierney also proved herself to be a dangerously manipulative and pathological force when she donned the role of Ellen Berent Harland, a jealous woman who entraps her husband (Cornel Wilde) in another film noir gem: 1945’s Leave Her to Heaven.

Lana Turner

The role of Cora Smith in the 1946 version of The Postman Always Rings Twice did a lot to give the beautiful Lana Turner a deadly aura on the screen. But then, that was to be expected after Cora and her lover (John Garfield) murder her boring, older husband (Cecil Kellaway) in order for the two of them to work their way up in the world.

Ava Gardner

Ava Gardner honed her skills in bit parts until she landed the role of Kitty Collins, a glam gun moll who betrays her lover in the 1946 film adaptation of Ernest Hemingway’s The Killers. Other vampy roles soon followed, earning her a seductress reputation that she augmented offscreen with three Hollywood marriages (Mickey Rooney, bandleader Artie Shaw and Frank Sinatra) and an international cadre of lovers that included bullfighters, playboys and other bons vivants.

Peggy Cummins

As a trigger-happy sharpshooter named Annie Laurie Starr, Peggy Cummins displayed a memorable penchant for crime in a 1950 movie called Gun Crazy. The story takes a big turn after she convinces her boyfriend/husband (John Dall) to become part of her crime spree. As you might expect, things don’t end well.

Redneck Chronicles Melinda Frye Toney, 44, of Oak Hill, West Virginia, was charged with wanton endangerment on Aug. 22 for brandishing a pistol in the parking lot of the New Life Apostolic Church on May 11. It seems Melinda, wife of Pastor Earl Toney, and Lori Haywood, 29, wife of Youth Pastor David Haywood, had an ongoing conflict, according to a police spokesman. Fayette County Sheriff’s Detective Kevin Willis told the Register-Herald of Beckley, West Virginia, that the “straw that broke the camel’s back” was an argument over a T-shirt Lori Haywood wore to a church event. The two couples met at the church that day to try to hash out the wives’ differences, but, said Willis, “(I)t just made it worse, I think.”

Melinda Toney left the meeting and went to her car, where she retrieved her firearm. When Pastor Earl moved to stop his wife, the gun discharged. Det. Willis confirmed that Melinda Toney had a concealed weapon permit.

including Sharonville.) The officers who confiscated the weed were arresting the man’s wife, whom he identified as Marilyn Manson during the call, when they found the contraband in her purse. In a second call to police, the caller also complained that the officers had taken his carryout order from Red Lobster. “It was a fresh meal of Cajun f-ing pasta!” he ranted. Fox19 reported that a police supervisor later met with the man to clarify the laws about marijuana and explain what had happened to his dinner.

The Sharonville, Ohio, police department found a way to turn a resident’s misconceptions about marijuana laws in Hamilton County into a teaching moment on Sept. 3. The department posted on its Facebook page a recording of a call received on Aug. 25 from “Mr. Marilyn Manson,” who complained that “two Sharonville cops ... stole my fing weed last night.” The angry man insisted that anything “under 100 grams is cool, right?” but was, in fact, wrong.

merous doctors,” Yaramati said. “So this is the happiest time of my life.” The Washington Post reported that Yaramati had already gone through menopause, so a donor’s egg was fertilized with her husband’s sperm, then implanted in her uterus. Her doctors, who claimed she is the oldest person in the world to give birth, delivered the twins via cesarean section.

— Residents of Kaysville, Utah, have reported two incidents when a drone has approached them, identified itself as belonging to the Kaysville Police Department and issued directions to them. On Sept. 8, a drone told people walking on the campus of Davis Technical College to evacuate, although it didn’t specify why. Earlier, a couple walking their dog were followed by a drone that told them to take their dog inside, Kaysville police officer Alexis Benson told Fox 13. Benson said even if the department owned a drone (which it doesn’t), it wouldn’t use it to issue evacuations or make commands. She also warned that impersonating the police is a crime.

Wait, What?

New for 2019, Mattel is releasing a Dia de los Muertos Barbie. That’s right, Day of the Dead Barbie, celebrating the traditional Mexican holiday honoring ancestors. She arrives wearing a full-length embroidered dress and traditional

skull-like face-painting representing the dead. Dia de los Muertos is celebrated from Oct. 31 through Nov. 2, and the doll’s designer told ABC7 he wants to expand awareness about the holiday.

The Continuing Crisis

The SC-Club, a nightclub in Nantes, France, is celebrating its fifth anniversary with a new attraction — robot pole dancers. The bots will wear high heels and sport a CCTV camera for a head, along with mannequin parts overlaid on their robot bodies, reported Sky News on Sept. 1. The camera/head is designed to “play with the notion of voyeurism,” designer Giles Walker explained. Club owner Laurent Roue assured patrons the robots won’t replace his 10 human dancers.

Bright Idea

The town of Porthcawl, Wales, is fighting back against the misuse of its public toilets by installing high-tech loos with water jets that will spray users who are smoking or taking drugs — or having sex. Sky News reported on Aug. 17 that the new stalls will have weightsensitive floors to make sure only one person is using the facilities at a time, and the walls will be graffiti-resistant. There will also be a time limit to discourage overnight campers.

Minot (N.D.) Daily News, TRADING POST, October 1, 2019 3

BY TERRY AND KIM KOVEL A pottery ring about 8 inches in diameter was auctioned recently and few seemed to understand how it was used. The pottery was shaped like a tube bent into a circle with an opening at the top. It is a 19th-century stoneware ring flask. Farmers worked in the fields all day and they could carry water in the flask. It was worn on the shoulder, so water was always available. This flask was glazed to look like it is made of pottery, but many examples were more elaborate with incised colored decorations, faces or other slightly raised decoration.

The idea of a ring flask dates to the ancient Chinese. Examples with little decoration and no signature sell for about $300 to $500. Those by well-known makers can get over $500.

Q. How much are Nancy Ann Storybook dolls worth?

I have about 10 dolls in their original clothes, all in good condition.

A. Nancy Ann Storybook dolls were first created by Nancy Ann Abbott in 1936.

She started Nancy Ann Dressed Dolls in San Francisco in 1937. Bisque dolls were made in Japan until 1939, when production began in California. Artists painted the facial features.

The company name became Nancy Ann Storybook Dolls Inc. in 1945. The company was the nation’s largest dollmaker in the late 1940s. After Abbott died in 1964, sales declined. The company went bankrupt in 1965 and was sold. Hard plastic dolls were made in Hong Kong beginning in 1967. Production ended about 1971. The company was sold twice since then and several new Nancy Ann Storybook Dolls were made in limited quantities.

The last company ceased

production in 2019. Collectors look for the original Nancy Ann Storybook dolls and prefer the early bisque dolls. Rare early bisque dolls made in Japan, in original costume and with box, have sold for $1,200. Early Nancy Ann Storybook Dolls were identified by a gold sticker on the front of their clothing.

Wrist tags were used beginning in 1941. Girl dolls always wear a hat or a ribbon in their hair.

A. This is a relic from the Greek Civil War that raged from 1946 to 1949. Greek guerilla forces that helped chase Germany out of Greece at the end of World War II formed the Greek Democratic Army, which was controlled by the Greek Communist Party and supported by Albania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia.

They fought against the Greek National Army, which was supported by Great Britain and the United States.

The words are Greek and stand for Chania, Crete. The date marks the end of the civil war. Trench art sells by size and decoration. Vases are the most common pieces and sell for about $40 to $200.

Q. I like to do upholstery and have four barrel-shaped club or pub style chairs that I planned to recover. The chairs have dark wood with green leather upholstery and are very worn. But someone pointed out a Karpen tag on one, told me they are very rare and that, to maintain their value, maybe they should not be refinished. Is there value to keeping them as-is? Please help.

A. Solomon Karpen started a furniture workshop in Chicago in 1880. One by one, his eight brothers joined the business, called S. Karpen & Bros. By 1900, it was the largest manufacturer of upholstered furniture in the world. By 1927, Karpen had also built factories in Long Island City, New York; Michigan City, Indiana; and Los Angeles, employing 1,800 workers. The company made an endless variety of chairs for every need, budget and decorating plan. Karpen was in business until 1952. It sounds like your chairs are in distressed condition. Any value they might have would be sentimental, so go ahead and re-finish, re-cover and enjoy them!

Q. How can I find out what sheet music from the 1920s through 1970s is worth? I know they aren’t of great value, but it seems some people would enjoy them.

A. Most old sheet music sells online for about $5 to $10, unless it has some special appeal. Prices can be higher if the subject or composer are of special interest.

Some collectors buy sheet music just for the cover art. If you don’t want to bother trying to sell your sheet music online, take it to a local music store, used bookstore or to a store that sells vintage items and see if they’re interested in buying it to sell.

Q. My grandfather had a trench art shell casing and I have it now. It has etched designs and the front reads “XANIA KPHTH — 1949.”

What is its history, the meaning of the lettering and its value?

Darin Erstad speaks at the joint service clubs meeting in Minot last week. At left are Minot State University President Steve Shirley and Norsk Hostfest President David Reiten, and at right is Minot Mayor Shaun Sipma.

Recalling life’s heavy hitters: Opportunity never had to knock twice for ND’s Erstad

Darin Erstad believes in grasping opportunities. The former Major League Baseball player credits many of his opportunities to his parents and the people who supported him along the way.

An inductee into this year’s Scandinavian Hall of Fame, Erstad spoke last Tuesday at the annual joint service clubs meeting in Minot. In a speech touched with heartfelt gratitude and humor, Erstad spoke not of the great ball players he encountered but the people who opened the doors of opportunity for him.

“My whole point is – opportunities. You get opportunities. Thankfully, I was brought up the right way, that I was ready for those opportunities,” Erstad said.

Steve Shirley, Minot State University president, introduced Erstad by noting the Jamestown native has had a “tremendous life of philanthropy, service and giving back to his local communities and, simply put, might be the finest athlete ever to come out of North Dakota. We are proud to call him one of our own.”

The outfielder and first baseman spent 14 years in the major league, compiling nearly 1,700 hits, 700 runs batted in and 125 home runs. He was a two-time All Star and three-time Gold Glove recipient.

Erstad earned All American status playing baseball for the University of Nebraska and also was a member of the 1994 National Championship Cornhusker football team, for which he was punter. He was inducted last year into the university’s Athletics Hall of Fame.

He was the number one draft pick in 1995 and went on to win a World Series title with the Anaheim Angels in 2002. He later coached baseball at the University of Nebraska, retiring this year to spend more time with his wife, Jessica, and their three children.

Erstad was accompanied to Minot by his parents, Chuck and Dorothy, now of Fargo, and sister Heidi of Brookings, South Dakota. He also has a brother in Fargo who was unable to make the trip.

Driving across the state to Minot, Erstad said, his mind drifted back to the many games he played in the different towns. He said he could feel the hairs on his neck stand up when Minot came into view.

“I just had nightmares of Philion skating circles around us, and Blessum smashing me into the boards and losing by about nine goals in hockey. So I have a lot of great memories of here,” he joked to the crowd’s laughter.

“But I do want to talk about North Dakota being the foundation of who I am and what I’ve became and what I’m still working on becoming. The one thing I have to tell anybody about North Dakota is it’s about the people,” he said. “I had the opportunity to have people affect my life in a positive way.”

The first influence on his life was his parents, he said.

His father was busy in the insurance business, but he never was too busy to spend time with his children, establishing himself as a role model for Erstad with his family.

“What they did for us is they said, ‘Have fun. Try it all,’” he recalled of his parents. “Empty the tank with what you are doing. Give your best effort. Find what you love.”

He also singled out the baseball enthusiast who performed upkeep on Jamestown’s field. He would throw the ball around with Erstad during the day when his parents were at work.

“He made coming to the field fun,” Erstad said.

He recalled his first Legion coach, who put him on the mound when he was 14.

“I got to face Minot as a 14-year-old,” he said. “We held our own, but it was a great opportunity for me, and I took advantage of it.”

He mentioned his Legion coach from Nebraska, who interested the University of Nebraska in looking at this North Dakota kid.

Joining the Angels, the worst organization in baseball in 1995, might not have seemed like an opportunity. But six years later, Erstad helped the Anaheim Angels win the World Series.

Erstad joked that no one retires from baseball.

“The Grim Reaper taps you on the shoulder and says you’re not good enough. Stop with the ‘I’m retiring. I don’t want to play anymore.’ Yeah, right. You’re not good enough. Just get over it,” he quipped.

When it happened to him, he began to look at what he was going to do with the rest of his life.

“Thankfully, Coach (Tom) Osborne was athletic director and he gave me the opportunity to coach at Nebraska in baseball. I had never even thought about coaching,” he said. “My passion has always been baseball, but my purpose in life has been to get to the big leagues, win a World Series.”

Then his wife told him she’d question his mental capacity if he made his goal anything other than influencing the lives of youth in a positive way.

Serving as head coach at the university for eight years was his opportunity to be that influence, he said. His decision to step down came about as he considered how his parents were always there for him. He realized it was time to show that support to his own children.

“I don’t want to miss our kids growing up, and now I’m in a position to affect our own kids’ lives in a positive way – to help coach hockey, be there for our daughter’s dance, and go to their baseball games,” he said. “In fact, this summer. I’ve watched more baseball games than I have ever watched coaching and recruiting, just watching our kids play. And it was awesome.”

cil has often been accused of being just a rubber stamp on the budget,” Podrygula said. Unlike the processes of the past that resulted in a staff-created budget followed by the council president’s recommendations, the council has had a strong role in developing the budget over many months, he said.

“The president’s budget message has become superfluous beCowbelle’s day cause it’s been our budget all along. It’s been the public’s budget,” Roosevelt Park Zoo in Minot observed National Black- he said. “This is the best process I have ever seen – the most open Footed Ferret Day on Thursday with special activities planned. process, the most debated about process – and we’ve come toThe day was being observed along with other zoos with gether.” black-footed ferrets.

The zoo is home to Cowbelle, a 5-year-old female blackfooted ferret who came to the zoo from the National BlackFooted Ferret Conservation Center in Colorado, said Jennifer Kleen, Minot Zoo Crew executive director.

The zoo’s first black-footed ferret named OshKosh made the Minot zoo the 22nd zoo in the country to be home to a blackfooted ferret, Kleen said. OshKosh died in early August. Cowbelle arrived a few weeks later.

Black-footed ferrets, thought to be extinct twice, are being reintroduced in the wild, Kleen said.

She said staff at the Minot zoo are actively involved in field conservation efforts for the black-footed ferret (BFFs). Groups of keepers, along with Prairie Wildlife Research organization, have four conservation trips planned for the Wall, S.D., area in the next weeks. One of the trips left on Sept. 16. The last trip will be just prior to Halloween, Kleen said.

“On these conservation trips we ‘spotlight’ for the nocturnal BFFs for head counts, vaccines and sometimes they’re lucky enough to find wild-born BFFs that they tag,” Kleen said.

Council finalizes record budget

Minot property owners will see a decline in taxes paid to city government in a $275 million budget approved by the city council for 2020 last Monday.

The budget calls for about $275 million in record spending, much of it for flood protection and the Northwest Area Water Supply Project. The proposed mill levy will go down from 129.23 mills to an estimated 121.29 mills. At that mill levy, a Minot home at the median value of $179,000 would pay $977 in city taxes. A Minot home at the median value of $178,000 in 2019 paid $1,035.

The only rate increases are small adjustments in airport fees and city bus rates.

Council member Josh Wolsky cast the only vote against the budget. Among his concerns were lack of money in the budget to begin the landfill relocation process, the amount of increase in personnel costs and the pace of economic development.

Wolsky noted personnel costs are up 3.8% when accounting for the transfer of city recreation staff to the park district.

“That is a rate of growth that is a little above inflation, and I am not suggesting that I have any faults with our employees or we want to be punitive with the way we operate,” he said. “I just look at that number and it gives me cause for pause and concern, because if we were to do that on an ongoing basis, I think the cost of this government accelerates at a rate that is beyond what the taxpayers can bear.”

Wolsky added he would like the see more aggressive spending toward meeting the goals outlined in a city economic development report.

“I would simply count myself as one who wants to go further faster,” he said.

Additionally, he took issue with prioritizing efforts to keep the tax rate flat over controlling costs. Focusing on tax rate obscures the transparency of some elements of the budget, he said.

“I would rather be working in terms of real dollars rather than tax rates,” Wolsky said.

Regarding the landfill, Public Works Director Dan Jonasson said the budget includes $350,000 that can be put toward the future of the landfill, including looking at different locations.

Council member Shannon Straight supported the budget but said the public deserves a discussion on spending of hub city funding from the state.

Many residents also want to see the return of community facility dollars, he said. Sales tax dollars for community facilities had been redirected to help fund flood protection and the Northwest Area Water Supply project.

Council member Stephan Podrygula praised the process that went into drafting the budget.

A complete remodel of the Dakota Memorial School at Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch is helping the third through 12th graders at the school learn in a calmer environment, said principal Tina DeGree and superintendent Marcia Bartok.

The old, open layout of classrooms at the school sometimes interfered with learning for students who might also have been distracted from academics by trauma they had experienced in their lives or other special needs, said Bartok and DeGree.

The remodel was completed over the summer with funding from grants and generous donors. The project cost about $250,000 to complete.

When the kids – currently 58 students – and teachers started classes in August, they were all excited, said DeGree.

Some of the classrooms are set up with furniture designed specifically for kids who are dealing with tough issues. One side of a table might be smooth or another fuzzy because kids like to finger the table. There are rockers so kids can rock back and forth.

There are sound absorption panels in the classroom that help cut down on distracting noise.

The remodel was done in such a way that the class is a “trauma sensitive environment” that can help calm down a child so his or her brain will be able to focus on learning instead of the trauma he might have experienced.

Different age levels also have different needs, with younger elementary students needing the space to play and move around and older kids needing different settings.

A playground was also added where the children can play.

Kids at the Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch, which is a residential treatment center and also offers a day treatment program, are referred there for various reasons and by different entities.

Bartok and DeGree said the Dakota Memorial School is the school where many of the youngsters find academic success for the first time. For some of the kids, success is being able to sit through a lesson for longer than they have ever managed before. Teachers then build on that success and kids become more confident in their abilities.

DeGree and Bartok said the average student at the Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch is there for between six and 18 months.

Losing More Than You Gain

Q

Is it crazy to borrow against a credit card in order to invest in stocks? — S.G., Santa Maria, California It’s not a good idea, because you’ll likely end up paying more than you earn.

Over many decades, the U.S. stock market has grown by close to 10% per year — but that’s just on average. In some years it has lost more than 20% (though, of course, it also occasionally soars more than 20%), and it can fall or be stagnant for some years.

Meanwhile, the average interest rate charged by credit cards was recently near 18% — and many people, especially those with poor credit records, are being charged much more than that. If you invest in stocks with money borrowed this way, you’re likely to end up deeper in debt in the long run. *** How often are companies added to or removed from the Dow Jones Industrial Average? — R.A., Columbus, Ohio Some years see several changes to the index, while many years pass with no changes. For context, note that the Dow began in 1896 with just 12 companies in it, but in 1928, it expanded to the 30 berths it offers today. Companies are added when they gain stature, or removed when they lose importance or cease operaopera tions, while the index maintains a mix of industries.

Until 2018, General Electric was the only original component still in the Dow, but it was replaced by Walgreens Boots Alliance that year. In 2015, Apple replaced AT&T. In 2013, Nike, Visa and Goldman Sachs replaced Alcoa, Hewlett-Packard and Bank of America. In 2009, Cisco Systems and Travelers replaced General Motors and Citigroup.

Is Your Home Sufficiently Insured?

If you’re a homeowner, you know that you need home insurance. But make sure you have all the coverage you need. Your insurance policy should probably cover the following items: • The structure of your house: Don’t base the replacement cost of your home on what you paid for it; the cost to rebuild it today may be much higher than its original purchase price.

Don’t base it on the value of the land, either — you’re not replacing the ground around you.

• Your personal possessions: Take an inventory of your home’s personal property, especially high-priced items such as jewelry, furniture and electronic equipment.

Have your policy cover the cost to replace everything that might be lost to theft or destruction. If you think you need more than what the basic policies provide, talk to your agent.

• Additional living expenses

if you can’t live in your home: Standard policies often cover additional living expenses up to 20% of the total coverage amount.

Some policies pay unlimited expenses for a short period of time, while others cover special situations, such as renting out your home.

• Liability protection: Most policies provide a base of $100,000 to $300,000 to cover your liability, should you be sued as a homeowner.

Defending a lawsuit can be costly, so consider getting more, especially if you have a lot of assets.

• Umbrella insurance: Umbrella insurance isn’t directly connected to your home, but it could help you keep your home if you’re sued for a lot. It can be a smart purchase for those with a lot of assets — plus, it’s generally not too costly.

• Special coverage: If your home is vulnerable to floods, earthquakes or other disasters, it’s wise to add coverage for your specific risk.

(Remember that a standard home insurance policy doesn’t cover every possible kind of loss.) Learn about the risks, and how much coverage costs, before signing up or passing on it.

My Dumbest Investment

The Motley Fool Take

Star Power

Sprinting Ahead

My dumbest investment was when I shorted Jack in the Box back in May because Kim Kardashian tweeted negatively about it. — P.S., online The Fool Responds: That was a bit of a weird episode, with Kim Kardashian West tweeting: “Hey, Jack In The Box I have a serious complaint but I won’t fully put you on blast, check your corporate email inbox or send me a DM with direct person for my team to contact. Pronto!”

That was rather vague, but still had an impact, as West’s Twitter account has more than 61 million followers. It’s fine to take any negative comment about a company seriously, as it might point to a serious, and consequential, problem — but it’s best not to act rashly, without more information.

For starters, you should determine what the problem is and whether it appears to be a temporary or lasting one. Many companies have suffered from bad press from celebrities. A major burrito chain, for example, saw its stock drop nearly 6% after a Broadway star blamed it for an illness. A social media site’s stock plunged more than 8% — shedding more than $1 billion in market value — after Kylie Jenner tweeted that she wasn’t using it anymore.

Keep in mind, too, that some celebrities who post glowingly about various products or services may be paid to do so. Invest based on your own research.

Nike (NYSE: NKE) combines one of the world’s best-known brands with a highly profitable business model and an industry that sees consistent growth around the globe.

Sports have enduring popularity in nearly every corner of the world, and Nike has capitalized on that opportunity more than any other company through clever marketing campaigns, top-notch products and widely admired sponsors like LeBron James and Serena Williams.

Nike’s results are self-evident: The stock has returned around 45,000% since its 1980 initial public offering, and it is up almost 400% over the last decade. It has raised its dividend every year since 2004, usually by more than 10%. Nike’s dividend yield is modest at just 1% today, but so is its payout ratio — barely a third of profits go to quarterly payouts, so the company has plenty of room to continue raising its dividend.

In recent years, Nike has parried challenges from Under Armour and Adidas and continues to put up steady growth. Revenue grew 7% in fiscal 2019, to $39 billion, with net income topping $4 billion. Recent results have revealed accelerating sales in the U.S. market, strong growth in sales to women and a successful app driving sales.

Meanwhile, the emerging middle class in places such as China and India bodes well for Nike’s future.

Actress Sara Gilbert, star of the ABC comedy "The Conners," posing for a portrait in New York.

Sara Gilbert: 'The Conners' works because it's relatable NEW YORK (AP) — TV revivals are usually met with fanfare, but some — like "Murphy Brown" — failed to click with the audience. An exception is the sitcom "The Conners," a spinoff of "Roseanne."

Ratings for the first season of the series exceeded ABC's expectations. The second season launched Tuesday.

Sara Gilbert, who plays sarcastic single mom Darlene Conner, thinks "The Conners" works because it's relatable.

"We're just really lucky that it's a timely revival, that we're talking about the middle class and the struggle of the middle class and that's as relevant as ever," Gilbert said. "We're lucky that these characters resonate with people and people relate to them and I guess there's a timelessness about that."

"The Conners" follows the family of "Roseanne' as it struggles to make ends meet, squabbles and grieves the loss of its matriarch, who died from an opioid overdose.

The Roseanne" reboot was canceled by ABC in 2018 after star Roseanne Barr made a racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett, a former adviser to President Barack Obama. The network fired Barr. The comedian said she is not a bigot and apologized.

Asked if she feels there's less pressure now that the show has had a whole season without Barr, Gilbert focused on the cast.

"We love making the show and we always have loved making it," Gilbert said.

Though she's an executive producer on the series, Gilbert brushes off the notion that she

has any sort of boss status over castmates she began working with in the late 80s.

"I'm not really the boss," she said. "I feel like I'm trying to make them happy and make sure the show stays great for all the actors that are willing to do it and it's up to them every year if they want to come back and do it and I just feel like it's my job to make it a happy place to work with a great outcome."

Gilbert points out that it's hard to have a successful sitcom because many lack substance.

"They're usually pretty bad," she said. "Somebody that I know is studying writing and ... my advice to him was just to make it meaningful. Because I think the trap is people think 'Oh, it's just a sitcom' and they pick a silly circumstance or a silly story and there's no meat on the bone and I feel really the key is high stakes and conflict and the same things we deal with in all of our lives and then the lens is comedy, but the more important the problem really the funnier it can be."

Gilbert recently left the daytime talk show "The Talk ," which she created. She cited a need for work-life balance.

"I was talking to one of the executives there and when I was saying, 'Oh, I think it's time for me to go' and I felt guilty and she was saying, 'It's not like you're asking to leave after two years or something.'

So I felt like I put in the time, and if it felt right for me to leave personally. Then I thought, 'Well, probably somehow in the universe it makes sense and I'm not supposed to be here this year.'"

Oktoberfest has a great history of celebration HOOPSONHOPS

The long tradition of the Munich Oktoberfest began in 1810 with the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig von Bayern and Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen, and the entire population of Munich, Germany, was invited. Munich residents lovingly call the area on which the world’s largest folk festival has traditionally taken place since then as the ‘Wiesn’ (meadow).

This year, the festival began on Sept. 21, and as tradition dictates, will end the first weekend in October.

Often called Wiesn beer, Oktoberfest beers are lagers.

They are brewed in late spring and cold-matured all summer for release in September. They are brewed strictly according to the Bavarian beer purity law of 1516 and only from the best natural ingredients. The character of this typically light, bottom-fermented festival beer is deep golden to amber with balanced, harmonious malty notes and subdued hops. This is the medium-bodied, slightly sweet Wiesn Bier. At Hoops Brewing, we release our Wiesn beer on the eve of the German Oktoberfest as a nod to the tradition.

Most German Oktoberfests feature festbiers, but 99% of American Oktoberfest beers are NOT festbiers. A festbier is what we would think of as a session Oktoberfest, a bit lighter bodied and lighter colored, with an inviting sweetness. With that, I would suggest Spaten, Hacker Pschorr, Paulaner Wiesn, Surly Fest, Warstiener Weihenstephaner fest and the wonderful collaboration between Bitburger brewery in Bitburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, and Sierra Nevada from the U.S. These beers are the liquid version of fall colors, cool mornings and a bit of soul enriching to fill up as the winter comes.

From the famous festival in Munich each year to the multitude of Oktoberfest parties easy to find this time of the year in Minnesota, the celebrations all highlight the same great things.

Tasty food

Spit-roasted chicken, Wurst (sausage), huge soft pretzels with mustard, Knodel (potato dumplings), and for dessert, strudel featuring apple or cranberries.

Music

The band at the festival is always the star, from yodeling to the chicken dance to the massively popular sing-a-longs of Ein Prosit (“a toast”), karaoke-style group bellowing of “I think were alone now,” “Sweet Caroline” and the John Denver classic “Country Roads.” Singing and drinking beer seem to be intertwined during Oktoberfest.

Outfits

Men wear Lederhosen (tight leather pants with suspenders) and long-sleeve, button-up Trachten shirts in a plaid pattern of red or blue, with a felt hat sporting a pheasant feather, which in the old days, was a sign of wealth.

Women sport Dirndls, a tight-fitting dress with an apron tied around it, often white and somewhat low-cut.

Nearly everyone has seen the photos of the servers in Germany at the festival wearing the Dirndl and carrying the mind-blowing eight liters of beer in each hand — an amazing 24 pounds per hand!

The fair

These events always feature games of skill, such as beer stein races (you spill, you lose), beer pong, stein holding (holding a full stein in front of you until the arm gives out). Feats of strength, such as the keg toss and hay bale toss, are popular.

There’s also the classic Hammerschlagen. Each player is assigned a nail. Each player’s turn consists of a single swing at their nail with the wedge end of a cross peen hammer. The swing must be done in one continuous up-and-down motion. The object is to be the first one to pound in the head of the nail flush with or below the surface of the wood. Often, only one swing is allowed, and the player who sinks the nail deepest wins.

As to souvenirs, it seems like returning home with your own one-liter stein or a competitive T-shirt is a must.

As you probably have figured, I am a huge Oktoberfest fan. I have attended the festival in Munich seven times so far and have attended many versions here in the U.S. This is a beer style, culture and mindset to embrace.

Welcome to fall. Enjoy, everyone!

Potatoes for Pinterest I recently heard a young woman say “I have earned my PhD, I figured out calculus, and admit that I am a wiz at Pinterest, but I can’t even do a decent baked potato.” So I took this as a sign to write about not only baked potatoes, but an easy potato recipe that would be worthy of a Pinterest post.

Times are changing.

There was a time when you perfected or found a good recipe you would proudly submit it to the church, community, or workplace cookbook. Now days when you have swooned a recipe to perfection, you take a picture of it and post it for all the world to see. So here comes the duo— baked potato tips and a recipe worthy of a post.

Building a collection of tasty potato recipes isn’t too different from building collection of useful vintage mixing bowls. It starts with laying the foundation— with mixing bowls it would be the large yellow Pyrex bowl. With potato recipes is could be Aunt Mildred’s successful mashed potato recipe where she claims putting in the butter before the heavy cream will bring about a fluffy heavenly mound ready for gravy. Another tasty recipe could be crispy pan fried potatoes where the trick is not too much butter, and only turning the gathered souls once.

We are moving on to baked potato avenue – lots to experiment with here. I have to admit that I am not a microwave person; however, I have had a delicious moist baked potatoes from a microwave; the trick here is the new higher powered ovens. There is something wonderful about popping a potato in to cook and serving it minutes later with high fives from those gathered around the red gingham tablecloth. It is important to elevate the potato on a rack and cook until the outside feels slightly soft. Next, let it stand a few minutes to finish cooking before cutting into it. Think of it this way –we often take cookies out of the oven before they are completely done and let them stand to finish baking. The same rule applies here.

Since microwave potatoes are not cooked with hot, dry air, a perfected microwaved potato can retain savory moisture and can easily be served without butter and sour cream.

Dressing it out with a dash of salt and pepper and a splash of lemon juice makes it the perfect pal for the weight-conscious diner. The facts are in the numbers and a medium potato prepared in this manner contains approximately 100 calories. If you are planning to attend your class reunion and wish to slip back into your prom dress, this potato method will aid in your endeavors.

Are you a red or white baked potato person? While growing up in Underwood, each fall LeRoy Hoff would gather many students for a potato picking day. He grew wonderful potatoes west of town; his red potatoes were a favorite in our home. I can still recall the smell of those

Let’s Cook

BY CHUCK REPNOW

new potatoes, dirt, and gunny sacks. My mother preferred to not wrap potatoes— baking them uncovered at 350 degrees for an hour to create a crusty skin.

Once the potato pulp was removed, we created a potato boat from the skins and they were delicious drizzled with butter. So preferring red or white is often a preference and being open to experience new varieties of potatoes is also fun. Yukon gold potatoes are a great example of venturing away from the traditional red or white. Their butter gold color and flavor is most inviting and offers us the chance to change up recipes by swapping out the traditional red or white for gold.

Potatoes are a favorite in the Repnow home. We enjoy potato soup, potato pancakes, and homemade hash browns, in addition to the usual baked and mashed. Miss Lydia continues to indulge in reminding me that “Dad there are many more potato recipes you can be trying out on mom and me.” So far, I have not heard this “There must be something else you can make with potatoes.”

That must mean that different approaches are working to date.

We recently tried this Au Gratin potato recipe. After serving it, we decided that it could be a visitor again at our table. It has been added to our collection of tasty potato recipes.

AU GRATIN POTATOES

This recipe comes from Roxann Hayhurst of Minot and was featured in Klebe Family cookbook, “Good Food is a Klebe Family Affair.”

2 pounds of potatoes (about 6 medium) 1 cup butter 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups (8 oz) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (reserving 1/2 cup) 1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs 1 medium onion 1 to 2 tablespoons flour 1/2 teaspoon white pepper 2 cups milk Paprika

Wash and peel potatoes and cut into even thin slices. Cook and stir onion and butter in a 2-quart saucepan until tender. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until bubbly, remove from heat. Stir in milk and 1 1/2 cups of the cheese. Heat to boiling with constant stirring and boil for 1 minute.

Place potatoes in an ungreased 1 1/2 quart casserole. Pour cheese sauce over potatoes.

Bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 1 hour. After potatoes have baked for 40 minutes remove them from oven and combine reserved 1/2 cup cheese with 1/4 cup bread crumbs and sprinkle on top of potatoes. Garnish with paprika and return to oven for the additional 20 minutes.
