There’s a new sheriff in town: Stephen Dorff stars in ‘Deputy’ By KATE HAHN

There’s a new Los Angeles County sheriff in town: grizzled tough guy Bill Hollister, played with subtle swagger and a watchful eye by gravelly voiced Stephen Dorff (True Detective). Hollister gets a promotion from the titular Deputy in the midseason-premiering FOX drama (Thursdays beginning Jan. 2) to head honcho thanks to an obscure rule in the county charter invoked when his boss dies unexpectedly. Hollister, a mounted-unit old hand, first responds: Take this job and shove it. But the responsible realist soon agrees to an emergency swearing-in — at the scene where he has just ended a spectacular car chase with a neat cowboy trick. “Bill is just an old, hard chargin’, horse-ridin’ deputy,” says executive producer and director David Ayer, the writer of gritty, realistic, L.A.-set police thrillers Training Day (2001) and End of Watch (2012), who’s making his TV debut (the script is by former LAPD detective Will Beall). “Hollister does the right thing even if it’s difficult or gets him in trouble. It’s been fun and interesting to bring that as a framework to modern issues and problems. He’s Cowboy 2.0.” The top lawman’s arrogant, by-the-book former superiors aren’t thrilled when Hollister — after doing a piece of official business by making a brief speech to some graduating deputies including his deceased partner’s son, earnest and soon-to-be-in-jeopardy Deputy Joseph Blair (Shane

Do you like the Mandalorian’s short episodes?

Question: Do you think the Disney+ series The Mandalorian might start a new trend of shorter episode lengths for streaming shows? As someone who has endured the interminable length of so many Netflix shows — is there an episode of a Marvel series that wouldn’t have benefited from being 15 minutes shorter? — I’m finding the shorter episode length of The Mandalorian refreshing. —Darren Matt Roush: I couldn’t agree more, and I can only hope other shows would follow The Mandalorian’s lead and realize that just because streaming gives you the freedom to fashion episodes of any length, that doesn’t mean it should always be an endurance test. (That groan my co-workers often hear is when I cue up another episode of a Netflix or other streaming series — Castle Rock, I’m thinking of you, too — and realize from the time code that it’s going to occupy at least a full hour of my time.) One of the virtues of The Mandalorian is its economy within each episode, its tight focus with minimal filler. The cinematic wipes between scenes also keep the pace brisk. Another thing I enjoy about The Mandalorian is the weekly scheduling of new episodes. If the whole season had dropped at once, like most Netflix shows do, what are the odds we’d still be obsessing on Baby Yoda weeks later? There are lessons to be learned here.

timately, he’s a good man trying to do his best,” says Van Holt, who comes from a family of cops and could immediately relate to the role. They’re joined by the new head of Hollister’s security detail, young, smart Deputy

Brianna Bishop (scene stealer Bex Taylor-Klaus). Making the characters and their police work authentic is an Ayer trademark so the cast worked with consultants and deputies from the L.A. Sheriff’s Department. They did ride-alongs and just talked about the job. Dorff polished his equestrian skills (his horse Rain Man is a star himself, having just worked with Tom Hanks). And although most of the shooting is in Albuquerque, N.M., iconic Los Angeles locations get screen time, so the show feels grounded in the sprawling, diverse county. When Hollister kicks off his boots at home, he is kept in line by wife Dr. Paula Reyes (Yara Martinez, Jane the Virgin), a badass ER trauma surgeon he met 20 years ago when she stitched him up. “We’ll see the pressures of being in the public eye, and what that does to the family,” says Martinez, who got to know her costar when Ayer had them do martial arts at a dojo as he peppered them with questions. Emotion doesn’t take a back seat to the action, of which Deputy has plenty. “In Episode 2, I’m in a chopper and take down a cartel. It gets pretty gnarly,” Dorff says. Cases coming up include child abduction, high-end burglaries and smugglers bringing immigrants across the border. With L.A. County stretching from Malibu to the mountains, there’s plenty of crime to fight. “Bill’s a street deputy at heart,” Ayer says. “Sheriff is what he has to wrestle with and grow into.” We are so along for the ride.

News

Unclear on the Concept WJAR reported that an unnamed substitute teacher was fired on Dec. 16 for smoking marijuana in a classroom at North Attleborough High School in North Attleborough, Massachusetts. Peter Haviland, principal at the school, said students reported the incident and the teacher was removed from the school premises. Haviland also said the teacher not only used the drug, but led a discussion in class about marijuana. Campuses in the district are drugfree. Well, they were.

Update

Last year during the holiday season, former NASA engineer Mark Rober of Santa Clarita, California, created a glitter bomb exploding package in response to having a package stolen from his front porch. This year, Rober has a new and improved version: When it is touched, the BBC reported on Dec. 17, the box explodes in glitter and emits an unpleasant odor along with a soundtrack of police chatter. As a coup de grace, it also takes a video of the thief and uploads it to the cloud. One of the sponsors for Rober’s project is “Home Alone” actor Macaulay Culkin. Rober calls it a labor of love: “I have literally spent the last 10 months designing, building and testing a new and improved design for 2019,” he said.

Family Values

It may not be the oldest fruitcake still (mostly) uneaten, but it could be the most beloved. The Detroit

News reported that the Ford family of Tecumseh, Michigan, has been cherishing Fidelia Ford’s fruitcake since 1878 — over five generations. Julie Ruttinger, great-great-granddaughter to Fidelia, inherited the confection from her father, Morgan Ford, who kept it in an antique glass compote dish in his china cabinet until his death in 2013. It doesn’t much look, or smell, like a fruitcake anymore (“Smells like old people,” Morgan once said), but Ruttinger is determined to keep Fidelia’s legacy alive. Each year, Fidelia made a cake that was meant to age until the next Christmas season. But in 1878, she died before her cake could be enjoyed. When Morgan was buried, the family tucked a piece of the cake into his jacket pocket. “He took care of it to the day he left the Earth,” Ruttinger said. “We knew it meant a lot to him.”

Irony

Two workers with the Chicago Park District were spreading salt on an icy lakefront bike path on Dec. 11 when their pickup truck hit a slick spot and slipped into Lake Michigan, the Associated Press reported. It was halfway into the water before it got stuck on a breakwall. The workers were able to escape the truck and move to the shore uninjured. Park District spokesperson Michelle Lemons reminded Chicago residents that the path slopes toward the water and lake levels are high. “It might not look like it’s dangerous, but it could still be a sheet of glass,” she said.

Around 7:30 a.m. on Dec. 18, an unnamed 17-year-old girl jumped a fence at Fresno Yosemite International Airport in Fresno, California, and climbed into the cockpit of a private airplane parked there.

Oops

A driver in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England, caused an “enormous bang,” according to witnesses, on Dec. 14 when he lighted a cigarette in his closed car after spraying air freshener. Nearby buildings shook from the impact, and the car’s windshield was blown out, along with windows of nearby businesses, the Manchester Evening News reported. The driver sustained only minor injuries. West Yorkshire Police said the situation could have been worse and implored people to open their windows when using aerosol cans and open flames.

According to the New York Daily News, two men were fighting on the train around 6 p.m. when one of them, a 45-year-old, stabbed the other, 22, in the leg. Neither of the men was dressed as Santa, but the Santas on the train subdued the suspect until the train reached Queens. The victim was taken to a hospital, and the MTA arrested the stabber. — Security officers at Vilnius Airport in Lithuania got in the holiday spirit with confiscated items seized during the screening process, reported United Press International on Dec. 12. Apparently having a lot of time on their hands, the officers built a Christmas tree using items such as scissors, knives, lighters and other goods. Lithuanian Airports called the tree an “educational masterpiece” and warned: “If you don’t want your personal, yet prohibited, belongings to land on our next year’s Christmas tree — better check out the baggage requirements before you pack for your next flight.”

Minot (N.D.) Daily News, TRADING POST, December 31, 2019 3

BY TERRY AND KIM KOVEL Most glass bottles identified the contents inside with embossed letters on the container or a paper label. But a special group, usually apothecary bottles or special gifts, were made with “labels under glass.” The medical bottles usually had a label with a black name written in a fancy type style, gold leaf trim, plus a solid glass cover for the label. It was made to fit into a shaped indent on the side of the bottle, making a smooth bottle with a protected label. There also were bottles with labels under glass made with color pictures of attractive women, season’s greetings or other messages used for gifts, or barber product containers displayed in barber shops. They were made from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s. Decorative “back bar” bottles were often whiskey bottles refilled with colored water when the whiskey was sold. They were probably made before Prohibition. Condition of these bottles is important. The glass label may crack, and the glue used for the paper label discolors. A small, round flask with a label under glass picturing a girl was in the recent sale by Glass Works Auctions in East Greenville, Pennsylvania; it was made at the end of the 19th century and sold for $468. Q. I have a metal letter opener that says “American Malting Co., New York, Chicago, Milwaukee” on the handle. Can you tell me anything about it, possibly age and value? A. Letter openers were popular advertising giveaways. The American Malting Company made malt for breweries around the turn of the 20th century. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, grain was malted in small

malt houses throughout the United States. Profits were slim and competition was severe. Business often depended on friendships between maltsters and buyers. In 1896, Seymour Scott, a maltster in Lyons, New York, proposed the consolidation of several small maltsters in the area to increase efficiency and profits. It became The American Malting Company in 1897. By 1900, the company owned 38 malt houses and 41 grain elevators in several cities. The business didn’t do as well as expected and was reorganized as American Malt Corporation in 1905. The name on your letter opener shows it was made before the 1905 reorganization. Plain advertising letter openers sell for about $25. Those with insets, enamel decoration, engraving or other decorations can be more expensive. Tiffany letter openers sell for over $100. Q. I have many Beanie Babies bought back in the ‘90s, when they were the craze. I have many originals, including the purple Princess Diana bear. A couple of websites listed it for several thousand dollars, which I hardly think is possible. Where can I find out a true going value? A. The first Beanie Babies were issued in 1993 and sold for $5 each. Ty Warner, the creator of Beanie Babies, began retiring a few of the plush toys in 1995, and prices rose as collectors tried to find them. Some people collected them as an investment and paid several times the retail price for certain ones. The first Princess Diana Beanie Babies were made in August 1997, two months after Princess Diana’s death. They were made until April 1999. Proceeds were given to the Diana, Princess of

Wales Memorial Fund. Although there are online sites asking as much as $135,000 for the “first edition,” a First Edition Princess Diana bear stuffed with polyvinylchloride (PVC) is listed on Amazon for $39; a bear with polyethylene pellets (PE) for $22. Q. I bought a “personal wash set,” four pieces consisting of a chamber pot, pitcher and two smaller pieces. On the bottom they’re marked “Admiral V.P. Co.” I’ve searched online and can’t find any information on the company or item. It’s a pretty floral pattern, purple flowers on a white background, and is in very good shape. The seller thought the piece was made in the 1800s. Can you tell me anything about this set? A. Wash sets were used in the late 18th and early 19th centuries before indoor plumbing became common. A washstand, usually in the bedroom, held the items necessary to “wash up.” The pitcher was used to fill a washbasin or bowl. The chamber pot usually had a lid. Other pieces could include a soap dish, hair receiver, toothbrush holder and slop jar. This mark was used by Vodrey Pottery Company of East Liverpool, Ohio. The company made white graniteware and semi-porcelain. It was in business under that name from 1896 until 1928. A pitcher and bowl set from an average maker sells for $100 to $150, the slop jar with lid for about $75, and small pieces for

$25-$40. Q. My mother bought a Lefton Shoemaker figurine, No. 4718, over 40 years ago, and I was wondering how much it’s worth. It’s in excellent condition. A. The Geo. Zoltan Lefton Company was founded in 1941 by George Lefton (1906-1996), a Hungarian immigrant who was a sportswear designer and porcelain collector. He came to the United States in 1939 and founded his import company two years later. Pottery, porcelain, glass and other wares were imported from Japan, and later from Taiwan and Malaysia. The company was sold in 2001. Lefton figurines are selling for low prices, $12 to $50. TIP: You can tell a piece of jade by the feel. It will be cold, even in warm weather.

BOOKREVIEW

Author lays out sturdy case in ‘From Russia With Blood’ (AP) — In "From Russia with Blood: The Kremlin's Ruthless Assassination Program and Vladimir Putin's Secret War on the West," author Heidi Blake lays out a sturdy case that Russian President Vladimir Putin is a cold, treacherous thug who runs his country like a criminal cartel. But European and Asian leaders were so eager to welcome Russia into the family of free nations – and to buy Russian gas and oil – that they looked the other way as Putin consolidated his power and his opponents started turning up dead. Nervous parallels with U.S. President Donald Trump's administration emerge. Putin wants to "From Russia with "make Russia great again," Blood: The Kremlin's the author writes, underRuthless Assassinastandable perhaps given tion Program and the descent into chaos when the communists Vladimir Putin's Secret were driven from power, War on the West," only to be replaced by or- Mullholland Books, by ganized criminals who Heidi Blake looted the country. Putin made deals with crime bosses and began eliminating opponents and especially people whom he considered traitors. Putin, like Trump, also responds to accusations with aggressive counterattacks but he hasn't had to yell much. Instead, the book notes, he has charmed successive leaders in the United States and Britain. The author is an investigations editor at BuzzFeed News and this book is derived from extensive reporting by her team. The fact-by-fact attribution we're used to seeing in daily journalism is absent here, but this is nonetheless a compelling rendering of Putin's frightening extensions of power into Europe and the United States. Putin "helped propel Donald Trump to the White House through a concerted campaign of meddling," Blake writes. Moreover, she says, Russia's "hacking labs, internet troll factories and fake news farms had sown disunity, disruption and disinformation," and its financing of extremist fringe groups had stirred up racial hate and violence around the world. A generation ago, Russia threatened the U.S. with a mighty nuclear arsenal. It would have been impossible to envision in those days how successful Russia would be threatening the U.S. and Europe with computers, falsehoods and targeted assassinations. The threat today is no less daunting than those missiles and bombs half a century ago.

Netflix series examines 'perfect storm' that felled NFL star

BOSTON (AP) — More than two years after he killed himself in his prison cell, former NFL star Aaron Hernandez's story still fascinates — and now it's heading back to the small screen. Netflix is releasing "Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez" on Jan. 15. The threepart documentary examines the meteoric but troubled — and violent — rise and fall of the late New England Patriots tight end. A teaser for director Geno McDermott's film opens with chilling audio of a collect call Hernandez made to his fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins. Hernandez can be heard saying: "My whole body's shaking right now." Jenkins asks, "What happened?" and Hernandez re-

sponds: "You know my temper." In July, Hernandez's estate settled a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the families of two men he was acquitted of killing. Prosecutors alleged Hernandez fatally shot Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado in 2012 after a confrontation at a nightclub. Hernandez killed

himself in prison in 2017 while serving a life sentence for the 2013 murder of semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd. Hernandez's death came just a few days after he was acquitted of most charges in the double murder case. After his death, doctors found the 27-

year-old Hernandez had advanced chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a degenerative brain disease linked to concussions and other head trauma commonplace in the NFL. Transcripts the Bristol County sheriff released last year of more than 900 jailhouse telephone conversations Hernandez had with family and friends showed he expected to be released from jail and resume his football career shortly after his arrest for Lloyd's killing. Hernandez had a fiveyear, $40 million deal with the Patriots at the time of his arrest. McDermott and producer Terry Leonard say the latest

film will feature some of those phone calls as well as courtroom footage and interviews with those closest to Hernandez and Lloyd. The project, they said in a statement, "examines the perfect storm of factors leading to the trial, conviction, and death of an athlete who seemingly had it all." Filmmakers and authors have had no shortage of material to work with in recounting the story of the handsome, polite athlete from Bristol, Connecticut, who was a high school standout and an AllAmerican at the University of Florida before his three seasons with New England and subse-

quent fall from grace. A state police report of the investigation into Hernandez's death said the player wrote "John 3:16," a reference to a Bible verse, in ink on his forehead and in blood on a cell wall. The verse says: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." A Bible was nearby, open to John 3:16, with the verse marked by a drop of blood. And authorities said Hernandez was a member of the Bloods street gang and had been disciplined for having gang paraphernalia in prison.
