support those that have served in our military.

Are we at war are not Mr. President? It appears that we are, but others in the Presidents administration say we are not.

Regardless if we are, there are still thousands of men and women who are currently in harms way. But even those that are not or never have been in danger of being shot at, we need them to keep us safe here and abroad. This country was formed by individuals who risked their lives to form a free and independent country from others. Fortunately September 11th passed last week without any terrible incident. But we know all to well that even those that may be stationed on U.S. soil such as at the Pentagon, are never truly safe in our military.

Therefore everyone needs to be thankful that there are those that have been willing to join a branch of our service to defend the rights to be free.

Many of our veterans are members in various organizations such as the American Legion, AMVETS, VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars). Please support them with their open events.

For all their popularity, peppers are perplexing. There are the bell and the chili, there are some that start out sweet, then get a little hotter, and those that are hot, then get even hotter.

There are so many varieties that botanists are still counting them. It helps when choosing peppers to understand at least some of the differences.

Sweet peppers are the group that includes the bell, sweet cherry and sweet banana peppers. Most sweet peppers have thick flesh and are suitable for raw or cooked preparations, and they all have their own distinct flavor characteristics. Among the bell peppers alone, the taste will vary from the more pungent green to the very mellow yellow and gold. Hot peppers often are referred to as chili peppers and include the cayenne, jalapeno, hot banana, poblano and Anaheim. Some of these chilies also have thick flesh, and are good for raw as well as cooked preparations. Be aware of the heat scale before deciding on the right pepper for your dish.

Hot and sweet peppers are high in vitamins A, C and B-6, as well as carotenoids and flavonoids, which have been shown to have antioxidant and immune-enhancing benefits. While both sweet and hot peppers are members of the same family, the hot peppers are the ones that actually contain capsicum properties within its fruit. The medicinal and health benefits of capsicum are numerous, ranging from aiding in digestive health to pain treatment.

Peppers are good roasted, stuffed, fried or pickled, served with meats, cheeses or as a compliment to other vegetables. Peppers can be the condiment or the main dish, and even sweet peppers will stand out in any dish you add them to. This recipe for Sweet and Hot Pepper Jelly preserves the pepper in a flavorful way while showcasing the best of the season’s hot and sweet varieties.

BOOKS -Recommended Reading “Off the Leash: A Year at the Dog Park”

by Matthew Gilbert (Thomas Dunne Books, $25.99) Reviewed by Larry Cox Anyone who has ever been owned by a dog will appreciate this delightful new book.

When Boston Globe TV critic Matthew Gilbert began sharing his life with a Yellow Lab named Toby, certain adjustments had to be made.

One of those adjustments was frequent visits to his local dog park.

Gilbert -- who describes himself as basically an indoor guy, regularly connected to his TV and computer, and steeped in the visual, digital world -- had to rethink his daily life, and sharing it with a canine was not an easy transition.

He soon discovered Armory Park, overlooking Boston, and quickly became acquainted with the dog-park subculture.

His routine changed in ways he had never imagined.

Instead of finding an iPhone in his pocket, he was more likely to discover broken dog biscuits. His daily life was swept up in the chaotic energy of dogs and their owners, both species which seemed to gather in packs.

His visits to Armory Park were not always a walk in the park. For example, when dogs fight, their owners have been known to bare their teeth at each other, too. As dogs chase each other, steal each other’s toys and occasionally act up, people sometimes are even less controlled than in the more civilized parts of their lives. Gilbert claims that in a dog park, feelings surface faster ... unedited. In other words, the owners often are off their leashes, too.

Gilbert was especially surprised to find that his adventures with Toby at the dog park made him more spontaneous and, yes, playful.

When he let go of Toby’s leash, he also allowed himself to let go.

This is a heart-warming, humorous book that connects on several levels. It is the first look at dog parks and the part they play in the lives of both humans and their four-legged companions. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Vintage Neckties Q: My grandpa was a traveling salesman throughout the 1930s and ‘40s. He managed to accumulate more than 200 vintage neckties, and I inherited his collection a number of years ago. Some of the more interesting ones, at least to me, are the hand painted with Western themes. I am now in the process of downsizing and hate to just donate this collection to a charity. I hope you can recommend someone who would more fully appreciate these wonderful ties. -- Cynthia, Largo, Fla. A: Barry Hautala is a collector who has more than 10,000 neckties in his personal collection.

I spoke to him about the ones you have, and even though he said he has become extremely selective, he has agreed to advise you and share his expertise. His address is 1860 Greentree Drive, Plover, WI 54467.

He suggests you check out an excellent website www. kollectorsnastyoldties.com www.kollectorsnastyoldties. com(KNOT) for general information about this field of collecting. One of the better references is “Fit-To-BeTied” by Dr. Ron Spark and published by Abbeville Press. *** Q: My mom and I have collected salt and pepper shakers for more than 30 years. Can you recommend a good price guide to help us determine current values? -Peg, St. Charles, Mo. A: Although there are several guides available, I especially like the “Antique Trader Salt & Pepper Shaker Price Guide” by Mark F. Moran and published by Krause Books. More than 1,000 salt and pepper shakers are arranged into two sensible categories: shakers by form and shakers by maker. Each listing includes a color photo for positive identification, along with a description, history and pricing that I think accurately reflects the marketplace.

Q: Recently, I bought a set of four berry bowls in the Homespun pattern. They are pink in color. I paid $25 for the set of four at a church sale. Did I get a good bargain?

-- Susan, Chesterfield, Mo. A: According to “Warman’s Depression Glass: A Value and Identification Guide”

by Ellen T. Schroy and published by Krause Books, your pattern was made by the Jeannette Glass Company of Jeannette, Pa., between 1939 and 1949. Schroy lists your bowls for $15 each, so yes, you got a bargain.

HOLLYWOOD

By Tony Rizzo PHOTO: Sophia Loren HOLLYWOOD -- Even before the Valentine’s Day release of “50 Shades of Grey”, its star, Jamie Dornan, is red hot. In October, he starts shooting the psychological thriller “Ninth Life of Louis Drax,” from the Liz Jensen novel, and then in the spring, he’ll play Commandant Pat Quinlin, who led United Nations soldiers into “The Siege of Jadotville.” These two films are about as far as he can get from Christian Grey.

Sophia Loren, considered one of the last living movie stars from Hollywood’s Golden Era, will be feted Nov. 12 by the American Film Institute. It also will mark the 50th anniversary of “Marriage, Italian Style,” for which she received a best actress Oscar nomination in 1964.

Sophia, who won the first best actress Oscar for a foreign language film (“Two Women,” 1960), also starred in Hollywood films such as “Houseboat” with Cary Grant, “That Kind of Woman” opposite Tab Hunter, “It Started in Naples” with Clark Gable, “Arabesque” with Gregory Peck, “The Countess From Hong Kong” opposite Marlon Brando (directed by the great Charles Chaplin), “Man of La Mancha” with Peter O’Toole, “The Voyage” with Richard Burton, “Grumpier Old Men” with Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau and AnnMargret, and 2009’s “Nine” with three-time Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis and Oscar winners Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench and Nicole Kidman. Her co-stars have been a virtual Who’s Who of movies.

Film makers are forever fascinated with Abraham Lincoln. In 2012, “Lincoln” won Daniel Day-Lewis his third Oscar, and despite its $65 million price tag still grabbed $275 million at the box office. Now a documentary film, “The Gettysburg Address,” written, produced and directed by Sean Conant, is coming our way. It has a great cast that includes Jason Alexander, Ed Asner, Matthew Broderick, Sam Elliott, Cary Elwes, Delmot Mulroney, George Takei, Tom Brokaw ... and David Morse as Lincoln.

Not all historic films succeed. “Parkland,” released last year, was produced by Tom Hanks and Bill Paxton, and cost $10 million to make. Despite The Washington Post ranking it the sixth-best film made about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and a great cast that included Billy Bob Thornton, Tom Welling, Paul Giamatti, Zac Efron, Colin Hanks, Ron Livingston and Marcia Gay Harden, it only grossed $1.4 million. People apparently weren’t interested in the hospital or staff that treated JFK after his assassination.

How the mighty have fallen! Piers Morgan, who went from London tabloid writer to a judge on “America’s Got Talent” and then Larry King’s talk-show replacement, has been named the most hated personality from the United Kingdom on Twitter. Guess he’s not well-liked by his PEERS! (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

SHAKE AND MAKE BUTTER

Old-Fashioned Fun With Butter Making

ANSWERS

As technology advances at a rapid rate, many of the traditional ways of doing things may be unknown to kids born in the 21st century. Why not take a break from our high speed, techie lifestyle and experience with kids and grandkids some of the old-fashioned ways of playing and working?

Whether it’s cranking homemade ice cream on a warm evening after putting on a puppet show, playing bean bags, walking on stilts or stacking wood for a night around the fireplace, the games and chores can be fun learning opportunities.

Simple techniques from earlier days can be found at living museums, history museums, libraries and in your own homes with treasured photos, antiques in the attic and stories from your kids’ greatgrandparents.

To get started, here’s a way of taking back history with your family any time of year. Make your own butter!

Here’s the stuff you’ll need: --1 empty, small clean jar with lid such as a baby food or jam jar --heavy whipping cream --muffin, biscuit or cracker --salt (optional)

Here’s the fun:

Pour the cream into the jar, leaving space at the top. Screw the lid on tightly. Show your child how to hold the jar in both hands and shake, shake, shake.

It’s great exercise, and you may notice your child might run out of steam.

That’s the time to pass it on to someone else to continue the shaking. Eventually, chunks of butter will form.

Spoon out the chunks into a bowl and add a few sprinkles of salt, if you wish. Spread the butter on a warm muffin, biscuit or cracker, and talk about life in an earlier time when butter didn’t magically appear on the grocery store’s dairy shelf. *** Donna Erickson’s award-winning series “Donna’s Day” is airing on public television nationwide.
