by Kathy Wolfe No, Tidbits isn’t bankrupt! But every year, for a multitude of reasons, millions of Americans file for bankruptcy protection. It’s not always Mr. John Q. Public who does this – many times it’s celebrities who “had it all” and lost it, or wealthy business magnates who made poor investment decisions. This week, we’re looking at some well-known people who have filed bankruptcy, sometimes more than once!

• In 1989, actress Kim Basinger bought herself a town, Braselton, Georgia for $20 million with plans to develop it. A few years later, after accepting a film role for “Boxing Helena,” she backed out of the movie. The studio promptly sued Basinger for $7 million. Shortly after paying the damages, she filed for bankruptcy and abandoned Braselton. • Singer-songwriter Willie Nelson made headlines back in 1990 when the IRS seized his bank accounts and real estate holdings as security for the $16.7 million he owed in unpaid taxes. Nelson had channeled his income into a tax shelter that the IRS had declared illegal. He took the bull by the horns and recorded a new album appropriately entitled “The IRS Tapes: Who’ll Buy My Memories?” to raise money to pay his debt, one he eventually paid in full. …turn the page for more

GOING BROKE (continued):

• Unpaid taxes do have a way of catching up with you. Just ask actor Nicolas Cage, who owed the IRS $13 million by the end of 2009. Cage wasn’t too wise with his $150 million fortune, purchasing an $8 million castle in England, where he never slept one single night, another castle in Bavaria, two New Orleans mansions, a $17 million home in Bel Air, and a $10 million Malibu beach house. A $7 million 40-acre private island near the Bahamas was followed up with a $30 million private jet to visit all his homes. Nine Rolls Royces were parked in his garage next to his Lamborghini and Ferrari, and 30 motorcycles. When Cage got in trouble, he began unloading his real estate, along with his cherished Action Comics collection that brought in a record $2.16 million. Lucky for Cage, he is still considered a Hollywood star

who continues to land big roles, although most of his salaries go straight to his creditors. • Formerly a duchess married to Britain’s Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson ran up $8 million in debt from the time of her 1996 divorce until 2011. Ex-husband Andrew saved the day by loaning her money, and her creditors also agreed to take a smaller percentage of what was owed to them. The $10 million contract she signed as a Weight Watchers spokesperson may have helped out, too! • Musician MC Hammer found out that an overly-lavish lifestyle can backfire. In the early 1990s, Hammer had a net worth of more than $33 million. Within five years, he had accrued $14 million in debt and filed for bankruptcy. How did that happen? Hammer main-

tained a 200-person crew that cost him about half a million every month. He lived in a $30 million house with a 17-car garage, a bowling alley, and baseball diamond. He owned two private helicopters, luxury cars, airplanes, and a record company. • During his heyday, professional boxer Mike Tyson was bringing down $30 million for a single fight! His career earnings were somewhere between $300 million and $400 million. In 2004, he was $38 million in debt, with $17 million of that owed in back taxes. He owed $750,000 to seven different law firms, and another $300,000 for limo services. Although he blamed dishonest financial advisors, his spending habits included mansions, over 100 luxury cars, extravagant jewelry, a $2 million bathtub, a $410,000 birthday party, and pet Bengal tigers, which cost about $1,500 a day to feed. • How did NFL legend Terrell Owens burn through his $80 million career earnings? Part of it can

be attributed to the more than $50,000 per month in child support payments he makes to four different women, three of whom have filed lawsuits against him. He also cites unscrupulous financial advisors, who led him into risky real estate investments. No matter what the reason, it took Owens less than 10 years to squander an amount that could have supported him comfortably for the remainder of his life. • Not everyone who’s gone through bankruptcy or financial troubles has been a big earner, nor have they all lived in our lifetime. President Abraham Lincoln declared bankruptcy in his 20s after his general store failed. When the store where Abe worked closed down, he saw an opportunity to open his own store, buying out other stores’ inventories on credit. After going broke, he repaid all his creditors, a feat that took 17 years. At least three other U.S. Presidents have filed bankruptcy – Ulysses Grant, William McKinley,

and Thomas Jefferson, whose estate Monticello and its 120 slaves were auctioned off to pay his debt. • Mark Twain, author of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn made a series of unwise investments that lost a great deal of money. The most notable was a typesetting machine, a mechanical innovation that was to change the publishing industry. Twain invested $300,000 (about $8.2 million in today’s money) in the invention, but it was prone to breakdowns, and by the time its flaws were corrected, it had been made obsolete by the brand-new Linotype. Some poor decisions at the publishing house he owned further depleted his fortune, along with a large part of his wife’s inheritance. An honest friend and financier advised him to file for bankruptcy, then took charge of the remainder of Twain’s money, while Twain continued writing and lecturing. Although he wasn’t under any legal obligation to pay off all his creditors, Twain paid each in full.

• Several successful businessmen found their greatest achievements after their financial difficulties. Prior to founding the Ford Motor Company, Henry Ford had filed bankruptcy after his first internal combustion vehicle, the Quadricycle, failed to generate a profit. He had started the Detroit Automobile Company, but unfortunately, made the mechanics of the automobile his focus, while failing to properly market his creation. At age 40, he started over with $30,000, founding the company that lives on today. Henry Heinz’s first condiment company went bankrupt, but when he started over with his brother and cousin, they introduced tomato ketchup, and today Heinz is a $10 billion company that sells 650 million bottles of ketchup every year. Walt Disney’s first animation company, Laugh-O-Gram Studio, went broke three years before Disney formed the company that exists today. He nearly had to file bankruptcy again in 1937 after he dumped all his money into the making of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Fortunately, the film was a hit, and his finances were secure.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS:

CHARLES GOODYEAR Although he suffered through financial distress and bankruptcy his entire life, the name of Charles Goodyear lives on through history. Let’s see how much you know about this self-taught inventor and his work with rubber. • The name of Goodyear is significant in New Haven, Connecticut, for more than Charles Goodyear’s inventions. In 1638, his ancestor was a founder of that city, and it was here that Charles was born in 1800. At age 14, he headed to Philadelphia to work as an apprentice in the hardware business, which occupied his next seven years. • At 21, Goodyear returned to Connecticut to partner with his father in the business of manufacturing ivory and metal buttons and an assortment of agricultural implements. Following his marriage, Goodyear moved back to Philadelphia, operating a thriving hardware store. However, his practice of liberally extending credit caught up with him, and the losses from non-paying customers led to his business failure. Because he was in the midst of perfecting and patenting several inventions, he refused to declare bankruptcy for fear of losing his rights to those inventions. As a result, he was thrown into debtor’s prison for failing to pay his debts. • At 31, Goodyear first learned about gum elastic, or natural rubber, and began experimenting with the substance. He started out creating life preservers, presenting them to a New York rubber company. It soon became apparent that natural rubber froze hard in the winter and was a sticky mess in the summer. Goodyear was determined to figure out a process to stabilize rubber.

• Goodyear was able to secure loans for his experiments, which started out with his working magnesia into the rubber, something that seemed to take away the stickiness. His first creation was rubber shoes, lined with flannel. But the stickiness returned, and his creditors withdrew their money. Another New York businessman who believed in Goodyear’s potential advanced several thousand dollars to continue the work, but the financial Panic of 1837 wiped out his entire fortune and once again, Goodyear was penniless. He and his family were living in an empty rubber factory, living on fish he caught in New York Harbor. • Although living in poverty, Goodyear continued his experiments, adding different chemicals, such as nitric acid, lead oxide, and sulfur, then boiling the mixture. Finally, in 1839, the inventor had his breakthrough, when he discovered that heating natural rubber and sulfur created vulcanized rubber. • It would seem that the tide had turned for Goodyear, but when he attempted to secure funds for his new venture, his previous financial difficulties made it tough to convince investors. He continued in poverty, pawning his household goods, perfecting his process for five years before he felt confident enough to apply for a patent. • Even with his patent secured, Goodyear’s life did not turn around, and he was plagued with troubles. Six of his 12 children died in infancy. He was jailed twice for failing to pay debts, and when he died at age 60, he was $200,000 in debt. Fortunately, over the years after his death, royalties accumulated and allowed his family to live comfortably. Thirty-eight years after his death, Frank Seiberling founded a rubber company, which he named Goodyear Tire & Rubber in tribute to the inventor. Today, it’s a billion-dollar company, the world’s largest rubber business, but the Goodyear family derived no capital from it.

• The U.S. state at greatest risk for a tsunami is Hawaii, where one occurs every year, with a damaging tsunami occurring every seven years. The island of Hawaii is formed of five volcanoes, including the world’s largest, Mauna Loa. Four other states are at high risk – Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and California. The costliest tsunami to hit the western U.S. and Canada was in 1964 following an 8.4 earthquake in Alaska. The 21-foot (6.4-m) waves killed 120 people.

This week is Tsunami Awareness Week, so Tidbits is checking out the facts on this deadly phenomenon. • The word “tsunami” comes from the Japanese language, translating “harbor wave.” It’s not really one wave, but rather a series of ocean waves, called a wave train, that sends surges of water to the shore. Because tsunamis might resemble a rapidly rising tide, some refer to them as tidal waves, but this is an inaccurate term because tsunamis are not related to, nor generated by, tides.

• A quake registering 9.5 occurred 100 miles (161 km) off the coast of Chile in 1960 and within 15 minutes, 80-foot (24-m) waves hit the coast. Fifteen hours later, the tsunami hit Hawaii, and 22 hours after the quake, the waves struck the coast of Japan – 10,000 miles (16,093 km) away from the earthquake’s epicenter.

• Tsunamis are also known as seismic sea waves, because they are most often generated by seismic activity such as earthquakes. Yet this term is also not entirely accurate because other forces can cause the waves, such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, chunks of glaciers breaking off into the ocean, and meteorite impacts. • The first wave of the series is typically not the strongest wave, and people are often deceived that once it has passed, the worst is over. The successive waves get bigger, stronger, and more destructive as they reach the shore. The time between the waves can last anywhere from a few minutes to about two hours.

they hit shallower water near the coast, they may slow down but their height increases. Waves as high as 100 feet (30.5 m) are not uncommon. The effects are felt long afterward as the tsunami carries tons of salt which poisons the soil and ground water, contributing to hunger and disease.

• One of history’s deadliest disasters occurred in 2004 when a 9.0 earthquake in the Indian Ocean released more energy than all of the earthquakes of the last 25 years combined. A portion of the ocean’s floor the size of California heaved upward, creating a tsunami that struck 14 countries, resulting in 290,000 dead or missing.

• Tsunamis can travel across the sea at speeds up to 500 mph (805 km/hr), nearly as fast as an airplane. They can cross the span of the Pacific Ocean in less than a day. As

• The Pacific Ocean’s “Ring of Fire” is an area where tectonic shifts make volcanic eruptions and earthquakes common, generating about 80% of the world’s tsunamis.

• More recently, a 2011 earthquake in Japan registering 9.0 caused a tsunami that killed nearly 16,000 and created property damage of $300 billion.

"AMERICAN GHOST: THE TRUE STORY OF A FAMILY'S HAUNTED PAST" by Hannah Nordhaus (Harper Collins, $25) Reviewed by Larry Cox The La Posada hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico, was once a grand family home. Built in 1882 by Abraham Staab, a Jewish merchant, for his wife, Julia, and their children, it was one of the grandest private structures in the region. The first floor was a public area, the second, living quarters for the Staab family, and the top level a ballroom.

vanished. This visitation was followed by other mysterious events -- glasses that flew off the shelves of the bar, vases of flowers that moved to other locations and other sightings of the mysterious woman in black. The epicenter of the spooky events seemed to be in the second floor suite, once occupied by Julia.

Julia's eighth pregnancy was a difficult one. The son born died a short time after birth. The death plunged Julia into a deep depression, and she spent what was left of life secluded in her bedroom. She died in 1896 at the age of 52. During the 1920s, the property passed out of the Staab family but continued to build its reputation as a resort and destination for travelers.

Critically acclaimed author Hannah Nordhaus, the great-great-granddaughter of Abraham and Julia Staab, weaves together the strands of Julia's life in this truelife account, a stunning literary portrait of pioneer life in New Mexico involving ghosts, psychics, imagination and even an improbable love story.

Fast-forward four decades. During the 1970s, a janitor was mopping the floor at the hotel late one night. When he looked up from his bucket, he gasped at the sight of a dark-eyed woman dressed in a long, black gown standing near the fireplace. As he blinked, the woman

A RECOMMENDATION FOR 2015 DIETARY GUIDELINES FOR AMERICA: THE SUSTAINABLE PLATE

For Advertising Information Call 954-667-3237 It is clear that people with shingles at an early age should be even more careful about other risk factors for stroke, especially smoking, blood pressure and cholesterol. A previous history of shingles does not guarantee against further episodes, so the vaccine is recommended at age 60 with or without a history of shingles in the past. The recommendation for shingles vaccine may change: The vaccine has a Food and Drug Administration indication for ages 50-59, but is not recommended by the Advisory Committee. Shingles questions are among the most frequently asked. The booklet on the shingles virus answers many of them. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 1201W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient's printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

SHINGLES CAN RECUR, EVEN DECADES LATER DEAR DR. ROACH: I am in my 60s. About 40 years ago, I had a case of shingles. Can shingles reoccur, or having once had it am I protected from having it again? I've been given conflicting information about whether I need to be vaccinated. -- M.F. DEAR DR. ROACH: I heard a report from a recent study that said a person who has shingles early in life is more likely to suffer a stroke. Would you please explain why? -- A.L.R.

In an effort to promote sustainable eating patterns for optimal health, the Physicians Committee offers a visual guide for plant-based eating patterns. A diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes is a scientifically proven approach to help prevent and manage our nation’s largest public health threats: obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain forms of cancer. Additionally, we urge that water replace dairy as the drink of choice. A diet higher in plant-based foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, and lower in calories and animal-based foods promotes personal health and is associated with less environmental impact than the current U.S. dietary patterns, according to the most recent Scientific Report of the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. These healthy basics provide the good nutrition you need. Be sure to include a reliable source of vitamin B12, such as any common multiple vitamin or fortified foods. Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine 5100 Wisconsin Ave. Ste. 400 Washington, DC 20016 Phone: (202) 686-2210

ANSWER: Shingles is a disease caused by the reactivation of varicella zoster virus, the virus for chickenpox, which lays dormant in the body for years or even decades. Shingles itself is painful, but the most feared complication has been post-herpetic neuralgia, which can be horrifically painful and can last for months, especially in older people. In January 2014, researchers in the UK found an increased risk of stroke and other vascular disease, including heart attack, in people who'd had shingles before the age of 40. The study could not answer why, but previous research has shown that blood vessels in the brain can be affected by the virus that causes shingles. There may be a role for the antibodies produced by the body as well.

*** DEAR DR. ROACH: My great-niece is 9 years old. She saw her doctor for a bad complexion, and was told that she is stage 3 for puberty. What does this mean, and how many stages are there? -- F.N. ANSWER: Puberty is a process, not an event. It goes on normally for several years. There are five stages of puberty, usually called Tanner stages. There are specific criteria for development that correspond to each stage. Nine years old is on the younger side for Tanner stage 3, but puberty starts at different times for different people, with significant differences that run in families and by ethnic background. Your great-niece's complexion issue probably relates to high levels of adrenal hormones, which start increasing even before puberty. Very high levels early in puberty should raise concern for a condition called congenital adrenal hyperplasia, although most cases of acne in early puberty are quite normal. If the gynecologist is worried, some simple blood and urine tests can tell you more. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

Tasty KITCHEN DIVA By Angela Shelf Medearis and Gina Harlow

Funny Flower It's strange, it's lovely, it's a thistle, it's a ower, it's the pale-green blossom of spring -- it's the artichoke. Artichokes are in season, so it's time to go to the market and get some thorny deliciousness for yourself. Artichokes may be a food you think you know -- stripped down to its heart and frozen and packaged in a box, jar or can. But artichokes are delicious in all their forms. If you've never had the chance to buy them in their full, sculptural beauty, fresh off the plant, mature or young and tender, then you're truly missing something. The artichoke is a member of the cardoon family, which is native to the Mediterranean. Cultivation began there as early as the 9th century. The artichoke likes mild, dry climates for growing, and in the United States it seems to prefer California's central valley almost exclusively. Being what it is, a leafy ower, makes it a great source of ďŹ ber. It's also high in vitamin C and magnesium.

• •

If you live in California, you've probably had the chance to savor a fresh artichoke. However, it might seem a little exotic to the rest of us. The big round globe, with all its layers, might be a little intimidating. What to do with it? What is edible? What is not? Use fresh artichokes within a few days of purchase. You may want to trim off the prickly points of the leaves before preparing them. Surprisingly, most of the ower is edible. The only exceptions are the more ďŹ brous end of the stem (the upper part of the stem is very good) and the center. This part of the large, mature artichoke is inedible. There are many tasty and attractive ways to prepare fresh artichokes. Large heads are delicious stuffed and roasted. Or artichokes can be steamed and the leaves removed and served for dipping into any sauce your imagination allows. Once the fuzzy center -- the "choke" of the artichoke -- is removed, the hollowed out core can be used as a serving dish for salads or soups. Small, young artichokes don't have to have the ďŹ brous center choke removed, and can be cooked and eaten whole.

Lentil Artichoke Stew Makes 6 servings The artichokes in this stew add dietary ďŹ ber, vitamin C, and folate. This aromatic and tasty Middle Eastern dish is great served alone or over brown rice or pasta. Using ďŹ re-roasted tomatoes is not essential, but they will give the stew a delicious smoky avor. • • • •

1/4 cup vegetable broth 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional) 3 - 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

• • • • • • • •

1 1/2 cups quartered canned or thawed frozen artichoke hearts (see notes) 2 24-ounce cans chopped fire-roasted tomatoes, undrained, or 6 cups chopped fresh tomatoes plus 1 cup tomato juice 1 bay leaf 1 cup dry red lentils 2 cups water 1 teaspoon ground coriander 2 teaspoons ground cumin 2 large garlic cloves, minced or pressed 1 onion, chopped 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Heat the broth in a large saucepan. Add the onion and cook and stir over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until golden. Add the garlic, cumin, and coriander and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the water, lentils, and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and add the tomatoes and their liquid, the artichoke hearts, lemon juice, and optional red pep-

per akes. Simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stored in a covered container in the refrigerator, leftover Lentil Artichoke Stew will keep for up to 3 days. Notes • Use 1 15-ounce can water-packed artichoke hearts, or 1 9-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed. • If red lentils are unavailable, green lentils can be substituted. However, because green lentils will not cook properly in acidic foods such as tomatoes and lemon juice, you will need to cook them in water or vegetable stock until tender prior to adding them to the stew.

HOLLYWOOD -- Best Actor Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne may be the only one to save "Jupiter Ascending" when it's released on DVD. It cost $176 million to produce, but earned only $115 million, despite featuring Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis. In his next film, "The Danish Girl," Redmayne will play a man transcending into womanhood ... a risky choice, to say the least. Meanwhile, Channing's "Magic Mike XXL," out July 3, will be followed by Quentin Tarantino's $44 million Western "The Hateful Eight," with Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tim Roth, Bruce Dern and Lee Horsley, out Nov. 13. Tatum currently is shooting the Coen brothers' "Hail Caesar" with Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Tilda Swinton, Ralph Fiennes, Jonah Hill, Frances McDormand and Scarlett Johansson, due out Feb. 2016. Horsley, now 59, starred in "Nero Wolfe," "Matt Houston" and "Paradise" in the '80s, and appeared in Tarantino's 2012 epic "Django Unchained." *** Nice little publicity stunt saying Jamie Dornan's wife was so upset with his sex scenes in "50 Shades of Grey" that she wants him to quit the franchise. Firstly, when you marry a handsome actor like Dornan, you expect he'll be doing love scenes. Secondly, it's called acting. Thirdly, he has an iron-clad contract for the remaining two films. Charlie Hunnam supposedly bowed out of "50 Shades" "because of conflicts," but was able to do Guillermo del Toro's "Crimson Peak" with Mia Wasikowska and Jessica Chastain, due out Oct. 16th. *** Lady Gaga has charted a new course. Her duet album with Tony Bennett won a Grammy, and her spectacular singing of "The Sound of Music" medley at the Oscars re-

Lady Gaga

vealed her incredible Broadway voice, which puts her in the Barbra Streisand/Bette Midler category. She's also boldly launching an acting career in season 5 of "American Horror Story: Hotel," the hot follow-up to "American Horror Story: Freaks." Maybe she's been getting acting lessons from her future husband, "Chicago Fire's" Taylor Kinney. *** The legendary Bob Dylan gave his one and only interview to AARP Magazine for his new album, "Shadows in the Night," which contains classic songs such as Frank Sinatra's "I'm a Fool to Want You," "Autumn Leaves," "Some Enchanted Evening" and "What'll I Do." Dylan admitted, "I've been thinking about it ever since I heard Willie (Nelson)'s "Stardust" record in the late '70s. I've heard these songs being recorded by other people, and I've always wanted to do that. When you start doing these songs, Frank's got to be on your mind because he is the mountain you have to climb, even if you only get part of the way there." At 73, Dylan proves "Like a Rolling Stone" gathers no moss! © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Voorhees (played by the always wonderful Jane Krakowski), new roommate Titus Andromedon (the fabulous Tituss Burgess) and landlord Lillian Kaushtupper (the legendary Carol Kane). Season one consists of 13 episodes, all of which now are available for streaming on netflix.com.

Q: Now that "Sons of Anarchy" is over, can you tell me what Katey Sagal has planned next? -- Glenn F., via email Tina Fey A: The lovely and talented actress is set to reteam with "Sons" creator Kurt Sutter -- who also happens to be Katey's hubby -- for the FX period drama "The Bastard Executioner." The series centers on a former warrior/knight for King Edward I, Wilkin Brattle, who is overcome by the destruction of war and vows to lay down his sword. When violence finds him, he's forced to return to his violent ways. Australian actor Lee Jones plays Brattle, with "True Blood" alum Stephen Moyer playing his friend, Milus Corbett. Matthew Rhys, Sam Spruell, Flora Spencer-Longhurst, Darren Evans, Sarah White, Sarah Sweeney and Danny Sapani round out the cast. Production on the series began March 19, with no word yet on a premiere date.

Q: Can you tell me who this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees are? -- Kyle F., via email A: On April 18, Lou Reed, Green Day, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Bill Withers and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band will be inducted in the hall as the Class of 2015. The ceremony will be conducted in Cleveland and is open to the public. For those who can't attend, HBO will air the ceremony sometime in May. My money's on Joan Jett and the Blackhearts playing "I Love Rock 'n' Roll," which really couldn't be more appropriate for the occasion, right? *** Q: Can you tell me the latest news on "Cedar Cove"? -Richard O., via email

*** Q: I thought Tina Fey had a new comedy coming to NBC, but I've looked all over for it, to no avail. Can you tell me what happened? -- Kellie F., via Facebook A: When NBC passed on Fey's hilarious "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," Netflix swooped in and saved this brilliant comedy from obscurity. "The Office" alum Ellie Kemper stars as the eponymous Kimmy, who recently escaped from being held prisoner underground by a man who claimed the world above had ended in an apocalypse. Kimmy moves to New York City, where she tries to put her life back on track with the help of new employer Jacqueline

A: The phenomenally popular Hallmark Channel nighttime drama series, which stars Andie MacDowell as Olivia Lockhart, has been renewed for a third season and will return for new episodes later this summer. Although an exact date has not yet been given, I'm thinking it will follow suit with the previous two season and premiere in mid-July. Dylan Neal will return as Jack Griffith, Olivia's on-again/off-again love interest. Write to Cindy at King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

I learned a new trick, though. Simply put the leftovers in the smallest container possible and tamp down to press out all the air. Then carefully add a thin layer of water.

Clip this column and share it with your friends the next time you get together. Maybe you'll keep one potential victim away from the scammers. To read about more senior scams, go online to www.fbi.gov/scams-safety/fraud/seniors. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

-The FBI website has a list of scams that are aimed at seniors. Many of these swindles have been going on for years, and the scammers still are finding plenty of victims. Why do they target seniors? Because they think we have money. Because they think we won't report the crime. Because we were raised to be polite to callers. Here are some examples: * Medicare and insurance fraud: Scammers posing as Medicare representatives call to try to get personal information. Or, even more brazen, they set up fake mobile clinics and entice seniors to provide their Medicare information. * Reverse mortgage scam: Seniors can lose all their home equity to scammers or even be conned into aiding the scammers in stealing equity from a flipped property. Beware reverse mortgages, and don't sign anything without expert advice. Be wary of investment seminars, even those hosted by churches. * Funeral and cemetery scams: Scammers read the obituaries and pounce on the spouse to try to collect money that the deceased didn't even owe. Or, shady funeral-home operators will try to pad the bill. * Telemarketing: Seniors make twice the average number of purchases over the phone, so we're a handy target.

From 1918 to 1930, Rockne compiled a record of 105 wins, 12 losses and 5 ties, and won six national championships.

* On April 2, 1863, responding to acute food shortages, hundreds of women riot in Richmond, Virginia, breaking windows and looting stores, before Confederate President Jefferson Davis threw his pocket change at them from the top of a wagon. Davis ordered the crowd to disperse or he would order the militia to fire on them.

* On April 1, 1948, Soviet troops begin stopping U.S. and British military trains traveling through the Russian sector to and from Berlin. In June, the Soviets began a fullscale blockade of the U.S.-British-French sectors. Thus began the Berlin Blockade, when U.S. aircraft began dropping supplies into Berlin.

Hughes' bizarre behavior grew worse in his final years, as he became obsessed with privacy and sometimes worked for days at a stretch in a black-curtained room without sleeping. * On March 30, 1980, a floating apartment platform for oil workers in the North Sea 235 miles east of Scotland collapses, killing 123 people.

pigs? Here's the story: In ancient times, a lump of clay was called a "pygg." A clay bowl formed from this lump would often be used to hold loose change, and it was called a pygg bowl bank. According to legend, at a later point in history, a potter unfamiliar with the term received an order for several of these pygg bowl banks. Instead of the bowls, he made coin banks shaped like pigs; they became such a hit that they're still around today. * The Puritans wouldn't allow the singing of Christmas carols.

information on the basics of cat shows, like how to enter, rules of competition, tips on caring for and grooming your cat, and a list of upcoming events. The International Cat Association (http://tica.org/) is another good resource, with lots of information and a robust show calendar. It's important to be sure that George is up to the stress of being shown. Is he a friendly, well-socialized cat who is OK with being petted and picked up by strangers? Can he stay relaxed in a strange, noisy environment near several other cats? Is he in good health? Are his vaccinations up to date?

First, the way closets are configured often contributes to the problem. They generally are recessed back into the wall, and are closed off by doors. Both of these things impede airflow and allow for stagnant, humid air in these spaces. Standard air fresheners don't help if there's very little airflow in the closet. What you can do immediately to improve the situation is to open the closet doors and remove everything: clothes, boxes, baskets, toys ... all of it. Set up a fan on a side table so that

it blows air directly into the closet. Let the closet air this way for 24 hours. Then refill the closet -- but with half as much clothing and other stuff as before. Cluttered, overstuffed closets can cause that musty odor to come back in no time, because all that junk is blocking any airflow. While the fans are running, hunt for possible moisture problems in the house. Go into the attic with a flashlight and look for any possible leaks, while smelling for mustiness or mold. If your home has a basement, inspect it as well. Check all the ceilings: Are there any light brown, circular areas visible? These are water stains, caused by either a leak in the roof or a leaking pipe. If you smell mustiness and mold but can't

find what's causing it, or if you see water stains on the ceiling or walls but can't locate a source, call a contractor who specializes in moisture problems. Be sure to mention mustiness in the closets to the contractor, if he or she doesn't ask first. Eliminating sources of humidity or leaks will be most important, but if the closets' problem continues even after you declutter them, talk with the contractor about ways to improve airflow in these spaces. HOME TIP: Placing a single open box of unscented baking soda on a closet's upper shelf is a cost-effective way to manage minor moisture and odors in the enclosed space.

What your pass covers: One year of entrance for each passenger in your non-commercial vehicle, to include the pass owner and three adults age 16 and older (kids are free). You'll need a photo ID. Note: Some sites charge per vehicle, and some per person. Ask in advance.

NATIONAL PARKS PASS IS SUMMER BARGAIN The National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass can form the basis for numerous trips and adventures this summer, and it's a bargain at $80. Not all of the national parks are natural wonders. Some sites are museums, islands, vintage buildings, lighthouses, canals, forts, homes of former presidents, national battlefields, historical parks, monuments, recreation areas, scenic rivers, preserves, wildlife refuges and memorials. Activities at national parks can include but aren't limited to camping, hiking, fishing, climbing, diving, boating, skiing, swimming and photography.

If you're military, get your free pass by showing your military ID at most parks that charge a fee. Best bet: Get your free pass in advance. If you're a senior, get your lifetime pass at a park site that issues them. It will cost you $10. No trip will be complete without a copy of "Passport to Your National Parks." The 104-page books are loaded with information: color-coded maps, pre-visit information, illustrations and photographs, free map and guide to the park system. At each spot you visit, stamp your book to record your visit at the cancellation station. Not all parks have this, but most do. Each book is $8.95, but spring for the annual commemorative stamp sheet for $3.95 to add to your pages. Each year has different stamps to promote a different park in each region. If you have kids, consider adding the "Kids' Passport to Your National Parks Companion" for $5.95. Each one contains a ďŹ eld journal, list of Junior Ranger programs and checklists to go along with the Passport book. Order at www.eparks.com.

Google "national parks passport" and click Images to see photos of Passport pages. Learn about the National Park Service at www.nps.gov. For speciďŹ c questions about what the pass covers for each park, call 1-888-275-8747, option 3. This year, the fee-free dates are April 18-19 (opening weekend of National Park Week), Aug. 25 (National Park Service Birthday) and Sept. 26 (National Public Lands Day).
