The Best Gift Ever!

• Mary, Queen of Scots became Queen of Scotland when she was just six days old, upon the death of her father. Scotland was ruled by regents throughout her childhood. When Mary was 16, she married the French Dauphin Francis, who became King Francis II when she was 17. The union lasted only two years, as Francis died in 1560, and Mary returned to Scotland. Her life did not have a happy ending, as she was beheaded for plotting the assassination of her cousin Queen Elizabeth I of England.

• Some golfers might never shoot a 48 for nine holes of golf, but Tiger Woods achieved this feat at age 3. He had already been featured in Golf Digest by the age of 5.

AGE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT (continued):

other films. Despite her extraordinary talent, Judy was unable to deal with the demands of fame, and turned to drugs and alcohol. She perished from an overdose of barbiturates at age 47.

• Norwegian figure skater Sonja Henie competed in her first Olympics at Chamonix, France, at age 11 finishing dead last.

But just four years later she took the gold medal, followed by two more wins in 1932 and 1936.

Her performances took place on outdoor rinks in the cold and wind. Although she performed in a knee-length wool skirt, she didn’t need to worry about that hampering her jumps – in her day, it was deemed “unladylike to jump into the air” or perform spins. Sonja retired at age 23, moved to Hollywood, and became one of the industry’s highest paid movie stars of her day.

• Two actresses were presented Oscars for Best Supporting Actress at very young ages. Ten-year-old Tatum O’Neal received the honor for her performance in 1973’s Paper Moon, while Anna Paquin was the winner at age 11 in 1994 for her role in The Piano. In 1935, six-yearold Shirley Temple was awarded the very first Juvenile Oscar, a special honorary Academy Award for “her outstanding contribution to screen entertainment during the year 1934.” Shirley began her film career at age 3 and retired in 1950 at age 22.

She later served as U.S. Ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia.

• Jessica Tandy was 80 years old when she was awarded her first Oscar, Best Actress in 1989’s Driving Miss Daisy. Another 80-year-old, George Burns, took home his first Oscar for the 1975 film The Sunshine Boys.

• Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest President in U.S. history when he was elected at 42 years, 10 months in 1904. Ronald Reagan holds the record for the oldest at 69 years, 11 months when he was elected in 1980 and re-elected at age 73.

• When she was born in 1912, the press called Doris Duke the “million dollar baby.”

She was the only child of American tobacco baron James Duke, who headed a company in business since the Civil War. Her father’s donation of $40 million resulted in a name change from Trinity College in Durham, North Carolina, to Duke University. When Doris was 12, her father died and bequeathed her upwards of $30 million, leaving only a modest trust fund to her mother. At 14, Doris sued her mother to keep her from selling the family assets. Over the course of her lifetime, Doris increased her father’s fortune by four times. She spent

much of her time traveling and was an avid art collector. Doris also owned five homes, including a 2000-acre New Jersey farm, a penthouse on Park Avenue, a Beverly Hills mansion, a Hawaiian palace, and a summer home in Newport, Rhode Island. When she died in 1993, the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation was worth about $1.2 billion.

• Noted French painter Claude Monet was 60 when he began work on his famous water lilies series of paintings. The group of 250 works were this Impressionist’s depiction of his flower garden at Giverny.

He suffered from cataracts in both eyes when many of the panels were painted, and underwent a risky eye surgery at age 82, which was not overly successful. In 2014, one of the Water Lilies paintings sold at a Christie’s auction for $27 million.

• Greek runner Dimitrion Yordanidis was 98 when he completed a 26-mile marathon in 7 hours, 33 minutes, in 1976. It took

100-year-old Fajua Singh a little longer, just over 8 hours, to finish the Toronto Marathon in 2011. Compare these to the record marathon time of just over 2 hours, 2 minutes.

• Famed astronaut John Glenn was 40 years old when he became the first American to orbit Earth, making three orbits aboard Friendship 7 in February, 1962. The Ohioborn Glenn was a 22-yearold Marine when he was deployed to the Pacific Front in World War II, flying 59 combat missions over the course of the war. During the Korean War, he served on 90 missions. At 38, he was selected for the U.S. Space Program. Glenn retired from NASA two years after his historic flight into space.

At age 53, he was elected to the U.S. Senate, and at 63, made an unsuccessful bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.

In 1998, at age 77, after an absence of 36 years, John Glenn returned to space aboard the space shuttle Discovery, becoming the oldest person to fly in space. The mission lasted nine days and included a

study on aging and space travel. Glenn returned to his senatorial duties for another year, retiring at 78.

• Most folks haven’t heard of Hulda Crooks, an American mountaineer.

This incredible woman climbed Mt. Whitney, the highest peak in the continental United States, and Japan’s Mt. Fuji at age 91.

In fact, she climbed to Mt. Whitney’s 14,505-foot (4,421-m) peak 23 times between the ages of 65 and 91, along with 97 other peaks. At 95, she was still walking two miles every day. Hulda lived to be 101.

• At 95, Grandma Moses, who had taken up painting at age 78, wrote, “… in olden times, things were not so rushed. I think people were more content, more satisfied with life than they are today. You don’t hear nearly as much laughter and shouting as you did in my day, and what was fun for us wouldn’t be fun now.” This renowned American folk artist generated 1,500 paintings over three decades before passing away at age 101.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS:

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN Not only was Benjamin Franklin one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, he was a gifted inventor, author, printer, politician, postmaster, scientist, civic activist, statesman, and foreign diplomat. There might be a few things on this list that you didn’t know were Franklin’s creations!

• Born in Boston in 1706, Franklin’s formal schooling ended at age 10. At 12, he began an apprenticeship in his brother’s print shop.

• His first invention came along when Franklin was 11. An enthusiastic swimmer, he developed a pair of swim fins.

They weren’t what we think of today as flippers, but rather were a pair of oval planks with holes in the center that were attached to the hands.

• At 17, Franklin moved to Philadelphia, where he worked in print shops over the next few years. At 22, he set up his own shop, and the following year began publishing his own newspaper. Always an avid reader, Franklin came up with the idea of fellow book lovers sharing their books with others, as well as pooling funds to buy more books for the group. Franklin’s idea turned into the Library Company of Philadelphia, the first subscription library. When he was 33, the collection was moved to Independence Hall.

• Franklin’s love of books led to his invention of the “long arm,” a wooden pole with a grasping claw on the end that enabled him to reach books on high shelves.

• When Franklin was 36, he devised a metal-lined fireplace with rear baffles for better airflow. Placed in the middle of the room, this cast iron stove radiated heat in all directions and kept the room warm hours after the fire went out. In addition to

greater heat, the Franklin stove produced less smoke than an open fireplace and used less wood.

• Serving as Philadelphia’s postmaster for 16 years led to Franklin’s invention of an improved odometer. It began with his curiosity as to how far he was traveling by carriage between Philadelphia and Boston, carrying out his postmaster duties. He attached a geared device to the rear wheel of his carriage, measuring the revolutions made by the wheel.

Every 400 revolutions caused the device to register ahead one mile (1.6 km). He used his invention to streamline the mail delivery, measuring the distances between postal stations to develop more efficient mail routes.

• Franklin was even responsible for a musical instrument called the hydrocrystalophone, which in simpler terms was known as the glass armonica. His armonica consisted of a series of glass bowls of graduated size floating in a tray of water. The varying sizes produced different musical tones based on the size of the bowl. Before long, it was being played in concert halls across Europe and America, and even Mozart and Beethoven composed music for it.

• At 79, Franklin was still coming up with new ideas. Suffering from presbyopia, he conceived the idea of “double spectacles,” which allowed him to see distant objects as well as see close work. He hired his optician to use lenses from two sets of glasses, cutting them horizontally, and putting them into frames. It was the birth of bifocals!

• Benjamin Franklin did not patent a single one of his inventions, choosing to gift them to the public. In his words, “As we benefit from the inventions of others, we should be glad to share our own, freely and gladly.”

that a groom should keep in his pockets. If you're curious about pocket content, a groom should arm himself --- or his best man --- with such items as a supply of aspirin, a cellphone, a list of telephone numbers for people such as the vendors, a little cash, a stain-remover pen, camera, breath mints, a handkerchief, lip balm and, yes, the ring.

This pocket-sized manual is the ideal guide for navigating one of the most important experiences in a man's life.

It starts with popping the question and covers topics such as planning the wedding and how to survive the big event. Sections include Engagement Stuff, Wedding Planning Stuff, Wedding Day Stuff and After Wedding Stuff.

Most weddings require a lot of attention to detail, but that shouldn't prevent a marriage ceremony that is fun and memorable in a good way.

The practical advice includes how to choose the right ring, plan a wedding on a budget, pick the right tux, survive the bachelor party and even the essentials

San Juan's guide is easy to use and filled with useful information that every groom can depend on to navigate through the hazards a proper wedding. With it, grooms can not only survive, but survive intact. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Seniors need to be cautious, however, in dealing with summer.

THE HEAT IS ON

If you don't have fans or air conditioning, start looking now for places that donate fans to seniors. Try the local senior center, fire department or town offices. They're likely to know when and where fans will be given out.

If you live in a humid area, consider whether buying a one-room window air conditioner will help. Besides cooling the air, they remove moisture, which makes it feel cooler.

And here comes summer ...

If you can, sign up for afternoon classes at the senior center or spend afternoons at the library, movies or mall.

For many of us around the country, this past winter was a brutal one, and long. Now that the weather is warming up, we're eager to enjoy it.

Seniors often don't sense their level of thirst, either from aging or medications. Know the signs of dehydration: dry mouth, headache, limb cramps, dark urine or only a

Changes were made so the newer pieces could be more easily distinguished from the earlier ones.

DEAR DR. ROACH: Both of my daughters are in their 40s and going through menopause (according to their doctors, so they are not guessing about this). Both daughters are having such severe migraine headaches that they are missing work (and both are practically workaholics who usually are able to tough it through physical problems).

The migraines occur almost every time they have a period. Migraines are not daily during that time, but episodic (usually one per period). They do not have migraines except during menses.

One daughter was put on estrogen, which has helped her cramping, but she still is getting migraines. The other daughter has been referred to three physicians who all told her there was nothing that could be done but go on estrogen. She is now 49 years old and concerned that if she goes on estrogen at this point, she will simply have the same migraine issues again when she goes off it and wonders if that is actually worth just delaying having to deal with the migraines.

Seven dietary and lifestyle guidelines to boost brain health and reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease are available as an online advance on May 16, 2014, as a special supplement in Neurobiology of Aging.

“Alzheimer’s disease isn’t a natural part of aging,” notes lead author Neal Barnard, M.D., president of the nonprofit Physicians Committee and an adjunct professor of medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine. “By staying active and moving plant-based foods to the center of our plates, we have a fair shot at rewriting our genetic code for this heart-wrenching , and costly, disease.”

Alzheimer’s Disease International predicts Alzheimer’s rates will triple worldwide by 2050. The Alzheimer’s Association predicts long-term care costs start at $41,000 per year.

The seven guidelines to reduce risk of Alzheimer’s disease are:

For Advertising Information Call 954-667-3237 Is there any other solution besides estrogen for severe hormonal migraines? -- S.S. ANSWER: Estrogen-associated migraine is common.

However, it usually is the drop in estrogen that triggers the migraine. That's the reason many women get migraines around the time of their periods, as estrogen levels normally decline then.

For many women, migraines get worse years before menopause -- and by "menopause," I mean when periods stop altogether. As the periods become erratic, and sleep cycles are interrupted by hot flashes, migraines become worse, as they have in your daughters. However, once periods stop entirely, episodic migraines usually get dramatically better on their own.

During the erratic time before menses completely stop, estrogen pills, cream or an insertable ring can be used to maintain a more constant estrogen level, which usually improves the headaches. This can be slowly tapered off when the periods could be expected to be finished. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

4. Take a B12 supplement. A reliable source of B12, such as fortified foods or a supplement providing at least the recommended daily allowance (2.4 micrograms per day for adults), should be part of your daily diet. Note: Have your blood levels of vitamin B12 checked regularly as many factors, including age, impair absorption.

5. Avoid vitamins with iron and copper. If using multivitamins, choose those without iron and copper, and consume iron supplements only when directed by your physician.

6. Choose aluminum-free products.

While aluminum’s role in Alzheimer’s disease remains a matter of investigation, those who desire to minimize their exposure can avoid the use of cookware, antacids, baking powder, or other products that contain aluminum.

7. Exercise for 120 minutes each week. Include aerobic exercise in your routine, equivalent to 40 minutes of brisk walking, three times per week.

Other preventive measures, such as getting a minimum of seven hours of sleep each night and participating in 30 to 40 minutes of mental activity most days of the week, such as completing crossword puzzles, reading the newspaper, or learning a new language, can only help boost brain health.

“We spend trillions of dollars each year on failed drug trials,” notes study author Susan Levin, M.S., R.D., C.S.S.D., Physicians Committee director of nutrition education. “Let’s take a portion of these funds and invest in educational programs to help people learn about foods that are now clinically proven to be more effective in fighting this global epidemic.”

1. Minimize your intake of saturated fats and trans fats. Saturated fat is found primarily in dairy products, meats, and certain oils (coconut and palm oils). Trans fats are found in many snack pastries and fried foods and are listed on labels as “partially hydrogenated oils.”

The preliminary guidelines to reduce risk of Alzheimer’s were formed at the International Conference on Nutrition and the Brain in Washington on July 19 and 20, 2013.

2. Eat plant-based foods. Vegetables, legumes (beans, peas, and lentils), fruits, and whole grains should replace meats and dairy products as primary staples of the diet.

3. Consume 15 milligrams of vitamin E, from foods, each day. Vitamin E should come from foods, rather than supplements. Healthful food sources of vitamin E include seeds, nuts, green leafy vegetables, and whole grains. Note: The RDA for vitamin E is 15 milligrams per day.

HOW OLD? HOW YOUNG? • Child actor Jackie Coogan was already a millionaire by the time he was seven, after appearing in 1921’s The Kid, opposite Charlie Chaplin. Coogan earned an estimated $3 to $5 million ($48 to $65 million in today’s dollars) as a child, with the majority of the money squandered by his mother and stepfather on furs, diamonds, and expensive automobiles. At age 24, Coogan sued his parents, but received only $126,000 after paying legal expenses.

In later years, we knew Coogan as Uncle Fester on the 1960s sitcom The Addams Family.

HOLLYWOOD -- No sooner did Matt Damon get back from Mars, where he filmed "The Martian" with Jessica Chastain, Kate Mara, Kristen Wiig and Jeff Daniels (in theaters Nov. 25), than he started fighting mythical creatures attacking the earth at the Great Wall of China, aided by Willem Dafoe. Set in the 15th century, "The Great Wall" escapes Nov. 23, 2016.

Film historians insist that "Gone With the Wind" would top the list if theater prices were adjusted from 25 cents to today's prices. It's still the most-viewed movie of all time. It played in one theater, in every city, for a long time, instead of thousands of theaters across the country at one time. *** Woody Allen's next film, "Irrational Man," stars Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone and Parker Posey. Joaquin plays a philosophy professor having a relationship with one of his students, Emma Stone. It's due out July 17.

Following in the footsteps of the all-female "Ghostbusters," with "Saturday Night Live" alums Kristen Wiig and Kate McKinnon, as well as Melissa McCarthy and Leslie Jones, Sony is planning a female reboot of "21 Jump Street."

Michelle Vicary, executive vice president of programming and publicity for Crown Media Family Networks, says, “Our viewers have fallen in love with Catherine Bell and her enchanting journey, as well as her talented co-stars, James Denton and Bailee Madison. After seeing the overwhelming response to the series, there was no question that ‘Good Witch’ would be renewed for a second season.” There will be a two-hour season-two premiere this fall, followed by 10 new hours to follow in early 2016.

On Thursday, June 3, “Hannibal” returns to NBC for its third season, where you can see Gillian as Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier. You’ll recall at the end of last season, she and Hannibal Lector (Mads Mikkelsen) were fleeing to France after the bloodbath at Dr. Lector’s house, which included much blood being shed by Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne). It was recently announced that Gillian will co-star in the Lifetime/A&E/ History networks’ joint production of “War and Peace,” which is based on the classic novel by Leo Tolstoy. The limited- series event also stars Paul Dano, Lily James, James Norton and Jim Broadbent, and will be simulcast on all three networks in 2016. Anderson also is set to return for season three of the BBC2 psychological- thriller series “The Fall,” which should air sometime in 2016. “The Fall” also stars “Fifty Shades of Grey” heartthrob Jamie Dornan.

Asparagus Is Perfect for Spring Recipes Nothing says spring is here like a beautiful bunch of crisp asparagus. While asparagus is available year-round, it's much better when purchased locally.

Asparagus is easy to select and prepare, and comes in a variety of vibrant colors, including green, violet, purple and white. It is commercially available fresh, frozen and canned. The stalks range in size from colossal to small.

Different types and colors of asparagus can be used without any noticeable difference in taste, so mix and match colors and sizes for visual interest.

Asparagus should be crisp and firm, not limp or wrinkled, with tightly closed tips. Dull colors and ridges in the stems are an indication of a lack of freshness. The stalks should not be limp or dry at the cut and be of uniform thickness.

If you're planning to use the asparagus on the same day, rinse the stalks under cool water and pat dry with a paper towel. Smaller stalks can be broken or cut at the point where the stem naturally snaps. Peeling the end of thicker stalks with a paring knife or a vegetable peeler removes any woody stems and can be done up to 2 hours before cooking. Place the prepared asparagus in a plastic bag in the refrigerator to stay crisp until ready to cook.

Never wash or soak fresh asparagus before storing. If the asparagus is bound with a rubber band, remove it, as it will pinch and bruise the stalks. Asparagus can be stored for up to two days if the stalks are trimmed and placed

Asparagus cooks in minutes and can be prepared steamed or boiled in the microwave or oven. It tastes delicious hot or cold, and it also freezes well if blanched first in hot water.

Asparagus is a nutritional powerhouse. One-half cup of cooked asparagus contains significant amounts of folic acid, vitamin C, potassium and beta-carotene. It's also a heart-healthy food, and a natural diuretic.

This versatile vegetable works well as a room-temperature appetizer, blended into a soup, as a flavorful side dish, the main ingredient in a colorful salad or as part of a main course like my recipe for Lemon Chicken With Asparagus. Preparing asparagus is a delicious and nutritious way to celebrate spring.

Heat oil in a large, wide skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the onion, garlic, and rice. Cook, stirring constantly, until the rice begins to brown. Do not let more than one-tenth of the rice brown. Add wine and cook, stirring, until the rice absorbs the liquid. Add 1 cup of the broth. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring, until most of the broth is absorbed. Do not allow the rice to brown or stick to the pan. Continue adding the broth, 1 cup at a time, and cook until it is nearly all absorbed.

When adding the last cup of broth, add the asparagus.

When the broth is absorbed and the asparagus is just tender, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice, half the zest, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon basil, tarragon, and tomato. Mix gently so the asparagus doesn't fall apart. Add salt and white pepper to taste.

Divide the risotto among four large, shallow bowls. Garnish with the remaining basil and top with some lemon zest. Drizzle a teaspoon or so of the olive oil. Serve immediately. *For a lower-fat version, skip drizzling the final dish with additional olive oil.

RISE OF THE MACHINES Sport, being competitive in nature, lends itself to the act of comparison. This is, of course, by design. In fact, it -- sports -- is nothing more than a vast and giant conspiracy that has been foisted upon the teeming masses in order to distract us from whatever it is we are supposed to really be paying attention to (and I have a hunch it has something to do with numbers) by bickering over nonsense like Hack Wilson's slugging percentage and Pie Traynor's wins above replacement. Who cares about what happened to the economic surplus.

It's the man keeping us down, keeping us bickering with one another so we won't get our act together. They tell us it's all about comradery, teamwork and sportsmanship, but put a guy from Michigan and one from Ohio in the same room and shut the door. They'll come out looking like beta fish -- you'll see. They'll tear each other to shreds.

And don't let the Internet fool you. Sure, you can go to Sports-Reference.com and glean all sorts of numbers. You can compare and contrast your favorite players from every era and act like you know it all. There are a million blog sites out there that promise to make you the next Joe Posnanski, where everyone is on a level playing field and Dan Quisenberry can be in the Hall of Fame. Don't kid yourself.

One by one, they're getting picked off those jobs, but we don't say anything because Mulberry U. got a play-in game against Hooterville Tech in the tournament. That will shut us up for a few. Soon they'll install the DH in the National League and provide bathrooms and municipal sewer connections at Wrigley Field. They'll take the guesswork out of the games, and we won't say anything ... until it's too late.

Next they'll get rid of the fans' physical presence (see the Baltimore Orioles). It'll save on stadium overhead, and it's good for the environment.

The athletes will be the last to go ... they're always the last to know when it's over.

Boxing will be banned, and then they'll come for football.

The rankings are already being turned over to some faceless computer, and Madden Football correctly predicted the exact score of the Super Bowl this year. Soon the games will be just another simulation -- regulated, of course, so we can still gamble on the games and pay taxes. Think Skynet in "The Terminator" ... one day soon, the computers will be self-aware.

Augusta National, humanity's final beacon of hope, will be the last to fall as cyborgs overtake Amen Corner, screaming, "Get in the hole!" after every shot.

Yet somewhere out there, despite all of the devastation and destruction, at a corner bar somewhere in Schenectady, to a chorus of derisive jeers, a Yankee fan will insist that Jeter was still a better shortstop than Nomar in his prime, and another round will be ordered.

Eichmann fled to Argentina, where he was found by agents of the Mossad, Israel's intelligence service. * On May 25, 1977, the first of George Lucas' blockbuster Star Wars movies hits U.S. theaters. Star Wars was soon a pop-culture phenomenon. Over the years it has spawned more feature films, TV series and an entire industry's worth of comic books, toys and video games. * On May 27, 1994, two decades after being expelled from the Soviet Union, Nobel laureate Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn returns to Russia. In 1945, Solzhenitsyn was sentenced to eight years of hard labor for criticizing Stalin in a letter to a friend. Foreign publication of his "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" led to his expulsion from the USSR in 1974. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

the Environmental Protection Agency, it doesn't take much dirt buildup on the A/C coil -- about 0.42 inch -- to reduce its efficiency by as much as 21 percent. That can translate to a cost increase of more than $200 more per year (from $518 per year for an average home, to $725 per year, according to a Permatron release).

By Samantha Mazzotta

SUMMER ENERGY SAVINGS Q: How can I improve the efficiency of my air conditioner? I change the filter every month, but I haven't noticed much difference in my power bills. -- Craig K., Fresno, California A: Changing the air filter regularly is a great first line of attack in keeping power bills low, along with other benefits like reducing allergens inside your home. According to

But regular maintenance also is important, even for newer units -- and that includes outdoor and indoor components of your air conditioning system, such as the outdoor air compressor.

Schedule an annual checkup of the A/C system before summer weather really cranks up. This will run around $100.

Make sure it's performed by a certified heating and air-conditioning professional, who should check the indoor and outdoor coils as well as the compressor and capacitors. The unit's airflow and its cooling capacity also should be checked, along with refrigerant levels. The electrical components need to be checked as well.

Once your air conditioning unit is in tiptop shape, start managing your home's temperature more efficiently. If you haven't installed a digital programmable thermostat, now is the time. Not only does it maintain a home's temperature more precisely, it also can be set to a higher or lower temperature based on when you're at home.

rapidly. Your home's insulation also plays an important role in improving energy bills, so have it checked and updated or replaced if needed.

To keep cooler air inside during the summer months, check or update weather stripping around windows and doors, which will help stop air from escaping as

Send your home tips and questions to ask@thisisahammer.com.

HOME TIP: Use ceiling fans in conjunction with air conditioning to better circulate air throughout the house.

The bottom line is that it means your Social Security number has been compromised.

If you get suspicious emails that you think are phishing scams about your taxes, let the IRS know. Send email to phishing@irs.gov; or call 1-800-366-4484.

Here are the steps you need to take: * Call the IRS. Use the number on the letter it send you. * If you received a W-2 or 1099 from an employer you don't know, call Social Security. Go over your actual earnings to be sure they match what you know to be correct.

Have Scammers Stolen Your Tax Refund? * Call the police and ďŹ le a report.

If your tax e-ďŹ le was rejected or you were expecting a tax refund long before now, there's a chance that you've been the victim of identity theft. In fact, your only warning might be a notice from the IRS saying you've already ďŹ led and received your tax refund.

The letter might say that more than one return was ďŹ led with your Social Security number, or that you owe additional tax, or that they received W-2 or 1099 forms for an employer you don't know, or that your Notice of Earnings from Social Security has more income than you actually earned.

* Notify the big three credit reporting agencies and have a fraud alert put on your ďŹ le: www.Equifax.com (1-800525-6285), www.Experian.com (1-888-397-3742), www.

TransUnion.com (1-800-680-7289). * Complete IRS form 14039, which is the Identity Theft AfďŹ davit. You can download that at IRS.gov.

For more information, go online to the IRS.gov website and search for Taxpayer Guide to Identity Theft. Also search for Publication 5027, which is Identity Theft Information for Taxpayers. Then see www.irs.gov/identitytheft.

For future years, the advice is to ďŹ le as early in the season as possible. If someone else does attempt to use your Social Security number, your own return will already be there.

Beware to whom you give your Social Security number, especially on employment applications. Provide the number only if hired.

Learn to do your own taxes using a computer software program, then print them out and send by certiďŹ ed mail.

Keep control of your personal information. If your identity is used in an IRS tax scam, you could wait more than six months for it to be resolved and your refund to arrive.

* File a complaint with the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

his health is fine, start re-evaluating his regime.

Another Life Saved!

Like humans, pets can fall into routines where they get far less exercise and eat much more than an owner may estimate. Many pets also are masters at sneaking food when we're not looking. So, here are some tips to help jump-start Sandy's weight loss:

www.dalmatianrescue.com P.O. Box 640108 North Miami Beach Florida, 33164

305-940-3320

* Follow the vet's recommended feeding amounts exactly. Use a measuring cup.

FAT CAT DEAR PAW'S CORNER: My cat "Sandy" has had a weight problem for a few years now. His veterinarian recommended giving him less food and more exercise, but it hasn't helped.

What else can I do? -- Craig in Grand Rapids, Michigan

* If you don't get a recommended amount, follow this guideline for indoor cats: about 20 calories per pound of weight. So, a 10-pound cat needs about 200 calories per day to maintain that weight, while a 15-pound cat needs about 300 calories per day. Lower those calorie amounts slightly -- about 40 fewer calories per day -- for weight loss.

DEAR CRAIG: First, take Sandy in for a complete health evaluation at the vet -- if one hasn't been done lately -- just to rule out any underlying issues. Then, if

* Double your pet's activity time. Do you swing a toy in front of your cat for 5-10 minutes each evening while your TV shows are on? Make it 20 minutes.

* Reset the routine for both of you. Carve out play or exercise time in the morning and evening. * Provide your cat plenty of distractions from the food bowl: catnip-laced toys, scratching posts, etc.
