• The life of wealthy, carefree bachelor Bill Davis was dramatically changed when his brother and sister-in-law were killed in an auto accident. From 1966 to 1971, the series Family Affair recounted the adventures of this successful Manhattan civil engineer who became the guardian of twins Buffy and Jody and their teenaged sister Cissy. Uncle Bill was assisted in his efforts by his stuffy English valet Mr. French. Six-year-old Buffy’s favorite doll, Mrs. Beasley, was so popular that Mattel began production of the blonde-haired talking doll in 1967, and was still experiencing favorable sales two years after the show was cancelled.

• A 1930s family living in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia was led by John Walton, who ran a sawmill on the family property. In actuality, The Waltons was filmed entirely in California, split between the Warner Brothers Studios and the nearby Angeles National Forest.

John Walton and his wife Olivia raised their seven children through the Great Depression and World War II for nine seasons on CBS television. The series was based on creator Earl Hamner’s childhood in the tiny community of Schuyler, Virginia, and Hamner served as the narrator of each episode. CBS executives wanted Henry Fonda to portray John Walton, but when he turned it down, Ralph Waite was chosen.

Q: A while ago you said “The Killing”

would be back for a third season, and I was thrilled. I have yet to see it on AMC’s schedule.

Can you tell me when it will return?

-- Holly G., via email

A:

“The Killing” returned June 2 for its 12-episode third season. This season will explore the dark world of a serial killer, Ray Seward (played by Peter Sarsgaard), who has a connection to Sarah Linden’s past. According to executive producer Veena Sud, Peter had a big hand in creating his character, saying: “He came in with really great ideas. ... There is something that is so brilliantly internal about Peter. He takes all these characteristics of extreme violence, and he sucks it deep within him, and it becomes more terrifying Peter Sarsgaard because of it.” ***

ny Ryan, Kate’s (Rachael Leigh Cooke) estranged, soon-to-be ex-husband. I spoke with Scott recently, who’s excited to play this new role, and he gave me a sneak peak as to what to expect:

“Donny’s been in D.C. working as an assistant U.S. Attorney, and he winds up coming back to Chicago. It doesn’t take very long for him to reveal what his true intentions are. He says he just got transferred back there for work, but pretty quickly he reveals that he’s come back there to be closer to Kate. Soon, it becomes clear that Daniel (Eric McCormack) and Kate have feelings for each other, whether friendship or romantic. So, there’s a little bit of a triangle between the three of them.” *** READERS: As promised, here is the fate of more 2012/13 network shows, this week listing CW and Fox. On the renewed list for CW is: “Arrow,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “The Carrie Diaries,” “Hart of Dixie,” “Nikita,” “Supernatural” and “The Vampire Diaries”; for Fox: “American Dad,” “Bob’s Burgers,” “Bones,” “Family Guy,” “The Following,” “Glee,” “The Mindy Project,” “New Girl,” “Raising Hope” and “The Simpsons.”

CW’s shows that were canceled or have ended are: “90210,” “Cult,” “Emily Owens, M.D.” and “Gossip Girl”; for Fox we have: “Ben and Kate,” “The Cleveland Show,” “Fringe,” “The Mob Doctor” and “Touch.”

Next week, it’s NBC.

Campfire Swiss Steak

This main dish is so easy, you’ll want to camp out under the stars more often. And for those of you who consider sleeping in a motel as “roughing it,” you can always make it at home.

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 4 (4-ounce) lean minute or cube steaks 1 1/2 cups shredded carrots 1/2 cup chopped onion 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper 1/2 cup finely chopped celery 2 cups chopped raw potatoes 1 cup (one 8-ounce can) tomato sauce 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1. Cut four (18-inch) pieces of double thickness, heavy-duty aluminum foil. Lightly spray each piece with butter-flavored cooking spray. Place flour in flat saucer. Coat steaks on both sides with flour.

Place each steak on piece of prepared foil.

2. In medium bowl, combine carrots, onion, green pepper, celery and potatoes. Evenly place about 1 1/2 cups vegetable mixture over each steak. In small bowl, combine tomato sauce, parsley and black pepper. Spoon about 1/4 cup of sauce mixture evenly over top of each. Wrap securely.

If you really want to help, wonderful. Do it. But instead of cosigning on a loan, just give him or her the money. You heard me. Just hand it over now, and save yourself all that hassle with the lender later. What? You can’t afford to do that?

Then you cannot afford to cosign, either.

Whenever you cosign on a loan, you are entering a legal contract promising the lender that if the borrower defaults, you’ll willingly pay the loan on his or her behalf no matter how much it is or how long it takes.

So, are we clear on this? Never, ever cosign for a loan. Hear?

It’s one thing to battle over who gets the dog once divorce is imminent. It’s another to argue We scoop, disinfect and remove yo about the dog until divorce is imminent. This is a poop weekly for only $9.75 real problem -- poorly behaved dogs that destroy marriages and deflate budding romance. What to do about these canine homewreckers?

Heed the following letter from a reader:

“My dog will not let my boyfriend kiss me without growling or barking the whole time, and it is impossible to be intimate without my dog wanting to be on the bed with us. I have tried removing him from the room, but the barking only gets worse. It has become very awkward and uncomfortable. Please help.”

It’s clear who’s wearing the pants in this relationship -- and that someone else would prefer to be wearing less of them. But the dog’s running the show, and he’s determined to drown out the competition.

Since we can’t sit our pups down in front of an after-school special on the birds and the bees, we’re left with only one solution: training. Basic obedience training is an education all dogs should receive. It’s like sending your child to school: nonnegotiable.

Simple commands like “come,” “down” and “stay” are powerful tools in thwarting a canine homewrecker. And the appropriate supplies are essential. Provide your pup with a crate or doggie bed, and teach him to retreat to it on command. Adorn it with soft blankets and favorite chew toys to make it a desirable place to visit. If he resists, stand firm. You want your dog to love his resting place -- never banish him to his bed as punishment -- but he doesn’t get a say in when and whether to retire. Your “bedtime” is his bedtime. But your bed is not his.

No pup should have the run of the house before the age of 2. When you are home, confine the dog in an area of the house where you can at all times see him and quickly reach him to correct problem behaviors. Baby gates work great.

When you are not home, leave your dog in a comfortable crate with good visibility or confine him in a small area of the house. This is a necessary element of training and will help to establish you as the head of household, to keep him safe, and to give him time to learn the house rules and prove himself trustworthy.

Finally, if it’s all that incessant barking that’s coming between you and true love:

-- Keep a shake can nearby -- a tin can with a few coins inside will do. When your pup barks, give CASEY’S CORNER: Turn to page 10

In most men, prostate cancer screening causes more harm than good.

A short while ago, a patient in his mid-70s came to see me, telling me how grateful he was that a biopsy of his prostate to screen for cancer was negative. He indicated that because the Prostatic Specific Antigen (PSA) values in his blood screening for prostate cancer varied, he was having the measurements done every six months. His numbers had increased from 2.7 to 3.5, and so a biopsy was done.

Even though a value of 3.5 is in the normal range, he was told that any increase was significant, and it was better to be safe than sorry.

Well, fortunately for him, he did not have any adverse effects, but at his age, even the American Urological Association, the oracle for urologists, no longer advises PSA measurements. And a change in values within the normal range should virtually never be an indication for a biopsy screening for prostate cancer.

Rest assured that the physician who performed the biopsy sincerely believed that the procedure, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, could identify a cancer and save his life. It remains hard for any dedicated physician to change lifelong habits.

Whether it is screening tests for prostate cancer, routine stress tests to exclude coronary artery disease or annual mammograms and pap smears, years of experience and anecdotal information of lives saved lead to the continued performance of tests and procedures that are not recommended by many experts in the field.

Following recommendations of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, the urological association just issued its guidelines for PSA measurements to screen for prostate cancer. They recommend against screening in men under 40.

They do not encourage screening in men between 40 and 54, in those over 70, or those who have a life expectancy of less than 10 to 15 years.

They encourage men 50 to 69 have a discussion with their physician about the pros and cons of screening. If screening is done, the association suggests every two years be considered rather than annually.

Prostate cancer is most dangerous when diagnosed between 50 and 69 and in high-risk populations. These include black men and men with a strong family history of prostate cancer in

four quarters she needs to qualify for Social Security retirement benefits. Can you guess how much extra she would get if she qualifies for Social Security in addition to her SSI?

A:

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY

by Tom Margenau

How SSI Works

Before I get to today’s question, I must clarify some points about the Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, program.

Every single day, I get emails from people who confuse SSI with the Social Security program.

SSI has absolutely nothing to do with Social Security, other than the fact that it happens to be managed by the Social Security Administration.

Everyone knows what Social Security is.

You work, you pay Social Security taxes, and someday you retire and collect Social Security benefits.

Or someday you become disabled (before age 66) and become entitled to Social Security disability benefits. Or someday you die and your widow, or widower, or minor children start getting Social Security survivor’s benefits.

All of those benefits: retirement, disability, and survivors, are part of Social Security. Not one of those programs has anything to do with Supplemental Security Income.

SSI is a federal welfare program that pays a modest monthly benefit to very poor people who are either over age 65 or who are under 65 but disabled. You do not qualify for monthly SSI payments by working and paying taxes. You qualify simply by being a very poor U.S. citizen.

So please don’t send me emails telling me you are getting SSI when you are actually getting Social Security disability benefits. And please don’t go to the Social Security office and tell them you want to apply for SSI, when you actually want to file for Social Security retirement or disability benefits. And that is not simply a matter of semantics. I have given more than a few wrong answers to people because they incorrectly told me they were getting SSI. And Proof: IAd have heard from readers who intended to file for Social Security benefits, but instead told the Social Bram’s Security office that they wanted to apply for SSI pay1/16th page, BW, 26x rate [$59/wk] ments, and they ended up answering lots of welfareJan. 22 -questions April 15,about 2012their income and assets oriented before someone realized wrong application form [Volume 8: Issue #4 the -#16] was being used.

So please remember Social SeCorrections due by: 5 pm, Wed.that 01/18/12 curity and SSI are completely different programs. * * *

Q:

My 68-year-old mother is ver y poor and disabled. She is living off of a $710-permonth SSI check. That’s her only income. She has worked in the past and has 36 quarters of Social Security coverage. We are tr ying to talk her into taking any kind of job to get the extra

I can tell you exactly how much extra she would get -- $20. And you will have to decide if it really is worth it to push your almost 70-year-old mom out the door to get a job just so she can get an extra twenty bucks per month from the government!

Supplemental Security Income does exactly what its name implies: It supplements a person’s income up to certain limits. Those limits depend primarily on your living situation. In other words: Do you rent or do you own a home? And do you live alone or do you share household expenses with others? The SSI limit also depends on the state where you live. There is a basic federal grant: currently $710 per month. But some states augment that federal payment with their own funds. Alas, your mom must live in one of the cheap states because she is just getting the federal payment.

So again, the way SSI works is that it supplements your mom’s income up to that $710 level. As you said, she has no other income, so SSI just cuts her a monthly check for the full $710.

But if she had other income, they would simply reduce her SSI payment by a like amount -- with a bit of a twist that I will explain in a minute. If your mom works and gets her “40 quarters” (the minimum amount necessary to qualify for monthly retirement benefits), she would probably end up getting a very small Social Security check. Let’s say it would be $200 per month. The government would normally just take that off the top of her SSI payment, leaving her with only $510 in SSI benefits.

But the twist is that the rules say the government must disregard $20 of a person’s income when figuring the SSI payment. So if your mom started getting a $200 Social Security check, they would count only $180 of that and apply it against her SSI payment; meaning she would get $530 from SSI.

In other words, if your mom does get a $200 Social Security check, she’d then start getting $530 from the SSI program, giving her a total monthly income of $730.

As I said at the beginning of my answer to your question, that is only $20 more than the $710 she is currently receiving. If it were my 68-yearold mom, I wouldn’t make her flip burgers or greet customers at Wal-Mart for a year or so just to get

her 40 quarters and eventually get an extra $20 from the government. Instead, I’d slip her the extra twenty bucks per month. Or how about being a nice guy and help mom out with a couple hundred per month? But if you do, make sure you don’t tell the Social Security people about that. They might turn around and deduct that from her SSI check!

The Good Fairy Brings Good Luck Q:

This is a photo of a metal figure that belonged to my aunt. It always fascinated me when I was a child, and when my aunt passed away, my uncle gave it to me. He said he knew how much I liked it and thought my aunt would want me to have it. It stands 12 inches tall and is marked “J.M.R. -- 1916.” It is in perfect condition.

I will always treasure it and would never part with it. I plan to pass it down to my daughter. Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

The Good Fairy figure was the creation of Jessie McCutcheon Raleigh.

A:

Your figure is known as “The Good Fairy” and- was made by the Armour Bronze ComPROMO 3-10-2013 pany in New York in the early 1900s. It was made of gilded spelter (pot metal) and was produced in sever-

al sizes. Jessie McCutcheon Raleigh commissioned sculptor, Josephine Kern, to create the model. Raleigh was a doll maker and was inspired by the idea of creating a figure that represented friendliness, freedom and good luck. The Good Fairy brought so much joy and happiness to people that she quickly became popular and spawned “Good Fairy” clubs globally. “J.M.R.” are the initials of Jessie McCutcheon Raleigh and “1916” is the copyright date. The Good Fairy was also made into bookends, lamps and trophies. Some were painted white.

Your figure was made around 1916 and can be seen selling in the range of $400 to $700. * * *

Q:

This mark is on the bottom of a porcelain pitcher that was given to me by a relative at least 50 years ago. The pitcher is decorated with the image of a young woman and stands about four inches tall. The design is in relief.

I know nothing about how old it is, who made it or its value.

Art Nouveau Lady series was made

by Royal Bayreuth in Germany.

A:

Your cream pitcher was made by Royal Bayreuth around 1900. The company has been located in Tettau, Bavaria, Germany, since 1794. Your pitcher is an example of the “Art Nouveau Lady” series that included a plethora of pieces that included pitchers, toothpick holders, dresser sets, candlestick holders, vases, baskets, bowls and humidors. This series was available in both white satin finish and multi-colored finish. Pitchers can be found in three sizes: water, milk and cream.

The value of your cream pitcher would probably be $200 to $400.

Vol. IX

Issue 25

Angrily Ever After

Jimmy Connors is a jerk and mentally ill -and he goes through great pains to make that point clear in his memoir, “The Outsider.”

In between passive-aggressive personal attacks on tennis players and those surrounding the tennis game of his era, he ticks off a list of tics (he has OCD and ADD), bizarre circumstances and admitted shortcomings that have filled his life. In comparison to Andre Agassi’s (excellent) and John McEnroe’s (good) memoirs, Connors’ book mirrors the his style of play perfectly. Brash, rude, cocky, hard-hitting, stubborn and as weird as his T-2000 racquet and pageboy haircut.

This isn’t the kind of book you cuddle up with. The begins with his jarring recollection as an 8-year-old witnessing the brutal beating of his mother and grandparents by two thugs on a public tennis court in East St. Louis. This story puts the whole Williams sisters learning on the courts of Compton legend in the dust, and it’s impossible to say that what he witnessed that day did not affect his entire life.

But he continues playing under the tutelage of his mother and “two-mom” (the grandmother), and he begins to win amateur titles. His mother calls up her old boyfriend, former world No. 1 Pancho Segura, and asks him to take the reins from there. Segura is now the Beverly Hills Country Club teaching pro, and at the age of 16, Connors moves to Beverly Hills and starts partying with the Rat Pack -- literally.

He goes on to destroy everyone in the world. He wins most of his money in exhibition matches played against former greats who can’t stand him, like Rod Laver, in “winner-take-all” matches televised live on CBS from Caesars in Vegas. He then spends time at the Playboy Mansion, scores one of the most-beloved Playmates ever in Patti McGuire and lives angrily ever after.

Along the way, he throws several people -- two in particular -- under the bus. Arthur Ashe, universally revered for breaking the sport’s color barrier, introducing the game to the inner cities and reviving interest in the Davis Cup, receives no plaudits from Connors. Ashe died of AIDS two decades ago, but Connors still, apparently wants to fight the guy. He even talks fondly of the time he beat Ashe in South Africa, then partied in Sun City while buying blood diamonds for Chris Evert.

Here’s the spoiler: He reveals that Chrissie spoiled his backgammon match with John Wayne, trolled him for sex on the eve of big matches and had an abortion. He casts himself as the one done wrong, complaining that she wouldn’t have the kid and just retire, because there could be only one No. 1 in the family.

So yeah, finally we get the story as told by Jimmy Connors. In a book light on tennis insight, the best lesson learned is to be careful what you wish for. Sometimes it’s better not knowing.

Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in Kansas City. (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

TV DADS (from page page 3) More than 450 girls and boys were interviewed by the producer before narrowing the number down to the six Brady children. Although Mike was considered one of TV’s greatest dads (Number 14 on the TV Guide list), in actuality, actor Robert Reed strongly disliked the role and was difficult to work with on the set. He had been trained as a Shakespearean actor at London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, and viewed the show as a silly sitcom and beneath his acting abilities. However, Reed genuinely liked his co-stars and would even take them on trips during their summer break. The storylines were drawn from the producer’s own family as well as those of the cast members. It must have seemed very realistic to many viewers, as fan mail from children frequently arrived, asking if they could live with the Brady family, due to conflict and other troubles within their own families.  laugh a bit with

Professional Golf Tips with Tina Mickelson Dialing in on distance control

GOLF QUOTES “If profanity had an influence on the flight of the ball, the game of golf would be played far better than it is.”

-- Horace G. Hutchinson

Good distance control on the putting green is critical if you want to improve your score.

The next time you are warming up before a round of golf, try this drill to help you with your distance control: Put three tees in the ground, about 3 feet from each other. Drop a few balls about 15 to 20 feet away from the furthest tee. Putt your first ball to the furthest tee, your second ball to the second furthest tee, and your third ball to the closest tee. Repeat that a few times until you are able to dial in on each distance.

You will find that once you get out onto the golf course your are better able to adapt to the varying distances of each putt. You will see an improvement in both your putting confidence and in your score.
