The initial objective was to feature carvings from head to waist, but lack of funding abbreviated the project. The task was completed in October of 1941. Unfortunately, Borglum passed away in March of that year, but his son Lincoln brought the project to completion.

• With the financial security George offered, Babe was able to give up endorsements and reestablish her amateur status. In order to do so, she had to play no other sports for three years.

By Samantha Weaver

• Once she was again an amateur, she dominated golf with victory after victory. She won 17 straight women’s amateur tournaments, a feat yet to be equaled. She also became the first American woman to win the British Women’s Amateur Golf Tournament.

● One of the former Duchesses of Windsor, when asked to reveal the secret to a long and happy life, replied, “Fill what’s empty, empty what’s full and scratch where it itches.” ● You might be surprised to learn that Italians spend more time on social media than people of any other nationality. ● In medieval times in Great Britain, those accused of a crime could prove their innocence (or guilt) in trial by battle. This law was unused and nearly forgotten for centuries. Then, in 1817, a man named Abraham Thornton was charged with murder in the death of a young woman named Mary Ashford. The evidence against Thornton was nearly overwhelming, but he claimed the right to trial by battle against his accuser. Since the law was still on the books, the court decided it had no choice but to grant his request. Thornton’s accuser was William Ashford, the victim’s brother, but since he declined to appear on the field of battle, Thornton was freed. Shortly thereafter, trail by battle was officially abolished in the country.

One of my favorite shows is AMC’s “Hell on Wheels.” Can you give me any clues about the season finale? -- Holly F., via email

Well, I don’t want to give too much away and spoil the surprise! But I did speak recently with series regular Kasha Kropinski (who plays Ruth), and she gave me a little tease as to what to expect as the season winds down. The South African beauty (who is a Kasha Kropinski total sweetheart!) told me: “People are going to be totally and utterly shocked by what happens in these last few episodes. It is totally left field what transpires. I think that people already have created an idea of what they think is going to happen. But I don’t think anyone could come up with what actually transpires. “Some new relationships develop; some unexpected relationships come to fruition. Expect some death and destruction, as usual -- it is ‘Hell on Wheels,’ after all. I don’t think that’s a spoiler at all. Just hold onto your socks because they might blow off.” ***

In a large bowl, combine apples, pineapple and reserved pineapple liquid. Stir in pecans and marshmallows. In a small bowl, combine whipped topping, sour cream and coconut extract. Add mixture to apple mixture. Mix well to combine. 2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Gently stir again just before serving. When serving, sprinkle 1 teaspoon coconut over each serving.

I was heartbroken when you announced that TNT had not renewed “Monday Mornings.” I spent 46 years as a registered nurse, mostly in a hospital, in various areas. This was the only hospital-based show I have been able to watch past the first episodes. I appreciated the doctors being challenged about decisions and outcomes. -- Elizabeth B., via email

I have received quite a few letters expressing dismay over the cancelation of “Monday Mornings.” This series hit home with a lot of viewers, but apparently not enough for the numbers people at TNT. I miss the days when networks gave shows longer than one season to build an audience, and gain momentum and a following. Imagine if “The Office” had debuted this season instead of 10 years ago: With the low numbers the show’s first season brought in, it would have been canceled in a flash. Just imagine all the great television we’d have missed out on! ***

Q: I feel like I’ve been waiting forever. When will “Awkward” return with new episodes? -- Nicole F., Athens, Ga.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

by Mary Hunt

The Return of the Slow Cooker The slow cooker, aka Crock-pot, is back. If you have one (a recent study says 77.8 percent of us do) now would be a great time to drag it out and give it another chance. ® I know what you’re thinking: The reason that slow cooker landed where it did is because by Mary Hunt it produced overcooked, bland tasting meals that could at best be considered semi-edible. I hear you. The problem is we probably didn’t know, much less adhere to, the basic fundamental culinary techniques of slow cooking.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

WHY SLOW COOK?  Convenience. A slow cooker can be left unattended all day. You can put ingredients in in the morning and forget about it until dinnertime, without worry of burning the house down. It’s safe as a nightlight.  Save money. The best slow-cooked ingredients are often the least expensive. Knowing dinner is all ready to go precludes unscheduled fast food runs and relieves guilt. The folks at Sunbeam say it costs only a penny to operate a slow cooker for six to eight hours. BASIC SLOW-COOKING TECHNIQUES  Follow a recipe. Use and carefully follow only recipes developed specifically for slow cookers. It’s a completely different way of cooking.  Don’t overcook. Just because six hours is good doesn’t mean eight hours will be better. Overcooking results in weird textures, tough and rubbery chicken, mushy messes, and bland offerings. Yuck.  Brown meats. For best flavor and

Tidbits of Coachella Valley

texture, ground beef or ground turkey should be browned on top of the stove before adding to slow cooker.  Don’t peek. Removing the lid for even a moment during cooking time allows the internal temperature to drop by up to 15 degrees. For each peek, add an additional 20 minutes cooking time.  Start cold but not frozen. Keep perishable foods such as meats, poultry and vegetables refrigerated until it’s time to cook.  Re-season. Flavors often become diluted with long slow cooking. So before serving any slow-cooked creation, taste and adjust the seasonings.  Use a timer. Careful timing is key to slow cooking. If your slow cooker doesn’t have a timer, don’t give up. Simply plug it into a lamp or appliance timer device you can purchase at the home improvement store for about $12. A timer will allow you to cook a dish requiring say six hours, even though you will be away for eight. Start the cooking no longer than two hours later after placing ingredients in the cooker. For poultry, begin no longer than one hour later. If you are anxious to make amends with your slow cooker, here is a personal favorite of mine that will give you great confidence and your family a delicious meal.

VetSuccess on Campus

What started as a pilot program at the University of South Florida in 2009 to help veterans make the transition from the military to academics now has expanded to VetSuccess centers on 94 campuses across the country. Part of the VetSuccess program includes having Department of Veterans Affairs vocational rehab counselors and a Vet Center coordinator right on the campus. Those counselors keep in touch with both VA Vet Centers and the other medical facilities where they can refer veterans for medical services and give help in applying for veterans benefits. The schools themselves are in favor of the arrangement and even provide space on the campus. The schools are chosen because of their proximity to other VA facilities, such as a regional offices, vocational rehab centers, employment services offices, medical centers or Vet centers. The fact that the pilot APRICOT-RUSSIAN CHICKEN program has grown by to more than 90 schools in Serves 8 to 10 four years is a testament to its success. 1 cup chunky apricot preserves If you’ve considered going back to school 3/4 cup bottled Russian dressing 1 (1.15 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix but haven’t because of your comfort level in a civilian or academic setting, call the counselors at your 12 skinless, boneless chicken breast school of choice.

We have a 7-month-old baby who is learning to crawl. When she starts moving, our 10-year-old Ridgeback/Pit bull mix gets anxious and starts circling her. Every once in a while when she is moving, he will charge at her and nudge her with his nose. Sometimes he will growl when he does that. Mind you, we do not let her crawl around without us there, and we push him away when we see him charging at her. He was OK with her until she started crawling. He follows us with her everywhere. Even when she is sleeping in her crib, he has to be in the room with her. He won’t leave her side. We feel that he is protecting her. When she is crawling, it is a different story. “Barnie” has had a tough life. We rescued him at 2 years old, and we were told at the shelter that he was beaten as a puppy. As for the baby, it seems like he is protecting her until she gets on the ground. Should we be worried about him charging her? What does that mean? Is he scared or threatened by her? Any suggestions would be appreciated. If you were on a boat in the middle of the ocean and you noticed a shark circling your boat, would you jump in the water? No. Would you feel scared or threatened? You bet. An animal circling something is in predator mode, and whatever he is circling is potential prey. It is no different when the parties involved are a dog and a baby. Charging can be an aggressive action. Growling is a clear and certain warning of escalating aggression. This couple has a tough decision to make. Their choices are: -- Find a new home for the dog. -- Find a new home for the baby. -- Find a way to keep the two away from each other 100 percent of the time. They were hoping to train the dog and eliminate the behaviors through training. But timing is everything. Baby is already crawling, and Barnie is 10 years old and circling. Barnie was fine as long as baby was lying still and quiet in her own crib. Crawling around all over his territory? Baby is a foreign body, an unknown entity, a strange and mobile creature on his turf. Barnie’s response? Circling, charging, nudging, growling. Translation: He doesn’t like it, and if you’re not going to do anything about it, he will. CASEY’S CORNER: Turn to page 10

Collectors of Teapot Not Clowning Around Q:

In 1959, at a Woolworth’s five-anddime store in Racine, Wis., I bought this clown teapot seen in this photo. The face is decorated with a glossy black glaze, his eyes are bright blue, and he has a round bright red nose. His hair is brown, and he is wearing a yellow straw hat. The handle is wire. On the bottom are the words “Pat. Pend.” It stands approximately 6 inches tall, 8 inches from the spout to the handle and is in mint condition. I always put it out for display but never used it for actually ser ving tea. Would you know anything about its origin?

Your clown teapot is collectible. It was made in Japan in the 1950s. They were originally marked with paper labels with the words “Thames -Made in Japan”. There were accessories that accompanied the teapot that included salt and peppershakers, cream pitchers, sugar bowls, cups and saucers. They also made a stacking teapot/cups set. Your clown teapot was made from red clay and is handpainted as were the accessories. The value of your teapot would probably be $75 to $125.

Mr. Ed hand puppets had a soft vinyl heads and cloth bodies. They had a pull-string to activate the voice. The cardboard box included instructions. A recent one, mint in box, was expected sell at auction for $200 to $400. Many public libraries offer assistance with the Internet. * * *

Enclosed is the mark that is on a set of dishes that I have. It originally belonged to my grandmother who bought it after World War II. The set consists of a sugar bowl, cream pitcher, teapot, coffee pot, six dessert plates, six cups and six saucers. Each dish is decorated with gold designs against a white background and all are in perfect condition. The plates and saucers have scalloped rims. What can you tell me about the maker, age and value of my set?

Weimar Porcelain made by C & E Carstens in Germany.

Weimar Porcelain was made by C. and E. Carstens Porcelain Factory. They have made porcelain in Blankenhain, Thuringia, Germany, since 1918. Your set was made in the mid- to late-1940s. Similar dessert sets are selling in the range of $175 to $275.

The Elevator Story “The Dean Martin Show” used to have a novel way of introducing guests. “Dean was famous for not wanting to work too hard ... it was part of his charm,” a gentleman remarked to me during an elevator ride. He saw I had a copy of “Dean and Me” by Jerry Lewis, and said he was one of the show’s producers once upon a time. “He would come in one day and shoot half of the season’s shows over the course of about eight hours ... so we would have to get all the scripts prepared, have all the entertainers ready to go that day, and it wasn’t always easy. Sometimes we’d be running around the back lots of the studio, grabbing any celebrity we could get our hands on and taking them right over, while we were shooting! “We’d put them behind the door of Dean’s ‘bachelor pad’ set, and he would open it and act all surprised by who was on the other end, only it wasn’t an act ... he was really surprised. We would pray he would recognize the other person, but he always did, thankfully.” The story checks out, but it doesn’t really matter ... it’s all part of Hollywood lore, and besides, everyone has that “elevator story” -- the time the door opened to reveal a sports star or celebrity or rich investor, etc. Here’s one that may or may not have happened: The elevator door of a Los Angeles hotel opens to reveal a stocky man with a golden coiff in a white turtleneck and navy-blue sport jacket. The two young, long-haired men -- one of them swigging from a beer bottle -- immediately recognize him as the 51-year-old owner of the New York Yankees, George Steinbrenner. The Yankees have lost three straight games to the Dodgers in the World Series, and the guy wearing the Dodger hat decides to get fresh. “The Yankees are a bunch of chokers,” he chuckles. “And they play for a bunch of animals in New York.” “[Bleep] you, buddy,” Steinbrenner cracks from the side of his mouth, not making eye contact. The guy with the bottle cheapshots him, wacking him in the head with it. Enraged, Steinbrenner reels around and clocks him in the mouth with a left uppercut. As he crumbles to the floor, Steinbrenner throws two right hooks to the other miscreant’s face. He hits the deck, too. Steinbrenner tidies up his jacket and hair and walks out into the lobby to meet his wife for dinner, leaving the two wallowing in a pool of blood and cracked teeth ... but only after he has a press conference to show his arm in a cast. “There are two guys in this town looking for their teeth,” Steinbrenner said. Funny thing is, we’re still looking for those guys. They’ve never been heard from again. Looks like they were the real quitters after all. Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in Kansas City.

He is the only British Prime Minister in history to have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature (in 1953), and was the first person to be made an honorary citizen of the United States. • In October of 1964, Martin Luther King, Jr. became the youngest man to have received the Nobel Peace Prize. Just 35 years old, his efforts at combating racial inequality earned him the honor.

It was followed by the number two and three hits “I Get Around” and “Help Me, Rhonda.” The single sold over 230,000 copies during the first four days after its released. Rolling Stone magazine lists the tune as Number Six on their list of “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.” • Rowland Macy opened his “fancy dry goods” store in October, 1858 on New York’s Sixth Avenue. First-day sales totaled $11.08, about $293.47 in today’s currency. Macy’s became the first department store to have an in-store Santa for the Christmas season in 1862. Today, Macy’s operates 798 locations across the United States. 

Professional Golf Tips with Tina Mickelson

Deep Fairway Rough When you ﬁnd yourself in deep fairway rough, it is tempting to take a longer iron or fairway wood and try to hit it as far as humanly possible. But the smarter and safer approach is to just get it back into the fairway and set yourself up for your next shot. So the next time you are in deep fairway rough, here are a few things to consider: • Make sure you use a club with enough loft. You don’t want to use anything more than an 8-iron. This ensures you can get the club face to the ball with enough loft to get it out of the rough. • Open the club face slightly when you set up to the ball. At impact the heel of the club tends to get caught up in the grass, causing the club face to shut down a bit, causing the ball to go left. By opening the club face at address you are allowing for this. • Set up with your weight slightly on your front leg, play the ball back in your stance, and open your stance just a bit. All of this promotes a steeper swing, helping the club face strike the ball first instead of getting caught up in the heavy grass. • Grip the club firmer than usual to ensure it doesn’t come loose in your hands at impact. Keep these factors in mind when you find yourself in deep fairway rough and you will get yourself out more easily and consistently. Tina Mickelson PGA
