Vol. IX Issue No. 44

by Janet Spencer

For centuries mankind’s only way to see themselves as others do was in a pool of calm water or on whatever shiny surface was handy. It was a long journey before a new way was discovered to really give us a critical look at our own gorgeous mugs. Follow along to learn more about the fascinating subject of mirrors as Tidbits takes you on a tour through the looking glass. • Metal-coated glass mirrors were invented in the first century AD in Sidon, which is modern-day Lebanon. In 77 AD, the Romans developed a way to make mirrors by coating blown glass with melted lead. Once the ability to create flat panes of glass was discovered, inventive minds of the curious were inspired to find a way to improve upon its ability to reflect images. • A method of coating a plate of flat glass with a thin sheet of reflecting metal was developed in Venice during the 16th century using tin and mercury as a backing. Although it wasn’t realized at the time, the toxic vapors of mercury and its regular contact with their skin was extremely hazardous to the craftsmen who frequently handled the substance.

• In 1916, the Germans asked her to spy for them. At the time, she was having an affair with a German police officer, and it’s thought he may have been the one who convinced her to do it. By now she was nearing 40 and in need of money. Later the French also approached her to act as a spy for France, hoping to use her womanly wiles to coax secrets out of German officers.

MIRRORS (from page one) Mirrors were a rare luxury, quite expensive, and a lucrative business for the Venetian producers. Other businessmen, particularly those in France, were jealously determined to find a way to copy their method. • In 1665, the French chief minister to Louis XIV went to Venice and -- at the risk of death and with huge sums of bribe money -- convinced 18 Venetian mirrorsmiths to quietly pack up and move to France, bringing their secret methods and formulas with them.

• Louis XIV was delighted and fascinated with this new concept and purchased some 700 large mirrors to line an entire hallway in a stunning display at the Palace of Versailles. An added benefit was that candles in elaborate sconces along the walls were now reflected by the mirrors, doubling their brilliance and the amount of illumination at night. • As the reputation of the French mirror makers spread across Europe, Venice kindly offered to send some of their very best glassmakers to France to “help out” at the factories. France wisely declined, preferring to keep their secret methods secret. known that silver would make a better mirror than mercury or tin, but the problem was finding a way to get silver to stick to glass.

FREDERICK AUSTERLITZ

• Frederick Austerlitz II was born in Omaha, Nebraska in 1899. He was very close in age to his older sister Adele, and he accompanied her to her ballet lessons because his parents didn’t want to pay for a babysitter. Mimicking his sister’s steps, he found he was light on his feet and soon became the best dancer in the class. • They began performing a brother and sister act at the age of five, with their mother as manager. Soon they developed an act and broke into the vaudeville circuit. Thinking the name Austerlitz lacked class and finesse, their mother changed the name to Astaire. Gaining popularity in their teens, they made it to Broadway, eventually starring in the Gershwin musical “Funny Face.” • When Adele retired from dancing in order to get married in 1932, Fred was cast adrift and decided to try to break into film on his own. A studio executive wrote concerning his first screen audition: “Can’t sing. Can’t act. Slightly balding. Also dances.” • He landed a small role in the 1933 film “Dancing Lady” starring Joan Crawford, and shortly afterwards was cast with Ginger Rogers in “Flying Down to Rio.”

• Not only was his singing dubbed in films, but his tap dancing was as well. His legs were insured for one million dollars. • He was self-conscious about his hands, which he felt were too large. When dancing with his arms outstretched, he would disguise the size Paper Doll Interiors, Inc. of his hands by curling his two middle fingers 1/3 pg. 4C 13x disc. towards his palms.

Q: What’s next for Christian Bale? -- Barry T., Minneapolis

I was surprised to see Peter Facinelli guest-starring on “Glee” this fall. It got me to wondering what his ex-wife, Jennie Garth, is up to now? -- Holly U., Tampa, Fla.

A: Jennie is

in talks to co-star in a new sitcom for ABC Family with former “Beverly Hills, 90210” co-star Tori Spelling. The pilot is called “Mystery Girls,” and it’s based on a story that Tori co-wrote with screenwriter Shepard Boucher. According to Us Weekly magazine: “Mystery Girls” is a comedy Jennie Garth about a former starlet (Tori) who starts solving crimes with her former mystery-TV-show co-star (Jennie) after a witness to a crime refuses to talk to anyone except the infamous Mystery Girls.” And although I think “Us” meant to use the word “notorious” and not “infamous,” I think you get the idea of what the sitcom is about. ***

Now that “Breaking Bad” is over, what’s next for Br yan Cranston? -- Donald F., via e-mail

Of Christian’s current projects, the one I am most eager to see is the gritty thriller called “Out of the Furnace,” which opens Dec. 6. Boasting an all-star cast of Christian, Woody Harrelson, Forest Whitaker, Casey Affleck, Willem Dafoe, Zoe Saldana and Sam Shepard, the story centers on Russell Baze (Christian), whose younger brother, Rodney (Casey), mysteriously disappears. When law enforcement fails to (or is too afraid to) follow through, Russell decides to search for justice himself. ***

I was wondering if you have any news on “Body of Proof”? Is it coming back? -- Robin W., via email

I’m sorry to report that the Dana Delany-starring medical drama was canceled by ABC after three seasons. All three seasons are available on DVD, if that is any consolation. Write to Cindy at King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475; or e-mail her at letters@ cindyelavsky.com. (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

Frontier Beef Stew Nothing says “home is where the heart is” better than a satisfying bowl of savory stew -- especially when it’s made in minutes instead of hours! Why don’t you stir up a pot of this and see if your family doesn’t agree? 1 cup chopped onion 1 cup uncooked instant rice 1 (12-ounce) jar fat-free beef gravy 1 cup water 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 2 cups diced cooked lean roast beef 1 1/2 cups frozen peas 1 (8-ounce) can diced carrots, rinsed and drained 1. In a large saucepan, combine onion, uncooked rice, beef gravy and water. Bring mixture to a boil. Stir in undrained tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce. Add beef, peas and carrots. Mix well to combine. 2. Lower heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Makes 6 (1 cup) servings. HINT: If you don’t have leftover roast beef, purchase a chunk of cooked lean roast beef from your local deli, and dice when ready to prepare stew.

Winter Looms Large for Homeless Vets Did you buy a new coat for winter? Is there any chance you can give up your old one? And maybe some good gloves and a hat? There are homeless veterans out there who could use them. With temperatures dropping, here are a few ways you can help homeless veterans this winter: --Donate clothing and other basics: Call the Department of Veterans Affairs medical center nearest you and ask for Voluntary Services. Most locations keep a clothing closet for homeless veterans who come in and need help, or those who are moving out of rehab into a place of their own. Maybe the clothing closet is good to go on coats but has completely run out of lined jeans and gloves. Maybe they need shirts in a super large size, or even personalcare items and a sports bag to carry everything in. Ask if they need a transition package of household supplies, like soap, towels, toilet paper and a laundry basket. --Sign up to give rides: Voluntary services can help you with that, too. Homeless veterans often have to get to doctor appointments the best way they can, and in cold weather that can be tough. Look into driving opportunities through the Disabled American Veterans. --Volunteer at a Stand Down: Go online to www.VA.gov and see when there’s an event near you. They run from January to November, and this time of the year the emphasis is going to be to get homeless veterans warm and into housing. Call and ask what you can do to help. If you’ve a veteran in need of help, call 1-877424-3838, also known as 1-877-4AID-VET. It’s staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and can help with health care, housing, mental health, jobs and more.

One of my dear friends recently lost their beloved dog. I encouraged her to share her experience in words, and she did: It’s been three weeks since my dog died. When I realized that just now, I made a quick and quiet wish that time would stop. Or better, reverse. I don’t want to be any further from the time when he was still breathing, still working that sniffer, still soft and warm in my arms. I don’t want it to be real. Some call it self-indulgence. I call it grief. I resent the clock and its relentless ticking. Time moving on. The earth spinning. The sun setting. The moon smiling, taunting. The only thing that feels good is the rain. Seems right. Some acknowledgment from the world that mine has forever changed. A nod from Mother Nature. He was just a dog. And I am just a woman. Why is the death of a person more important, more profound? Why is it supposed to be felt deeper? Is it because we put a man on the moon? Because we invented the wheel and took flight, tamed fire and electricity, created a new universe of sorts with the Internet and kept 33 men alive half a mile underground for 69 days? That’s the anger talking. It’s all very impressive, the accomplishments, the developments. But impressive doesn’t make you feel like skipping. That’s the truth. Percy Burtch was born on March 1, 1996, the smallest of a litter of six dachshund/beagle/Chihuahua pups. My roommate at the time plucked him from the bed of a pickup truck somewhere on the outskirts of Austin, Texas. On a college-girl whim, she brought Percy home to our apartment that didn’t allow dogs. On that very ordinary day, everything changed. It was clear from the beginning that Percy was, in a word, unusual. He was alternately standoffish and playful. Shy and bossy. Sweet and sour. Jekyll and Hyde. Even as a puppy, he gave the impression of having deeply entrenched opinions on the life he should be living, the company he should be keeping, the things he should be doing, eating, playing with, gnawing on. My roommate decided she couldn’t hack it and put an ad in the paper: “Adorable puppy -- free!” He was adorable. But I feared she and the ad would mislead Percy’s next owner, making it likely he’d end up being passed off to yet another home or dumped at a shelter. As the voice mails came in responding to the ad, I deleted them. All of them. There was no way this handsome pup with the deep brown CASEY’S CORNER: Turn to page 10

I learned a lot about grieving in an article written by Dr. Edward Creagan, an oncologist from the Mayo Clinic. He recommends the following: 1. Actively grieve and mourn. Ignoring the pain, immediately returning to work and hiding inner feelings are a recipe for disaster. 2. Acknowledge your pain and loss. Celebrating a wonderful life helps us remember the integral role our loved one played in making us who we are, but the pain persists. Only by understanding these feelings of pain can acceptance and healing occur. 3. Look to loved ones for support. Remaining close to and around those you love makes the loss less severe. Closely discussing feelings with family or a spiritual healer will help bring understanding and comfort. 4. Don’t make decisions soon after a loss. At this time, decisions can be made that may be regretted in the future. Wait until life seems more balanced and centered before making decisions about staying, moving, taking a new job, changing investments or altering a will. 5. Take care of yourself. Make sure that you have regular medical checkups, eat right and exercise. Don’t be lonely, and see to it that your emotional needs are met. 6. Time heals but may not cure. The extreme emotional and even physical pain may dull but persist for extended periods. If grief prolongs or worsens after six months seek comfort from someone trained in grief counseling. My mother will always be remembered, and we as a family need time to mourn. But we take comfort in the fact that we shared a great life together and that she died in her own bed surrounded by family she loved. Her dignified death reflected a better life.

Dealing With Grief

How many sons are blessed to reach the age of 70 and still have an active, involved and loving mother? Only 19 years older than I, my mother and I grew up together. As long as I can remember, she has been my inspiration and a wise advisor. She knew how to generate guilt as well as any Jewish mother. “Thank God your father was not alive to see this,” she said when I told her I would not travel the thousands of miles to South Africa to attend the Bar Mitzvah of one of my many nephews. To her nothing was more important than family. She lived the fullest of lives. After losing my father at the tender age of 46, she remarried twice and finally lived for many years with a man 15 years her senior. She was very sociable and attracted men like flies to candy. She embraced life to the fullest, traveled and remained in close contact with her family. An avid bridge player, she was ranked nationally and had played competitively almost every day. At 89, her active life effectively ended after she broke her hip, shoulder and nose from a fall. Soon after, she had two strokes and remained almost bed bound, unable to speak, requiring assistance to meet all of her needs. She remained like this for 10 months, being lovingly cared for by her Dr. David Lipschitz is the author of the book “Breaking the Rules of Aging.” To find out more about Dr. one child remaining in South Africa.

I immediately flew with my family to South Africa to grieve together and attend her funeral. My initial reaction was one of deep relief. For the final year of her life, my mother was alive but no longer with us. That sense of relief made me feel guilty. Why could I not cry, and why was I not grieving more?

CASEY’S CORNER (from page 9) eyes was going to suffer that fate. I was in love. I learned so much trying to figure that dog out. The two of us being of German stock, we were stubborn and butted heads. I was young, impatient and still indulging my desires for instant gratification and anything that felt good. He was food-aggressive, hyper-territorial, resistant to my amateur attempts at training -- a total Alpha nightmare. But the good trumped the bad, and I smelled potential. He was remarkably smart and curious, not to mention exceedingly loyal and protective. He chased away more than a handful of unsavory characters. He prevented a break-in while I was home alone. He made me feel safe when my peace of mind had been assaulted. He made me feel like skipping. Over the next 14 years, Percy and I reached an understanding. And I learned three very important things: 1) A good walk has the power to erase bad will. 2) It’s vital to stop and sniff. Often. 3) There’s nothing like a road trip to cure what ails you. I’ve done two things in the past two months of which I’m very proud: When it became clear that Percy’s time would be shorter than expected, I cleared my calendar as best I could and we hit the road. I will never forget the toothy, tongue-dangling grin on his face as we crossed the Continental Divide together for the umpteenth time. And two weeks later, when it was obvious that Percy’s kidneys would not rebound, that his quality of life was not what he deserved, was not what I wanted for him or would want for myself, I asked his vet, an exceptionally kind and compassionate man, to come to the house to administer an injection that would end my little guy’s suffering. And he did. Rest in peace, sweet Percy. We had a great ride.

Quick and Dirty Social Security

As many of you might guess, there are some questions that I am asked over and over again. And every once in a while, I like to write a column in which I cover as many of these common questions as possible. Today, I will give quick and dirty answers to ten of them. In many respects, I don’t like doing this because there are so many variables and exceptions associated with almost all Social Security rules. So when I give short and concise answers, I will inevitably have to leave out the ifs, ands or buts that are often needed to clarify the answer. But today, I’m going to sacrifice quality for quantity:

Is my Social Security benefit based on my highest 10 years of earnings, or my last three?

A Social Security retirement benefit is based on your average inflation-adjusted monthly income using a 35-year base of earnings. * * *

If I start to work part time a few years shy of age 62, will my benefits be severely cut because I have reduced earnings just before retirement?

Because your benefit is based on a 35 year base of earnings, the impact of some years of reduced or even no earnings is greatly lessened. Your eventual Social Security benefit won’t be as high as it would have been had you kept working full time right up to your retirement date. But you should not

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My next-door neighbor turned yellow ... bright yellow. I had never seen that before. Her husband says she has jaundice. What exactly is that? How is it treated? -- C.M.

Why Some Women Have Mustaches

ANSWER: Jaundice indicates that the skin and the whites of the eyes have turned yellow. It’s not an illness. It comes from the French word for yellow. Jaundice indicates liver trouble. When the liver is functioning normally, it clears the blood of bilirubin, a byproduct of worn-out red blood cells. If the liver’s not up to par, bilirubin levels in the blood rise, and that turns the skin and whites of the eyes yellow. Your neighbor’s doctor has the task of finding the cause of jaundice. Only if the cause is identified can the liver be properly treated. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Isn’t liver cirrhosis the final cause of death in alcoholics? My dad was an alcoholic, but he didn’t die of cirrhosis. Why? -- L.C.
