usic, dancing and big hair, it’s Hairspray! Set in 1960s Baltimore, this Broadway smash musical tells the story of lovable plus-sized teen Tracy Turnblad, a misfit who becomes a local celebrity by dancing on TV’s Corny Collins Show, and whose passion for justice transforms her into an unlikely heroine, triumphing over both snotty teen queens and racial segregation. And she does it all without denting her ‘do. The show won eight Tony Awards when it premiered in ‘03, and it’s been knocking ‘em dead ever since. Hairspray is a musical based on the 1988 film of the same name which starred Divine and Ricki Lake by cult filmmaker John Waters. With music and lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman and book by Mark O’Donnell and Thomas Meehan, Hairspray originally opened to rave reviews on Broadway in 2003 and subsequently won eight Tony Awards. The production opened in London at the Shaftesbury Theatre in 2007 and won four Laurence Olivier Awards including Best New Musical. Proving to be an international success, Hairspray has also opened in South Africa, Japan, South Korea, China and Dubai. Following the musical’s phenomenal success on stage, a film of the musical was released in 2007 which starred John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer and James Marsden. This musical is where 60’s dance music is huge, and segregation is

still prevalent. The civil rights storyline is a very important aspect of the musical. This storyline and the show is empowering for African Americans as it brings the audience’s attention to their stories and the true events that were occurring in the 1960’s, and doesn’t shy away from exploring and exposing them to audiences all over the world. For example, the Corny Collins Show aspect of the musical, is based on a real show in 1960’s Baltimore called The Buddy Deane Show. Therefore, viewer’s can see the real sociocultural issues that were occurring in America during this time such as segregation, and events surrounding the Buddy Deane Show, which otherwise may have been forgotten. The heroine of the play who is a quirky plus sized teenager that wants nothing more than to dance on the hit television program. With the support of her friends, she advocates for the show to be integrated. But not everyone is accepting of Tracy, and she goes to battle with the show’s racist producer, Velma Von Tussle. Does Tracy succeed? Any age will enjoy this colorful musical filled with laughter, love, and embracing of oneself. “Hairspary! The Big Fat Broadway Musical” runs Wednesday through Sunday, March 8-24. Indio Performing Arts Center is located at 45175 Fargo Street in Indio. For tickets, call 760-321-3087 or visit dtworks.org.

A-Maze-Ing It gets pretty cold in Manitoba this time of the year and there’s plenty of snow so the proprietors of A Maze in Corn, a summertime attraction just south of Winnipeg, replaced it with A Maze in Snow to attract wintertime tourists. Owner Clint Masse believes his creation will make it into the Guinness Book of World Records. His snow maze measures more than 29,000 square feet, says the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC], significantly larger than the 17,222 square foot Thunder

When it’s time to find a nursing home for an elderly parent or your spouse, the decision can be the hardest part of the process. But it’s not the only tough part. Gathering information can make the task even more difficult. One source is Medicare’s nursing home comparisons (www. medicare.gov, then put nursing homes in the search box). Enter your ZIP code and you’ll get a list of places within 25 miles. They’ll each be rated with stars for health inspections, fire safety, staffing, quality of resident care and penalties. Make a special note of this last category; it can reveal a lot. Penalties can include the past three years of fines and denial of payments if the nursing home failed to correct a citation for health or fire safety. In a serious situation, a manager or state monitor might be called in to oversee the facility. Staffing is another big issue, especially if the nursing home

doesn’t have enough employees. Medicare keeps track of how many registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, nursing aides and physical therapists are on staff, and how many hours per day are devoted to working with patients. RNs, for example, are in charge of the patient’s overall care plan and supervise the other staff. Even having the right number of nursing aides per patient is critical to ensure that bathing, grooming, eating and more are managed for each patient. What might be most crucial, however, is how you feel when you first walk through the door. Do you hear any staff members speaking in a rude tone to any of the patients? Would you be able to visit all day? Is it noisy? Use the free online Medicare booklet about choosing a nursing home to understand your rights, learn who pays for what and how to get help, or call them at 1-800633-4227.

Social Security Matters: Using Health Savings Account (HSA) Funds While on Medicare Dear Rusty: My understanding is that once I’m on Medicare the HSA cannot be used. I have prescriptions that cost more with the Medicare Insurance than paying cash, so why can’t I use the HSA to pay for these types of prescriptions and for DME with prescriptions? Signed: Wanting to Know Dear Wanting: The “HSA” (Health Savings Account) is an excellent vehicle to save money tax-free to use for paying medical expenses not covered by other types of healthcare insurance, but the rules surrounding HSAs are often confusing. To be eligible for an HSA, your main healthcare coverage must be (or have been) a high-deductible plan which exposes you to significant healthcare expenses you must pay “out of pocket.” While you are working the HSA provides a savings account that you (and your employer) can contribute pre-tax dollars to, up to certain annual limits ($3,500 if you’re single and $7,000 for a family in 2019). The money contributed reduces your taxable income and thus your tax burden, and money withdrawn from your HSA account to pay medical expenses is not consid-

ered taxable income. Certainly, a win-win situation, but there are some restrictions that you need to be aware of: First, you and your employer must stop making HSA contributions 6 months prior to your date of application for Medicare Part A (hospitalization coverage). Enrollment in Part A is automatic if you are 65 when you apply for Social Security, because you cannot receive Social Security benefits without taking Part A if you are 65. Any HSA contributions made after the cut-off may be subject to tax penalties and they will not be considered pretax contributions (this applies to contributions from both you and your employer). But although you can no longer contribute to your HSA 6 months before applying for Part A, you can still use the money which has accumulated in your HSA to pay medical expenses for you and your spouse after you have enrolled in Medicare. A medicine or drug is a qualified medical expense for HSA purposes only if the medicine or drug requires a prescription or is available without a prescription (an over-the-counter medicine or drug) and you get a prescription for it or is insulin.

If you have prescriptions or expenses for durable medical equipment (DME), the cost associated with the purchase or rental of DME which is prescribed by a medical practitioner to alleviate or treat a specific medical condition is a qualified HSA expense. If it costs less to pay cash, you can use the accumulated funds in your HSA account to pay those expenses, rather than using Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan. And as an extra bonus, you can even get reimbursed for your Medicare Part B (and D) premiums using funds which accumulated in your HSA

account while you were working and contributing to it. This article is intended for information purposes only and does not represent legal or financial guidance.

Now Here’s A Tip By JoAnn Derson

• Replace mascara frequently. But if you need to freshen a tube of dry mascara, just add a few drops of contact solution to the brush and bottle.

• Make doctor’s appointments on or near a major holiday every year. That way you don’t end up forgetting when your last annual exam or dental cleaning was.

• “Use mismatched socks as wiper blade covers when you are expecting inclement weather. It will keep your wipers from freezing to your windshield, and if they get all yucky, you can just pitch them.” -- N.G. in Ohio

• If you seriously need to remove a color polish from your nails, but ran out of remover, try this trick: Paint the nail generously with clear polish, then use a dry cotton ball to wipe it off. Repeat as needed.

• “This tip is for gardeners who live in areas that don’t often freeze. I’m safe most of the year, but when temperatures do dip, I cover my vulnerable plants. In addition to the freeze cloth, I also add a string of twinkle lights, which can add a surprisingly margin of heat. And they look pretty as well.” -- M.M. in Georgia (c) 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.

Strange But True By Samantha Weaver

• It was French-German physician, philosopher and humanitarian Albert Schweitzer (pictured) who made the following sage observation: “In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.” ric pattern of precision, which is done with the human hair brush. Guadalupe Ledezma is also second generation potters. Guadalupe continues his parents style: black painted cuadricula squares on an elegant and rich brown clay background and added his own style by adding prairie dogs, owls and eagles popping out of the top of his pots.

• You might be surprised to learn that famed lover and heartbreaker Casanova eventually became a librarian. • In parts of Illinois, it was once illegal to put a cake in a cookie jar. • If you’ve ever yelled out a warning in panic -- “Stop!,” “Run!,” “Don’t!” -- you’ve used a monepic sentence; that is, one that is complete with just a single word. Of course, at the time you probably weren’t concerned about the grammatical nature of your utterance. • If you’re like the hypothetical average person, your mouth will create 10,000 gallons of saliva over the course of your lifetime.

*• It’s been reported that the country’s first pizza parlor was in New York City -- naturally. It opened in 1885, but barely got by. In 1895, it was sold for a mere $200 -- small change even in those times. • The bearded vulture is the only known animal whose diet is made up almost exclusively of bone. • It’s a well-worn trope that men refuse to stop and ask for directions when they’re lost. That point of view might seem to be supported by the results of a survey conducted by the American Automobile Association, which found that just 34 percent of male drivers admit to stopping to ask for directions. However, the same survey found that only 37 percent of women did the same. Thought for the Day: “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” -- Jiddu Krishnamurti (c) 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.

SALOME’S STARS WEEK OF FEBRUARY 25, 2019 BORN THIS WEEK: You get great joy out of creating beautiful things and sharing them with others who appreciate them. ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Try to say as little as possible about the work you’re doing through the end of the month. Then you can make your announcement and accept your well-deserved plaudits.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Getting out of an obligation you didn’t really want to take on can be tricky. An honest explanation of the circumstances can help. Next time, pay more attention to your usually keen instincts.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You face a more difficult challenge than you expected. But with that strong Taurean determination, you should be able to deal with it successfully by week’s end.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Use your Scorpion logic to push for a no-nonsense approach to a perplexing situation. This could help keep present and potential problems from creating more confusion.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Before you act on your “feelings” about that upcoming decision, it might be wise to do a little fact-checking first. You could be very much surprised by what you don’t find.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A friend’s problem might take more time than you want to give. But staying with it once again proves the depth of your Sagittarian friendship and loyalty.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A recent workplace success can open some doors that were previously closed to you. On a personal level, expect to receive some important news from a longtime friend and colleague.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The Sea Goat can benefit from an extra dose of self-confidence to unsettle your detractors, giving you the advantage of putting on a strong presentation of your position.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Put your wounded pride aside and do what you must to heal that misunderstanding before it takes a potentially irreversible turn and leaves you regretting the loss of a good friend.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might want to ask a friend or relative for advice on an ongoing personal matter. But be careful not to give away information you might later wish you had kept secret.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) One way to kick a less-than-active social life into high gear or rebuild an outdated contacts list is to throw one of your well-organized get-togethers for friends and associates.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Use the weekend for a creativity break to help restore your spiritual energy. Once that’s done, you’ll be back and more than ready to tackle whatever challenge you need to face.
