hose of us who embrace culture are well covered with the debut of a bright new signature art event presented by SCOPE Events.

Guests will be able to “oooh” and “ahhh” at the jury-selected artwork spanning 12 media categories exhibited by over 220 world-class artists hailing from 35 states and abroad. Art will include 2D and 3D mixed media, ceramics, drawing, pastel, fiber, glass, jewelry, painting, photography, sculpture and wood. There will also be a fascinating digital art installation.

The works of six featured artists will be represented on a series of collectible 2020 posters, including those from Erin Hanson from San Diego and David Palmer from Pasadena.

Besides soothing the soul with the extensive original art exhibits, guests will remain refreshed by clinking champagne flutes at the Moët & Chandon Oasis Lounge and sipping top shelf spirits poured at the Ketel One Botanical Bar and lakeside Margarita Island featuring Don Julio 1942 tequila. Attendees can also savor upscale menu selections and premier wines while dining al fresco at the Celebration Bistro. There will also be a gourmet food court and a winery row featuring wines from San Luis Obispo, Napa and Sonoma counties.

Having a social life. For some of us that might mean being part of a group that meets regularly.

For others it might mean talking to friends on the phone daily.

What Makes Us Happy?

Answer to word search on page 9

//

Having enough income. It turns out that many who are living only on Social Security can have enough to make it through the month if they made wise decisions before retiring. Paying off the mortgage is a big one.

Being listened to, or at least not being disregarded. There’s something about aging that seems to make us melt into the background, and if we have opinions or comments, people don’t always listen. Medical staff seem to rank very high on this list of people who really aren’t listening. Being heard is important.

Freedom. This comes in many forms. It might mean continuing to drive; it might mean watching only what we want on television.

Laughing. Finding something amusing every day ranked high on the list of what makes us happy. Sometimes it was reading the next page of a joke-a-day calendar. Sometimes it was talking to a friend who had a great, skewed view of the world.

Having a reason to get up every day. Whether it’s a hobby, a good book or a social gathering, having a reason to look forward to the next day was key.

And what does it mean if we’re happy? A study monitored 3,000 seniors over the course of eight years to see how happiness impacted physical function. Researchers found that happy people decline more slowly. Conversely, unhappy people were three times more likely to develop health problems.

Where do you fall on the happiness spectrum? (c) 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

Dear Paw’s Corner: My cat “Dorito” was hit by a car last year and left injured by the side of the road. A neighbor called me when he saw Dorito’s orange fur in the ditch, and I found him and rushed him to the vet. His treatment cost thousands of dollars, and he’ll never be the same healthy cat again. I’m angry that the person who hit him just drove on and never notified me, and I’m stuck with the bill. The police took a report, but nothing came of it. Why do people get away with running down animals with no repercussions? ­— Angry in New Hampshire Dear Angry: I’m really sorry to hear about your cat, and I understand the anguish that you’ve suffered from watching him suffer so much.

While laws vary by state, in New

Hampshire there actually are repercussions for drivers who strike a dog and leave the scene without reporting the incident to police.

A bill in the state legislature is being considered that will add cats to the current law.

If the driver had stopped to try and aid Dorito or at least try to find his owner, that driver would likely have not faced any repercussions or even be held liable for striking your cat. That’s usually the case when a pet running loose — off leash or off the property — is hit by a car. However, it would have been the decent thing to do for that driver to have stopped.

I wish I had more to offer than words of sympathy. It’s difficult to see a pet in pain. Take good care of Dorito and help him to recover as much as he can. (c) 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

Q: Do you know if “The Orville” will be returning? We thoroughly enjoy this show and are looking for its return date. — N.M.

ANSWER ON PAGE 9

A: The futuristic space comedy brought to you by Seth MacFarlane (“Family Guy”), who not only created the show but also stars in it, will be back for a third season, but not until late 2020.

Sorry, a specific day or even month hasn’t been pinned down, but MacFarlane explained at the San Diego Comic-Con last summer that “the show has evolved and become more ambitious production-wise,” and that the delay between seasons would be “challenging for the network [Fox].”

Hence, a deal was struck with Hulu to air the third season exclusively after a long hiatus.

Hulu had been streaming “The Orville” after it aired on Fox, and apparently it was a big hit with its subscribers. According to Deadline.com, Craig Erwich, Hulu senior vice president of original programming, stated: “The Orville has a very loyal following on Hulu, so when there was an opportunity to bring a new season to our viewers, we jumped at it. I will see the first episode next week. We’ll monitor and evaluate the show as it goes.”

Q: Is it true that the Silver Surfer character will be in Marvel’s next Thor movie? — J.B. A: “Thor: Love and Thunder” isn’t set for release until fall of 2021, but the rumors are flying about which villains he’ll be up against. One is indeed the Silver Surfer, and it’s anyone’s guess who will play him, as the names Christian Bale, Keanu Reeves and Rami Malek all have been tossed

Seth MacFarland in “The Orville” Photo coutesy of FOX

around. Malek is reportedly being eyed to play the character in a DC film in which the Silver Surfer is the main character, not just a foe in the Thor project.

As for “Love and Thunder,” Natalie Portman returns as Jane Foster alongside Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, but in this fourth installment look for her character to take on a new persona as well.

Comic book fans already know, but I won’t spoil it for you in case you don’t know.

Q: Was the actress who plays Rosalind on “The Rookie” also on Nathan Fillion’s old series “Castle”? — D.E. A: Good memory! Yes, Annie Wersching has had regular and guest-starring roles on several prime-time dramas and thrillers, including “Castle,” “Bosch,” “Timeless” and now ABC’s “The Rookie.” Her first speaking role on television was back in 2002 on “Star Trek: Enterprise,” but after that, like Fillion, she got a lot of experience memorizing dialogue on a daytime soap (she as Amelia on “General Hospital,” and Fillion was Joey on “One Life to Live”).

Wersching is good at playing psychopaths. She played one on “GH,” and on “Castle” her character was a prison doctor who fell for a murderer and became his accomplice. On “The Rookie,” she plays a serial killer awaiting her fate on death row. (c) 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

Desert Art Festival Moves to The River after Palm Springs Nixes Permits The Desert Art Festival has a new home: The River at Rancho Mirage. The Art Festival will be held Saturday and Sunday, March 7 and 8, at the Rancho Mirage shopping center and events venue at 71800 Highway 111.

The Desert Art Festival has long been held at Frances Stevens Park in Palm Springs, but the city of Palm Springs denied permits, saying the festival had gotten too large for the park, among other concerns.

Ronda Mills, head organizer of the festival, said the city sent her scrambling after denying the permits three weeks before the event was scheduled to begin.

“Letters of support for the event were submitted by artists, local businesses and the local community to City Council, the city manager and Mayor Geoff Kors,” Mills said in a news release.

“We did not hear a word from any of the city representatives regarding the permit applications, the denial or any reason behind the denial.”

City Manager David Ready told broadcast media that the city was

‘Cotton Ball’ Sensation Is a Sign of Neuropathy Dear Dr. Roach: I’m a 63-yearold male diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia, Type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease. I am 5 feet, 11 inches and weigh 240 pounds. I have two stents and take Sprycel for the CML. My levels are good, and the coronary disease is under control.

For a few years I’ve had what feels like “cotton balls” under the skin in the area of the balls of my feet.

Now it feels like it’s migrating to the arch. While not too uncomfortable, it is almost impossible to walk barefooted. Some type of foot covering is needed to keep from noticing the feeling. My doctor says it’s the diabetes, and to lose weight or see a podiatrist. Other than losing the weight, do you have any opinion about this? -- N.M. Answer: Cotton-ball sensation is one way that many people describe the beginning of neuropathy, a conditions that affect the nerves of the body.

concerned about the new traffic patterns on Indian Canyon and Alejo Road.

Kors gave an interview saying he was also concerned that a forprofit business, West Coast Artists, was getting use of a public park.

Mills responded that The WCA Arts Foundation has been an established nonprofit since 2002.

The future of the festival is still up in the air. WCA planned to host its next festival March 21-22 and the city of Palm Springs offered to issue a permit, but Mills said new city restrictions make holding the event at Frances Stevens Park impossible.

The city would limit the number of artists to 55 and said a four-acre lot used for parking must be dust controlled at least seven days before the festival. Mills called those requirements impossible. WCA would also have to be hire police security at a cost of $5,036.

“Needless to say, the city of Palm Springs has squashed the 33-year old Desert Art Festival and has forced it to be moved out of Palm Springs,” she said.

In a person with cancer (like CML, chronic myelogenous leukemia, a cancer of the bone marrow) and a new symptom, it is always wise to consider whether it could be due to the cancer, the treatment for the cancer or from something else.

In your case, usually CML is not associated with neuropathy. However, the medicine you are taking, dasatinib (Sprycel), has been associated with a severe kind of reversible neuropathy. I read the case reports of this condition carefully, and I doubt that is what is going on with you, as the symptoms you have are different from those reported.

People with longstanding diabetes frequently develop a particular disease of the nerves, diabetic neuropathy. This almost always begins with sensation changes in the feet. I agree with your doctor that diabetes is the most likely cause.

Seeing a podiatrist is a good idea. They can test you for this condition, in addition to looking carefully for any early signs or risk factors for injury or infection.

You also should learn how to do a daily inspection of your feet and recognize the signs, so you can get to medical attention promptly should any damage to your feet occur. The podiatrist will make sure you have appropriate footwear.

Many people with diabetes benefit from weight loss, but the important thing is to be sure your diabetes is under good control. This is achieved through good diet, regular exercise and medication. (c) 2020 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

By AMAC Certified Social Security Advisor Russell Gloor Dear Rusty: Can or does the Social Security Administration occasionally make mistakes in determining the benefits due? I’m now 72 but I retired early at age 61 and knew that my benefits would be reduced. I’ve always wondered if my monthly benefit calculation was incorrect but did not know how to address my concerns. If it is possible, could you direct me in how to handle with the SS Administration?

Signed: Skeptical of My Benefit Dear Skeptical: Can the Social Security Administration ever make mistakes? Of course they can, and do, but not really very often considering that they are dealing with tens of millions of beneficiaries, and especially when it comes to computing benefit amounts. Since nearly all benefit computations are done by computer, the usual source of any error is almost always from using incorrect input data. The actual benefit computation formula, while complex, is very standard and well proven; if an error occurs in a basic benefit computation, it is usually because a person’s lifetime earnings record contains an error. Having said that, let’s explore why you feel your benefit may not be correct.

When you say you “retired early at age 61” I assume that means you claimed your Social Security early at age 62 (the minimum age). Since your full retirement age is age 66, that means that by claiming at age 62 your benefit was cut by 25% from what it would have been at age 66. Also, any benefit estimate you had from Social Security prior to claiming made the assumption that you would continue to earn at your current level until you reached your full retirement age.

If you “retired” and stopped working and earning at age 61, the benefit you are entitled to is less than that estimate you had from Social Security at age 61.

So, how can you address your concerns? I suggest the first thing you do is get a copy of your lifetime earnings record from Social Security. You can do this by calling them and requesting it or, if you have a “My Social Security” personal account, you can obtain it online. You should verify that all of your lifetime earnings are properly reflected in Social Security’s records (SS gets your earnings data from the IRS). Note that only your earnings up to the maximum payroll tax for each year count because that’s all you paid SS FICA tax on; if your actual earnings in any year were more than the annual payroll tax cap, only the amount up to that year’s tax cap is used. Be aware that if you find an error, you will need to prove it to Social Security by showing them a copy of your W-2 or your Federal Income tax return for the year(s) in question. If your lifetime earnings record is in order, then you are almost certainly getting the correct benefit. When computing your benefit, Social Security adjusts each year of your lifetime earnings to today’s dollar value, so inflation shouldn’t be a factor either. The highest earning 35 years over your lifetime (adjusted for inflation) are used to determine your benefit amount.

If you’re still uncomfortable that you may not be getting the correct benefit, you should call Social Security directly and ask them to review your benefits to make sure you are receiving the correct amount. Social Security has all of your lifetime earnings data immediately available and can quickly determine if your benefit amount is correct based upon the earnings history shown in your record.

This is No ‘Fish Story’ Justin Hamlin got lucky on Valentine’s Day this year but his luck didn’t last long. He caught a record-breaking fish in Keystone Lake near Tulsa that Friday -- a paddlefish weighing in at about 157 pounds. But, alas, he could not claim the record, reports the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation made him release it. It seems that the American paddlefish is classified as a vulnerable species

and so the state’s fishing regulations require paddlefish caught on Mondays and Fridays must be released. Though he can’t claim the record, he does have the satisfaction of knowing his catch outweighed paddlefish that won the state’s record [132 pounds] and the world record [144 pounds].

Defrauding the VA Why do these people think they’ll get away with their crimes against the Department of Veterans Affairs? Don’t they realize that they’re ultimately going to get caught?

Item: A Michigan woman defrauded the U.S. government of over $1.75 million in veterans benefits over five years. She submitted false applications for veterans’ programs such as pension and Aid and Attendance, then altered

medical records to indicate that the veterans had qualifying conditions. Then, unknown to the veterans, she had the money sent to her bank accounts. This criminal could get 20 years in the slammer.

She deserves every day of it.

Item: A New York man was sentenced to 10-1/2 to 21 years for stealing money that was supposed to pay the rent of homeless veterans in his community, money that was gathered by nonprofit groups.

The amount stolen wasn’t astronomical, but it was good enough to get four counts of grand larceny in the third degree and one count of scheme to defraud in the first degree. If that weren’t bad enough, he also stole lottery winnings from a disabled vet.

Item: A Massachusetts man not only defrauded the government, but what he did was dangerous:

He failed to perform medical gas inspections at three VA facilities. These gasses include nitrous oxide, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, compressed air and oxygen to surgery, recovery and patient rooms.

He invoiced for the work, which amounts to wire fraud. Now he’s going to get up to 20 years in prison.

Item: A VA employee working in IT cooked up a scheme to make fraudulent transactions on a government purchase card and have the proceeds sent to his own bank account. He then rigged the system to make it look like the VA had received the goods. For this he could get 10 years in prison.

Are they never going to learn?

Most of these criminals just aren’t that smart. (c) 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.
