hh…the return of Modernism. Actually, it never went away. Those who bask year-round in the scrumptious décor and design of all things midcentury modern, a prevalent part of the lifestyle in the Coachella Valley, eagerly await this celebration. The Modernism Fall Preview features a magnificently curated experience of tours, lectures, fashion, architecture and, yes…parties, parties, parties. There will be more than 50 events over four days, as a prelude to the annual 11-day festival, set for February 13-23, 2020. Events start off with a festive opening night party and early buying preview reception for the sixth annual Modernism Show & Sale, at the Palm Springs Convention Center on Friday evening, October 18, from 6 to 8 p.m., with a cocktail reception, live music and an exclusive sneak peek (and first to shop) at the Show & Sale before it opens to the general public. Produced by Dolphin Promotions, this exhibition will showcase important 20th and 21st century objects, furniture, art and design and will be open to the public throughout the four days. Highlights of the Fall Preview include walking tours, Premier

Double Decker Architectural Bus tours and Charles Phoenix-led bus tours and home tours across a range of neighborhoods. New this year will be the three-part Celebrate William Cody, Desert Bel-Air Estates and Indian Wells Historic Landmark. A Midcentury Mixology demonstration will be presented at Mr. Lyon’s Steakhouse in Palm Springs to learn how to make (and drink!) midcentury era classic cocktails. A Midcentury Brunch will be offered at the acclaimed Essense restaurant at the newly redesigned Two Bunch Palms Resort & Spa in Desert Hot Springs. Other popular returning tours include the Sunnylands Historic House Tour, Frey House II tour and Frank Sinatra’s Twin Palms Estate tour. Also worth waiting for will be a ceremony honoring midcentury modern architect Hugh Kaptur as well as the Palm Springs Casual Concours classic car show. Whether your preference is interiors, gardens or grounds, this Modernism Preview is the ultimate in how to make learning a true adventure. If only school had been this much fun. Modernism Week Fall Preview is held October 17-20. Admission fees vary. Please visit modernismwee. com for more information.

You Need a Second Pneumonia Vaccine --Have you had your second pneumonia shot? Some of us either don’t know the vaccine comes in two parts, or we forget to ask for it a year later when we need the second dose. The two vaccines are called PCV13 (pneumococcal conjugate vaccine) and PPSV23 (pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The numbers refer to how many strains of bacteria each one covers. We generally call it pneumonia, but its official name is pneumococcal disease, and it can be serious. On the mild end of the spectrum, it might cause only a sore throat or sinus infection. On the other hand, besides pneumonia, the disease can cause infections of the blood, brain

Does My Dog Have Arthritis? --DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My black Lab, “Gordon,” is almost 12 years old. He has always been energetic, but lately on our walks he seems to get tired easily, slows down his walk, and whines from time to time. His hind legs seem to be stiff and he has a harder time laying down in his pet bed. Do you think he has arthritis? Will it affect his life? -Jeff in Silver Spring, Maryland DEAR JEFF: He does seem to be showing symptoms of arthritis. Jot down everything you see Gordon doing that seems different or “off,” and take those notes and your dog to the veterinarian.

and spinal cord. The pneumonia vaccine is one you might want to get at your doctor’s office, even if it’s handier to go to the local pharmacy. The reason is that there are certain warnings about whether you should or shouldn’t have one or the other of the two shots. Your doctor will be able to check your medical records to be sure the vaccine is right for you. Pneumonia is transmitted by direct contact through mucous or saliva, and others can pass it to you without even knowing they have it. Be sure to wash your hands frequently! Medicare Part B will cover the cost of these vaccines if you get them a year apart. (c) 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.

The vet can evaluate Gordon for arthritis -- an inflammation of the joints seen frequently in older pets -- and rule out any other underlying conditions. If Gordon has arthritis, there are lots of medicines and therapies available to alleviate his pain -- many of which are the same treatments used for humans, albeit in smaller doses. There’s no cure for the condition, but he still has years of life ahead and will be close to his old self with treatment. In addition to medication, arthritis symptoms can be eased by using heating pads or cold packs. Regular exercise keeps blood flowing to the joints and eases discomfort. And it can keep Gordon’s weight down, which will ease the stress on his joints. Many owners have had good results by changing their pet’s diet. Dog foods formulated for senior pets can keep his nutrition on point. Allergen-free dog foods may yield good results, too. Try working with his vet to tweak Gordon’s diet a bit and see if there’s any improvement. (c) 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.

Dear Dr. Roach My daughter smokes. She doesn’t have COPD now, but last spring she had bronchitis and was off work for a week. When she went back to work, she didn’t feel good, and her doctor told her that she had pneumonia in both lungs and wondered why she went back to work. She still takes cough syrup under her doctor’s orders. -- N.P.

give your daughter might help. The first piece of advice is that a cough necessitating cough syrup on a routine basis indeed might be a sign of COPD. There are two major forms of COPD: emphysema and chronic bronchitis. The definition of “chronic bronchitis” is a productive cough for three months in each of two successive years. The second piece of advice is that quitting before there are serious symptoms is the best time to quit. Although the body has some ability to recover from the effects of chronic cigarette smoke, there is a degree of permanent damage in longterm smokers. Quitting greatly slows down the rate of ongoing damage to the lungs and reduces the risk of having lifelong symptoms of shortness of breath and cough. Quitting smoking will do more good than any cough syrup can.

7 when you think you know where the story is going, you don’t.

Q: I usually don’t watch “American Horror Story.” It’s way too dark and gory for me, but I have to admit I’m intrigued by the ad campaign for the new season. It looks like the horror movies I watched in the ‘80s, like “Friday the 13th” and “Halloween.” -– C.P. A: The ninth season of “American Horror Story” just premiered on the FX channel and is titled “AHS: 1984.” It is indeed set in the ‘80s and takes place at a summer camp. The trailer showed a masked, knifewielding slasher hitching a ride on the undercarriage of a truck carrying teens on their way to camp. I’m pretty sure you can figure out what happens next. This installment features “AHS” regulars Emma Roberts, Leslie Grossman, and Billie Lourd, but the most surprising bit of casting is Olympic silver medalist-turned-actor Gus Kenworthy. This is his sixth acting role since competing in the Winter Games in 2018. Q: Is it true they’re making another “Dark Shadows” movie? Will Johnny Depp be in it again? -- G.M. A: “Dark Shadows” was a daytime TV soap opera with a gothic theme that aired 50 years ago and starred Jonathan Frid as a vampire named Barnabas Collins. A primetime version aired in 1991 starring Ben Cross in the same role, and then a motion picture version starring Depp was in theaters in 2012. While there are no plans for a sequel to the film, the CW network recently announced that a TV series is in the works titled “Dark Shadows: Reincarnation.” Mark B. Perry (“Revenge”) is writing the pilot. According to Deadline.com, Perry used to race home from school each day to watch the

original “Dark Shadows.” He’s also a huge “Star Trek” fan and plans to treat “Dark Shadows: Reincarnation” with “the samereverence given to ‘Star Trek,’ while making the show accessible for audiences who aren’t familiar with the macabre world of the Collinses.” Q: I heard that Chris March from “Project Runway” died. I lost interest in the show after a few seasons, but he was one of my favorite designers to compete. Did he achieve any success as a designer after the reality series ended? -- J.F. A: You might not have heard, but Chris March suffered a terrible fall in 2017 and wasn’t discovered for several days. He had sustained a head injury, was put into a medically induced coma and awoke to find he was paralyzed in several limbs. His death this year at the age of 56 was the result of a heart attack. Before such a tragic ending, March found success as a designer. While he didn’t win his season of “Project Runway,” he went on to design for several big stars like Beyonce and Chrissy Teigen. He even designed the gown that Meryl Streep wore to the Oscars in 2010. He will be greatly missed. *** Send me your questions at NewCelebrityExtra@gmail.com, or c/o KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. (c) 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.

On Oct. 13, 1775, the Continental Congress authorizes construction and administration of the first American naval force, the precursor to the United States Navy, which was established April 1798. On Oct. 12, 1786, widower Thomas Jefferson composes a romantic and introspective love letter to a married woman named Maria Cosway, who he’d met in Paris earlier that year. Eventually Jefferson’s ardor cooled, and in 1789 he wrote more about his scientific studies than of his love and desire for her. The now-famous letter is known to historians as “A Dialogue between the Head and Heart.” On Oct. 7, 1943, Rear Adm. Shigematsu Sakaibara, commander of the Japanese gar-

During the late 18th century, the very rich made a long trip to Europe to admire the architecture and art of Europe, including the ruins of past civilizations. The town of Pompeii was a major attraction. It had been covered with ash and lava in 78 A.D. and forgotten until 1748, when it blocked some construction. Historians have been studying the remains, and the art and culture, since then. The city was a summer home for wealthy Romans, and the eruption covered and saved the furnishings under the rock. Information about furniture and paintings inspired copies in the 18th century. A brazier that was used to heat a Roman bath in the city and a similar one in a brothel were copied and sold in the late 1800s. The popular bronze brazier had a pieced rim and a three-part foot with men with paw feet holding the fire pit on their heads. These copies were made with a green patina. One

Reducing the Rate of Military Suicides --In a joint venture to reduce suicides, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense and the Vet Centers have hooked up to provide counseling and outreach to the National Guard on drill weekends and during training. In 2017, the National Guard had the highest rate of suicide of all the military. Now, however, the rate of National Guard members using the Vet Centers has risen 38%, and the suicide rate has fallen to its the lowest level in five years. It’s thought that the increased use of the Vet Center services could be the reason. Meanwhile, the Defense Suicide Prevention Office’s most recent report saw 2018 deaths-by-sui-

Hitori Answer cide numbers that were mostly higher than the year before: Air Force 60, Army 139, Marine Corps 58, Navy 68, Reserves 216 and National Guard 135. As the VA continues to try to understand the reasons for veteran suicides, it’s looking at limited access to health care and isolation. Up until 2016, Vermont had the nation’s highest rate of veteran suicide. By this year, it was reported in Congress that Montana had the highest rate. First thoughts point to rural living and cold weather, yet in California, sunny and warm San Diego has the highest rate for that state. If you think you might be in trouble, or if you know a veteran who is, call the Veterans Crisis Hotline 24/7 at 1-800-273-8255 or go online to www. veteranscrisisline.net. You also can send a text to 838255. Besides the 24/7 hotline, National Guard and Reservists are eligible to use the services of the Vet Centers (there are 300) and Mobile Vet Centers (there are 80). To find out more about what the Vet Centers do, or to find one in your area, go online to www.vetcenter.va.gov. (c) 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.
