(NAPSI)‚ The U.S. Postal Service will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) with the release of a new set of stamps on May 19. The stamps showcase photographs of 20 endangered animals found within the United States and its territories, as well as two North American species living near U.S. borders. These threatened species include the piping plover, the black-footed ferret, the Roanoke logperch, the Florida panther, the Mississippi sandhill crane, the Nashville crayfish, the Wyoming toad, the Lower Keys marsh rabbit, the San Francisco garter snake, the Key Largo cotton mouse and 10 others.

The photographs are among the more than 13,000 images in National Geographic Explorer and photographer Joel Sartore’s ‚ National Geographic Photo Ark, a project to document every species living in the world’s zoos, aquariums, and wildlife sanctuaries with the aim of supporting on-the-

The national effort to save threatened wildlife can be traced to Dec. 27, 1973, when President Richard Nixon signed the Endangered Species Act into law, following a unanimous Senate vote. In the 50 years since, other nations have emulated the pioneering U.S. initiative. The law, also known as the ESA, provides a framework to conserve and protect endangered and threatened species and their habitats both domestically and abroad.

Under the ESA, more than 1,670 U.S. species and 698 foreign species are safeguarded to increase their chances of survival. Scientists estimate that hundreds of species have been rescued from the brink of extinction in the United States since the ESA began. A species found to need protection is listed under the ESA as either threatened or endangered, the latter defined as “ danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range.”

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service implements the ESA. Their website, fws.gov/program/endangered-species, describes the law’s enduring legacy: Throughout its history, ESA has proven to be incredibly effective in stabilizing populations of species at risk, preventing the extinction of many others, and conserving

the habitats upon which they depend. All Americans can take pride in the fact that, under the protection of the ESA, the California condor, grizzly bear, Okaloosa darter, whooping crane, and black-footed ferret have all been brought back from the brink of extinction. We can also celebrate that many other species no longer need ESA protection and have been removed from the list of endangered and threatened species, including the bald eagle ‚ the very symbol of our nation’s strength.

Habitat loss is the chief cause of species vulnerability. Other factors include pollution, climate change, the introduction of invasive species and overhunting. Human activity accounts for about 99 percent of all modern-day extinctions, so humans’ unique capability to alter the environment comes with immense responsibility.

There’s a story behind every stamp. The story behind the Endangered Species stamps is one of hope, persistence and resilience. Let’s celebrate and support the organizations, agencies and people that are working to protect and save these beautiful animals.

In this filefilled, paper-stacked, bustling office and in the hallowed rooms of local courthouses, clients new and old will find Attorney Cook advocating for them until the best possible results are achieved. This is one attorney that you can count on.

Sometimes, it is those big milestone moments that she is tackling, and other times, it is the mundane stuff that make up the “bread and butter” of law practices such

as hers; the kind of day-today stuff that matters a lot to the people she calls clients, and friends.

Perhaps it is a task such as settling a dispute on a will when no beneficiary was established. Perhaps it is a big task like negotiating the terms of a divorce or fighting an eviction. Attorney Cook cares about them all and gives them each their allotted share of attention, time, work, and professional counsel.

Roy & Cook is a general practice law firm that has been helping clients from every walk of life since it first opened its doors in 1991.

Help us shine the light on achievement

By Tony Rizzo

HOLLYWOOD — Pedro Pascal, who’s been called “an overnight sensation” (it only took 27 years) has two streaming series (“The Mandalorian” and “The Last of Us”) and two upcoming films. “Drive-Away Dolls” is due in September, and “Strange Way of Life,” with Ethan Hawke, will premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. In addition, Pascal has hit the stratosphere as the lead in the sequel to director Ridley Scott’s 2000 megahit, “Gladiator” (which grossed $460 million and received 12 Oscar nominations, winning five).

However, I’m not sure that Pascal made the right choice wearing Valentino’s long, red jacket with a black tie and black shorts at the Met Gala. Google it.

Even before the writer’s strike, NBC was making cuts to “Law & Order.” The upcoming shows will mostly feature their major leads, and their supporting players will no longer be in every episode.

Over at CBS, 84% of the cast of “Bob Hearts Abishola” are faced with their solution to remove 11 of the 13 leads in the main cast, leaving only Billy Gardell and Folake Olowofoyeku, the two title stars. Among those cut are Christine Ebersole

Matt Jones and Maribeth Monroe

They’ll now be recurring in five of the 13 episodes in season five of the series. The good news for them, they were told, is that they’ve been released from their exclusivity clauses and can now pursue other work. Is that really good news now that the industry has been shut down by the writer’s strike?

Billy Gardell, at 53, has lost 160 pounds over three years, by way of gastric bypass surgery. He went from 370 pounds to 210 pounds. The good news is that it ended his diabetes scare.

In October 2022, she officially resigned from Actors’ Equity (the Broadway stage union), admitting, “When the run of ‘Company’ ended this past July, I knew I wouldn’t be on stage for a very long time.” She mentioned telling a producer who offered her a role that she didn’t want to do the show on Broadway, opting instead for East Fourth Street.

PHOTO CAPTION: This unconventional table was made in the 1980s by an unconventional artist, Jeff Lederman. It sold for $4,750 at Main Auction Galleries in Cincinnati.

Lederman Art

In the 1980s, a friend’s mother decided to redecorate with unfamiliar modern-style furniture. She bought a small wooden table that was painted red and designed by Jeff Lederman, an Ohio artist. The table had won a prize for design in an Illinois state contest. Lederman was a busy artist who changed interests and occupations many times. He designed logos for companies in the 1970s and furniture in the 1980s. For a while, he put his art aside for a new career saving wildlife. He painted pictures again from 2014 to 2018 and started making digital art in 2020.

Q:Iam a realtor and am fortunate enough to go into older homes with many architectural elements still intact. I’ve become fascinated by the elaborate antique doorknobs I see. I bought one for $25 in an architectural salvage store last week. It appears to be brass. Do you think I got a good deal?

A:Doorknob collecting can be a lot of fun. In the early 19th century, people still opened doors with their thumbs. Their doors were fitted with wrought-iron thumb latches. Some of the earliest brass doorknobs in the U.S. started appearing around that same time. They were fixed to surface-mounted locks. Brass, bronze, pottery and glass hardware were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In the 1950s to 1970s, urban renewal programs caused many aging Victorian houses to be destroyed, with the loss of artistic hardware. The destruction spurred the creation of the Antique Doorknob Collectors of America. Detailed information can be found at their website, www.AntiqueDoorKnobs.org. Knobs can be found in secondhand shops, at demolished building sites, flea markets, malls, online shops and auctions. It looks like what you paid is a fair price. * * *

• Use a mesh bag to hold flowers in place in a vase. Just roll or wad it up and put it down in the bottom of the vase. When you are done with the flowers, you can use a stick to swish the bag around and loosen any gunk inside the vase when cleaning. Launder the mesh or just toss.

• When freezing leftovers, especially soup or stew, consider using zipper-closing bags. They can be filled and frozen flat, then stacked nicely. They take up much less room than standard containers.

• “To make a waterproof mattress protector in a pinch, slit a large garbage bag down the side and bottom, lay it flat over the mattress and cover with a beach towel. Then put the sheet over that. The garbage bag protects the mattress; the towel makes it comfortable. “ — U.D. in Tennessee

• “Keep extra liner bags in the bottom of the garbage can. They are handy, so you will be more likely to reline the can as soon as you take the garbage out.” — K.P. in Massachusetts

• Keep a box of baking soda in the fridge. When it’s time to replace it, dump it down the drain and follow with a small bottle of vinegar and a hot water flush. Keep your kitchen smelling nice and use less chemicals to do it.

Grill and Chill: Memorial Day BBQ With a Mediterranean Twist

As we approach Memorial Day weekend, it’s time to honor and remember those who have served our country and made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. While we enjoy time with friends and family, take a moment to reflect on the meaning of this important day.

This weekend also marks the unofficial start of summer and the beginning of backyard BBQ season. Get ready to add some pizzazz to your celebration with a scrumptious Mediterranean Chicken and Veggie Kabobs recipe, paired with a cool and creamy dipping sauce and warm pita bread.

These kabobs are fresh, healthy and won’t break the bank. They’re loaded with juicy chicken thighs, red bell peppers, zucchini, summer squash and red onion, all marinated in Italian dressing for incredible flavor. And let’s not forget about the Easy Tzatziki Sauce with Feta — it’s the perfect complement to these tasty kabobs. Simply grate some cucumber, mix with Greek yogurt, garlic and feta, and you’re ready to go.

So, fire up the grill, thread those skewers and get ready for a meal that’s sure to impress!

EASY TZATZIKI SAUCE WITH FETA

Yield: 4 (1/3 cup) servings

Rewriting the Rules of Retirement

Retirement comes with more time for the things you love. A reverse mortgage can help you fund them.

o your existing mortgage to

payments

Time: 5 minutes

1 (approximately 10 ounce) cucumber

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Black pepper

Lemon wedges for serving, optional

Using a box grater, grate the cucumber on the largest grating side then squeeze it to remove most (but not all) of the liquid. Place the cucumber in a medium bowl and add the yogurt, garlic and feta. Stir to combine and set aside so the flavors can marry. This can be made in advance and refrigerated, if desired. Before serving, add black pepper to taste and squeeze a lemon wedge over the bowl and stir once more.

1 medium red onion, cut into 1 1/2inch pieces

1 cup bottled Italian dressing

Pita bread for serving

If you’re using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to use.

Artistically thread the chicken and vegetables onto the skewers. Place the kabobs into a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish and pour the Italian dressing on top. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate, refrigerated, for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.

When you’re ready to cook, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Make your tzatziki sauce if you haven’t already. Place the chicken kabobs on the grill and close the lid. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through. Let the kabobs rest for 5 minutes before serving. While you wait, warm the pita bread on the grill.

Serve the kabobs with pita bread and tzatziki sauce for dipping or schmearing on the pitas.

A good wine pairing for these kabobs would be a light-bodied red wine (like pinot noir, grenache or Beaujolais) or a crisp white wine with bright acidity (like sauvignon blanc, a pinot grigio or a chenin blanc). Any of these wines would make for a delicious and complementary pairing.

Mediterranean Chicken and Veggie Kabobs

Yield: 4 kabobs

Total Time: 1 hour

4 long metal skewers or bamboo skewers

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces

2 large red bell peppers, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces

1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/2inch rounds

1 medium summer squash, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

So, fire up the grill, savor the flavors and cherish the memories with loved ones. Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend. ***

Not many know the U.S Army’s birthday is coming up on June 14th, so I thought I give a brief history about how our army came to be…

The United States Army was officially formed by a resolution of the Continental Congress on June 14, 1775. They authorized ten companies of rifleman to be raised specifically by the Continental Congress as opposed to state troops. They also accepted the army of New Englanders who had been surrounding the British in Boston since the evening of April 19. The number of troops who marched to besiege Boston varies, however, a document at the Massachusetts State Archives dated April 23 lists 21,196 troops around Boston and in coastal communities. Obviously, the number of soldiers that were accepted into Continental service would vary as soldiers went home, new soldiers arrived, and enlistments ran out by the end of 1775. It seems in June, the number thought to be brought into Continental service was around 15,000 at the time. All of this was happening not even two months after the war had broken out and a huge move on the part of the Continental Congress.

Things were moving ahead rapidly, and on June 15, Virginian George Washington was unanimously chosen by Congress as General and Commander in Chief of the newly formed army and began his journey to Boston to take command on the 20th. A committee had also been appointed to write the rules and regulations for the

new army, quite possibly based upon the rules already written by the Massachusetts Provincial Congress on April 5 that had just been issued to Massachusetts officers in early May.

Picking officers to command the Continental Army also commenced, taking account of regional men with former military ser-

vice, and trying to appease each state, a very fragile process with many men with large egos. That said, the alliance of continental officers was soon assembled with very little internal strife at the beginning, although there would be alterations as the Siege of Boston went on.

How did all of this happen so quickly and fairly efficiently? Preparing for war was not a new concept in the British Provincial colonies before the Revolution. Formations of Provincial forces had been raised and supplied numerous times during the 18th century, and many of those forming the new Continental Army or government had been a part of this process before. A look back at records in the Massachusetts State Archives through the 1740s to the 1760s show how the state could raise and equip men for service. Provisioning and supplying troops had been done many times before with help from England. While the state governments had done this in the past, it would be tougher this time to get many of the materials that were needed, and new foreign alliances would have to be forged if it was going to last.

Although raising armies had been done before, this time it looked to be moving towards something that hadn’t been done previously: a self-governed country independent from England, which finally happened eight long years later. No wonder we still celebrate to this day - Happy birthday United States Army!
