• On April 20, 1841, Edgar Allan Poe’s story, “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” first appears in print. The tale, generally considered to be the first detective story, describes the methods used to solve a series of murders. • On April 22, 1889, at precisely high noon, 50,000 to 60,000 would-be settlers make a mad dash into the newly opened Oklahoma Territory to claim cheap land. Towns like Norman and Oklahoma City sprang up almost overnight. • On April 18, 1906, in San Francisco, an earthquake registering 8.0 kills 3,000 people as 30,000 buildings are destroyed. Two days later, 20,000 refugees trapped by a massive fire were evacuated from the foot of Van Ness Avenue onto the USS Chicago. • On April 21, 1930, a fire at an Ohio prison kills 320 inmates, some of whom burn to death when they are not unlocked from their cells. The prison, built to hold 1,500 people, had 4,300 prisoners. • On April 23, 1945, two weeks after taking over as U.S. president, Harry Truman gives a tongue-lashing to Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov. Truman was determined to take a tougher postwar stance with the Soviets than his late predecessor, Franklin Roosevelt, had. Molotov, indignant, stormed out of the meeting with Truman. • On April 24, 1953, Winston Churchill, the British leader who guided Great Britain and the Allies through the crisis of World War II, is knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. He would win the Nobel Prize in literature later that same year. • On April 19, 1993, near Waco, Texas, after a 51-day siege, the FBI launches a tear-gas assault on the compound of Branch Davidian leader David Koresh and his disciples as part of an investigation into illegal possession of firearms and explosives. The compound at Mount Carmel was burned to the ground, and some 80 Branch Davidians, including 22 children, died in the inferno. © 2022 Hearst Communications, Inc. All Rights Reserved

blown egg that is still white or dyed in a light color. Carefully set the egg in the plastic bag and close it lightly in your fist, keeping locked air inside. Gently shake the bag of sand to coat the glue on the egg to reveal the design you made. Remove the egg with your fingers and slip it onto one of the wooden skewers through the hole in the shell, making sure the skewer doesn't go through the hole at the opposite end.
DEMO AT 1PM! Create an "Egg Plant" With Easter Eggs Shake and decorate hollowed-out Easter eggs, then save them as keepsakes to display from year to year as a whimsical "egg plant" centerpiece. The lovely eggs, together with other favorites, can be "blooming" out of a pretty Easter basket, a medium-size flowerpot or several mini containers lined down the center of your table or along a windowsill.

Here are three easy steps for an afternoon of fun: 1. BLOWING EGGS To empty an egg, poke a small hole with a straight pin at each end of a washed raw egg. Carefully wiggle a toothpick or wooden skewer into one of the holes to break the yolk. Place a drinking straw over the hole on top, and blow through the straw, collecting the contents of the egg in a small dish. Rinse out the empty shell and let dry. Store in an empty egg carton until ready to use. 2. SHAKE AND DECORATE First, poke wooden skewers into a chunk of floral foam. Set aside. Scoop several tablespoons of brightly colored sand (available at toy and craft stores) into a clear plastic sandwich bag. Squeeze household glue from a plastic bottle in a simple design, such as zigzags or an alphabet letter, onto a
3. DISPLAY Set the floral foam with skewers and decorated eggs in a flowerpot or Easter basket. Rearrange the skewers to balance the arrangement of budding egg "flowers." Add other decorated eggs you might have saved from previous years. Cover the foam with green moss or colorful Easter paper grass.
Hollowed-out eggs "bloom" in Easter centerpiece. TIP: This year I lined a medium-size Easter basket with plastic, scooped potting soil inside and sprinkled wheat grass seeds on top. I kept it damp until the seeds sprouted. The green grass grew tall with sunshine and watering in just 10 days. *** Find more family fun at www.donnaerickson.com.

Investing in volatile times—Like the lyrics in the song by The Clash…should I stay or should I go? Many people are pondering their course of action given the recent turmoil in geopolitical affairs where Russia has invaded Ukraine and the volatility of the stock market. Which makes the most sense to you? Getting out of the stock market because there has been volatility, or staying the course and letting the market settle down before making emotional decisions that could be detrimental to your financial health? Well, let’s take a walk down the memory lane of stock market gyrations. If we go back to 2000, the first of a 3-year decline in the stock market, that lost approximately 10% of value. Followed by 2001 with Jeffrey H. Massey a 13% loss, followed by 2003 with a 23% loss. Those were three tough Certified Financial Planner™ years to live through, especially if you were withdrawing cash to Massey and Associates, Inc. pay your bills in retirement. Which, we don’t recommend. (https:// ycharts.com/indicators/sp_500_annual, n.d.) That 3-year loss of value was disconcerting, to say the least. However, if you bailed out of the market at the end of that third year, you would have missed the massive recovery that unfolded over the next four years. Sadly, there was yet another period of large declines in the market that started in the fourth quarter of 2007 and ended in the “trough” as it is called (the bottom of a market decline before the market starts recovering) on March 6 of 2009. The S&P 500, at its low point, was 666.80, which again was a rough ride. The market finally recovered in 2013 from its high point in 2007. At the end of 2021, the S&P 500 was listed as 4,766.18 from the low of 666.80. That is an increase of over 700% in 12 years! So, no surprise that the market is slowing down a bit. (https://ycharts.com/indicators/sp_500_annual, n.d.)(See the chart below) What this history lesson teaches us is that it is far more important to have time IN the market, not TIMING the market. The typical advice is to stay the course and let the market forces trim some of this hyper-growth to position for future growth. We call this type of market gyration the “adult” roller coaster, and we prefer to reduce the level of risk within our clients’ portfolios. We prefer to put them on the “kiddie” roller coaster of risk. Our bias is to help reduce risk. Let’s look at a simple example, not saying this is right for everyone, it just makes the math easy here. If you were to put one half of your portfolio in the
stock market and the other half in a protected position, that cannot lose value when the market goes down, here is an example of what would happen. Let’s say the stock market is down 10%, but your portfolio is down 8%. Well, if one half of your money is down 8% and the other half isn’t down at all, then you are down 4% on your entire portfolio. Is a 4% downturn in value too much for you? If it is, simply put more money into protected positions. Ultimately, the amount that you want protected is up to you, after all, it is your money! In our opinion, this type of strategy allows for half the money to be in the market for long-term growth while protecting the other half against market losses. We refer to this strategy as the “kiddie” roller coaster as we have a bias against too much stock market risk. https://ycharts.com/indicators/sp_500_annual

extra protein, bringing a nice meaty texture while reducing the amount of fat per serving. If you add 1 1/2 cups cooked lentils to the recipe below, you'll have six (six-ounce) patties rather than four. I see tomorrow's lunch happening.
Does your banker know your name?
Have they been to your office? Do they know the issues your business is facing? If you work with Navigant Credit Union, the answer to those questions is probably “yes”. Because that’s what business banking is like with someone whose customers are their owners.
PATTY MELTS Yield: 4 (6-ounce patty) servings 1½ pounds (85/15) hamburger Diner Classic Made 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for cooking Easily at Home 1/2 teaspoon pepper Here's a classic comfort food that 1 tablespoon Worcestershire makes everyone happy. It's a staple on sauce diner menus across the country: the 1 tablespoon butter, plus more Patty Melt. Picture a burger patty slathsoftened butter for schmearing ered with caramelized onions, oozing 8 slices Swiss cheese with melted Swiss cheese on buttered, 8 slices rye, marble rye or grilled rye bread. Delectable, right? sourdough bread Well, we can make it at home, and it 1 cup caramelized onions (recipe below) 1. In a mixing bowl, combine the hamburger, salt, pepper and Worcestershire. (If you're adding lentils, now's the time.) 2. Divide the mixture into 4 (or 6) portions and form them into patties that are a little bigger than your bread. Sprinkle each side with a little kosher salt to help make a nice crusty www.JasonCoblentz.com sear on the patties. 3. In a large skillet on mediPatty melt with caramelized onions. um-high heat, add a pat of butter and cook the burger patties doesn't cost any more to make than a for 3-4 minutes per side. plain ol' hamburger. Come to Mama! 4. To assemble the sandwiches, Should you choose, this recipe lends schmear the "outsides" of the bread itself to stretching a buck by adding with butter, place in the skillet butter a little filler to the ground beef. A side down. Add a slice of cheese, general rule of adding filler is one cup a burger patty, some of the onions, filler per pound of uncooked ham- another slice of cheese and top with burger. Typical fillers include bread- another slice of bread that's been crumbs, oatmeal, cooked vegetables, buttered on the "outside." When beans or lentils. the bottom slice of bread is golden For this recipe, if you choose to add brown and delicious, carefully flip the filler, I recommend choosing cooked whole thing over and grill the other lentils. They add vitamins, fiber and side. Mmmmmmm. Repeat with the
remaining sandwiches. 5. Keep the diner vibe going by serving this with French fries and coleslaw or a dill pickle.
CARAMELIZED ONIONS Yield: 1 cup Time: 30-45 minutes 1 large yellow onion, about a pound 2 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon olive oil Pinch of sugar Salt and pepper 1. Slice that big ol' onion in half, then into half rings. Make these as thick or thin as you wish. The thinner they are, the faster they cook, but thicker slices come out sweeter. 2. In a heavy-bottomed skillet on medium heat, melt the butter and oil together. Add the onion and turn to coat; sprinkle with a pinch of sugar to help speed up caramelization. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 25-45 minutes or until delectably soft and golden brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Now, if I'm going to take the time to caramelize onions, I make at least a triple batch. They're great on EVERYTHING from burgers, sandwiches, steak, chicken and pork to salads, soups, pizza, casseroles and omelets — you name it! Keep some in the fridge or freezer to instantly upgrade practically everything you eat. The next time you buy ground beef, get out of the hamburger rut! Back away from the burger! Make this instead. *** Lifestyle expert Patti Diamond is the penny-pinching, party-planning, recipe developer and content creator of the website "Divas On A Dime — Where Frugal, Meets Fabulous!"

• A garden manicure is what my mother calls it: When working with plants and dirt, rake your nails across a bar of soap. The soap prevents dirt particles from lodging under nails, and the soap washes away easily when you are finished. Happy Gardening! — JoAnn • “If you have a spade with a long handle, you can transfer common measurements to the handle. Just lay a tape measure alongside the handle, and use a black marker to note common spacing, like feet and inches. Then, when you put in plants, you can check quickly whether they are spaced correctly. Very handy!” — P.E. in Arkansas • “Garden tool storage doesn’t have to be hard. Fill a wide mouth bucket with clean sand. Add a half quart or motor oil and stir. Then use the sand to clean and store your garden tools like shovels, rakes or hoes. The sand/oil mixture helps clean the metal surfaces, and the heaviness of the container lets you stick them in the sand without fear of everything falling down, like it would if you leaned them along a wall.” — E. in North Carolina • Here’s a recipe for a quickie bird feeder or bath: Flip over a nice-size flower pot, and place the pot’s tray on the top. Fill with seed or water. The birds will thank you — maybe even by eating some nuisance bugs along with the seed. • If the string on your trimmer is always breaking or jamming, try this old trick: Give the coiled string a spray with vegetable oil before you thread it. It lubricates the line, making it less likely to pull and less likely to break. Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. © 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

Splatter Ware It is not easy to identify antique and vintage ceramics, because many were made by small local potteries and not marked. Workmen often moved to another factory but continued to make the same type of wares and decoration. Spatter ware is a pottery decorated with paint that is actually spattered on the plate by flicking a stick dipped in the paint. Very similar decorations were made by dabbing paint on with a sponge. Many collectors think spatter and sponge are the same, so you must check any written descriptions. Both are popular vintage collectibles. Both types of folk pottery were made in the early 1800s in Scotland, Italy, Holland, France and the United States. Similar dinnerware and other household dishes are still being made but with the help of machines, not often by hand. Tulips are often pictured either as part of a border or as a single flower in the center. Price is determined by the condition and the skill of the decorator. Conestoga Auction Co. sold a collection of this type of pottery, with many early examples selling for hundreds of dollars. A plate with a border of green and blue spatter stripes and a center with two stylized tulips did not have a maker’s mark and sold for $224. *** After my mother died, we found a Pairpoint lamp in a box in the attic. It looks original except for the cord. There are two stamps under the shade dated July 9, 1901. It has puffy butterflies. The base has a diamond-shaped stamp underneath. Can you tell me what this might be worth? Thomas J. Pairpoint founded the Pairpoint Manufacturing Company in New Bedford, Massachusetts, in 1880. The company joined with nearby glassworks and made glass, lamps and silver-plated pieces. Reverse-painted glass shades and molded shades known as “puffies” were made until the 1930s. The company became the Pairpoint Glass Company in 1957. It moved to Sagamore, Massachusetts, in 1970 and now

makes luxury glass items. Look closely at the patent date on your lamp. Are you sure it’s not 1907?

Homeowners know that all sorts of issues can affect a home. Issues can run the gamut from the merely annoying to the unsafe. Electrical issues fall into the latter category, posing a significant safety hazard if left unchecked. According to the home safety experts at UL (formerly known as Underwriters Laboratories), learning to recognize warning signs of electrical wiring issues can greatly lower the risk of house fires. House fires pose a significant threat, as the Electrical Safety Foundation International notes that electrical malfunctions cause more than 50,000 house fires each year. UL indicates that the majority of those house fires can be prevented, and learning to recognize signs of a electrical problems in a home is a key component of home fire prevention. • Dimming or flickering lights: The UL notes that light fixtures do not typically draw a substantial amount of power, so dimming or flickering lights is not often indicative of an issue with a fixture. Dimming or flickering lights could indicate that the circuit the lights are on is overburdened, most likely by large appliances sharing the circuit with the lights. If dimming and flickering lights are a problem, homeowners can speak to an electrician about moving the fixtures to another circuit or installing a new line specifically for major appliances. • Odors: Odor emanating from an outlet, fuse box or breaker panel should be reported to an electrician immediately. The odor, which some homeowners indicate smells like fish, could be a result of an overheated circuit. Odor coming from an outlet, fuse box or breaker panel could indicate a significant electrical issue, so homeowners should not hesitate to report this problem to
an electrician. Odors can sometimes travel through HVAC systems as well, so homeowners should take note and call an electrician even if their outlets do not smell. • Hot outlets/switch plates: Outlets and/or switch plates that are hot to the touch are another indicator of an electrical issue. UL notes that outlets that become hot even when nothing is plugged into them could be wired incorrectly. In such instances, an electrician will need to fix the issue, and in the meantime it may be best for homeowners to flip the breaker or remove the fuse for the outlet. • Frequently blown fuses or tripped breakers: According to UL, circuit breakers and fuses have a built-in failsafe that is designed to prevent overloading. Sometimes a tripped breaker is a result of an aging appliance. One way to detect that is to plug in the product to more than one outlet in the house. If each breaker trips, then the appliance is likely to blame. However, if using the same outlet continues to trip the breaker regardless of what’s plugged into it, then the circuit requires the attention of an electrician. Electrical issues increase the risk for home fires. Fortunately, such issues are generally preventable and often easily remedied by a qualified electrician.

BUSINESSSpotlight CHRIS’ CANINE CLUB
Pet boarding, day care and home care for your four-legged friends
By Jennifer Coates You can learn a lot about a person by the way he treats animals. Gentle and persuasive yet still firm and authoritative. These pets love, respect and obey their owners while following them around like groupies following a rock star. To them, their “person” IS a rock star! If dogs could talk, this is how two regal German Shepherds named Ruby and Ralph would refer to their owner, Chris LaColle. Chris is their rock star, their protector, their “human”. Ruby is a two-year old shepherd and Ralph is LaColle’s recently-acquired six-month old shepherd. These two best friends have learned to share their owner with the many similarly adoring dogs who LaColle cares for and boards in his home. A cozy home. A welcoming home. A pet-loving home. Chris LaColle has been an animal lover his entire life. He has been taking care of dogs, cats, chickens ~even a bearded dragon ~ since he was just a teenager. Eight years ago, Chris formalized his busy pet care business by creating Chris’ Canine Club, a home-based pet boarding service located in a peaceful residential neighborhood in Coventry. Today, he boards dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and disabilities. Ralph and Ruby may be Chris’s “first loves” but he gives every dog under his care the same VIP treatment. Ample outdoor play time in a fenced-in backyard. Unlimited access to comfy furniture. A shady retreat under a covered pavilion. Plenty of personal attention with belly rubs on command! If you are off on a vacation, you can be sure that Chris is giving your dogs the vacation they deserve. You can be confident that Chris is taking care of your pet as if it is his own, knowing that your dog is truly family. They are safe, happy, and secure under Chris’s watch. Your dog’s experience at Chris’ Canine Club always begins

Chris wants to be sure that your dog will be compatible with the other dogs in his care. He will want to assess your pets’ every need, from their eating habits to any medications they may require. Are they fully vaccinated? What is their previous boarding experience? What are their personalities, food preferences and sleep habits? Chris wants to know everything possible about your dog to make sure your pet is completely comfortable in his home. Pet boarding is not the only service Chris offers. Chris will
housesit, drop-in to your home for walks and to care for any of your other pets (including that bearded dragon!) Doggy daycare is also available, as is holiday care.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The Lamb loves to be surrounded by flocks of admirers. But be careful that someone doesn’t take his or her admiration too far. Use your persuasive skills to let him or her down easily. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a good time to begin setting far-reaching goals and connecting with new contacts. Aspects also favor strengthening old relationships — personal and/or professional. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A personal disappointment should be viewed as a valuable learning experience. Go over what went wrong and see where a change in tactics might have led to a more positive outcome. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t leave projects unfinished or personal obligations unresolved, or you might find yourself tripping over all those loose ends later on. A relative has important news. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Expect a challenge to the usual way you do things. Although you might prefer the tried-and-true, once you take a good look at this new idea, you might feel more receptive to it. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Much work has yet to be done to polish a still-rough idea into something with significant potential. Expect to encounter some initial rejection, but stick with it nonetheless.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) There still might be some communication problems in the workplace, but they should be resolved soon. Meanwhile, that “tip” from a friend should be checked out. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A new relationship appears to need more from you than you might be willing to give right now. Best advice: Resist making promises you might not be able to keep. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) That restless feeling encourages you to gallop off into a new venture. But remember to keep hold of the reins so you can switch paths when necessary. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A demanding work schedule keeps the high-spirited Goat from kicking up his or her heels. But playtime beckons by the week’s end. Have fun. You earned it. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You’re beginning to come out from under those heavy responsibilities you took on. Use this freed-up time to enjoy some much-deserved fun with people close to you. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Before you get swept away by a tidal wave of conflicting priorities, take time to come up for air, and reassess the situation. You might be surprised by what you’ll find. BORN THIS WEEK: Your leadership qualities are enhanced by a practical sense of purpose that keeps you focused on your goals. © 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.
