NOVEMBER BABIESby Kathy Wolfe

Here’s a little research from Tidbits on all these folks, past and present, who claim November as their birth month. • Probably best known for her role as Dr. Izzie Stevens

on the ABC medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy,” ac-tress Katherine Heigl got her start as a child model posing for the Sears catalog. She moved on from this $75-per-hour job to her first commercial, a TV spot for Cheerios. Although she has recently starred in several movie blockbusters, she also has the honor of having starred in the lowest-earning movie in record-ed history, 2006’s “Zyzzyx Road,” which grossed $30 at the box office.

• The parents of Condoleezza Rice took her name from an Italian music-related term con dolcezza, which translates “with sweetness.” The life of this 66th U.S. Secretary of State was filled with music from the age of three, when she began music, figure skating, French and ballet lessons. At 15, it was her goal to become a concert pianist. Switching her college major to po-litical science set the stage for many of her achieve-ments. However, she has never abandoned her music, still practicing every day, and she even accompanied the celebrated cellist Yo-Yo Ma at Constitution Hall at a National Medal of Arts Awards recital.

• Most folks have heard of the Hubble Space Telescope, an instrument carried into orbit by a 1990 space shut-tle mission. But most don’t know that it was named for the American astronomer Edwin Hubble, the first to confirm the existence of galaxies other than our own Milky Way, a discovery made in 1923. A Rhodes Scholar, he studied law and set up a legal practice be-fore realizing that his passion was astronomy.

• Bo Jackson achieved fame as the first athlete to be

For Advertising Call 334-368-2578 named an All-Star in two major sports, baseball and football. His birth name was Vincent Edward Jack-son, after his mother’s favorite television star, Vince Edwards of “Ben Casey” fame. Jackson achieved his nickname when his family described him as a “wild boar hog” constantly getting into trouble. He signed with baseball’s Kansas City Royals as a left fielder in 1986 and started playing for football’s Los Angeles Raiders as a running back the following year.

• Goldie Hawn has a distinguished ancestor, Edward Rutledge, the youngest signer of the Declaration of Independence. This famous blonde actress is also an accomplished ballet dancer, having begun lessons at age three. At 11, she debuted in “The Nutcracker,” earning $1.50.

• The only child of famous automaker Henry Ford was born in November 1893. Edsel Ford grew up to marry into the Hudson’s department store family and found-ed Ford’s Mercury division. He also brought us the Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln Continental. Fourteen years after Edsel’s early death from stomach cancer at age 49, the Ford Motor Company introduced its new brand of cars named after him. Unfortunately, the Edsel was considered a commercial failure and was discontinued after the 1960 models.

• If you’ve seen any James Bond movies, you’ve heard the musical work of composer John Barry, who wrote the soundtracks for 11 of the films. The winner of five Academy Awards and four Grammys, he also com-posed the music for “Out of Africa” and “Dances with Wolves.”

• That bump on November baby Owen Wilson’s nose is the result of having his nose broken twice, once in a high school fracas, the other in a friendly foot-ball game. Wilson is no stranger to mischief, having been expelled from high school as a sophomore for cheating on his geometry test. He spent his junior and senior years in military school.

• Back in 1930, 18-year-old Leonard Slye packed up his belongings and moved to California, hoping to make it big as a singer. He played in several groups over the next few years — The Hollywood Hillbil-lies, Rocky Mountaineers, Texas Outlaws —before forming Sons of the Pioneers in 1934. The follow-ing year, he appeared in the first of his 100 movies. Along the way came a name change to Roy Rogers. He acquired his golden palomino Trigger in 1938 and was seen astride that horse in every single movie and television episode. (Trigger died at the ripe old age of 33 in 1965.) At the height of his career, Roy Rogers received more than 75,000 fan letters a month.

• Back in 1968, clothing designer Calvin Klein, armed with $10,000, started out with just a coat shop in the York Hotel in New York City. Gradually expanding over the next several years, he added the original de-signer jeans in 1974, using Brooke Shields as a mod-el. He sold $200,000 worth during the first week after their introduction.

• Baby boomers will recall the daily farewell message, “And that’s the way it is,” given by CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite as he wrapped up the television eve-ning news. He started his broadcasting career on radio in 1937 and brought bulletins on World War II bomb-ings and the Nuremberg trials. During his 19 years on the evening news, Cronkite reported the momentous events of Americans’ lives, including the death of Martin Luther King Jr., the Vietnam War, the Water-gate scandal, the Iran hostage crisis and most notably, his emotional and tearful delivery of the news of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He was the source for the news of the U.S. space program. Opinion polls named him “the most trusted man in America.”

• It should come as no surprise that movie hunk Mat-thew McConaughey was listed in his Longview, Tex-as, yearbook as “most handsome.” He spent one year of high school as an exchange student in New South Wales, Australia.

• The world’s first set of septuplets to survive infan-cy, Iowa’s McCaughey children, turn 14 this month. Born nine weeks early, the three girls and four boys consumed 42 bottles and required 52 diapers daily during their first several months. These days the fam-ily goes through seven dozen eggs and five gallons of milk every week.

• Talent seems to run in the family of Kevin Eubanks, former leader of the “Tonight Show” band. A classi-cal pianist/organist mother and jazz pianist uncle no doubt contributed to Eubanks’ prowess, as well as two musical brothers, one a trombonist, the other a trumpeter. Eubanks is more than the jazz guitarist we see — He also plays trumpet and violin and has com-posed the scores for four feature films.

¥ On Dec. 18, 1620, the Mayflower docks at what today is Plymouth, Mass., and its passengers disembarked to begin their new settlement, Plymouth Colony. The win-ter of 1620-1621 was brutal, and by spring, only 52 of the original 102 Mayflower passengers were still alive.

¥ On Dec. 16, 1773, in Boston Harbor, a group of Mas-sachusetts colonists disguised as Mohawk Indians board three British tea ships and dump 342 chests of tea into the harbor in protest of the British Parliament’s Tea Act of 1773. The value of the tea was more than $700,000 in today’s currency.

¥ On Dec. 17, 1961, a fire at a filled-to-capacity circus in Brazil kills more than 300 people and severely burns 500 more. The cause of the fire was never conclusively determined, but it may have been the result of sparks from a train passing nearby.

¥ On Dec. 15, 1973, Jean Paul Getty III, the grandson of American billionaire J. Paul Getty, is found alive near Naples, five months after his kidnapping by an Italian gang. Getty had initially refused to pay his 16-year-old grandson’s $17 million ransom, but finally agreed after the boy’s severed right ear was sent to a newspaper in Rome.

¥ On Dec. 12, 1980, American oil tycoon Armand Ham-mer pays $5,126,000 at auction for a notebook contain-ing writings by the legendary artist Leonardo da Vinci.

Dog’s Cough a Worry

DEAR PAWS’S CORNER: My friend has a Border Collie mix, “Jeffy,” who is about two or three years old. He snorts or coughs at

least 10 or 15 times a day, and when he does, a copious amount of mucus comes out of his nose. Can you tell me what causes this and how to remedy it? -- B.P., Prince George, Va.

DEAR B.P.: Coughing in dogs can have a number of causes, ranging from allergy to serious infection. The first thing your friend needs to do is take Jeffy to the veterinarian to rule out a dangerous illness like kennel cough or other infection, or an injury.Your friend should let the vet know how long Jeffy has had this cough, if he was recently boarded or regularly goes to doggy day care, and if his shots are up to date. Jeffy also should be regularly treated with a heartworm preventive; if he isn’t, your friend must let the doctor know. If Jeffy dealt with a recent flea infestation, let the vet know. If Jeffy is diagnosed with an illness -- respiratory infections can happen to any dog -- the vet will determine the type of infection and prescribe medicine to treat it. He also may prescribe a cough suppressant to give the dog a little relief from the coughing. If Jeffy gets a clean bill of health, your friend will want to look into other causes of his cough and mucus, such as seasonal allergies, a food allergy or an environmental allergy such as dampness and/or mold in the house. Treatment, along with reduced exposure to the allergen that’s causing the problem, can make a big difference.

Financial Crutches Can be Addicting

Three addicting financial habits can cost you extra money in the long run, according to The

National Foundation for Credit Counseling. Here are the culprits:

Pawn shops will loan money in exchange for an item you own, such as a television or stereo.

It’s considered an easy way to get money, and it can be addicting because of the immediacy.

At the end of the agreed upon period, you can buy your item back -- by paying the original

amount plus interest. If you can’t pay at that time, you can extend the loan period, with additional interest tacked on to the original

amount. The interest rates are more than you’d ever pay at a bank. To break the pawn-shop habit, set aside money until you accumulate

an emergency fund.

Payday loans can be addictive because of the immediate payoff (you get the cash right now) and the delayed payback (you write a post-

dated check). At the end of the agreed upon period, the lender will cash your check -- which is for the amount you borrowed plus interest.

As with pawn shops, the interest rates can be astronomical. To break the habit of using payday lenders, open a savings account at a credit

union. When you need a loan, ask there first.

Rent-to-Own is considered an easy way to get furniture, televisions, appliances and even computers for your home by making small

weekly payments. As with anything that sounds too good to be true, once you add up the fees and interest, along with the payments, you

could end up paying five or six times what you would have paid in a store. To break the rent-to-own habit, save your money and buy one

item at a time. If you use a credit card, don’t charge more than you can realistically pay off in three months.

While NFCC doesn’t mention it, buying a new vehicle every year can be an addictive habit as well. A shiny car or truck, without a

scratch, with that new-car smell and brand-new tires -- it’s easy to want one in the driveway. The problem is that vehicles depreciate

quickly. The longer you keep a vehicle, however, the less it depreciates each year. Invest in a complete vehicle detailing service twice a

year, and keep the vehicle at least three years.

For Advertising Call 334-368-2578 Incentive Bonuses Sometimes

Go AwryThe Department of Veterans Affairs uses bonuses to retain employees,

and they spend a lot of money doing that. Specifically, last year they spent $111 million to retain 16,487 employees.However, the VA’s Office of Inspector General found that of the incentives it studied, 80 percent were either questionable or weren’t justified, bringing the unsubstantiated amount to $1.06 million of the total spent.To be fair, the VA does use financial incentives to keep people in posi-tions that are hard to fill or that require employees who have special qualifications. According to the criteria for awarding incentives, there must be a scarcity of candidates who can fill the position, efforts to re-cruit new employees must have been unsuccessful and the job must require special abilities.The problem with this $1 million in incentives is that there wasn’t adequate documentation, information was missing from case files (annual reviews, for example, to determine if a bonus was deserved), incorrect salary surveys were used to determine amounts of incen-tives, documents were signed off without question, financial limits were exceeded and there was a lack of training and oversight.According to the OIG’s report, the VA was often lax about it: Ex-tra salary increased didn’t always stop when they were supposed to, with extra payments continuing until it was brought to someone’s attention. In one case, a senior executive received a hefty retention bonus and shortly after received a second one. There was no docu-mented justification.Based on the OIG’s sample of selected facilities that uncovered the 80 percent problem rate, it’s recommended that in the next 12 months, 100 percent of incentive payments be reviewed and unnec-essary payments stopped.If you want to report wrongdoing in VA Programs and Operations, call 1-800-488-8244, or send email to [email protected].

Stewart Wins By (Literally)

Nothing

HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- One isn’t actually the lone-liest number. It’s zero.

Zero was Tony Stewart’s margin in the closest cham-pionship battle in NASCAR history. Zero was no margin at all.Try to tell Carl Edwards that.Edwards finished second for the third week in a row, and as a result, he finished second for the season. Two isn’t supposed to be lonely, but on this Sunday night at Homestead-Miami Speedway, it was. Two was the position of the first loser. The gentlemanly Edwards lost to the aggressive Stewart.During the latter of two rain delays, Stewart did ex-actly what he had been doing for a month. He talked smack. Then he delivered the smack he talked about.“We are fixing to wear him (Edwards) out,” Stewart said. “We get up there and get some more track posi-tion, and we’ve got a pretty good Chevy. We’ve been

able to match his lap times, and we just have to hang in there with him. We’re going to make this interest-ing before it’s over if we haven’t already.”Edwards led 119 laps, nearly twice as many as Stew-art. Stewart, however, led the final 36. Stewart didn’t pit when the race resumed under a yellow flag, and Stewart stayed on the track for track position, which he never relinquished. For 33 of those final 36 laps Stew-art led. Edwards was in second, but he could never get much closer than a second behind and crossed the finish line trailing by 1.306, which may not be much but was, yes, infinitely greater than Stewart’s wacky and extraordinary Chase margin of, uh, zero points.“At least we know we can compete with any of these people,” Edwards said. “We know we can compete with a three-time champion (Stewart) who wins five races in the Chase and still wind up with the same number of points as he got.”In the end, it was small consolation. No, it was cold consolation. Ruthless consolation.Stewart won the race. Edwards, who began the twice-rain-delayed Ford 400 three points ahead, finished second. They each finished with 2,403 points. Stew-art won the championship by tie-breaker. He won five

races. Edwards won only one.“Whether we won tonight or lost, tonight is the start of the next season,” Edwards rationalized. “I was pre-pared for anything. I knew this was a possibility. I told myself I’d walk back to that motor home, win, lose or draw, and be a good example for my kids. We’ll be better next season.”Edwards’ average finish in the Chase, 4.9, was bet-ter than any previous Chase (2004-present) champion but not enough to beat Stewart, who won more Chase races than anyone in history.Stewart overcame a lousy break at the beginning -- a mysterious hole poked in the grille of his Chevy -- and took advantage of a good break later, when he ran out of gas trying to stretch his run but benefited after rain brought the race to a halt for a while.

Tony Stewart celebrates after winning the Ford 400 and the 2011 Sprint Cup at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Stewart won the championship by the narrowest margin possible. (Getty Im-ages for NASCAR photo)

BOARD GAME BITSAlthough video games increase in popularity on a daily basis, there’s nothing like a good old board game! Check out the origins of some of these longtime favorites. • If you’re familiar with the names of Mrs. Peacock, Professor

Plum and Colonel Mustard, you’ve played Clue. This murder mystery game was invented in England in 1944 by a solicitor’s clerk who thought it would be a good way to pass the time while sitting in underground bunkers during World War II air raid drills. It was originally called “Murder!” The players move throughout nine rooms of a mansion seeking clues as to which character committed the crime and which weapon — rope, revolver, wrench, candlestick, knife or lead pipe — was used.

• Two Canadian journalists conceived the idea of the popular game Trivial Pursuit, commercially released in 1981. An 18-year-old artist created the final artwork for the game. In 1984 alone, more than 20 million games were sold.

• It’s not surprising that the best-selling board game in the world is the game of Monopoly, with more than 200 million games sold. It’s estimated that 500 million people have played the game since its release during the Great Depression. It’s sold in 103 countries and in 37 languages. In the English version, the highest rent property is “Boardwalk,” but if you live in Spain, it’s Paseo del Pradeo named after a Barcelona street, and in France, it’s Rue de la Paix. During the game’s history, it’s been more than just a source of entertainment. During World War II, Monopoly games containing escape maps, compasses and files were smuggled to prisoners in German POW camps. Real money was even hidden inside packs of the play money to aid in prisoners’ escapes.

• A serious illness was the catalyst for the creation of one of the most popular children’s games, Candy Land. Eleanor Abbott was recovering from polio in 1945 and wanted to create something to entertain children afflicted with the disease. She devised a race to find the lost King of Candy Land covering 134 winding colored squares, so that no reading skills were required. Characters encountered along the route included Queen Frostine, Gramma Nutt and Lord Licorice, as players made their way through the Candy Cane Forest and Gum Drop Mountain. The first games sold for a dollar. There have been more than 40 million Candy Land games sold since.

• Chutes & Ladders was created to teach children good morals — Good deeds are rewarded with a trip up the ladder, while bad conduct results in a slide down. Originally called Snakes & Ladders, its origins are in India, with slithering serpents as the consequences of bad choices. Milton Bradley brought it to America in 1943 and changed the name and format.

• In 1964, to coincide with the Beatles’ arrival in America, Milton Bradley released its “Beatles’ Flip Your Wig” game, with a price tag of $2.98. There were four playing pieces, one of each Beatle, and players had to move around the board collecting four cards for their band member — a picture card, a signature card, an instrument card and a hit record card. Today, if you happen to have a mint condition copy of the game, it’s worth upwards of $300.

• Chinese checkers have nothing to do with China — The game was invented in Germany in 1892. The hexagram-shaped game came to the United States in 1928 marketed under the name of Hop Ching Checkers.

Sweet Potato CheesecakeINGREDIENTS 1 1/4 CUPS GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMBS 1/4 CUP WHITE SUGAR 1/4 CUP BUTTER, MELTED 2 POUNDS SWEET POTATOES 3 (8 OUNCE) PACKAGES CREAM CHEESE, SOFTENED 7/8 CUP WHITE SUGAR 1/3 CUP SOUR CREAM 1/4 CUP HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM 3 EGGS 3/4 CUP PACKED BROWN SUGAR 1/4 CUP BUTTER 1/4 CUP HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM 1 CUP CHOPPED PECANS

DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C ). Mix together graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup melted butter or margarine. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9 1/2 inch springform pan. Bake 10 minutes. Cool. Don’t turn the oven off. Place potatoes in a baking dish. Bake until a knife inserted in center goes through easily, about 1 hour. Don’t turn oven off. Cool sweet po-tatoes enough to handle, peel, and puree. Transfer 1 1/2 cups of sweet potato puree to a large bowl. Add cream cheese, 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons white sugar, sour cream and 1/4 cup cream; beat until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, blending well after each. Pour filling into crust. Bake until tester inserted in center comes out clean, 1 hour. Turn off the oven. Let cake stand 1 hour in oven with door ajar. Combine brown sugar and 1/4 cup butter or margarine in a heavy small saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat, and bring to a boil. Mix in 1/4 cup cream, then nuts. Pour hot topping over cheesecake. Refrigerate.
