Section ....................22-23 The Kitchen Diva............................23 April 12 is Kate’s birthday which she loves to have celebrated. I started the day by inviting her out to breakfast. She said, “No, thanks.” “Aw, come on,” I coaxed. “I promise you can have anything you want and I won’t say a word.” She was skeptical but finally agreed and I knew she would have her beloved sausage gravy on biscuits. She did and I thought, “Oh, the cholesterol, oh, the carbohydrates, oh the calories,” but as promised, did not say anything. After breakfast I took her shopping to a favorite shoe emporium, where I hoped to replace her rather ragged looking boots. This worked out well and soon she was wearing a smart grey pair with lateral pleats at the top that really looked good, and, she assured me, felt wonderful. Then we were off to Bingo where I had arranged a couple of little surprises with our friends who ran the place. At the beginning of the third game, the caller announced that we were celebrating Kate’s birthday and would play a special game in her honor. It turned out to be the big plus with the four corners, which is an all-time favorite of Kate’s. She didn’t win but was on which was not nearly as good but kept her spirits high. Several people stopped by our table to wish her a happy birthday. It’s easy to make friends at Bingo and soon the whole place was like a family party. After the break when I bought Kate a doughnut of her choice, she won a simple game of two parallel lines. Her birthday was going splendidly and I felt good about doing a bit of preplanning. She was on one more time during the session and left feeling happy. Next we met Rod and Cliff for dinner at our favorite steak house. Cliff had a great gift for Kate, in a longish necklacelooking box. When she opened it, she discovered two tickets to the next Seahawks game and was delighted. Rod had also come up with a gift. He proposed a day of Bingo at a nearby casino, when he would buy our meals. All in all it was a super evening and the day altogether had been just great. As we were preparing to leave the restaurant, Cliff said, “I don’t suppose any of you know what else happened on this date.” We were all properly puzzled when Kate said, “I know.” We turned to her expectantly. “President Franklin Roosevelt died on April 12, 1945. And the whole nation went into mourning, but not me.” “You idiot,” I said. “You weren’t born yet.” ...You may be surprised to learn that most Greek and Roman statuary and architecture weren’t originally the pristine white we see today. Archaeologists have found evidence that these structures and sculptures were brightly painted in ancient times; the paint has just worn off in the intervening centuries. …Brazil nuts do come from Brazil, but they’re not technically nuts; they’re seeds. …When you think of the band ZZ Top, you probably think of long beards—that’s become a sort of signature for them. The drummer, though, is beardless—and his name is Frank Beard. …A ground squirrel typically has a heartbeat of around 300 beats per minute. During hibernation, though, that drops dramatically—to only three or four beats per minute. * In the United Kingdom it is illegal to deface paper money, but it’s perfectly legal to burn it. …Gene Cernan was the 12th—and last— human to walk on the moon, in December 1972. While he was there, he scratched his daughter’s initials onto the lunar surface. Those initials, “TDC,” are likely to remain there for tens of thousands of years. …Most muppeteers are right-handed and use their dominant hand to operate their puppets’ heads; therefore, most muppets are lefthanded. …If you have kids between the ages of 9 and 11, you might be interested to learn that nearly half of respondents in a survey believe that is the appropriate age for kids to begin helping vacuum the house. …The White House’s first display of fireworks to celebrate Independence Day occurred in 1797 and was hosted by President John Adams. © King Features The BINGO BUGLE $100 MONTHLY GIVEAWAY!

Which sites can you recommend that are easy to use, provide good information and don’t charge a fee? Calculating Carl Dear Carl, When it comes to getting a handle on your financial situation and gauging how much you’ll need to retire, the Internet offers a buffet of tools and calculators that can be very helpful. Here are some good sites to help get you started. Retirement Tools Some of the best retirement planning tools and calculators on the Web today are offered through large financial service companies. While the purpose of these tools is to entice new business, most companies don’t require you to be a client or purchase their products to use them. Here are four dandy sites to use (try several and compare), all of which are free. WealthRuler: Available at TD Ameritrade, this tool charts your retirement outlook and suggests ways to help you develop a plan to reach your goals. Go to www.tdameritrade.com/planningretirementlwealthruler.html and plug in your financial information (taxes, planned financial events, yearly income, projected Social Security, IRAs and other investments) to get your results. Retirement Income Calculator: Provided by T. Rowe Price (www3.troweprice.comlric/ric/public/ric.do ), this tool uses the Monte Carlo methodology to project whether your retirement-income needs will be met based on your savings, assets and age. Vanguard Retirement Center: Provides retirement advice, along with different calculators depending on your needs and age: More than five years to retirement, less than five years to retirement, and already retired. See https://personal.vanguard.comluslplanningeducationlretirement. MyPlan Retirement Quick Check: Offered by Fidelity (Fidelity.com/myplan) this site starts with a fun “Snapshot” introduction that puts your retirement reality in perspective, and will help you create a plan to help you reach your retirement goals. Other Resources If you don’t like the company sites, there are many others you can turn to for free re- Rose Carter - $250 Saint Joseph High School Wednesday Nights - Lakewood tirement planning information and calculators, such as: Choose To Save: Created by the Employee Benefit Research Institute, this site (Choosetosave.org) offers the Ballpark Estimate retirement planning worksheet, more than 100 online calculators, savings tips and links to resources to help you manage your finances and plan your retirement. CNN Money (cgi.money.cnn.com/retirement/tools): Provides a number of calculators that projects what and how much you need to save for retirement, and how you compare with other people in your age and income level. MSN Money: Has a “Retirement and Wills Center” that offers a retirement planner and calculator and gives tips and strategies for saving for retirement. Visit moneycentral.msn.com/personal-financeclick on “Retirement.” Yahoo Finance: Offers retirement information and a variety of calculators at http://finance.yahoo.com/retirement. AOL Money & Finance: Provides financial and retirement calculators at www.walletpop.com/calculators/retirement. Bank Rate: Go to Bankrate.com and click on “Retirement” for a variety of retirement calculators. Specific Calculations To get estimates or information on specific areas of retirement, here are some additional resources that can help. Social Security: To estimate your future Social Security retirement benefits at different ages using different future earnings projections see www.ssa.gov/estimator . Also see Metlife.comlindividual/financial-toolslsocial-security-toollindex.html, which offers a tool to help you decide when to start drawing your benefits. IRAs: To determine which type of IRA (Roth or traditional) is best for you, how much you can contribute and whether you should convert part or all of a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA see Morningstar’s IRA calculator at http://screen.morningstar.com/ IRA/IRACalculator.html. Immediate Annuities: To calculate how much you can get with an immediate annuity see Immediateannuities.com. Life Expectancy: One of the key (and unknown) elements of retirement planning is how long you’ll live. Log on to Livingtol00.com to get your estimate. Financial Planning If you’re looking for a detailed financial plan, there are several new websites that offer interactive tools to help you see your current financial situation and map out your financial goals—all for free. The sites: SimpliFi.net, Planwithvoyant.com and ESPlannerBasic (Basic.esplanner.com). You’ll need to plug in your income information expenses, debts, assets, insurance, savings and retirement accounts, and the sites will do the rest. APRIL 9TH EARLY START TIME!

April Fool’s Day is when you should believe nothing and trust no one. In other words, it’s just like every other day. – Anonymous Ah, sweet April and the smell of spring with the promise of lazy days of summer wafting on the breeze. When I was teaching, April and May were the winding down months as I finished the years’s curriculum and prepared to say goodbye to students I had grown to love. In recent years, my husband and I have wintered in Bullhead City, Arizona. It’s across the river from Laughlin, Nevada, which happens to be the location of ten or so casinos. Not that I visit those money snatchers of iniquity. OK, OK, I can hear my family, friends, and loyal readers of this column screaming as they read this, “Liar, liar, pants on fire!” so shut up already. Yes, I do. I also play Bingo at three of them, namely Riverside, River Lodge, and Tropicana. We play at the Trop the most because the staff there is extra friendly; except for Michelle. According to my husband she’s evil. Ha, ha, just kidding, folks, because we actually love her and Robert particularly likes to needle her. Anyway, we were on a losing streak and I told Michelle it was her fault. Of course, losing is common for us so I don’t know who to blame at the other places we play except for my brother Richard. He doesn’t gamble so he keeps telling me he put losing mojo on us so that Robert and I will give up our favorite hobby. Not likely; but I am researching how to change bad mojo in to good. I’m sure there’s a way. On the Bullhead City side of the Colorado River the local BPOE, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, sponsor a Bingo that’s open to the public. They offer non-smoking games most Friday nights with a five dollar minimum buy in. Annually, BPO Elks from across America give more than $200 Million in cash, goods, and services to our nation’s youth, veterans, disadvantaged, handicapped, and individuals and groups in support of patriotic and civic programs. That’s impressive and reinforces that our Bingo dollars are put to good use when we play in our hometown games run by charitable organizations. Would you believe it if I told you that my losing streak finally ended when I won a million dollar cash ball at a Las Vegas Bingo game? If you did, I’d have to shout with glee, “April Fool!” I hated April Fool’s Day as a teacher, but rather enjoy it these days. An especially good prank was sprung in 1957 in England. The BBC broadcast a film purporting to show Swiss farmers picking freshlygrown spaghetti in what they called the Swiss Spaghetti Harvest. The BBC were later flooded with requests to purchase a spaghetti plant! Boy, how gullible can some people be? On another note, no joking, April 16th is Husband Appreciation Day. Take yours to Bingo. If he gets to holler Bingo then you’ll appreciate him even more. Robert and I have been married almost forty years. Each year that passes, my love grows because he puts up with me. Until next month, may Lady Luck blow you kisses as you dance out the door with dollars. Win big. E-mail me at [email protected] to show your appreciation of this column, LOL.

G 1st Week of Every Month I don’t know if you have ever heard the old expression, “It’s as noisy in here as a bus station.” Well, I thought of that old adage the other night while TRYING to play Bingo at my regular Monday night venue. For a couple of years I have walked across the street from my apartment, here in Palm Springs, California, to play at a small hotel/restaurant complex. The caller for the evening has been a tall, lanky guy whose comic persona is that of a drag queen. But, before you get the wrong idea, he is what you might call a “half-way drag queen.” This guy must be about 6’2” to start with. And, after he adds high heels and an incredibly tall, stacked-up wig, he is more of an entertainer than a guy trying to look like a woman. All that being said, a few weeks ago— for one reason or another—he was not there to lead us in Bingo. His substitute evening. Her being short money may cause very serious ramifications; her honesty may be questioned or even greater consequences may result. Keeping the extra packs that were attached to the packs sold is comparable to a bank teller giving $200 in change instead of $100 in change because the bills were “stuck together.” If it doesn’t rightly belong to you, then don’t take it! —V.A.T., North Las Vegas, Nevada SOUTH ST.

Although she had been a frequent player there, it was obvious that this was her first time at the helm of a Bingo session. To make matters worse, the regular sound system was on the fritz. When she spoke, only about a dozen or so of the people nearest to her could understand her. And, the restaurant where Bingo is played each week was packed with people visiting Palm Springs for a festival. So, here was a slightly out-of-place, aging entertainer, trying to hold court in a packed, noisy restaurant, with a defective sound system. And, many in the crowd were expecting the regular host and were disappointed. It was a recipe for disaster. It was like trying to play Bingo in a busy bus station. As the evening progressed, I moved to the front in order to hear what she was saying. In some ways, it was the strangest night of Bingo I ever experienced. In another way, it was proof that if you really like the game you’ll strain to hear every word, even if chaos is going on all around you. Have you ever been in a situation like that? I have heard from many of you that even in some QUIET places you still can’t understand the callers. And, as I have pointed out in past months, that is a growing concern. Drop me a line on the Internet: [email protected]. And, if you don’t have e-mail, a friend says you can use his physical address: DD, Box 5441, Palm Springs, CA, 92263. Next time: Some wonderful comments from the mailbox. Lucky Lady ■ Readers respond Dear Readers: A few issued ago, we ran a letter from a woman who had been given extra packs by mistake during her buy-in at Bingo. She chose to play the packs, and even won a jackpot, but never told the hall of the mistake. She later felt guilty and wrote in asking what she should do. Following are some reader reactions to that letter. Feel free to write if you also want to weigh in! —Aunt Bingo Dear Aunt Bingo, I’m writing in regard to a letter you received from “Lucky Lady” about a “dilemma” she faced at Bingo when she was accidently given two extra Bingo packs which she played instead of returning when she realized the mistake. The main aspect of the situation was not addressed, and that is of accountability. Packs sold are numbered and money collected through sales is verified by the number of packs sold. The Bingo agent who gave her the packs came up short money when she tallied her sales for the Dear Aunt Bingo, I mostly liked how you handled the situation with the player who was given extra packs by mistake, but I also feel like you were a little bit too gentle with her. This was not a “theoretical theft,” as you phrased it. The lady knew right away that she had been given packs she did not pay for and she even set them aside, which further proves that she knew they did not belong to her. Only later did she give in to temptation and play them, and never admitted the mistake to the Bingo operators. At the very least she should pay the cost of the paper so the Bingo doesn’t have the financial error. What she does with the $75 she won is between her and her conscience. —Joan C., via email Dear Aunt Bingo, That lady who got the free packs was soooooo lucky! I think it is nutso that she feels bad about it. She should take a sec and count up all the money she has lost playing Bingo there. I’m sure it is a lot, just like most Bingo players. For once she had a little extra luck and got an extra chance to win some of it back. I say “Good for her!” —L.M., via email Share your views! Write to Aunt Bingo c/o the Bingo Bugle, P.O. Box 527, Vashon, Washington 98070, or email her at [email protected].

Your city is large enough to offer opportunities for education and/or volunteer work, even a parttime job.

Saints Bingo Saturday Nights Delightful symbols ■ Refreshing dreams Dear Dream Lady, I have been having dreams about rainbows and red roses. I have never had dreams that were pleasant until now. I am 44. I have never gotten on with my life. I have not married because I have not met the right guy. I have not had any major changes in my life. I take care of my mom and this has been a long haul for me— which has been worrisome and stressful. I do hope my dreams about rainbows and red roses point to something good happening for me. Thank you. Serena V. P., Olathe, Kansas Dear Serena, You are 100% correct. Rainbows and red roses are delightful symbols of success, joy, acceptance and love. I understand that your life has been consumed with caring for your mother. Is it possible for you to start branching out to meet other people? Would your mother understand that you need time to start Dear Dream Lady, I dreamed I walked through an entire field of purple irises, but I was sobbing non-stop. I also came across a small cottage which featured a colorful variety of flowers, but I only felt deep sadness. Needless to say, I woke up very sad. What does this mean? Beth A., San Angelo, Texas Dear Beth, Irises and most flowers symbolize joy. The cottage tells me you have a comfortable life. Have you had a sudden and/or deep loss in your life? Are you a person who looks at the glass as half full or half empty? Are you sad in your “awake” life? If so, I suggest you see a psychologist who will give you emotional tools and/or a mild prescription to help you cope with your situation. If you are not sad, then look at this dream as one of “advice” to look for the flowers and not the thorns in your life. We all have “bad days,” it is how you get through them that makes the difference. My thoughts are with you as you figure this out. —Dream Lady Mail your dreams to Dream Lady at POB 414, Entiat, WA 98822. Send a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope because not all dreams are published.

Your second port of call is St. Kitts, with its unsurpassed natural beauty, sunny skies, warm waters, and white sandy beaches. Uncrowded and unspoiled, St. Kitts is famed worldwide for its protected ecosystems. Nature lovers will want to take advantage of the various tours through lava formations, tropical forest areas and seaside lagoons. Boating tours and scuba diving expeditions are also favorite activities. And quaint shopping areas and beautiful colonial architecture draw visitors to the small towns dotting the island. Island activities include outstanding hiking through the island’s rainforests; golfing on internationally ranked golf courses; and fishing, boating, and diving or snorkeling through underwater reefs and shipwrecks. There is also a wealth of historic points of interest, including restored fortresses and ancient petroglyphs. And in the midst of all these attractions are many of the finest and most welcoming plantation inns in the Caribbean. Sights not to be missed include the city of Basseterre, which is set against the backdrop of St. Kitts’ rolling green hills and dotted by elegant Georgian architecture. It is considered one of the most beautiful and engaging of the Caribbean’s small capital cities. Sandy Point is the second largest of St. Kitts’ towns. During the 17th century, it was the center of the island’s tobacco trade. Among the town’s most interesting sights are the large tobacco warehouses constructed by the Dutch West India Company. Old Road Bay is the site where Sir Thomas Warner and a small group of travelers began the first permanent European settlement in the Leeward Islands. It was tobacco that had drawn Warner to the island, and it was the island’s tobacco crop that first supported the settlement, later followed by a larger sugar industry. Liamuiga is the name of St. Kitts’ central mountain, a lush, 3,792-foot volcanic peak known during the colonial period as Mount Misery. A rugged hiking adventure up Mount Liamuiga takes visitors through the exotic flora and fauna of the island’s rainforest to the mile-wide crater-rim of this dormant volcano. Among the vineladen trees and tropical wildflowers, are a wide variety of rare and colorful birds, butterflies, monkeys and other fascinating creatures. Enjoy the exotic beauty of the islands of the Caribbean as a participant in the 28th annual World Championship Bingo Tournament & Gaming Cruise.

Angel’s Bingo Thursday • Friday • Saturday Oh, Sweet Pea If there is a poster vegetable for spring, one that embodies the fresh flavors we are so ready for after a season of roots and leafy greens, it would be the garden pea. This crop loves the still-cool temperatures of the first weeks of the new season, and its plants produce prolific white or lavender blooms that are lovely to look at…if you are lucky enough to grow them. Those flowers give way to showy, bright-green bulging pods. There are three main types of garden peas. First there is the classic green pea that produces a pod full of plump, round, green peas. This is the part of the plant we eat, discarding the pods, which tend to be tough. These peas are sometimes called English peas. Fresh peas from the field or garden are sweet, creamy and bursting with the fresh taste of the season. For those of us who don’t have the opportunity to purchase fresh peas, they can be found in the frozen section of your grocery. The snow pea and the sugar snap pea, which is a cross between the snow pea and the garden pea, are varieties that have the same fresh deliciousness of garden peas. But it’s the pods, with their texture and crunch that are so tasty. When buying fresh green peas, look for firm, brightly colored pods. Small pods tend to be the most tender and usually will have a fresher taste. Plan to prepare your garden peas right away, as the sugars in all varieties begin turning to starch after harvesting. Although they come from the same family, the nutritional values of peas vary. Green garden peas contain high amounts of vitamin A, as well as good amounts of antioxidants. However, because the pod of the snow pea and sugar snap pea are eaten, they provide the nutritional benefits of high fiber and vitamin C that garden peas do not. This recipe for Fresh Pea and Lettuce Salad provides a delicious showcase for various varieties of peas. It’s perfect as a stand-alone salad or as a side dish with chicken or fish.

To mix things up, I like to attend several different Bingo halls around my city. The Bingo is pretty much equally enjoyable at all of them, but the conditions of the hall and equipment are very different. A couple of the halls have good lighting, good sound systems, good/ample seating, and good equipment. But, the majority of them fall short in one or more of these areas and can/should make some improvements to make the games more enjoyable and maybe bring in more players. Some examples: My very favorite hall—which has a great atmosphere and good players and workers—has terrible ball monitors. One has been black for weeks and the other two have bad color and static making them hard to see. Isn’t a monitor simply a TV set? It seems to me each one could and should easily be replaced for a few hundred dollars from the Bingo revenue. Why the delay? Another hall has the worst sound system ever: lots of static, has a strange hum and cuts in and out… not what you want to deal with when you are trying to hear someone call numbers. There are also several halls with furnishings—I’m talking tables and chairs—that are in very poor condition. The chairs in particular are concerning because you have lots of older players who end up in considerable physical pain from sitting in bent, sagging, dated metal folding chairs for too long a period of time. It is great that Bingo games give money to needy causes. It is one of the reasons I don’t mind losing, because I know there is a worthy cause that will be a winner because I play. But I also think that the Bingo operators should designate a portion of the profits for their own operations—to fix them up where they need fixing and make the places more appealing and comfortable for players. I am not looking for an emperor’s palace, but would greatly appreciate easy-to-see monitors, a quality sound system, and a nice, comfortable place to sit when I come to play Bingo. —V. Lang, via email Hi V., It doesn’t seem to me that you are stepping on anyone’s toes by making these points. In a lot of cases I suspect that Bingo halls with the issues you address have them because they are more focused on passing along the money to worthy causes than spending it on themselves. But smart business means looking after the customer, and if that customer finds your services difficult to enjoy due to operational problems like a bad sound system or uncomfortable seating, they will go elsewhere. I’m certainly no expert, but Bingo regulations must allow for a portion of gaming revenue to go to hall upkeep. And it is important that Bingo operators take a good look at their operations and improve them wherever they can. —Guy Hey guys! (And gals!) Write to: Guy’s Turn c/o The Bingo Bugle, P.O.

Be sure to include your name and address (you may request that your name not be published), as typically Guy will not include anonymous letters in his columns Blackjack players ■ Wake up! It was a busy Saturday night in the casino. As I walked around the casino, I was appalled at what I saw. In one section of the casino, there was half a dozen blackjack tables in a “party pit” jampacked with players. Most of the players were male, no doubt because most of the blackjack dealers were female wearing skimpy attire (get my drift). Not far away from this party pit in the main casino were dozens of blackjack tables. These tables had players, but they were not nearly as crowded as the blackjack tables in the party pit. So why was I appalled? The rules, baby, the rules. The biggest difference in the rules was the payoff for a blackjack. In the main casino, a player blackjack was paid at 3-2 payoff odds, but in the party pit, it was a woeful 6-5. Why, I asked myself as I stared at these clueless players, would anyone want to play a blackjack game and get paid only $12 for every $10 blackjack hand when 30 feet away they can play the same blackjack game and get paid $15 or $3 more for each blackjack. Don’t think this is a big deal? Let’s see what it is costing someone who plays a 6-5 game vs 32. Statistically, you can expect to get a blackjack about once in every 21 hands. (Easy stat to remember since the game of blackjack was once called 21). Let’s suppose you play 100 hands per hour. I realize that number could be higher or lower depending upon the number of players on the table and, of course, the speed of the dealer. But for the purpose of this analysis, let’s use the round number of 100 hands per hour. If you are dealt 100 hands per hour, you can expect to get five blackjack hands per hour on average. (You can expect 1 blackjack every 21 hands on average, so in 100 hands you can expect 4.8 blackjacks on Ben Fibiger Split $100 Flash West Covina Elks Thursday Nights average, which we’ll round to five blackjack hands.) Let’s assume you are betting $10 a hand and every hour you get those five blackjacks on average. Here is what you will get paid: At 6-5 game, you’ll get paid $12 for each blackjack or a total of $60 per hour. At 3-2 game, you’ll get paid $15 for each blackjack or a total of $75 per hour. This means that playing a 6-5 game costs a player $15 each hour compared to playing a 3-2 game (assuming the rules are the same in both games). If I asked you to fork over $15 in cash to the dealer every hour that you sit at a 65 game (betting $10 a hand) would you do it? I didn’t think so. But that’s exactly what these clueless players were doing in the party pit. Folks, trust me on this: it’s tough enough to beat the game of blackjack with a traditional 3-2 blackjack payoff and it’s virtually impossible with a 6-5 blackjack payoff. What is sad is that as long as players sit down at the rip-off 6-5 games, casinos will continue to put those games on the casino floor. If you were smart, you would boycott those games and tell all your friends not to play any 6-5 blackjack game. If the word gets out and players stop playing this horrible game, casino managers would have no choice but to bring back the fairer 3-2 blackjack payoffs. I’d also suggest you email or talk to the casino manager at your local casino that offers 6-5 games and tell him/her you are planning to do your playing elsewhere where they offer only 3-2 blackjack games. (If enough players do this what do you think would happen?) Dear readers you’ve got the ball on this one. Take some action or keep forking over $15 each hour to the casinos. Your choice.

The wireless giant has secured naming rights for the 20,000seat sports, concert, and events venue owned by MGM Resorts International and AEG that’s being built behind New YorkNew York and is slated to open April 6. The terms of the deal were not disclosed, except that the yearly fee is less than $6 million (name-sponsorship deals often reach $10 million annually). T-Mobile says that it intends to be active in the promotion of events, using its wireless reach to provide ticket presales and upgrades, along with other incentives, to its customers. And as you’d expect, the company promises that cell-phone service from inside the arena will be first rate. Arena Garage As part of the parking-policy overhaul, MRI will build a $54 million 3,000-space parking structure to serve the arena. The structure will be located behind Excalibur and is expected to be completed in 2017. The Park The opening date for The Park has been announced for April 4. The outdoor dining and entertainment district that connects NY-NY, Monte Carlo, and the T-Mobile Arena will include several bars, as well as “small cafés and bistros.” Four Story Golf Topgolf International has announced that its four-story 105,000-square-foot “golf experience” currently under construction at MGM Grand will open in May. In addition to 108 hitting bays, the attraction will include five bars, two kitchens, a concert venue, two swimming pools, a retail shop and Callaway club fitting center, and private-event spaces. Wynn Plaza Plans are in the works for a new retail and food-and-beverage area at Wynn Las Vegas that will reportedly occupy space freed up by the closing of the Ferrari store and the relocation of the poker room to Encore. No building timetable has been disclosed. Las Vegas Club In an interview with Global Gaming Business magazine, Derek Stevens said that he bought the Las Vegas Club to head off plans to turn it into a drugstore, and that “there will be a combination of demolition, rehabilitation, and new construction” implemented. However, he added that they’re “not even at the design phase at this point” for whatever it is that’s planned there.

I start out with Romaine lettuce, sliced Roma tomatoes, cucumber slices, canned artichoke quarters and sliced hard-boiled eggs. I garnish with canned tuna (drained of all water), olives, onions and peppercinis (Greek peppers that come in a jar). I add a favorite oil and vinegar based dressing (I use Newman’s Family Italian). Be creative and add more to your liking. Let me know what you add too. Enjoy! —Annie Dear Annie, I love your recipes and use many. Our squash season is gone for the best tasting ones, but I’ll do with store bought. In the recipe in October 2015 Bingo Bugle, for the baked stuffed zucchini squash, I noticed you said add scallion—meaning onion? Then add nuts—what kind and how many? I guess I could use pumpkin seeds. Well keep up the good recipes. And when you get a chance reply. Thank you for my answer. Maryanne F., from Oceano, California Dear Maryanne, I can only assume turning seventy has its drawbacks. I meant to say onions, not scallions. Also I did not include any nuts in the recipe. I never tried using pumpkin seeds, but I will next time I prepare my We publish these business box ads as a service to our readers, but we are in no way responsible for results of responses to ads.

By staying true to what you love. In other words, allow interest and passion to guide your way. Use the light of the Full Moon on the 11th to illuminate your path.

PREDICTORS LUCKY CARD FOR APRIL 2016 by Frederick Woodruff astroinquiry.com Explore more at Horoscopes for April 2016 ARIES: Mar. 21-Apr. 20: Spring and romance! It’s time to fall in love with what you enjoy doing most. This means taking the time to schedule time for your favorite hobbies or pastimes. Your creative powers are at their peak during this season, so dig out the watercolors, the journals, the sketchpads or the garden tools; whatever will aid and compliment your wellspring of imagination. Lucky Days: 12-24 Lucky Numbers 17-43 TAURUS: Apr. 21-May 21: April finds you raring to go at the starting gate. The plans you’ve harbored to renovate your career require full activation in April. Don’t miss the opportunity to take the bull by the horns and make your move (no pun intended). Allow your own soul force to combine with assistance from the angels. Higher powers are waiting in the wings to help you. Lucky Days: 3-30 Lucky Numbers: 28-65 GEMINI: May 22-June 21: Use this quote from the writer Sonia Choquette to reinforce your intellect’s hidden resources: “Your own words are the bricks and mortar of the dreams you want to realize. Your words are the greatest power you have.” Write out, each morning, what your intentions are for the rest of the year. You’ll be amazed at what you will accomplish by formulating your goals clearly this month. Lucky Days: 12-18 Lucky Numbers: 24-62 CANCER: June 22-July 22: Venus moves into your house of greater wisdom this month. This allows you to attract to yourself the people and knowledge you need to build a stronger connection with your spiritual world. Ancient teachers have repeated a similar message: Seek first to understand your soul and from that effort all else will be provided for you. This is a powerful concept to embrace and April is the month to explore this teaching. Lucky Days: 18-24 Lucky Numbers: 24-39 LEO: July 23-Aug. 23: Organization is the key. You will accomplish much by setting a defined program for yourself and then sticking to it. Put your energy into a new nutritional and exercise plan. This allows your body to generate the energy it needs to keep you moving. Why? Surprising creative impulses are ready to descend in April and you’ll want to be in the best shape possible to channel this new force. Lucky Days: 13-19 Lucky Numbers: 25-50 APRIL 2016 1th 4th 7th 10th 13th 16th 22nd 25th 26th 29th APRIL FOOL’S DA7 PASSOVER New Moon World Health Day National Siblings Day First Quarter Moon Scrabble Day Record Store Day Full Moon EARTH DAY World Penguin Day National Pretzel Day Last Quarter Moon Arbor Day Page 28; Bingo Bugle (Los Angeles County) April 2016 LIBRA: Sept. 24-Oct. 23: Your love of harmony is paramount. But oddly, you can be argumentative. Why is that? The Full Moon on the 11th offers clues. Relationship tussles will require an effort to assuage and correct. If you pay attention you’ll come to understand your unique manner of achieving order by disrupting the status quo. There’s a reason you get bored easily when things are too calm. Find out why in April. Lucky Days: 4-14 Lucky Numbers: 3-27 SCORPIO: Oct. 24-Nov. 22: Mars turns retrograde in your house of self-expression. This means your attention is turned to the clues that your dreams and unconscious offer regarding plans for the summer. Don’t lose heart if you feel your physical powers stall, this is nature’s way of aligning you with the cosmic power that drives all life forward in the universe. Lucky Days: 13-27 Lucky Numbers 11-65 SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 23-Dec. 21: Emerson’s incisiveness is the sort of truth telling that centaurs find attractive. He famously wrote: “Live to the real future by living to the real present.” In other words: Commonsense is your best guide in April. Plant your feet in the ground of facts and then you can move towards your new goals with grace and certainty. Remember: Organization of data is key this month. Lucky Days: 2-24 Lucky Numbers 17-33 CAPRICORN: Dec. 22-Jan. 20: The project you’ve been dutifully nurturing is about ready to conclude. And you can feel the call of freedom egging you forward. The mid-month Full Moon offers you some key insights as to promotion and networking for your new project. Consider all options and don’t dismiss what seems impractical; sometimes the craziest idea is actually the most realistic. Imagine that! Lucky Days: 3-13 Lucky Numbers: 18-34 AQUARIUS: Jan. 21-Feb. 19: Try to adjust your notions about what makes you happy. Put yourself into someone else’s position and attempt to see things through his or her eyes. Open yourself to the unknown and you’ll discover new ways of expressing yourself that will surprise you. But first you need to work on flexibility. Again, the key is imagining how those closest to you experience your presence in their lives. Lucky Days: 3-39 Lucky Numbers: 2-48 PISCES: Feb. 20-Mar. 20: Those lucky breaks you’ve imagined are ready to arrive on the 11th when the Full Moon illuminates your house of secret allies. But you’ll need to do some research and networking to reconnect with those who can assist. It’s time to call in some favors. The more certainty you bring to your request the quicker results will manifest.

Both the ALS Society and the Community Gaming and Entertainment Group are listed as plaintiffs in the suit against Windsor. In the suit against Tecumseh, the hockey association is listed as a plaintiff alongside the Essex County Dancers Incorporated as well as the Community Gaming and Entertainment Group. The groups are seeking compensation for every organization that paid license fees for Bingo and charitable gaming events dating back to 1993. Every charitable organization that paid the fees is automatically included in the lawsuit unless they specifically opt out, according to a joint news release issued by the two mayors. Historical Bingo This winter, Estes Park Museum in Colorado hosted a special Bingo event as a way of sharing more about the rich history of Estes Park in a fun way, while giving participants an opportunity to win prizes in the process. The Bingo game was for all ages and no prior knowledge of local history was necessary to participate. The event was free of charge and snacks and refreshments were provided. Estes Park Museum conducts activities that preserve, share and respect the unique history of Estes Park. Hospice Bingo Event SouthernCare Hospice hosted a special Bingo for individuals participating in the Richland Walks Program at Richland Mall in Springfiled Township, Ohio. The group gathered in the food court to enjoy a lively session of Bingo and to get heart-healthy tips. “We do a monthly Bingo the second Tuesday of each month from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. to benefit local seniors,” said SouthernCare Hospice Community Relations Specialist Sarah Heintz. The Bingo serves as an opportunity for seniors to engage and stay motivated as part of the Richland Walks Program.

(414) 327-0705 Page 30; Bingo Bugle (Los Angeles County) April 2016 The online Daily Caller headline was a bit of a shock: “Only VA Job Reserved Specifically For Vets: Janitor.” But that was only the tip of the iceberg. Additional investigative articles from the Daily Caller News Foundation [dailycaller.com] had even more disturbing facts. The site has a comprehensive interactive chart that shows the number of veterans versus non-veterans in 300 managerial positions. The number of veterans out of that 300: 50. Here are a few examples of executive positions: Albany, NY: 19 non-veterans, 2 veterans Bedford, MA: 21 non-veterans, 8 veterans Glendale, CO: 5 non-veterans, 0 veterans Bronx, NY: 13 non-veterans, 1 veteran Of the officials who run Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers (with titles like associate director, nurse executive and chief of staff), only 13 percent are veterans. And why is this allowed to happen? Because VA employees have a union. The union agreement that says that any job will go first to any qualified candidate within the facility. And then there are the hiring categories. One hefty position for coordinator is open only to in-house employees. Lower-paying jobs, involving peer support, are open to veterans, but only if they’ve already been certified by the government for the position. Never mind, apparently, the preference points that veterans get when applying for any government job. Wandering through the job listings at usajobs.gov is an eye-opener when it comes to being a veteran trying to get a job at the VA. Some say that foreign citizens can be hired if no qualified American can be found. Many are open only to current employees of the VA. So where does the janitor come in? The Daily Caller was right. Use only “veterans preference” as your one search parameter, and you get a long list of janitors. They call it “housekeeping aide.” © King Features Better health this spring ■ With your favorite activity With the long winter months’ end in sight and the renewal of spring approaching, you are probably thinking of springcleaning, spring planting and all the outdoor activities that you have not been able to do over the past months. Springtime is an opportunity to focus not only on planting a garden but also seeds of better health. The Weight-control Information Network (WIN), a service of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, encourages you to think about your health. To help you improve your health this spring, WIN offers the following ideas: • Aim for 30 minutes of physical activity (at moderate intensity) each day. This can be as simple as brisk walking. You can walk with a friend or even walk the dog. (If you don’t have a dog, you can offer to walk the neighbor’s dog.) If you don’t have 30 minutes all at one time, break it up into 10- minute bouts, three times a day. • Physical activity does not have to be expensive or routine. Many activities are free or low cost, such as enjoying the scenery at the park or checking out a fitness video or DVD from the library. By changing up your activities each day, you can find fun activities that are different and exciting. • Make chores fun by putting some energy into them. Washing the car, planting seeds and bulbs, sweeping floors, raking leaves, and other chores all count as ways to be active.
