I call her that because she always tells me how much her husband and she enjoy my column. That’s such an ego boost; the same as when I get an email out of the blue, but yet better because we’re face to face. I’ve been writing this column for a very long time and I hope I’ve provided some insight, a laugh or two, and a few times when you read it and ask, “Really?” Or maybe, “How many margaritas did she have while writing that? Bingo has changed a lot over the years, but a few things remain constant. One of those is the friendships and camaraderie that develop among Bingo players. Since some of us tend to sit in the same seats week after week, we become friends with those around us. We share sweet treats brought from home and root each other to victory when we’re set/on to win a game. Another constant is the welcoming attitude to strangers who come to play at a new game. Other regular players do not hesitate to help the new- comer get started by explaining the games, giving directions to the bathroom, and in general being helpful. At least that’s the way it is at the Bingo halls I frequent. Sure, there’s a rotten apple player once in a while who snarls and growls when someone else wins a game, but for the most part, that is the exception to the rule. One of those exceptions happened to my close friends who tend to win frequently at Bingo. When the wife hollered Bingo several times at one session, another player got increasingly vocal. After yet another win, the irate loser lost it completely. He jumped up, threw his cards on the table, and stomped out of the Bingo hall. My friends laughed about the incident, but what the heck? Don’t we all buy in and expect to win? What did the sour grapes person want my friend to do? Should she have sat quietly and not played her cards? Should she have been the one to leave the hall because she’d won her quota? I don’t think so! I changed a couple of details in this story because a long time ago I related a humorous incident that happened at Bingo and one of the people involved got really angry with me even though no names had been mentioned. I never want to offend anyone, so if I have in any way over the years, forgive me. I was probably under the influence of one too many margaritas because it was Drink a Margarita Day; an event which occurs several times a month in Nancy’s world. Until next month, may Lady Luck blow you kisses as you dance out the door with dollars. Win big, as my number one fan did this spring. Congrats to Carolyn. I’m ready to go to lunch on you whenever you have the time. The rest of you can email me to share your Bingo stories at [email protected]. If I share your story in As I See It, I promise to change a few details to protect the guilty. GRAND AVE. DI AM O ND PATHFINDER RD. BL .

Section .........................22 The Kitchen Diva............................27 Fourth of July festivities We decided to throw a sparkling 4th of July party only to discover to our dismay that our favorite Bingo Palace was also throwing a party and advertising two new never before played games. It was a dilemma. So we decided to invite all our guests to come to play Bingo and go to our house afterwards for a late dinner and to watch the many fireworks you can see from our deck. It turned out to be a great idea. There were eleven of us at two tables playing Bingo, the odd number occurring because Bruce lost his wife to cancer a few months ago and was aching for something to ease his loneliness. He was more cheerful than I expected and at one point was the life of the party. I found myself very eager to try the new games and impatient to get started. Our tables were in the center of the room and of the action as we laughed and called out to one another. Someone in our group won right off and that caused more laughter and good feeling. Soon we came to the first new game. It was called the “naked X” and it was the big X with two corners missing. It was a delight to play, but none of our group won. At the break we had to discourage everyone from eating, as we would soon have dinner. We had decided on ham salad, cold cuts, potato salad, cheese, finger greens, and a variety of breads to be followed by Kate’s special Flaming Dessert—which was Oreos, ice cream, strawberries and mountains of whipped cream. “Anybody who wants to know where the ‘flaming’ comes from can have a candle,” pronounced Kate. The second new game was one called four corners plus a little square which is particularly difficult to keep track of and almost amounts to a blackout. Bruce won this one, much to everyone’s delight as it encouraged him to loosen up and have fun. His face was red as he pronounced he was really enjoying himself after several months of depression. Soon we left the Bingo Palace and traveled to our house for dinner, where once again we found Bruce to be the center of things. He balanced a hugely loaded plate and said, “I am having my first full meal in ages.” “Did you leave anything for the rest of us?” one wag inquired. “Are we all supposed to eat off your plate?” asked another. “Get out,” said Bruce happily, wandering away to find a place to sit. When the fireworks started we were all well fed and comfortable in deck chairs, of which we had exactly the right number. Bruce decided to be the cheerleader for the ‘Oos’ and ‘Aahs’ that followed every beautiful display. He made huge noises and got everyone laughing at his antics. “Doesn’t it seem fireworks have gotten far more complicated and wonderful from when I was a kid?” he asked ingenuously, “They certainly have,” Kate chimed in. “When I was a kid, all we had were bottle rockets and loud bangs.” “Oh, come on,” I added. “We had a town display. Remember sitting in the bleachers and watching?” “Yes, I do,” she replied. “But it’s not like having them on the water. I think the water makes it all just glorious.” ...If all the salt in the world’s oceans were removed and spread out, it would cover all the world’s land in a layer 40 feet deep. …Researchers using standard statistical methods have determined that it takes an average of 142 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. …If you’re planning to wrap a mummy in the proper Egyptian manner, you’ll need about 500 feet of linen to finish the job. …In the 1960s, American spies in the Soviet Union had a novel way to eavesdrop on conversations: They used cats. The CIA agents placed listening devices on the felines in order to hear conversations that might take place on a park bench or near an open window. …Actors Kevin Spacey and Val Kilmer were classmates in high school. …According to the World Health Organization, the United States ranks 48th in the world in alcohol consumption per capita, with the average adult drinking the equivalent of nearly 2.5 gallons of pure, undiluted alcohol per year. You might be surprised to learn that Russia didn’t top the list; Moldova and Lithuania beat out the Russians, and Belarus scored the world’s biggest drinkers, with the average adult consuming a whopping 4.6 gallons annually. © King Features The BINGO BUGLE $100 MONTHLY GIVEAWAY!

They get especially upset when someone wins who is related to someone who works at the Bingo hall— even if it is a relation as distant as a worker’s wife’s cousin’s daughter’s best friend. I think it is crazy that these people are so determined to spoil Bingo for themselves by being suspicious of anything and anyone connected with it. (Frankly, I’m not quite sure why they go to Bingo at all if it upsets them so much.) My worry is that if they keep up with these complaints they will make other people upset with Bingo and decide not to play. (This would be a real mess because as it is we have lost a number of games due to fewer people playing, and no one wants to lose anymore.) I had the idea that it might quiet these people down if someone was able to challenge them and tell them that if they think the games are so bad, why don’t they contact the Bingo inspector and file a complaint. I have no idea what the process is, but it seems to me that an authority like that would help them realize that griping that “Mary S. wins too much” is trivial and unnecessary. Can you tell me what someone does to file a complaint about a Bingo game? Is it a big deal or a complicated process? Thanks for your input. —E.M., Ohio, via email Hi E.M., I’m not quite sure how giving people information about filing a complaint about a Bingo hall is going to help your cause, but here it is nonetheless. Filing a complaint is generally the same in most states, the only difference being where to direct the complaint, because Bingo is regulated by different entities depending on the state where the Bingo operates. The easiest way to get started is to go online and search under “Bingo Complaint (State Name). This will identify the agency to which you would direct a complaint.

Typically, there are three ways to file a complaint. The web site of the investigating office will have an online form you can fill out and submit, there will be a phone number you can call with your complaint, or you can mail in a letter, or fill out and mail a form which also may be found on the web site. Keep in mind that these are very busy offices that do not have time to investigate gossip like certain players winning too much. It is also unlikely that they would investigate anonymous complaints: If a person isn’t willing to put his or her name to whatever allegation is being made, how serious could it be? It is extremely important to remember that lodging a complaint like this is serious business: You are basically accusing a nonprofit of wrongdoing and requesting that an investigation take place. This move could also backfire and cause the very thing you are trying to avoid—losing another Bingo hall. After all, if I was a Bingo manager who had done nothing wrong, yet found that players had filed a complaint with authorities against my games, I would certainly consider closing up shop and finding a better way to generate dollars for charity. —Guy Hey guys!

I usually do a Google search on a symptom, drug or health condition when I want to research something, but with so much information out there I’m not sure what I can trust. Untrusting Senior Dear Untrusting, You’re wise not to believe everything you read, especially when it comes to health and medical information on the World Wide Web. To help you sort through the online clutter and locate reliable, trustworthy medical information, here are a few tips to follow, along with some top-rated sites you can always turn to with confidence. How to Verify As a general rule, health and medical information websites sponsored by the U.S. government, not-for-profit health or medical organizations, and university medical centers are the most reliable resources on the Internet. While sites supported by for-profit companies, such as drug or insurance companies who may be trying to sell you their products, are usually not your best option. To find out who’s sponsoring a site and where the information came from, click on the “About Us” tab on the site’s home page. Also look for the red and blue “HONcode” seal at the bottom of each page, which means the site has credible information and is certified by the Health On the Net Foundation. However, government sponsored health sites don’t have the seal. Also be aware that good health and medical information changes all the time so check the date that information was published to make sure it’s current. And, if you’re doing research online before seeing a doctor, print your findings out on paper, including the site you got your information from, so you can review it together. Top Health Sites While there are dozens of great websites that provide reliable, trustworthy, unbiased health and medical information, here are two of the best all-purpose sites that are easy to use. Medlineplus.gov: Sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and managed by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, MedlinePlus provides information on more than 900 diseases and conditions in their “Health Topics” section, and links to other trusted resources. It also provides a directory of hospitals, clinics and healthcare providers, a medical encyclopedia and medical dictionary, tutorials on common conditions, tests, and treatments, extensive information on prescription drugs, supplements and herbs, and links to thousands of clinical trials. It even offers a senior specific health site (nihseniorhealth.gov) that makes age-related health information easier to get. MayoClinic.com: Owned by the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, this site is produced by more than 3,300 physicians, scientists and researchers from Mayo Clinic, and provides in-depth, easy-to-understand information on hundreds of diseases and conditions, drugs and supplements, tests and procedures. It also offers a nifty “Symptom Checker” tool and “First-Aid Guide” for fast answers to all types of health conditions, along with medical blogs, expert answers, videos and links to additional resources. Disease Specific Sites There are also dozens of other sites dedicated to specific diseases and conditions. Here are some top-rated sites as listed by the Medical Library Association on cancer, heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. Cancer: American Cancer Society (cancer.org), National Cancer Institute (cancer.gov), Association of Cancer Online Resources (acor.org) and Cancer Care (cancercare.org). Heart disease: American Heart Association (americanheart.org), National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (www.nhlbi.nih.gov) and Congenital Heart Information Network (tchin.org). Diabetes: American Diabetes Association (diabetes.org), National Diabetes Education Program (ndep.nih.gov), Joslin Diabetes Center (www.joslin.harvard.edu), and Diabetes Monitor (diabetesmonitor.com). Alzheimer’s disease: Alzheimer’s Association (alz.org), Fisher Center for Alzheimer’s Research Foundation (alzinfo.org), and Alzheimers.gov. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Don’t believe it’s possible to do this? Keep reading and I’ll show you how easy it is. Let’s assume that two twin brothers, Jack and Joe, in their long lifetime of gambling, will each play 10,000 hands of blackjack per year, for 50 years (assuming 100 hands per hour, and 100 hours of blackjack per year). Their average bet will be a modest $10 per hand, playing a typical six-deck blackjack game where the dealer stands on soft 17, and double down after pair splitting is allowed. In all, they will each wager $5 million. Jack never bothers to learn the basic playing strategy, so he plays by intuition. Over his lifetime, Jack is expected to lose about $100,000 at the blackjack tables, assuming a disadvantage of about 2%. Jack’s twin brother, Joe, takes a different course of action. He spends a little time and learns the basic playing strategy. He also brings along a basic strategy card when he plays, so if he is not sure how to play a hand, he glances at his card for guidance. By playing basic strategy perfectly, Joe expects to lose about $20,000 over his lifetime, assuming a disadvantage of 0.4%. Compared to his twin brother, Jack, Joe saved $80,000. If I paid you $80,000 to learn basic strategy, would you do it? Of course, you would. And that’s exactly my point; namely, memorizing the basic playing strategy has real value over your lifetime of playing blackjack. Many of you reading this article think that you know the basic strategy. Then tell me how you would play these hands. (Assume a six-deck game, dealer stands on soft 17, and doubling after pair splitting is allowed.) Q-2 vs 3 6-5 vs A A-3 vs 3 Post-traumatic stress disorder can be a mystery to those who try to help and a nightmare for veterans who have it. Sometimes it takes a film to show the reality so both sides can understand. Soledad O’Brien Presents: The War Comes Home—The New Battlefront is a film that follows two veterans on the edge of suicide as they attend a life-changing boot camp. Healing, meditation and teambuilding exercises are part of the treatment over the course of five days, with cameras recording their recovery. Who should see this film? Everyone, including health-care professionals who work with veterans with PTSD, veterans who have PTSD and need a way to explain it to friends and family, those friends and family who want to help but don’t know how, any veterans who might have buddies who are suicidal, law enforcement, policymakers, those who work with the homeless, civilians who want to understand it…everyone. © King Features A-7 vs 2 9-9 vs 9 8-8 vs 10 Next question: Suppose the rules specify that the rules specify that the dealer must hit soft 17. Would you play any of the above hands differently? If so, which ones? Here’s the correct way to play the above hands. Answers 1. Hit 2. Hit 3. Hit 4. Hit 5. Split 6. Split If the dealer hits soft 17, you should change your strategy on hand #2 (double down on 6-5 against Ace), and hand #4 (double down on A-7 against 2). So how did you do? If you missed a few hands, I’d highly recommend you bone-up on your basic playing strategy before risking any money in a casino.

Fact: Many new LASIK technologies and techniques have been introduced over the past two decades, many in just the past few years, that have improved the safety and visual results achieved for people choosing LASIK. As a result, today, LASIK has a 96 percent patient satisfaction rate. Myth: You can’t have LASIK if you have astigmatism. Fact: LASIK is approved to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Advancements in LASIK make it possible for more people with different kinds of vision prescriptions to be treated than ever before. GREAT PLAYING ODDS!

Saints Bingo Saturday Nights Myth: Everyone who wants LASIK can have it done. Fact: Not everyone is a good candidate for LASIK. If your corneas are too thin or irregular, or if you have certain eye or health diseases, LASIK may not be right for you. A qualified ophthalmologist specializing in refractive surgery can evaluate your vision and health to help determine if you are a good candidate for LASIK. Myth: You can cut the cost of LASIK by shopping around for a special deal. Fact: It’s true that many LASIK centers advertise special deals, but when it comes to your vision, you want what’s best for your eyes, not your wallet. Bargain-priced vision correction may not include the level of care you want or use the latest technologies. Look for an experienced, highly qualified surgeon who works with the most advanced LASIK technologies available today. One deal you can feel good about: Many refractive surgeons offer free LASIK consultations.

OF MON TH ALL U CAN PLAY $30 REGULAR SERI ES ONLY Dinner and Bingo ■ The sweetest day ever Dear Aunt Bingo, My kids treated me to the nicest Mother’s Day surprise this year: dinner and Bingo. And the best part was that they didn’t simply give me a gift card to a casino and wish me a nice time, they actually took me out to dinner at a very nice restaurant I love, and then went with me to Bingo and played Bingo with me! This is something that never, ever happens. All three of my daughters think Bingo is “lame” and, although I have repeatedly invited them to play Bingo with me individually and together, not one of them has ever taken me up on the invitation. You must understand that I have been going to weekly Bingo for their entire lives. They even turned my Bingo playing into a running joke between them. If one of them had a difficult test in school or some other challenging task they had to perform, inevitably one of them would console the other by saying: “Well, at least it’s not Bingo!” When my Mother’s Day Bingo night finally came, I was quite impressed that there were absolutely no Bingo jokes the entire evening. After a pleasant dinner filled with lots of laughs and the retelling of many old family stories, the girls and I jumped into the car and drove to a highstakes Indian Bingo not far from where we live. I had assumed we would be going to one of the local charity Bingos and so was very excited to see the casino, where I rarely play and had not been to in a very long time. It was a weeknight and not too terribly busy, so we were able to get seats at our own table and continue our chatting without upsetting “the neighbors.” It was a two-session night that moved along fairly quickly, and I was amused watching my girls giggling and trying to keep up. As I suspected would happen, after the second or third close call, the girls stopped their joking around and began getting quite serious about wanting to win. When my youngest missed out on a $500 double Bingo by literally one digit Ashley Jordan - $195 In & Out Bingo - Granada Hills Tue., Wed. & Thu. Evenings (she needed 71 and they called 72), I thought she might require a tranquilizer. When a man two tables from ours won $1,000, her eyes almost popped out of her head as she watched the runner count out his winnings. As luck usually has it, the second session ended without any of us getting a Bingo, and I could see that my daughters were clearly disappointed. I assumed the disappointment came from their Mother’s Day treat being spoiled by Mom not winning Bingo. That quickly changed during the drive home when they began commiserating between themselves about how close each of them had come to winning several jackpots. We decided to stop for donuts and coffee before calling it a night. The Bingo discussion continued, and I was mildly stunned when all three of them hinted at possibly going back to Bingo another time and trying again. I just smiled and nodded, thinking back to all the jokes about Mom’s Bingo and how lame it was. We went again the following week. — Lil B., California, via email Dear Lil, What an absolutely adorable story. The one question I was left wondering is how old your daughters are. Although whether they are teens, young adults or middleaged women, it does little to change the charm of your tale. Bingo is a wonderful Mother’s Day gift: More Moms should consider asking the kids to take them to Bingo on their special day. What better way is there to be out of the house with loved ones sitting at a table enjoying each other’s company and playing a game together? Plus, if someone were to win, what a great new story to add to the family repertoire! I hope your long-awaited Bingo outing becomes a new family tradition. —Aunt Bingo Share your views!

BELLFLOWER TRIPLE TRIPLE GAME FREE LITTLE CAESAR’S PIZZA FREE ROLLOVER JACKPOT! G 1st Week of Every Month Book adaptation ■ A new HBO series Q: Can you tell me when Rizzoli and Isles will be back? And is it true that this is the show’s final season? —Peter F., via email A: This seventh season of Rizzoli and Isles is indeed the crime-solving duos’ last hurrah. TNT’s hit comedy-drama returns with its final 13 episodes on Monday, June 6, at 9/8c. Q: I loved Gone Girl, both the book and the movie. Are there any more of Gillian Flynn’s books in the running for a movie adaptation? —Ellie W., via email A: I also loved Gone Girl; it’s really difficult for me to find a movie adaptation that I like and that I feel does the book justice, but this one definitely did for me. Charlize Theron starred in the movie adaptation of Dark Places, which came out in 2015 and is now available on DVD and streaming. HBO also just announced that Sharp Objects will be adapted into an eight-episode original series and will star Amy Adams. For me, this is the best way to adapt a book because you can cover a lot more of the book’s ground that you can with a movie. A Healthier Burger Grilling is a rite of passage during warmer months, with hamburgers arguably being Americans’ favorite food to grill. However, hamburgers are often high in calories and fat. How do you make this American staple healthier? Try seafood, which is low in fat and calories and filled with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Because of seafood’s many benefits, the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends people should eat at least 8 ounces a week. Substituting seafood, such as tuna, for the protein a recipe calls for is an easy way to make any meal healthier. Try this great-tasting and healthy hamburger alternative. For more healthy seafood recipes, visit www.ChickenoftheSea.com. Cajun Tuna Burgers (Serves 6) 2 1 2 1/2 1/4 1 6 (12-oz) cans Chicken of the Sea Chunk Light Tuna in Water, drained cup breadcrumbs eggs, beaten cup each: diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper and green onions cup Cajun seasoning tsp hot pepper sauce whole-wheat hamburger buns In a bowl, combine tuna, breadcrumbs and eggs. Add the next 5 ingredients and mix. Divide and shape tuna mixture into 6 patties. On a grill, cook tuna burgers using a grill-friendly pan until browned and heated through. Or, use a nonstick skillet on the stove. Place each burger on a bun and top with condiments and vegetables. dreams. You are still getting out and playing Bingo regularly (and not getting lost), so do not worry about your dreams. You are a great role model for those of us who are “only” in our seventies! Keep on playing! —Dream Lady Dear Dream Lady, I have had unsettling dreams lately and don’t know what to make of them. I have been dreaming of being in a very large, well-lit house, but it is full of scampering mice! I am a very clean person and even though I live in a small trailer, I keep it spotlessly clean. These dreams are upsetting me. Should I be worried? Esther R., Long Beach, California Dear Esther, To dream of mice foretells discord among your friends and/or family and social embarrassment. This makes sense when you think that mice proliferate in unsanitary conditions. The good symbol is your home in your dream – it is large and full of light which means you are open about your thoughts and feelings. Your dream is giving you a word of caution – maybe your openness leaves you vulnerable to others’ unkind acts? Be alert for discord, but it sounds like you are skilled at smoothing things over so I predict your “mouse” dreams will go away soon. — Dream Lady Lost Dreams Dear Dream Lady, My dreams are always that I am lost. I go into a building and come out, and then I walk for blocks to find my street. Or I am on a bus and I get off and I cannot find my block and I walk for blocks and blocks until I wake up. I have these dreams often, about once a month. I am a 50-year Bingo player and enjoy it so much. I read the Bingo Bugle all the time and enjoy your column; there are times I don’t get it because they run out. I am enclosing an SASE in case I don’t get the Bingo Bugle this month. I am 93 years old. C. Therese T., Chicago, Illinois READERS: Please mail your dreams to Dream Lady, P.O. Box 414, Entiat, WA 98822. Include an SASE for an answer before publication. Not all dreams are published. Dear Therese, First, congratulations on two counts— that you are 93 and that you are a 50-year Bingo player! Wow! Your dreams of being lost are common because it reflects your real fears of being lost in real life. It sounds like you are only lost in your Bon Voyage Paul Groves Night Paul was a volunteer for 31 years and a Science Teacher for 37 S.

A lucky Los Angeles lady is now $1,058,333.33 richer thanks to a bit of stubbornness during a recent trip to Pechanga Resort & Casino. The winner, wishing to remain unidentified, scored the huge progressive jackpot at 8:00p.m. Sunday, June 12 on a $1.00 Golden Pagodas Gold Series slot machine by Rocket Gaming Systems. She said she had $80 in the machine and had played for about 30 minutes before striking the windfall. Her son and his fiancé had wanted to leave the resort/casino some time earlier, though mom opted to keep playing. She found her diligence rewarded as the 12th person to hit more than $1 million at Pechanga Resort & Casino. Sunday, June 14th’s million dollar jackpot marks the 12th more-thanone-million-dollar win at Pechanga Resort & Casino.

Bugle Cruise News ■ A livelier and better bingo cruise! By Jeffrey Charboneau Special to the Bingo Bugle As a person with special needs who values her independence, Adrian BanksJones of Aberdeen, Maryland, has found cruise vacationing to be an ideal travel option. “I can’t walk long distances or stand for long periods of time, so I use a (power mobility) scooter to get around,” she explains. “I book a room that’s accessible and use the elevators that have less traffic and fit my scooter. Once I’m organized, I can get around the ship very easily.” To date, Adrian has been on eight cruise vacations, including one with Carnival Cruise Lines as a participant in last year’s World Championship Bingo Tournament & Gaming Cruise. “It was a great experience,” says Adrian, who will be returning this year to play in the 2016 Bingo Tournament. “I had been on one other Bingo cruise with a different company, but didn’t like it nearly as much. This cruise was livelier, the Bingo setting was better, and the activities they offered were way better.” Aside from the Bingo Tournament and testing her luck in the ship’s casino, Adrian’s favorite activity was exploring the many dining options the host ship offered. “I loved the food,” she says. “I could go to a buffet, have a quick salad, or go for an early evening of fine dining— whatever I felt like.” On one culinary excursion, Adrian took in the ship’s Italian restaurant. “They had meatballs that knocked the socks right off your feet!” she recalls. Another night she visited the ship’s steakhouse, and also enjoyed eating in the main dining room. And she was not about to let room service go untested. “Believe it or not, the PB&J was the best I ever had,” she says. “Even the pretzels and chips were something special.” Adrian also spent her cruise watching movies, touring the ship and occasionally taking in a show. “I had my trusty map and each night would branch out and go to a different spot on the ship,” she says. “It is absolutely impossible to get bored on a cruise. If you do, well, there’s something wrong with you!” Setting sail from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on November 12, the 28th Annual World Championship Bingo Tournament & Gaming Cruise will explore the eastern Caribbean with stops at the beautiful island destinations of St. Maarten, St. Kitts, San Juan and Grand Turk. Between ports, travelers will compete for tens of thousands of dollars in cash prizes in Bingo and other gaming tournaments. The World Championship Bingo Tournament & Gaming Cruise remains one of the best vacations on the high seas. Come experience it for yourself and see why vacationers like Adrian return again and again.

Meat Loaf ■ A Southern version of a classic Dear Annie, Many years ago my parents and I stayed at a bed and breakfast in Savannah, Georgia. They served a wonderful meat loaf. It was absolutely delicious and I would like to surprise my parents and make it for them. Can you suggest some Southern versions of meat loaf that might taste like the one they served us? Thanks. Tara Sue from Vermont Dear Tara Sue, Obviously your parents must have some ties to the South, naming you Tara. That’s a very pretty name. Back to your question, I have many cookbooks from the South.

Cool Cucumbers Cucumbers are a go-to vegetable for salads, but there are many ways to incorporate this cool, crunchy vegetable into everything from appetizers to drinks. Cucumbers are one of the oldest cultivated crops and have more than 100 different varieties. It’s believed they were first cultivated in India. Cucumbers are at their best when young and tender with a crunchy texture. They come in many sizes. Some of the most popular varieties are the Dosakayi, popular in India for curries and stews; crunchy “slicers,” used in salads; and pickles like gherkins, dills and sweet French cornichons. The English cucumber is longer and narrower than the slicer varieties. Its seeds are much smaller and the skin is thinner. This type of cucumber may be labeled as “seedless” or “burpless.” It usually comes wrapped in plastic and unwaxed. The taste of English cucumbers also is less bitter, and some find it almost sweet. Cucumbers have about 15 calories per 100 grams, and the peel is a good source of dietary fiber and is a mild diuretic, which helps to eliminate toxic materials in the gut. It’s also a great source of potassium and is low in sodium, which helps with blood pressure and heart rates. Cucumbers are high in vitamin K, which helps with bone strength. It also has established a role in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease by limiting neuronal damage in the brain. When purchasing cucumbers, select ones that have a firm texture and a brightgreen color. There shouldn’t be any spots, cuts or breaks in the skin. A wrinkled, large or yellowish cucumber means it is over ripe, lacking nutrients and tough. Before using or storing, cucumbers should be washed using cool, clear water and dried thoroughly to get rid of any surface dirt and pesticide residue. They may require light scrub at spots where prickles or dirt is evident Cucumbers can be stored at room tem- 1 Grand prize: 6-day 5-night Walt Disney World Honeymoon package in Orlando for two with a $500 Disney gift card—does NOT include airfare ($4,000).

You can use cucumbers in a variety of ways. Fresh, cleaned cucumbers can be enjoyed as they are. You also can cut cucumbers into cubes with the skin and add them to vegetable or fruit salads. Finely chopped, fresh cucumber slices are delicious when mixed with yogurt, cumin, coriander, pepper and salt to make cucumber raita, the popular Indian condiment that adds a cooling effect to spicy dishes. English cucumbers are great eaten skin and all, but with some other varieties you may want to peel them first (especially ones with thick skins). If you’re making a salad with seeded or slicer cucumbers, cut them lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Cucumbers also can be blended into a juice and combined with other vegetables and fruits, like my recipe for Strawberry Cucumber Lime Coolers. It’s the perfect way to cool off with cucumbers on a hot summer day! STRAWBERRY CUCUMBER LIME COOLER 3 to 4 large peeled, cubed English cucumbers (3/4 pound) 2 cups frozen strawberries 2/3 cups sugar, honey or agave syrup 1/2 cup fresh lime juice 4 cups cold water or clear soda water, unflavored seltzer or sparkling water 1.

Also planned is a mile-long boardwalk, more convention space, and a nightly fireworks show. Paradise Park is projected to be completed in 2020. A nameless resort on Fremont Street Derek and Greg Stevens, owners of the D and Golden Gate, have purchased the downtown slot houses Mermaids and La Bayou, along with the Girls of Glitter Gulch topless club, with an eye toward building a new casino on Fremont Street. Still in the early planning stages, there are no details or even a name yet for the new resort. And while it might be assumed that the shuttered Las Vegas Club, also owned by the Stevens’, would be the anchor for the plan, the brothers say no, indicating that they’ll build the new resort from the ground up. La Bayou is located on the opposite side of the commons from the other acquisitions, possibly pointing to an expansion of the Golden Gate. Mermaids, La Bayou, and the Girls of Glitter Gulch will all close on June 27. Almost a year after its closing, a timetable has finally been released for the razing of the Riviera. Following a preliminary manual demolition of the lower-rise buildings (via bulldozers and a wrecking ball), the Monte Carlo and Monaco hotel towers will be knocked down in separate implosions. The first was in June, followed by a second in August, though the exact date haven’t been announced. The two-part exit is required because of the sprawling nature of the resort. The cleared space will be used to host outdoor events until building begins on an extension of the Convention Center that will reach out to the Strip. The price tag for the demolition is being reported at $42 million. Of course, this all assumes that it happens at all. In a funky twist, a petition has been filed by a local college student to block the demolition of the Riviera. Ostensibly precipitated by a desire to preserve the “historic” site, the petition would need to gather more than 50,000 signatures by July 1 in order to move to the next stage and at least delay the demolition. Paradise Park Project Neon Steve Wynn has announced plans to build a $1.5 billion “lake resort” behind Wynn Las Vegas and Encore on land that used to be the Desert Inn golf course. Tentatively dubbed Paradise Park, the casino resort will feature a 1,000-room tower and a 38-acre lagoon that will accommodate real water skiing, paddle boarding, and parasailing, and be surrounded by white- The Nevada Department of Transportation is set to begin work on “Project Neon,” a $1 billion overhaul of the I-15 roadway snarl near downtown known as the “Spaghetti Bowl.” While the finished project is expected to reduce travel delays by 28%, there’ll be a price to pay in associated traffic disruptions until its conclusion in 2019. ■ The Stevens brothers are in the early stages of planning Slot Houses Purchased Riviera Timetable Page 27; Bingo Bugle (Los Angeles County) July 2016 moting yourself to as many individuals as you can.

Once you’ve made your mind up, and that’s usually quickly, you’re off to the racetrack. Although this is a good month to slow down a wee bit and allow your inner guidance to provide you with different options. This will make your final destination, once there, the right one. Lucky Days: 3-19 Lucky Numbers: 16-51 TAURUS: Apr. 21-May 21: The full moon on the 19th brings you an opportunity to rethink and remake your basic assumptions about life. In other words it’s time to embrace a new attitude that will take you through the rest of the year with enthusiasm and pluck. Take on a beautifying project, the world can always use more beauty, and you’re its ambassador. Lucky Days: 19-21 Lucky Numbers: 23-40 GEMINI: May 22-June 21: I know you’re not big on the tiny details of life, especially where money is concerned – you’d rather be out socializing. But July is the month to focus on finances and work on a plan that will commit you to increasing your cash flow. Here’s a clue from Suze Orman: “The key to making money is to stay invested.” She means investing in you! Lucky Days: 3-27 Lucky Numbers: 19-41 CANCER: June 22-July 22: You’re a lighting rod for inspiration in July. Mid-month finds you channeling new ideas and making the right social contacts to advance on the job front. How to best navigate this wild influx? Remain open to the unknown and the untried. It’s the undiscovered country that’s calling out to you now. Don’t hesitate. Your instincts will guide the way. Lucky Days: 16-21 Lucky Numbers: 39-43 LEO: July 23-Aug. 23: Mercury and Venus put you in the negotiating spotlight this month. Use your natural command of authority to stay on point, but remember that you’ll need to bend here and there to keep the peace.

Keep a dream journal by your bed and track the insights and wisdom that come your way from the nocturnal world. Anatole France had this advice: “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream…” There’s no better time than now to discover this truth. Lucky Days: 8-15 Lucky Numbers: 21-59 SCORPIO: Oct. 24-Nov. 22: With Mars back in your sign you’ll want to rally patience to compliment the extra energy and drive that’s been building since June. You’re like a stallion that’s been corralled too long, and is ready to run free. But to where? The full moon on the 19th will illuminate this destination for you. Take advantage of your courage and jump the fence. Lucky Days: 13-26 Lucky Numbers 17-65 SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 23-Dec. 21: You’re never short of bright ideas and bubbling optimism, although with Saturn still moving through your star sign you’ll need to practice steady persistence to make your hopes and dreams come true. Don’t be frustrated with this condition—life has something wonderful in store for you, it’s just coming your way a little slower than you’d like. Lucky Days: 9-30 Lucky Numbers: 38-47 CAPRICORN: Dec. 22-Jan. 20: Conditions are rocking on the home front, symptomatic of your desire to break free from ruts or possibly relocate. Remember you don’t have to literally uproot your life right now, perhaps you’re ready to let go of habits (or relationships) that have outgrown their welcome. The full moon on the 19th offers you a way through. Pay attention. Lucky Days: 3-30 Lucky Numbers: 28-65 AQUARIUS: Jan. 21-Feb. 19: The lines of communication are clearing for you. Use this to your advantage. Settle any confusion between partners or family members. Remember, not everyone thinks in the same unique way as you. Some folks operate strictly by feelings, and this difference in style can sometimes annoy you. Walk a mile in someone else’s shoes. You’ll go far. Lucky Days: 14-26 Lucky Numbers: 22-66 PISCES: Feb. 20-Mar. 20: Take to heart this wisdom from the poet Simone Weil, “If we go down into ourselves, we find that we possess exactly what we desire.” And so the question this month is: What activity will best support this kind of inner journeying? I’m guessing it will involve art, beauty, nature—all of the life experiences that make life, well, worth living. Don’t deny yourself.

As the game progressed, the words, their definitions, and other issues pertaining to sex and consent were discussed. Statistics show one in four Canadian women will be sexually assaulted in her lifetime. The rate of police-reported sexualized violence against women in the Yukon has been as much as 3.5 times higher than the national average. Bingo for Boobies Community members from Randolph County, Alabama, raised $12,000 for Tanner Medical Foundation’s Mammogram Assistance Fund at the first annual Bingo for Boobies in Wedowee. The Randolph Leader reported that funds were raised through local sponsorships, donations and T-shirt sales for the Bingo game. Bingo was held in two sessions at the Randolph County High School Auditorium and featured door prizes and activities for children. Tanner Medical Foundation’s Mammogram Assistance Fund helps with the cost of mammograms for area women who could not otherwise afford them. Annual mammograms can detect cancer early, when it is most treatable. In fact, it is possible for a mammogram to show changes in the breast up to two years before a change can be felt. Mammograms can also prevent the need for extensive treatment for advanced cancers and improve chances of breast conservation. Pink Ribbon Bingo Explores Women’s Health Issues This spring, RiverStone Health’s Montana Cancer Screening Program, in collaboration with community partners, hosted a free women’s Pink Ribbon Bingo night in Billings, Montana. The Bingo event was for local women and was limited to women ages 18 and older. The goal was to provide education about women’s health issues and resources available to help pay for cancer screenings. The free event featured presentations on healthy eating, diabetes, fitness, cancer prevention and early detection and healthy lifestyles. The evening, which included dinner and refreshments, provided an opportunity for women to socialize, win Bingo prizes and learn how to make a difference in their own health. Bingo Teaches Important Lessons in Sexual Assault Bang-O, a modified Bingo game about sex and consent, was presented by the Victoria Faulkner Women’s Centre and Les EssentiElles in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada, as part of Sexualized Assault Prevention Month. The Whitehorse Daily Star reported that the event was designed as a fun night to talk about a potentially awkward and uncomfortable topic. Preventing sexualized assaults starts with seeking consent and being comfortable talking about sex—which many are not. The event featured a trivia-type Bingo game during BINGO MANAGERS!

(414) 327-0705 Page 30; Bingo Bugle (Los Angeles County) July 2016 Finally! ■ Someone got the message! For the sixteen years I have been writing this column I have PLEADED with Bingo halls to change some of the words used in instructions and advertising. My biggest pet peeve has always been the use of the word “less” when grammar REQUIRES that the word “fewer” be used. It is very common to hear a Bingo caller announce that there will be a special prize for anyone who has a Bingo in “36 numbers or LESS.” I cringe when I hear that. I have, year after year, asked in this column why in heaven’s name callers don’t say FEWER. It’s not just a personal preference on my account. It’s a longstanding rule of the English language. If you can COUNT items, it’s FEWER. If you can’t count them, it’s LESS. For example. FEWER cans. LESS garbage. Recently, though, I had the chance to visit a Bingo hall where the managers Keith - Volunteer Santa Clarita Elks - Canyon Country Thu. Night & Sun. Afternoon have proudly followed my instructions. At the Rampart Casino in Las Vegas, Joanne Farwell has changed everything to reflect proper grammar. Not only do the callers talk about winning in X number of calls or FEWER, all the hall’s printed material, handouts and posted signs are now correct. Three cheers for the Rampart! I was first tipped off to this by a reader whom I had met some time ago at another Vegas hall. She told me that I would be surprised if I went to the Rampart Casino. I was about to make arrangements for another trip to Vegas, when Joanne wrote to tell me that she was performing a miracle at her place. So far as I know, that Casino is the only one I have been told about that has converted to proper English. I could not be more thrilled! It took a decade and a half of pleading, but it has paid off. Joanne, I am very proud of you and your staff. It is only fair at this point to assure you that I got no reward from the Rampart Casino. I paid for my own Bingo and my own soft drinks…and didn’t win anything. Just wanted you to know that my compliments are genuine. I try to be as honest in this column as I can. Now, I know that some of you reading this may think that I am too obsessed with grammar. I was a national journalist for much of my life and love words. I love Bingo. You know that. I want Bingo halls to be wonderful places. So, what’s wrong with a simple request to fix something that is so simple to fix. Next time: Letters to about MUMBLERS.
