By Bob Garver With an 85% on Rotten Tomatoes, “Jackass Forever” is more beloved than some of the movies that will soon be vying for Best Picture at the Oscars. What’s so special about this movie? It certainly isn’t that Johnny Knoxville and his crew are doing anything different with the “Jackass” template; the movie is a collection of stupid stunts as always, and there’s no story to tie them together like with Knoxville’s “Bad Grandpa” or “Action Point.” Could it be that the world desperately need some hearty laughs after the last two years? That could certainly be a factor. Heck, I desperately needed some laughs after the last two weeks, as I did not have fun at “Redeeming Love” and that pathetic mermaid movie. But I think that fans and critics alike are just so impressed that “Jackass” has been going for over 20 years. No longer can these guys be accused of debasing themselves for a fleeting taste of fame. They are engaging in a full-blown way of life, and they’re tasting… I think a taser is the most publication-friendly thing that comes in contact with a human tongue in this movie. To be sure, these guys still do not practice socially-acceptable ways of garnering attention. They do dangerous stunts, allow themselves to get bitten and stung by all manner of animal, and pull sick pranks on one another. New to this installment is a form of psychological torture, where participants are placed in a room with a venomous snake and then the lights are turned out. The poor marks have to find their way to the door, occasionally whacking their heads on low-hanging frying pans, getting their fingers caught in mousetraps, and encountering a rubber snake thought to be the venomous one. It’s actually one of the least-dangerous episodes in the movie, unless you count the high likelihood of a heart attack. It should be noted that many scenes in this movie involve the area… below the belt. The guys never miss an opportunity to hit one another below the belt, or at least show off the area below the belt. An early special-effects driven scene features a monster that looks suspiciously like the area below the belt. It is not unusual for movies buffs to jokingly compare kaiju to the area below the belt, but in this case they’d be absolutely right. A particularly wince-inducing sequence involves a person’s full body weight plus an additional object with a highly-concentrated point of contact being driven into the area below the belt on one of these saps. I have to say something about this movie that I don’t think I’ve ever had to say about a movie before, but it reaches a point of diminishing returns on the below-the-belt shots. Dare I say I was even bored with the constant below-the-belt trauma by the end of this slightly-overlong spectacle. Obviously, this geek-show stuff isn’t for everybody. I don’t blame you one bit if your idea of fun doesn’t include finding out what happens when the guys drink pitchers of brightly-colored milk and then get on a high-speed carousel (spoiler alert: it’s exactly what you think). But those in the target audience will appreciate the camaraderie and commitment of the “Jackass” crew. It’s oddly comforting to know that you can still come to these guys for a certain brand of craziness – or at least as comforting as watching multiple bungee wedgies can be. Grade: B- “Jackass Forever” is rated R for strong crude material and dangerous stunts, graphic nudity and language throughout. Its running time is 96 minutes. Contact Bob Garver at rrg251@nyu.edu.

Friends of the Bolton Library will meet at the Library on Tuesday, February 15 at 10 a.m.

By Kara Kimbrough For the first time in, well, forever, the Super Bowl has landed in the middle of Valentine’s Day weekend. It’s a given that many will choose to celebrate the day of love on the weekend prior to the actual day on which it falls this year…a less-than-romantic Monday. Despite Super Bowl LVI having the audacity to be played on Feb. 13, there are some ways to celebrate both with simple dishes that can be enjoyed all weekend long. First, every year a new Super Bowl food trend seems to sweep the interest and this year is no exception. Photos and videos of massive nacho tables began surfacing on TikTok and are now featured on hundreds of social media pages. The nacho table trend involves wrapping a large table with aluminum foil or butcher paper, then piling enormous quantities of tortilla chips, ground beef and other meats, salsa, cheese and jalapenos, along with other dipping sauces, as high as they can possibly go. While it’s fun to see new food trends, most of us are looking for something a little less time-consuming (and costly) for these two special occasions, especially a Valentine’s meal. Since Valentine's is near the weekend, a memorable meal on Friday or Saturday evening is more convenient. But who wants to spend all their time cooking when shortcut recipes result in the perfect Valentine’s meal? Even better, they can be doubled (or tripled, depending upon your crowd) and served again on Sunday. Everything, that is, except Super Bowl LVI nachos. They deserve their own rightful place on honor on Sunday. (If you'd like more Super Bowl or Valentine's Day recipes, drop me an email and I'll send them to you. Or, celebrate away from home with special restaurant and spa packages at Biloxi's Beau Rivage and additional dining promotions around the state. I'll share those with you as well.) Teriyaki Steaks for Two Marinate a thick cut of sirloin (or your favorite cut) steak for several hours in the refrigerator with: 1/2 bottle of teriyaki steak sauce Juice of 2-3 lemons Salt and pepper Remove from refrigerator and top with 1-2 tablespoons of butter. Grill or broil to desired level of doneness. Let meat rest before slicing. Easiest Twice-Baked Potatoes Ever Bake two large baking potatoes. Scoop out inside, leaving a small border of potato around edges. Add to the meat of the potatoes: • Small container of French onion dip • 1-2 tablespoons of butter Stir and return mixture to potatoes. Top with a sprinkle of bacon pieces and shredded cheese, if desired. Place under the broiler or in microwave for a couple of minutes until butter and cheese are melted; don't overcook. Make-Your-Own Chocolate-Covered Strawberries 1-pint fresh strawberries 1 cup milk chocolate chips, white chocolate or dark chocolate chips 1 teaspoon coconut oil Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Dry strawberries well with paper towels to make sure chocolate adheres perfectly. Heat chocolate chips and coconut oil in microwave safe bowl for 2 minutes on 50%. Stir until smooth. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, making sure the strawberry is covered almost to the stem. Place chocolate covered strawberry onto parchment lined baking sheet and place into the freezer for at least 15 minutes to set. Once chocolate is set, you can dip the bottom half of strawberries in alternating chocolate color or drizzle alternating color over strawberries with a fork. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Note: For Super Bowl, leave some “plain” after dipping in dark chocolate. Decorate each with white “football laces” using small icing packages found in the baking aisle. Shortcut Mississippi Sin Dip 1 loaf French bread 1-8-ounce container French Onion Dip 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese 1 cup chopped bacon (I use packaged Hormel Real Bacon Pieces) 1-4-ounce can chopped green chiles, drained Cut the bread lengthwise and set top aside. Scoop out the bread from both sides, leaving a sturdy rim. Combine the dip, cream cheese and chiles in a bowl, then spoon into the hollowed-out bottom loaf and add the top. Wrap in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for an hour. Tear the baked top into large to use as a “dipper” and serve along with chips and crackers. Super LVI Bowl Nachos 2 bags corn tortillas in different colors and flavors (yellow, blue corn, lime and chili flavored. Note: many Mexican restaurants will sell bags of homemade tortilla chips). 2 jars of your favorite salsa (more for additional toppings) 2-1/2 cups of cheese sauce (more for additional toppings) For beef-bean topping: 1 pound ground sirloin or chuck Extra-virgin olive oil 1 small onion, chopped fine 1 packet taco seasoning 1-15-ounce can black beans, drained Add oil and onions to heated skillet on medium-high heat and cook onions for 3 minutes until they begin to wilt. Then add meat and crumble with wooden spoon. Season meat with taco seasoning. Cook meat until all pink is gone, then stir in beans and reduce to low, simmering until well combined. To serve: In the middle of a large platter, place a bowl of sour cream topped with chopped tomatoes. Spread chips around the bowl and pour heated cheese sauce over the top. Top mixture evenly with beef and beans, then lightly top with salsa. For a gourmet touch, place sour cream in a plastic bottle with a tip and zig-zag thin lines sour cream over the top. Serve with additional bowls of cheese sauce and salsa, chopped black olives and avocados, shredded cheese and other favorite toppings. Kara Kimbrough is a food and travel writer from Mississippi.

Winter can bring extreme weather conditions. These conditions often create a high risk of damage to your roof, interior, and plumbing. Your homeowners or renter's policy can protect you against common winter damage, so check your policy before temperatures drop. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) reminds you to review your insurance policies and consider these tips this winter season. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW To reduce your risk of damage from winter weather, maintain your property before snow, ice, and freezing temperatures arrive. Snow and ice accumulation can make tree limbs snap off and fall onto houses or power lines. Heavy snow and ice can also cause unseen structural damage and even make your roof collapse. Below freezing temperatures can cause pipes to freeze and break. Interior and exterior pipes, such as irrigation lines and garden hoses still attached to the home, are all at risk. In warmer areas, your interior pipes may not be well insulated and may not withstand rare below freezing temperatures. WAYS TO PROTECT YOUR HOME Look at the trees around your property and cut back branches or stems that are dead, dying, diseased, or broken. Clearing the debris from your gutters will help prevent ice dams by allowing meltwater to drain freely. Use a safe and secure ladder when removing leaves and debris from gutters or contact a professional to assist you. To minimize the risk of frozen and cracked pipes, detach garden hoses from your home before freezing weather begins and properly winterize your home and irrigation systems. To protect interior pipes, leave your faucet running with a slight drip and open the cabinet doors under your sinks. This allows water to keep moving through interior pipes, reducing the chances of freezing, and also allows warm air to circulate around your plumbing lines.

Facing an increasingly unsteady blood supply, Mississippi Blood Services has joined the first-in-the-nation partnership to prepare Mississippi for emergency situations where blood needs are high. The Blood Emergency Readiness Corps (BERC), is composed of several blood centers from across the nation that have committed to collecting extra blood units on a rotating, “on call” schedule. The extra blood products will be held in reserve for any critical-need scenario, like a mass shooting or natural disaster. “The ugly reality that COVID brought to blood collectors is a disturbing uncertainty and scarcity in the blood supply,” said David Allen, President and CEO of Mississippi Blood Services. “When disaster strikes, BERC will give us more confidence that the immediate transfusion needs can be met. Unfortunately, we must adapt, because we are not seeing donor awareness or response following recent high-injury events like the summer shootings in Austin, Texas (14 victims) and Queens, New York (10 victims). BERC provides Mississippi and our partner states a ready-to-go supply of blood to fill the holes appearing in our disaster response fabric.” The nation’s blood centers have faced widespread blood shortages in recent months, creating a severely strained national safety net for mass traumas and other high casualty disasters. As the state’s primary blood supplier, Mississippi Blood Services joined with BERC to be proactive in its emergency planning, rather than rely on an increasingly unstable back-up supply plan. “When faced with a mass-need event,” Allen said, “blood centers across the country have relied on patchwork pleas for additional blood resources. States that had extra blood on hand might send units, but there was nothing that a blood center could count on other than undefined goodwill. With BERC, partner blood centers will know exactly how much emergency blood is available and where it will come from.” “Disasters by their very nature are chaotic. No one can be truly prepared for this chaos, but being able to check things off the list is one positive step towards order and recovery,” Dr. Damon Darsey, Medical Director for the Mississippi Department of Safety and MBS Board Member, said. “Knowing blood is going to be available is one major hurdle to check off the list. First responders are all too aware of just how vital blood can be in the time of crisis.” Mississippi Blood Services will be collecting extra blood products as part of its on-call schedule. Drive coordinators and donors will be asked to step up to a higher calling of guardianship to cover possible coast to coast needs. If no emergency situation arises, the blood products will be returned to Mississippi Blood Services’ general inventory, to be used for local blood needs. Participating centers will rotate inventory coverage, starting on a 3-week cycle. To donate blood, donors can make an appointment by calling (601) 368-2673, or visit our website at www.msblood.com.

For more than 12 years, Entergy Mississippi employees have volunteered to help customers who qualify for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit receive help claiming the money they have earned. And this year is no different. The company is also continuing its partnership with community advocates to support free IRS-certified Volunteer Income Tax Assistance tax preparation services for qualifying customers. Funding for this effort is provided through shareholder contributions and does not impact customer bills. Since 2009, Entergy’s support of Volunteer Income Tax Assistance sites has helped return $298 million to more than 164,000 residents throughout the company’s utility service area in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. In Mississippi, nearly 35,000 residents have received more than $76 million. The federal government estimates EITC has lifted more than 5.6 million people out of poverty, including 3 million children. However, one out of five people who qualify for the EITC fail to claim it. “The Earned Income Tax Credit is one of our country’s more effective tools for lifting low-income workers and their families above the poverty line,” said Amy Davidson, Entergy Mississippi senior public affairs representative. “Our goal is to increase the amount of federal money returned to our customers by raising awareness of the credit and supporting VITA sites to help qualified customers avoid high fees.” Free tax preparation services are provided at VITA sites throughout the 2022 tax season. At local VITA sites, IRS-certified volunteers from Entergy Mississippi and community partners will be available to help residents who earn $57,000 or less determine if they qualify to receive the tax benefits. Qualifying families can receive as much as $6,700 through EITC. In some VITA locations, local community partners are offering appointments for tax preparation services, drop-off tax prep services, financial coaching, budget workshops, free legal services and more. Contact the provider in your community to confirm available services. VITA site locations are available at entergy.com/freetaxhelp or by calling 211. Residents may sign up to have their taxes prepared at getyourrefund.org. Information from getyourrefund.org will be used to match a tax filer with a nearby VITA provider.
