LOS ANGELES — Wilford Brimley, who worked his way up from movie stunt rider to an indelible character actor who brought gruff charm, and sometimes menace, to a range of films that included “Cocoon,” “The Natural” and “The Firm,” has died. He was 85.

Brimley’s manager Lynda Bensky said the actor died Saturday morning in a Utah hospital. He was on dialysis and had several medical ailments, she said.

The mustached Brimley was a familiar face for a number of roles, often playing characters like his grizzled baseball manager in “The Natural” opposite Robert Redford’s bad-luck phenomenon. He also worked with Redford in “Brubaker” and “The Electric Horseman.”

Brimley’s best-known work was in “Cocoon,” in which he was part of a group of seniors who discover an alien...

Many have been asking me where I get the pictures for the mystery plants. Some I take in my weekly visits to gardens, others are sent to me by friends or readers wanting to know what they are, and others are now sending me ideas for the mystery plant challenge. I love all the input in trying to name the plants. Keep your ideas and pictures coming! We all learn something new. Here are your plants for the week:

Rudbeckia laciniate – Cutleaf Coneflower or Golden Glow. Golden Glow is a double flowered variety with large yellow flowers. The flowers look more like a chrysanthemum bloom

than a black-eyed Susan, which is what most people think of when they hear Rudbeckia.

This perennial plant grows tall—5 to 6 feet or more, and it can spread aggressively, especially in good soil...

The Arkansas Department of Health reported 637 new covid-19 cases along with six additional deaths on Sunday, according to a Twitter post from Gov. Asa Hutchinson.

“This is a slight decrease from the past two days, but we can not become complacent. We must continue to take this virus seriously and slow the spread in our communities,” Hutchinson wrote on Twitter.

The cumulative number of covid-19 infections in Arkansas reached 43,810 with the new cases added on Sunday. The number of active cases rose by 91, from 6,679 to 6,770.

A total of 464 people in the state have died as a result of the virus, according to the Health Department.

The number of new cases reported on Sunday was down slightly from the day before, when 662 cases were reported.

Of the new cases reported on Sunday, 10 are in...

LOS ANGELES — Demonstrators who gathered again Sunday outside the home of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti called on the city to cancel rents for people finding it hard to make ends meet as the coronavirus pandemic ravages California’s economy.

Tenant rights activists statewide have for weeks urged leaders to take additional action to prevent Californians from losing their apartments and falling into homelessness as expanded unemployment benefits expire while virus cases continue to surge.

The state court system is considering lifting its emergency restrictions on processing eviction cases later this month, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Since March, the pandemic has caused millions of Californians to lose their jobs.

California has tallied more than a half-million confirmed virus c...

The Portland Police Bureau declared an unlawful assembly Saturday night when people gathered outside a police precinct in Oregon’s largest city and threw bottles toward officers, police said.

Until that point, federal, state and local law enforcement had been seemingly absent from the protests Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The demonstrations — that for weeks ended with tear gas, fireworks shot towards buildings, federal agents on the street and injuries to protesters and officers — have recently ended with chanting and conversations.

Activists and Oregon officials urged people at Saturday night’s protest in Portland to re-center the focus on Black Lives Matter, three days after the Trump administration agreed to reduce the presence of federal agents.

Groups gathered Saturday eveni...

Of the once-revered qualities such as honor, honesty, common sense and integrity that have steadily faded from our nation’s culture, I put the related loss of loyalty near the top.

That’s equally true for us aging baby boomers, many of whom in youth were taught to value loyalty in our work, lives and relationships.

The workplace has changed dramatically in recent decades, which is likely one reason for the demise of loyalty, a quality many businesses once considered indispensable.

Today I believe most corporations couldn’t care less if an employee is loyal. The attitude is more likely to be, “an employee is free to leave if they become discouraged. Three others are waiting to take their place.”

Also, outsourcing labor to countries where those manning the phones are barely able to speak i...
