TIDBITS® GOES OUT TO GOLF by Janet Spencer
In honor of the PGA golf tournament coming up this month, Tidbits goes golfing!
GOLF THROUGH HISTORY • The game of golf may have originally started as a game played by the Romans called ‘paganica.’ It was played by hitting a feather-filled leather ball with a crooked stick. • Modern golf was invented by the Scots, and by the mid-1400s had become so popular that King James II outlawed the game because he felt his subjects were wasting too much time playing it when they should be spending more time doing useful things. Archers were losing their shooting ability because they were spending so much time hitting little balls around instead practicing their aim.

• Golf was once an Olympic sport. It was dropped in 1904. • The first golf tee was patented on December 12, 1889 by a dentist named G. F. Grant of Boston. • America’s first 18-hole golf course was constructed on a sheep farm in Downer’s Grove, Illinois in 1892. When businessman Blair McDonald moved to this town, he began constructing the course with his colleagues because he loved golf. The Downer’s Grove Golf Course is still intact after all these years, although it has since been downsized to just 9 holes. (cont’d next page)

GREAT SHOTS • During the 1949 British Open, Harry Bradshaw accidentally drove a ball into a beer bottle which broke the bottle’s neck. The ball ended up inside the bottle. To avoid a penalty, Bradshaw played it where it lay. He smashed the bottle with his club. The bottle traveled about 30 feet (9 m). The ball didn’t move. • In 1975 Perry Crowley of Connecticut was playing golf when he hit a ball into the water. However, it skipped off the lake, ricocheted off a rake in the nearby sand trap, then landed on the green and skidded into the cup. • During a 1938 PGA tournament, Jimmy Hine’s chip shot on the 13th hole hit opponent Sam Snead’s ball, and they both ended up in the cup. Both players, who were tied, were awarded a birdie two. Snead eventually beat Hines by one stroke. • Songwriter Hoagy Carmichael was playing at Pebble Beach, California. He teed up on a parthree hole, chose a club, and smacked the ball. It bounced once on the green, rolled to the pin, and dropped in the hole for a hole-in-one. Hoagy didn’t react at all. He just reached in his pocket, pulled out another ball, teed up again, and said, “I think I’ve got the idea now.” • Henry “Dads” Miller of Anaheim, California, once shot a 99 on a 5,734-yard course. He was 100 years old at the time, and had not taken up golf until the age of 67. • Fred Astaire was nearly as good at golfing as he was at dancing. In his 1938 film “Carefree,” he danced over tables, down the hallway, out to the terrace, and onto a golf course. There he was to dance over to a golf club and hit, in rhythm and on cue, a dozen golf balls that were lined up on the fairway. When the crew went to retrieve the golf balls, they found all twelve balls within eight feet (2.4 m) of each other on the green. • “Golf Digest” reports that there are an average of about 120 holes-in-ones reported every day.

Adopting a ‘War Dog’ DEAR PAW’S CORNER: How can I adopt a war dog like the dog in the movie “Max?” -- J.T. via email DEAR J.T.: While “Max” is a compelling movie, adopting a former military working dog takes a fair amount of research on your part, and the ability to care for dogs that have high energy and need plenty of attention and continuing training. All military dog adoptions are handled through the Department of Defense Military Working Dog Adoption Program at Lackland AFB in Texas. Dogs eligible for adoption were retired due to age, injury or sickness. Not all dogs saw combat. Some worked in national security, while others were trained as working dogs but did not meet the standards for military service. Be prepared for a long wait after submitting
the application -- up to a year or more. First priority for adoption goes to law-enforcement agencies, if the dog is still fit for duty. If not, the dog’s handler can adopt it. Only after that do dogs become available for adoption to civilians. Some dogs, sadly, are not adoptable due to temperament or severe injuries. In addition to patience, be aware that you don’t have control over what type of dog is made available -- although you can state your preference on the application. Be prepared for some pre-adoption expenses as well: If selected to adopt a MWD, you’ll need to travel to where the dog is being kept (most likely, Lackland) at least twice, once to be interviewed and meet the dog, and again to pick it up if your application is approved. Send your questions about pet care to ask@ pawscorner.com. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

ICE CREAM BREAD
Seriously, you MUST stop what you are doing right now and make this. I used Butter Pecan Ice Cream because that’s my fav, but you can use whatever flavor you want. This recipe makes one 8 x 4 loaf. You need: 2 cups Ice Cream, softened 1 1/2 cups Self-Rising Flour Preheat your oven to 350. Spray and flour a 8x4 loaf pan. In a medium bowl mix the ice cream and flour together until just combined. Scoop into the loaf pan and smooth out. Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick stuck in the loaf comes out with a few crumbs stuck to it. Remove from pan and allow to cool (if you can wait that long)! When you decide to dine out, gather around our table at the Goose. Remember every Friday is Wild Game night. Each week we’re serving a different Wild Game. Find the Game Calendar, our Monthly Specials and the whole menu at woundedgoose.com The Wounded Goose, we have a lot of competition, but our food doesn’t!

FAST FACTS ABOUT GOLF • Stephen Horchler of Scotland invented a golf ball that has a built-in radio transmitter that beeps distress signals so golfers can find it. • Astronaut Alan Shepard made golf history when he knocked a few golf balls around on the moon. But he missed the first shot, taking a mulligan. This earned him a lifetime membership in the U.S. Duffers Association of Newport, Kentucky. They also awarded him the presidency of their first moon chapter. • Crows living near the golf course in Bombay, India, have developed a taste for golf balls, picking them up and carrying them back to their nests. Caddies run after the balls and cover them with a red cloth before the crows can spot them. • Sign posted on an African golf course: “If the ball comes to rest in dangerous proximity to a crocodile or a hippopotamus, another ball may be dropped.” • On a golf course in Africa, golfers tee off from the flat top of a 15-foot (4.5 m) termite mound. A hundred other mounds on the course provide the hazards. • You need to walk 35 miles (56 km) to reduce one pound (.45 kg) of fat. If you drink two average cocktails during an 18-hole round of golf, you will end up with a net caloric gain. • In the movie “Diamonds are Forever,” James Bond smuggled diamonds inside his Dunlop 65 golf balls. • Golfer Gene Sarazen was playing in an early world championship match in 1922 against Walter Hagen. At the end of the first day, he was just 2 strokes behind, on account of having missed a couple easy putts due to nerves. That night he complained of stomach pains and was unable to sleep. The next day he went on to win the match. Four hours later he underwent an emergency appendectomy. He commented, “A sick appendix is not as difficult to deal with as a five-foot putt.”

Bobble-Head Bozo Q: I picked up a Bozo bobbing head figurine at a local flea market. It is marked “Capitol Records” on its base. I paid $10 for it but suspect it could be worth more. -- Jim, Weatherford, Texas A: Your instincts are good. According to “Today’s Hottest Collectibles” published by Krause Books, your Bozo is valued at about $300. If you grew up during the 1940 and ‘50s, you probably are familiar with the Bozo albums, which were issued by Capitol Records. When Bozo honked his horn, you were instructed to turn the page in the picture book that accompanied the album. “Bozo at the Circus,” “Bozo Under the Sea” and “Bozo and His Rocket Ship” were among the most popular titles. *** Q: I have a piece of 96 percent silica glass. What exactly is it? My piece looks like it could have originally been some sort of lab equipment. -- Eula, Stigler, Oklahoma A: I had to search for this answer, but finally found a reference in one of my favorite references, “Glass A-Z” by David Shotwell. According to Shotwell, 96 percent silica glass is made by removing all compounds except silica from borosilicate glass after being formed by
conventional techniques. It has extraordinary thermal endurance and chemical resistance, and excellent electrical characteristics. You are correct in assuming your piece could have been lab equipment, since that is one of the ways this special glass was used in addition to antenna shields for space vehicles and sight glasses. It is more a curiosity than collectible. *** Q: While vacationing in Wisconsin, I went to a farm sale and purchased a banded green glass bottle with galvanized feet. What do I have? -- Betty, Flagstaff, Arizona A: I examined the pictures you sent and immediately identified your bottle as a minnow trap. It was placed in a creek, and when minnows swam through the opening they were captured to be used later as fishing bait. I have seen these sell in the $40-$60 range. Since the one you have is green glass, I think it would be valued on the upper end of that scale. Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, P.O.

* It was Henry Brooks Adams, American historian and descendant of two U.S. presidents, who made the following sage observation: “They know enough who know how to learn.” * In show business, a name can make or break you, and many aspiring stars have tried to make themselves more appealing by getting rid of the name they were born with. Take famed film noir actor Peter Lorre: He was born Laszlo Lowenstein. Beloved cowboy actor Roy Rogers was named Leonard Slye; Doris Day was originally Doris Kappelhoff; and Natasha Gurdin changed her name to Natalie Wood. And would Boris Karloff have been so well-known as a villain if he’d used his given name, William Henry Pratt? * Edgar Rice Burroughs, the author of “Tarzan of the Apes” and its 25 sequels, never actually visited Africa. * If you’re of a certain age and facing up to wrinkles, you might be interested to learn that, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, one of the top causes of skin wrinkles is your habitual sleeping position. Rounding out the top five contributing factors are sun exposure, gravity, smoking and facial expressions. * An anteater can grow to be 6 feet long, yet its mouth is only 1 inch wide. * Reportedly, anyone caught in the jaws of a crocodile can release him- or herself instantly by pressing on the animal’s eyeballs (though I cannot personally attest to the veracity of this claim). * In a recent survey of nearly 1,500 American adults, only 36 percent of respondents could correctly name all three branches of the United States government. Even more disturbing, a full 35 percent couldn’t name even one branch. *** Thought for the Day: “It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating.” -Oscar Wilde (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

GOLF FACTS The word “caddy” comes from the French word for student, “cadet” which is pronounced cad-DAY. The medieval Dutch word “kolf” or “kolve” meant “club” and is probably the origin of the word golf. Balls travel significantly further on hot days. A club remains in contact with the ball for half of a thousandth of a second and travels with the ball for three quarters of an inch.

• When Laura Baugh started tearing up the golf courses in the early 1970s, she was still too young to play on the women’s pro tour according to regulations. So her agent took her to Japan, which did not have a minimum age requirement. The golf-happy Japanese fixated on the curvaceous young blond American. Laura Baugh photos, calendars, photo albums, cosmetics, school supplies, English-language cassettes, sports clothing, and gold accessories became all the rage in Japan. She became the highest paid female golfer even though she had never played in an American tournament. • Tiger Woods was only 8 when he got his first hole-in-one. Five-year-old Coby Orr was the youngest golfer to shoot a hole-in-one. He did it in Littleton, Colorado in 1975. • Henrik Stenson made headlines by stripping down to his underwear when his ball went into a swampy area during the WGC Cadillac Championship in 2009. Wearing nothing but a glove and his jockey shorts, he hit his ball out of the muck and made bogey. • Jack Nicklaus won the Masters tournament six times. • Someone asked Muhammed Ali how he was at golf. “I am the greatest!” he replied. “I just haven’t played yet!”

Noteworthy Inventions QUIZ: GARNET CARTER
• John ‘Garnet’ Carter was born in 1883 in Sweetwater, Tennessee. Although he dropped out of school, he later completed a six-month business school which filled his head with ideas. • In his early years, he bounced around between jobs, working at a grocery store, becoming a travelling candy salesman, and going into business with his brother selling aluminum ware. • Next he went into business developing real estate on Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga, Tennessee. There he constructed an inn with a ballroom. • In 1927, Garnet Carter was looking for an added attraction to entertain his customers. He came up with a successful idea that immediately caught on with the public and became a national craze. His invention provided simple, fun outdoor recreation. It could be installed in a week and cost (at that time) as little as $2,000. • The first example of Carter’s idea was built on Long Island and brought in $362 in its first day of business. At first they were barred from within 50 feet of churches, schools, or hospitals. But one progressive church in New Jersey installed its own and urged everyone to come. The profits paid off the church’s debts. • Three years later, there were 40,000 of these inventions across the country and Garnet Carter was a rich man. The industry took in $225 million in a single year, and employed 200,000 people. The Queen of Belgium got hooked on it, and Al Capone invested in it. • The steel industry, the pipe industry, and the felt industry were very happy about the new product— and so was Garnet Carter. Can you guess what Garnet Carter’s big idea was? (Answer at top of next page)

Ida was a dressmaker so she and her husband set up a dress shop. • Ida was constantly dissatisfied with the way dresses fit around natural female curves. The current fashion was for women to wrap themselves with a “bandeau,” a strip of cloth that circled the chest, flattening everything. • In frustration – and also in rebellion against the popular flat-chested look of the flapper – Ida and William invented the first formfitting bra which had two separate rounded pockets. Since all women are not built equally, Ida invented the cup size. She later designed different models for every stage of a woman’s life. This design enhanced rather than downplayed a woman’s natural shape. They called their company Maidenform. • They were granted a patent for the ‘uplift brassiere.’ The dresses did indeed fit better. • At first the brassieres were built into the dresses they made; then they gave away a free bra with every dress sold. The bras started to become very popular, so they gave up the dress shop and started a brassiere company with a capital investment of $4,500 in 1922. • Four years later, they had 40 machines turning out mass-produced bras. Forty years later, they had 19 factories producing 25 million bras annually. • During World War II when fabric was in short supply, Maidenform rounded out its line to include vests worn by carrier pigeons in order to help out with the war effort and prevent the company from going bust. Paratroopers would “wear” a bird strapped to their chest when they jumped out of a plane. When they landed, they would attach a message to the bird and release it.

UNDERWEAR • Because August 5th is National Underwear Day (we’re not kidding!) enjoy some facts about underwear! • Abram Nathaniel Spanel was an inventor with over 2,000 patents. He became rich after he invented a garment bag designed so a vacuum cleaner could be hooked up to it in order to suck out any moths that might be inside the bag. Spanel founded the International Latex Corporation in Rochester, New York in 1932 to make items out of latex such as bathing caps, aprons, hot pads, slippers, baby clothing, girdles, and bras. Later the name of the company was changed, taking “latex” and adding it to “play” in order to create Playtex. • The Playtex Company was very forward with their advertising. In 1940- an era when underwear was sold primarily through discreet line drawings in print publications- Playtex placed a full page ad in “Life” magazine showing several photos of models wearing Playtex undies along with a mail-in coupon. Life claims that some 200,000 sales were made because of that ad. In 1954 Playtex became the first company ever to advertise bras and girdles on TV. In 1965 Playtex introduced the Cross Your Heart bra. Today it remains one of the best known brands in the U.S. and is the second best-selling brand of bra Playtex offers, with the 18-Hour Bra filling out the top spot. Today, new models are constantly being shaped up as the industry keeps abreast of the trends. • Most Historical Bras: If you’re in Los Angeles, you can visit the Frederick’s of Hollywood “Bra Museum” where they have displayed such items as Madonna’s famous bustier; a girdle worn by Ethel Merman in “There’s No Business Like Show Business”; the bra Tony Curtis wore in “Some Like It Hot”; the bra Milton Berle wore on his TV show; and Phyllis Diller’s training bra, marked “This side up.” (continued next page)

• Howard Hughes also had his hand in the bra business. In 1941 he and his engineering buddies invented a special bra to flaunt the bust of 19-yearold Jane Russell in the film “The Outlaw.” Censors had a fit. 20th Century-Fox cancelled the release due to the controversy. Millions stood to be lost. • So, Hughes set all of his managers to work phoning ministers, women’s clubs, and housewives to tell them exactly how scandalous this film was. This prompted wild protests as crowds of people insisted the film be banned. The publicity machine launched into full gear and the film, when it was finally released, was a guaranteed hit. It was billed as “the bra that saved Hollywood.” • On opening night, skywriters were hired to decorate the California skies with a pair of large circles with dots in their centers. • Jane Russell, an unknown before this film, had her career boosted to incredible heights. She later became the spokesperson for Playtex, a job she held until 1986. Years later she revealed in her autobiography that she had found the bra so uncomfortable that she had only worn it once in the privacy of her dressing room. Thereafter, she shored up her own bra and wore it instead. No one knew. • Biggest Bra: The Franksville Specialty Company in the town of Conover, Wisconsin manufactures bras for cows in order to prevent them from tripping over their udders, which can weigh up to 80 pounds (36 kg) when full. They come in four sizes and are available in only one color: barnyard brown. They are also designed to keep the udder warm. • Imelda Marcos reputedly wore a bullet-proof bra when public opinion turned against her. • The average American woman owns six bras. Out of those six, one of them is a strapless bra and one is a color other than white.

By Keith Roach, M. D, Woman Is Fit, Yet Can Barely Stand
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 66-year-old white female, 5 feet, 5 inches tall (was 5 feet, 6 inches), weighing 170 pounds. Even though I use gym weight machines for upper and lower body three times a week, walk daily for two miles and spend 15 minutes on a motion trainer at the gym, I cannot stand up easily after gardening on my knees or getting on my knees on the floor. Is there anything I can do to regain the ability to get up off the floor/ground without a struggle? -- S.C. ANSWER: It sounds to me that despite your good exercise regimen, you may have weakness specifically in your thighs -- what we call “proximal muscle weakness.” There is a very long list of medical illnesses that affect these muscles specifically (my textbook lists 28 different diagnoses), including common conditions such as low thyroid levels and vitamin D deficiency. I would recommend a visit to your doctor for a careful exam of your nerves and muscles to see if my suspicion is correct. Your doctor may suggest a trial of vitamin D. If no medical cause is found, I would work specifically on strengthening the hip muscles, which extend the thighs. A trainer at the gym can show you those exercises. *** DEAR DR ROACH: I am a 65-year-old man, and two weeks ago I developed a painful hemorrhoid almost overnight. I had never had hemorrhoids before. My primary-care doctor examined me and said I had a “thrombosed hemorrhoid.” It is not very large and in the past week, the pain has diminished, but the bulging vein is still present, albeit less tender. Should I have this removed surgically, or will it eventually disappear? -- S.D. ANSWER: A hemorrhoid, a normal vascular structure, can develop a blood clot (“thrombosis”), and then can be exquisitely painful. Often, the clot is removed at the time of examination, giving immediate relief. In most cases, the clot will be reabsorbed within a few days. However, in very large hemorrhoids, occasionally surgery is necessary. There is some suggestion that thrombosed hemorrhoids may indicate a higher risk for colorectal cancer. You should be sure that you have had a recent colonoscopy. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: A few years ago, my granddaughter, who was raised in Costa Rica, got Dengue fever. I heard that if you get it a second time, it can be fatal. Is this justified? I am worried about her going back to Costa Rica for holidays. Is there a vaccination or specific treatment? -- A.R.B. ANSWER: Dengue fever is common, but people who live in areas with Dengue are at much higher risk than travelers. The worst complication of Dengue, called Dengue hemorrhagic fever, happens in people who previously have had an episode of Dengue, so the concern for your granddaughter is justified. There is no commercially available vaccine for Dengue (yet), and no specific treatment. The most effective prevention for travelers is avoiding mosquitos by staying in well-screened or air-conditioned buildings, wearing protective clothing and using effective mosquito repellant. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

* When I needed a new tire for my truck because I ran over a nail, the shop guy suggested I purchase a slightly used tire that was closer to the age and wear of the others. I spent less on the tire, and the tires will wear evenly. TheyÕre always looking out for me! -- O.E. in Mississippi * When babyÕs teething, try this trick from a grandma: Wet a washcloth and put it in a zip-top baggie in the freezer. When frozen, remove it from the bag and let the baby chew on it. Its texture and temperature are soothing to little gums, and it can be rinsed and refrozen easily. * For fresh oil stains, sprinkle with kitty litter and grind into the oil with your foot or a stiff brush. Then sweep up. Repeat as necessary. * Hardware stores sell special bladders that can be filled and put inside a toilet tank to take up space, allowing the toilet to use less water per flush. I use a brick. Same effect. -- C.L. in Kansas * Dusting shelves with lots of knickknacks can be a real chore. Try slipping a knee-high stocking over the hose of your vacuum wand. You can get very close to the items on the shelf without sucking anything up but dust. If something did get sucked up, the stocking will catch it for you. This also works for toolboxes. -- W.U. in South Carolina * Over-the-door shoe racks are perfect for holding a variety of cleaning products and small cannisters of wipes. I have everything I need at a glance on the back of the utility-room door. I even store batteries in various sizes there. -- A.A. in Colorado Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Online at www.lovemytidbits.com Brownies in a Waffle Iron
Looking for an easy last-minute chocolate-y dessert idea that doesn’t require heating up the oven on a hot summer day? Here’s a clever idea you and your kids will enjoy -- make yummy homemade brownies in a waffle iron. Then top them with fresh seasonal fruit like raspberries, or scoop some vanilla ice cream on top. Yum! Here’s how to make the kid-pleasing all American chocolate treat in this off-kilter way: WAFFLE-IRON BROWNIES 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon baking powder Dash of salt 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled 2 eggs, slightly beaten 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1. In a mixing bowl, let your kids measure and combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, combine butter, eggs and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir with a big spoon until combined, being careful not to overmix. It will be a thick consistency. 2. Generously spray or brush a waffle iron with oil and set on medium heat. When ready, an adult may spoon some of the brownie mixture on the waffle iron. I use an ice-cream scoop. Vary the amount according to the size of your waffle iron so that it doesn’t spill over the sides when closed. 3. When the batter is baked (our family likes them crispy on the outside), carefully remove the “waffle brownie” out of the waffle iron with a spatula and cool slightly on a rack or plate. 4. To serve: Sprinkle serving portions of a warm waffle brownie with sifted confectioner’s sugar, raspberries, a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fudge sauce. Store leftover brownies in an airtight container or in your freezer. Makes four 7-inch round waffles Shortcut idea: Use your favorite commercial brownie mix. I used family-size Pillsbury Chocolate Fudge brownie mix for delicious results. *** Donna Erickson’s award-winning series “Donna’s Day” is airing on public television nationwide.

Specializing in: Women Athletes: More Body Than Sport? I suppose there will come a day when a woman’s looks aren’t factored into her sporting prowess, but I’m guessing that day will not be coming very soon. The comments and conjecture engendered by Serena Williams at Wimbledon and the women’s World Cup provided more than enough fodder for that thought. With a broad brush, Serena was alternately described as having a “manly physique,” or, dressing like a “Disney princess” for the Champion’s Ball. Many of the athletes on the field for the Cup were physically described in the usual terms--hot or not--by fans and announcers alike. Danica Patrick, we were told, spent July 4 in a bikini and a few days later was seen cursing out Dale Earnhardt Jr. for an on-track collision. His lament was not so much that his brakes failed and he hit a driver, as much as it was his brakes failed and he hit HER, of all drivers, so now he would never hear the end of it--just like an episode of “The Honeymooners” or any other show that features a woman nagging a guy over something. When Serena won Wimbledon, J.K. Rowling took to defending her body image. The top three stories on Google News the day after were about “appreciating” Serena, her body and her dress. Not one story (and this column is guilty as charged, too) about 6-4, 6-4, game, set, match, Williams. At the same time, a look at Serena’s own Facebook biography describes her as, “an Athlete, an Icon...[who] embodies style, power, beauty and courage.” When you go to Roger Federer’s Facebook page, his bio states that he is a “A Swiss professional tennis player.” It goes on to say that many pundits consider him to be the greatest tennis player who ever lived, which for the Swiss, who may on occasion cop to making pretty decent chocolate and nice enough timepieces, is about as large a statement the country has ever made outside of one of their banks. Nowhere will you read that he is “handsome.” And not that there is anything wrong with that, either. With the exception of maybe Joe Namath and Andre Agassi, you’d be hardpressed to find many male athletes talking about looks or fashion in their player bios anyway. Danica Patrick, Maria Sharapova and, yes, Serena, make no apologies for having traded a bit on their looks. But it was on their terms. The sexes will never have an even playing field, and for another generation at least, men’s athletics will outdraw female athletics and earn more at the gate. There may never be a truly “level” playing field in that regard. But in the meantime, here’s hoping that the next time a woman leaves the starting line, steps up to the plate or walks out of a tunnel, the adult sport fans among us will notice more than what she is wearing but what kind of game she is bringing.

Utility Scams When a pair of young girls came to my door, both wearing plastic badges on chains around their necks, I knew they would try to sell me something. When I opened the door, one of them launched into a prepared speech. She specifically stated that they represented our local electric company and that they were doing energy audits to be sure we’re all getting the lowest rate. She said she’d need to see my latest electric bill. I said “no thanks” and shut the door. I’ve seen this before ... third-party power companies trying to sign people up. Within minutes I’d checked them out online and learned that the company is all over the country, with different scams for each state. To be sure, I called the power company and they verified: Scammers had hit the area. Things to know: If people show up at your door offering to lower your utility rates, ask for a brochure and number you can call. No brochure, no business. If they ask to see your latest utility bill, what you’re giving them is your name and account number. Before you know it, you’ll be signed up under their company, likely at a much higher rate, with a hefty (over $100) cancellation fee. If you made a mistake and have signed up, call your utility immediately so they can lock your account and not let anyone switch you to another provider. If you signed up, your state might have a rescission provision where you can cancel within a few days without penalty. Call your state’s consumer line or attorney general office and ask for advice. Best bet: If you don’t know who’s outside, don’t open the door. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

You’ll soon be able to stop carrying a foldedup, faded copy of your DD-214 in your wallet in order to identify yourself as a veteran. The Veterans Identification Card Act of 2015 (H.R.91) has passed the House and Senate. Soon you’ll be able to get a Veterans ID card, if you don’t already have one from being signed up for health care or for having served for at least 20 years. A card that clearly identifies you as a veteran will be helpful in a number of ways when you need to verify your veterans status: a reduced rate on your property taxes, veteran car tags and discounts in restaurants, travel, hotels and car rental, Amtrak, movie theaters, national parks and lots of retailers and services. (If you didn’t know you can get so many discounts, dig around on the Internet.) It won’t, however, get you any veterans benefits you don’t already have. And you
Coming Soon: Veterans ID Card might have to pay a small fee to cover costs. (That’s because it took years to get the legislation this far as there were a few naysayers who decried the cost of producing something they say you don’t need.) One big benefit of having the new ID card is that if your paper DD-214 is lost, it contains too much personal information Ñ like your date of birth, place of birth, service number Ð and worse in this day and age, your Social Security number. Wanna-be phonies can make use of a lost DD-214 to create an authentic-looking paper copy, using your info and their name. The new cards will have your photo and name, as well as a number that is not your Social Security number. Now the bill for the ID card goes to the president for his signature. Surely he’ll sign it, right? (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
