game, Georgia was playing the University of Virginia. During a pile-up, a player named Von Gammon ended up on the bottom and was found unconscious. He later died of a brain concussion. As a result of his unfortunate death, the school ordered its team disbanded as protests against the brutality of football began to spread.

• A bill was introduced to the Georgia state legislature to ban the sport of football from the entire state. When it passed and was sent to the governor for his signature, it looked like football was doomed. But a woman came forward. She wrote a letter to the governor, pleading with him not to use Von Gammon’s death as an excuse to outlaw a good game. Because of this letter, the Governor refused to sign the bill into law. Football was saved. The woman who had written the history-changing letter was Von Gammon’s own mother.

Football (from page one) of the game diminished somewhat when the forward pass was introduced, which cut down the number head-on confrontations. • In 1890 the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland challenged the Army cadets of West Point to a game of football, but West Point had no team. A cadet named Dennis Michie accepted that challenge and set about trying to recruit some willing players. However, Michie’s father, a West Point officer, felt that football was nothing more than a pathetic game for ruffians and had no merit as a legitimate academy-level sport. He told his son to quit the project. • But Dennis Michie defied his father, and three weeks later 300 spectators gathered to watch the first Army-Navy football game in history. The inexperienced Army team was easily defeated 24 to 0. Not even Dennis Michie’s father could swallow such a humiliating defeat. He ordered his son to do better next year and “beat the pants off that Navy team.” Today the football stadium at West Point is named after Dennis Michie, founder of the Army-Navy rivalry. • In 1893 a little old lady found watching football very entertaining and was often in the crowd whenever the Annapolis football team played a game. She had become friendly with one of the players named Reeves. During one game she

Pain tolerance tests alert you to any areas on the dog’s body that are sensitive and may provoke a response. There are also hand tests and noise tests to determine other idiosyncrasies. Some trainers or animal behaviorists can be enlisted for a fee to come with you to a shelter and test several dogs on your behalf. Or you can read more about how to administer these tests in my book “When Good Dogs Do Bad Things.” At the very least, though, spend a couple of hours with several dogs before you take one home. As my good friend Mordecai Siegal used to say, this is the one time you get to pick your relative! Woof!

help with symptoms. The answer: No, it’s the daily, small activities that were protecting motor skills. It’s those routine movements that were linked to fewer motor symptoms, even in those patients with lower dopamine levels. So, say the researchers, get up and move. Any kind of movement appears to help, as long as it keeps you active and doing your normal, daily tasks.

Stop worrying and get a good night’s rest. You did what you did and that’s that. And in my opinion, you didn’t make a mistake. Had you started your benefits at 70, you would have received an ongoing monthly benefit equal to 132 percent of your full retirement-age rate. By taking benefits six months early, your ongoing rate will be 128 percent of your FRA benefit. So you lost four percent. But you gained the six months of retroactive benefits. I hope you took that money and had a good time with it!

I am 60 years old and have been getting disability benefits for about 5 years. When can I start getting some of my ex-husband’s Social Security? He is 66 years old and has been on Social Security for many years.

I am 69 years old. I get $1,348 per month from my own Social Security. I was married just one time. I was married Nov. 21, 1974 and divorced on Nov. 1, 1984. My exhusband married several more times after he divorced me. Is there any way I can get any extra Social Security from his record? I sure could use the money.

No. Social Security does not pay any special benefits to caretakers. However, if your grandmother is incapable of handling her own Social Security affairs, and if you are indeed handling all of her caregiving and financial needs, then you should apply with the Social Security Administration to be her “representative payee.” If you are so appointed, your grandma’s Social Security checks will be sent in your name to your bank account to use on her behalf.

I took widow’s benefits at 60, intending to switch to my own at 70. When I was about to turn 70, I called Social Security to make the switch. The man on the phone talked me into taking 6 months retroactive benefits. So I didn’t get my full age-70 rate. That was about a year ago and I’ve been losing sleep about it ever since. Did I make a huge mistake?

This week, instead of concentrating on just one topic, I’m going to dig into my mailbag and answer random questions. I will try to keep my answers short and sweet so I can squeeze in as many questions as my column space will permit:

I’m sorry, but you aren’t due any extra Social Security from your ex. The law is very specific. It says you must have been married at least 10 years to qualify for benefits as a divorced spouse. Or to be more precise, the law says your marriage must have reached its 10th anniversary. And if the dates you gave me are accurate, you came up just 20 days short of reaching that anniversary. And I’m afraid that means you also come up short in trying to get extra Social Security benefits.

I was single all of my life and thought I would die that way. But out of the blue, I met a man and fell in love and we got married last year. He is 84 and I am 79. He was married once before for about 30 years. He divorced his first wife 10 years ago and she is getting part of his Social Security now. His Social Security check is almost twice as much as mine. He isn’t in the best of health, and I don’t think he will live the 10 years required for me to get any widow’s benefits after his death. But would I at least qualify for his burial benefit? Or will that go to his first wife?

A warm sensation over different parts of your body should make your doctor think of conditions like carcinoid syndrome and pheochromocytoma. These are tumors that secrete hormone-like substances that can cause odd feelings, such as flushing or warmth, in different parts of the body. They can be screened for with simple urine and blood tests. I agree with you that being awakened with this sensation makes anxiety or panic attack less likely.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been having weird spells for about six months. They occur only occasionally and last a couple of days and nights. They awaken me out of sleep and are a little frightening. It starts with a burning sensation on the right side of my nose. I feel as if I have to remember something, and a wave of warmth floods over my upper torso, down to my arms. I feel my heart fluttering, and am a little sick to my stomach. I also have funny sensations in my right ear. It lasts a few seconds, and I just have to ride it out. When it’s over, I feel weak for a while. I saw a neurologist, who mentioned that it might be anxiety, which made me mad -being awakened out of a sound sleep doesn’t seem to me that I am anxious, as I have no trouble sleeping! He wanted to put me on a medication with a lot of side effects, such as dizziness and hallucinations. I do not want to be on medication, but I also don’t want to have a grand mal seizure. He could not tell me if I could have one or not. I only want affirmation that I am not crazy! -- L.G.

Senior-Friendly Furniture Aids for Mobility Challenged Seniors Dear Savvy Senior: I am interested in purchasing a recliner that lifts and lowers off the ground, or some other type of senior-friendly furniture that can help my elderly father. He’s arthritic and overweight and struggles mightily with getting up from most of the cushioned furniture in the house. What can you recommend? -- Need a Boost Dear Need: The task of sitting down and/or getting up from soft cushioned furniture is a problem for many seniors who struggle with excessive weight, arthritis or other mobility issues. Here are some different product solutions that can help. Lift Recliners One of the most popular types of cushioned furniture on the market today for mobility challenged seniors is an electric recliner lift chair. While they look just like regular recliners, powerlift recliners come with a built-in motor that raises and lowers the entire chair, which makes sitting down and getting up much easier. With literally dozens of different types and styles of lift recliners to choose from, here are a few key points that can help you select a good fit for your dad. • Chair size: The recliner needs to fit the

person sitting in it, so your dad’s height and weight will determine the size of chair he needs. • Reclining options: Aside from the lifting system, the degree in which the chair reclines is your choice too. Most lift recliners are sold as either two-position, three-position or infinite-position lift chairs. The two-position chairs recline only to about 45 degrees, which makes them ideal for watching TV or reading. But if your dad wants to nap, he’ll probably want a three-position or infinite-position chair that reclines almost completely horizontally. • Style and features: You’ll also need to choose the type of fabric, color and back style you want the chair to be, or if you want any extra features like built-in heating or massage elements, or a wall hugging chair which is great if you’re tight on space.

For years the chipping set up was taught with a series of mysterious and confusing elements. Point the feet way left. Put the ball behind the right foot. Lean most of the body weight left. All of which created an awkward looking system and typically low, screaming chips that ran off the green. Modern tour players keep chipping quite simple. They aim slightly left or fairly square with their feet, usually a clubhead apart. No need to aim way left. The ball position is slightly back of center. This keeps the club from leaning drastically, giving the clubhead reasonable loft. The body weight is partially left sided, which again aids in a little more loft on the shot. If you need a long distance, running chip that comes out hot…grab your 7 iron instead of the sand wedge. Clear out the confusion with a simplified chipping set up.
