• Onions range in size from pearl onions that are less than an inch in diameter to yellow onions that are often over four inches wide. The world’s biggest onion was grown by a British a farmer in 2014. It weighed 18 lb 11.84 oz. and was larger than his head. It measured 32 inches at its circumference and took 11 months to grow in his backyard greenhouse. • Onions can be yellow, red, or white, but 87% of onions grown and consumed in the U.S. are yellow. Worldwide, 75% of onions grown are yellow. • Flavonoids are phytonutrients (plant chemicals) found in fruits and vegetables that give them their color. Flavonoids are antioxidants with anti-inflammatory and immune system benefits. Yellow onions have the highest total flavonoid content of any type of onion, amounting to 11 times higher than white onions.

Leave the root end intact because the base has the highest concentration of sulfur compounds. Cut them as close to cooking or serving time as possible because the flavor deteriorates and the aroma intensifies over time. High heat makes onions bitter so use low or medium heat when sautéing them. To get rid of onion breath, chew a sprig of parsley.

Power cell technology different, it’s much better. Which is why a SunPower panel is a lot more efficient than a conventional panel. What does that mean for you? It means that you’ll need fewer panels on your roof to create the same amount of electricity. SunPower is an American company with a 25-year comprehensive warranty on their panels, so that’s a huge benefit as well.

Q: Terrific – so what’s next? A: It’s a great time to explore solar

– and if you decide to move forward and get installed before the end of March, 2019, you’ll enjoy a more beneficial program with SCE than the one that will replace it. A local company like Renova, that exclusively works with SunPower, is a great place to start to get your questions answered and find out how much money solar can save you. Renova Energy is an award-winning local company founded a decade ago that designs and installs commercial and residential solar and advanced battery systems. Solar consultants will answer all your questions and help you decide if solar is right for you - not pressure you into buying a system.

The dog who isn’t euthanized and needs to be could hurt a person. On the other hand, a dog that has solvable problems but proves beyond the skill set of a trainer might end up in a shelter.” By the time they call me, most people living (CryptoQuip solution on page 14) with canine behavioral problems have let those problems go on too long. Which means they’re bigger and more difficult to solve. Not unsolvable, but more deeply ingrained, more complicated, and perhaps with more side effects. In other words, the problem is now over the head of someone who hung their dog-trainer shingle based on having “grown up with dogs.” A BETTER WAY TO A BETTER DOG!

It may surprise some of my readers to learn that about 10 percent of Americans work at jobs that are not covered by Social Security. Usually these are state and local government jobs. Why is that? Because back when Social Security laws were enacted in the 1930s, Congress felt that they could not force a federal pension plan (Social Security) on state and local governments. So they gave them the option of joining Social Security or not. Most did. But some did not. And still today, there are some large groups of employees, such as teachers in some states and police officers and firefighters in other states, who don’t pay into Social Security. Also, federal government employees were initially not covered by Social Security because they had their own civil service pension system in place. But all federal employees hired since 1984 pay into Social Security. However, there are still some old feds out there (hired before 1984) who are not in Social Security. Folks who spend the bulk of their careers in jobs not covered by Social Security are potentially subject to a couple of offsets that impact either their own Social Security benefit (based on Social Security-covered work they did outside of their regular job) or any benefits they potentially might be due from their spouse’s Social Security record. There always has been a great deal of confusion and misinformation around those offsets. If you are potentially impacted by these offsets, today’s column will help. One offset is called the “windfall elimination provision,” or WEP. This is the one that impacts your own Social Security benefit. The other is called the “government pension offset,” or GPO, and it reduces any spousal benefits you might be due. The key to understanding the WEP provision is to realize that the word “social” in Social Security means something. Unlike private and other public sector pension plans, there are social goals built into the Social Security program. One of those goals is to raise the standard of living of lower-income workers in retirement. This is accomplished through a benefit formula that is designed to give lower-paid workers a better deal than their higher-paid counterparts. Very low-paid workers could get a Social Security benefit that represents up to 90 percent of their earnings. This percentage is known as a “replacement rate.” People with average incomes (the middle class) generally get a 40 percent replacement rate. Higher-income people get a rate around 30 percent. The problem is that people who spend the bulk of their working lives not paying into Social Security are treated as low-income people by the Social Security Administration’s computers. That’s because there are “zeros” on their Social Security earnings record for every year they spent in their non-Social Security job. SSA’s records won’t show that they were working another job and earning another pension. Instead, their Social Security earnings record shows gaps in their work history. So when figuring their Social Security retirement benefit, SSA’s computers automatically use the formula

nitis, is more likely. It sounds like your specialist is treating you appropriately. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I read that microwaving food can cause the food to lose nutritional value or even to become carcinogenic. Is this true? -- S.G.

M.D.

Was Case of ‘Bird Lung’ an Allergy or Infection?

ANSWER: Not really. Heating food does cause some nutrients, such as vitamin C, to break down. But microwaves don’t do that more than any other cooking method does. In general, the longer a food is kept very hot, the more nutrients are lost. So quick heating keeps in the most nutrients. Quickly steaming is another way. That’s essentially what a microwave does, since it heats water molecules very efficiently, steaming the water contained in food or that you use to rinse it. In fact, microwaving may be better than boiling, since many nutrients can be lost in the water if you just throw it out.

When You Need Help Caring for an Aging Parent

BenefitsCheckup.org is another excellent resource to look for financial assistance programs that may help your mom, particularly if she’s lower-income. Technology Assistance To help you keep tabs on your mom when you are away at work or if she lives alone, there are affordable technologies that can help.

DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: How can I go about looking for caregiving help? I help take care of my 84-year-old mother and work too. It’s taking its toll on me and I can’t keep this up. -- Exhausted Daughter

For example, there are medical alert systems (like Bay Alarm Medical, BayAlarmMedical.com), which provide a wearable “help button” that would allow your mom to call for help anytime she needed it.

Dear Exhausted: Taking care of an aging parent over a period of time – especially when juggling work and other family obligations at the same time – is physically and mentally exhausting. But help and resources are available. To help you determine and prioritize the kinds of help you need, a good first step is to make a list of everything you do as a caregiver, big and small. Note the amount of time each one takes every day, week or month. Identify the times when you need help the most and which tasks others might be able to do for you, for example making lunch for your mother when you’re at work.

Or, you could install a video-monitoring camera (like Lighthouse Al, Light.house/elderly-care) that lets you check in on her anytime via your smartphone or computer. These cameras have built-in motion and sound detection that will let you know when something is detected, and two-way audio that will let you talk and listen to her. There are even websites (like LotsaHelpingHands.com) that can help you more easily coordinate care with other family members.

* On Nov. 19, 1863, at the dedication of a military cemetery at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, President Abraham Lincoln delivers one of the most memorable speeches in American history. In just 272 words, Lincoln reminded a war-weary public why the Union had to fight, and win, the Civil War. * On Nov. 21, 1877, Thomas Edison announces his invention of the phonograph, a way to record and play back sound. He used a stylus on a tinfoil cylinder to play back a song he had recorded, “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” * On Nov. 24, 1932, the FBI crime lab officially opens in Washington, D.C. The single room lab, chosen because it had a sink, had scant equipment and was used primarily as a public relations tool. * On Nov. 23, 1972, secret peace talks resume in Paris between Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho, the North Vietnamese representative. The talks deadlocked weeks later, leading President Richard Nixon to order the massive “Christmas bombing” campaign to break the impasse.

You should also investigate resources in your mom’s town. Many communities offer a range of free or subsidized services that help seniors and caregivers with basic needs such as home delivered meals, transportation, senior companion services and respite services, which offer short-term care so you can take an occasional break. Call your Area Agency on Aging (call 800-677-1116 for contact information) for referrals to services available in your community, or for respite services see ARCHrespite.org/respitelocator. If you can afford it, you may want to hire someone part-time to help with things like preparing meals, housekeeping or even personal care. Costs can run anywhere from $12 up to $25 per hour. To find someone, ask for referrals through your mom’s doctor or area hospital discharge planners, or try websites like Care.com, CareLinx.com, CareFamily.com or CareSpotter.com. Financial Aids If you’re handling your mom’s financial chores, make things easier by arranging for direct deposit for her income sources, and set up automatic payments for her utilities and other routine bills. You may also want to set up your mom’s online banking service, so you can pay bills and monitor her account anytime. Or, if you

Onions (from page 3) ONIONS AND ANIMALS

• Onions and garlic, as well as all other members of the Allium family, are toxic to dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and other animals, causing anemia which can kill. A 45-pound dog would only have to eat one medium-size onion to experience toxic levels; a quarter of a cup would be enough to kill a 20-pound dog. Garlic and onions are toxic to animals whether cooked, raw, or powdered. • Why can people eat onions and garlic while dogs and cats cannot? Onions contain thiosulfate, formed when oxygen molecules bind to sulfur molecules. Thiosulfate gives onions, garlic, skunks, and rotten eggs their odor. In the blood, hemoglobin carries oxygen. Also in the bloodstream are something called reactive sulfhydryl groups. Thiosulfate binds to the reactive sulfhydryl groups and the result is that the hemoglobin starts clumping together. In clumps, the hemoglobin cannot deliver oxygen. • The difference between cats, dogs, and humans is that humans have only two types of reactive sulfhydryl groups, whereas dogs have four, and cats have eight. Dog hemoglobin clumps at twice the rate as humans, and cat hemoglobin clumps at four times the rate. The result is a fatal anemia. Humans can metabolize onions while other animals can’t. Symptoms often don’t show up until days after the onions have been eaten. ‪

Game Changers by Jason Jenkins

Penny Pinchers

Unfortunately this article is not about ways to save yourself coin by finding the best online golf rate, but more about the little secrets of grip techniques that top players used to win a lot of money. Steve Elkington was considered by many of his peers at the time to have carried the title of “best looking swing on tour” through much of the nineties. His set up was beautiful and his motion looked poetic. For Steve it all started with a great looking grip that his coach Alex Mercer had taught him while a young boy in Australia. Steve was taught to pinch together his thumbs and forefinger like he was holding a few coins in place. He even recollects walking to school in this fashion. By pinching the thumbs and forefinger together, he had to hold the club more in the fingers and his hands fit together quite beautifully. It takes a little training to use these small muscles of the hand, but it’s well worth it if you’re looking for a top grade grip to emulate.
