• What Anne didn’t know was that her brotherin-law secretly copied her work and took it to England seeking a publisher. In 1650, when Anne was 38, her first collection of work “The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America, By a Gentlewoman of Those Parts,” was published. Because she believed she was writing only for her own enjoyment and not for the eyes of others, she was very candid and honest about her life, her marriage, the role of women, her Christian beliefs and her hope of heaven. • Although the publication was popular in England, it was met with criticism in the colonies. A prominent political figure spoke out regarding women’s roles, stating that women should leave writing and reading to men, “whose minds are stronger.”

Several dozen of the Separatists group had left England for the Netherlands some ten years earlier and still remained there. Another ship, the Speedwell, was hired to sail to Holland and bring those Separatists back to rendezvous with the Mayflower at Southampton. • Both ships then departed together for the voyage to the New World on August 5. But the Speedwell sprang a leak shortly after, and both ships turned around to Dartmouth for repairs.

• Finally, on September 16, the ship left Plymouth with 102 passengers plus a crew of about 25 or 30, bringing the total to about 130 onboard.

The Mayflower had All Rights Reserved two smaller boats aboard, one called a shallot, which was a 21foot long dinghy-type craft that was dismantled for the voyage and stored on the gun deck. The ship also carried a long boat, an open boat that could be rowed by 8 or 10 oarsmen.

• On November, 21, 1620, after dropping anchor in Massachusetts, and prior to leaving the ship, the colonists signed the Mayflower Compact, a written agreement that set forth the rules of government and a code of conduct, establishing legal order for the settlement. • After docking, Commander Myles Standish led a party of armed men to explore the area and find a location for settling. A month was spent studying the region before settling on Plymouth, 77 miles away. The Mayflower anchored in Plymouth 30 on December 21, and 1 on Christmas Day, construction of dwellings began. • Eighteen men brought their wives on the arduous journey. Three of the wives were pregnant, and one baby was born while the ship was at sea. The baby, Oceanus Hopkins, was so named for the Latin word for “ocean,” since he was born on the Atlantic. While anchored in Provincetown Harbor, Susanna White gave birth to a son, Peregrine, aboard the Mayflower, the first English child born to the Pilgrims in America. • Although construction on land was under way, the passengers remained on board the Mayflower for the winter.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

by Mary Hunt

By Samantha Weaver

* It was British politician John Sweeney who made the following sage observation: “How can a society that exists on instant mashed potatoes, packaged cake mixes, frozen dinners and instant cameras teach patience to its young?” * Golfers beware: Don’t chew on the tees. One golfer who was in the habit of gnawing while he played overdosed on pesticides after playing 36 holes in one day. * The longest word in the English language that can be typed using only one hand is “stewardesses.”

8 Surprising Ways Lemons Can Make Your Life Easier Everyday CHEAPSKATE

® son gave me the Several years ago, my bounty from the two fruit trees that pretty much by Mary Hunt rule his backyard. My Mother’s Day gift of Meyer lemons weighed in at 124 pounds. I know, lucky me! I had to figure out ways to use, share and preserve lemons in a big hurry. I juiced, cooked and baked all kinds of lemon things. And I learned so many ways to use lemons around the house, too! Who knew lemons could be so useful?

* It’s been reported that the last words of 19-century American author, essayist, biographer and historian Washington Irving were, “Well, I must arrange my pillows for another night. When will this end?”

LAUNDRY TREATMENT You don’t need bleach or chemicals to brighten your white laundry. Add lemon juice to the wash cycle to get cleaner and naturally scented clothes. Lemon juice is also good for removing stains. You can directly apply lemon juice to the spot before washing the garment, or for bigger stains, soak the clothing in a bucket of hot water with 1/4 cup each baking soda and lemon juice. SORE THROAT There’s nothing like a Hot Toddy for a sore throat, but you don’t have to include the whiskey. Juice from 1 lemon in a cup of hot water will also do the trick, as lemons have antibiotic properties. Add honey for sweetness and you’ll have added one more germ killer. NATURAL PRESERVATIVE Squeeze fresh lemon juice over freshcut fruits or veggies to prevent browning. This is the reason why many guacamole recipes call for lime; in addition to the flavor, it slows the guacamole from turning brown as it is exposed to the air

ZAP STRONG ODORS To remove odors from garbage disposals, WEEDKILLER you can drop in leftover lemon peels (cut them Believe it or not, you can use lemon small so they don’t jam the blade).

Recently we highlighted the focused attention a responsible breeder brings to the first five weeks of a dog’s life. But the work doesn’t stop at week five, and the benefits of perseverance last a lifetime. Cardigan Welsh Corgi breeders Steve and Kelly Porter believe that “from the moment puppies enter the world, they begin to learn and understand. We work to get newborn puppies to be confident and comfortable with their surroundings. The result is a firm foundation for training, which will ensure a happy, mentally healthy and eager-to learn-dog.” The Porters spend upward of 12 weeks “exposing every pup to as many textures and sounds and experiences with people, animals and objects as possible -- all in an effort to increase each puppy’s self-awareness and confidence.” The intelligence behind the Porters’ puppyrearing methods is born of their knowledge of the stages of a dog’s development. Equally important are their efforts to devote space and time to promote the individuality of each dog. This provides a gauge for how and when to introduce a pup to the many faces of the world at large. Every nuance of this process ultimately serves both the dog and his future owner. Responsible breeders make every effort to raise healthy, confident dogs. For most, the reward is in the journey, which ends not with the sale of a puppy but with the making of a perfect match. The créme de la créme of breeders don’t sell dogs; they interview people. They have more than a financial stake in their dogs. They have a heart investment. They have a bond. And they’re looking for an owner who will give “their” dog the love and attention he deserves -- and to which he’s Casey's Corner: Turn to page 10

Online Lothario's Only Love Is Your Money Think you’re immune from getting scammed by experimenting in an innocent online romance? Think again. Authorities recently charged 80 people with running scams around the world designed to defraud women of money. Only 17 of those crooks have actually been arrested as authorities attempt to hunt down the rest. No easy feat when some of these perpetrators happen to live in another country thousands of miles away. . In one such scam, a Japanese woman fell for a man she truly believed to be a U.S. soldier stationed in Syria after meeting him through an online pen pal site. In reality, he was in Los Angeles and was part of a whole crew of thieves, all operating with false identities, and all with the same sinister goal: To bilk every dime they could from vulnerable, romance-seeking females.

He wanted her to do some favors for him. In this case, it was to manage a shipment of diamonds he claimed to have found. As the scam progressed and his phony story became more involved, he began asking her for money which, of course, he promised to repay as soon as he was discharged from the military and able to cash in the precious gems. She was more than eager to help, and wired all the funds as he needed them.

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

I Can’t Get Involved in Personal Social Security Cases

Over the more than 20 years that I’ve been writing this column, I’m sure I’ve helped tens of thousands of people get a better understanding of the Social Security system. But one thing I can’t do is get involved in a reader’s personal Social Security case. Yet, every single day, I get emails from readers asking me to do just that. One very unhappy reader told me that she is getting disability benefits but there is some kind of mix-up involving unpaid student loans. She said that the government held back some of her Social Security benefits to repay these overdue college loans. But she claims she has already paid off the loans. She asked for my help in getting her Social Security money back. In another email, a reader went off on a long rant about how the Social Security Administration was supposedly incorrectly holding back some of her Social Security check to repay an overpayment. I guess she’s been haggling with SSA over this issue for a long time. She wanted me get involved and “do something!” Yet another reader told me that he had allegedly been approved for Social Security disability by a judge. But somehow that decision got reversed, and he’s trying to fight this. He wanted me to tell him why the decision was changed. And here is one more example.

Home Sharing Programs Can Help Seniors Find Renters

COMPUTER HELP!

DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: What can you tell me about senior home sharing programs? I am a 76-year-old man living alone and am interested in renting out a spare room in my house for extra cash and for some help around the house. I have never done this before and could use some advice. -- Senior Homeowner Dear Senior: Renting out a spare room in your house is a great way to generate some extra income and even get some help with with household chores. To find a good fit, older homeowners often turn to “home sharing programs” that will match an empty nester with someone needing affordable housing. But be aware that home sharing isn’t for everyone. You need to carefully consider the pros and cons of renting out a spare room in your house and make a list of what you want and don’t want in a housemate/renter. To help you figure this out visit SharingHousing.com, a website dedicated to understanding home sharing. It offers a guide and workbook ($25) to help you find and choose a good housemate. Finding a Match

Most home sharing programs are free to use or request a small donation. Others, however, may charge the homeowner and potential renter a fee for this service. To look for a home sharing program in your area visit the National Shared Housing Resource Center website at NationalSharedHousing.org. Other Options If you don’t find a program that serves your area, you can also search for housemates through an online home sharing service like Silvernest.com or SeniorHomeshares.com. These sites work more like online dating sites that require homeowners and home seekers to fill out a profile. Once a match is made, you’ll be responsible for contacting and interviewing prospective renters and making the final agreement. If you don’t have any luck with any of these home sharing sites, put a call in to your Area Agency on Aging (call the Eldercare Locator at 800-677-1116 for contact information). They may be able to offer assistance or refer you to local agencies or nonprofit organizations that offer shared housing help.

Style Is a Melange of Earlier Designs

and Wilhelm Grenier were commissioned to establish the business in 1794. As one of the oldest porcelain factories in Germany, the company survived turmoil, world wars and changes in management and owners. In the beginning, their high-quality porcelain was intended for royalty. They soon realized the advantage of providing porcelain for the public. In the late 1800s, the company branched out and began making more than dinnerware, coffee and tea sets. It introduced novelty series including Sunbonnet Babies, Devil and Cards, Shell Shapes, Art Nouveau Lady, Rose Tapestry, Santa Claus and the Tomato figural pieces. Royal Bayreuth has used several marks over the years. The mark you provided was used beginning in 1900.

Enclosed is a photo of an antique chair I purchased in 1969 in Columbus, Ohio. The elaborately car ved frame is walnut. When I cleaned it with Murphy Oil Soap, the color really came alive. It was originally upholstered with needlepoint and stuffed with horsehair. Anything you can tell me about the vintage and value of my chair will be appreciated.

There was a myriad of revivals of ear lier design periods in the late 1800s and very early 1900s. You have an early 20th-century revival armchair that reflects a batch of styles, including 18th century English, French rococo and baroque furniture. Your ornately scrolled, carved frame embellished with the Ornate, oak-carved arm chair was made in the early 1900s.. carved shell motif represents this melange of styles. Your armchair is circa 1920 and would probably be worth $200 to $400. *** This mark is on a porcelain teapot I have. It is the shape of a red tomato with a leaf-green spout, handle and base. Smaller red tomatoes form the lid. The height is almost 3 inches tall, and it’s 5 inches wide. I hope you can tell me something about its manufacturer, age and value.

Royal Bayreuth Porcelain Factory was located in Bavaria.

Your teapot is part of the Tomato series, which included water pitchers, bowls, sugar bowls, salt-and-pepper shakers and two sizes of teapots. Your piece is one of the smaller teapots and was made circa 1900. Its value would probably be $35 to $45. * * *

* On Sept. 16, 1620, the Mayflower sails from Plymouth, England, bound for the New World with 102 passengers. Although headed for Virginia, stormy weather and navigational errors forced the Mayflower off course. On Nov. 21, the Pilgrims reached Cape Cod at what is now Provincetown, Massachusetts. * On Sept. 21, 1780, during the American Revolution, American Gen. Benedict Arnold meets with British Major John Andre to discuss handing over West Point to the British, in return for money and a position in the British army. The plot was foiled and Arnold became synonymous with the word “traitor.” * On Sept. 20, 1946, the inaugural Cannes Film Festival opens at the resort city of Cannes on the French Riviera. It was to make its debut in 1939, but the outbreak of World War II forced its cancellation. * On Sept. 19, 1957, the United States detonates a 1.7 kiloton nuclear weapon in an underground tunnel at the Nevada Test Site, 65 miles north of Las Vegas. It was the first fully contained underground detonation and produced no radioactive fallout. * On Sept. 18, 1973, future president Jimmy Carter files a report with the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, claiming he had seen an UFO in October 1969. Carter and other witnesses described the object as “very bright [with] changing colors.” * On Sept. 22, 1985, the first “Farm Aid” concert is held in Champaign, Illinois, started with an offhand remark made by Bob Dylan. The Farm Aid organization has since raised more than $33 million to support small-farm owners. * On Sept. 17, 1996, talk show host Oprah Winfrey launches a television book club and announces “The Deep End of the Ocean,” by Jacquelyn Mitchard, as her first selection. Since then, Oprah’s Book Club has catapulted dozens of little-known books onto best-seller lists.

Royal Bayreuth Porcelain Factory in Germany made your teapot. In 1792, at the request of Friedrich Wilhelm II, King of Prussia, geologist Alexander von Humboldt researched an appropriate site for a porcelain factory. He recommended Tettau, a small village in the Thuringian hills in Bavaria, as the place for the factory. Johann Schmidt

• One enterprising passenger, shoemaker and businessman William Mullins, brought 126 pairs of shoes, 13 pairs of boots, oiled leather and canvas suits, breeches, shirts, hats, stockings, and various other clothing items in his luggage to set up business. Although he died during the first winter in the colonies, his estate, left to his daughter Priscilla and her new husband John Alden, enabled them to carry on the business and become quite prosperous. • John Alden was the ship’s barrel maker, who decided not to return to England with the rest of the Mayflower’s crew, instead staying behind to marry Priscilla Mullins. The couple had ten children, and their descendants include President John Adams, poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Vice-President Dan Quayle, Marilyn Monroe, and Orson Welles.

• Other notables who can trace their lineage back to Mayflower passengers include Franklin D. Roosevelt, George W. Bush, Bing Crosby, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Movie actor Vincent Price is a direct descendant of the first child, Peregrine White. �

Impact with a golf ball may be one of the most mysterious actions in any sport due to the speed of the swing and the conditions of the ball and club design. One of the great myths in golf is that the impact position should mirror the address position. Nothing could be further from the truth. Impact has dynamic changes in the body position, hand position, and especially club orientation. The “line of compression” of the left arm and club could be an image that revolutionizes your game

Impact (Compression Line)

At address, the left arm and club shaft should have a slight angle to one another. This may change slightly with woods, but for most irons it is consistent. By impact the body has turned and shifted from its original position, while the left arm and club now form a straight line. This line of compression is what creates maximum energy transfer and enables center contact more consistently than poorer impact alignments. In front of a mirror or window, rehearse slow swings that you can pause at impact. Notice the ADVERTISING PROOF dynamic changes of the body, but pay particular Finalattention Changes DUE:that compression line. 5:00 to forming
